Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

fran-o

thinking of you lilmissup, be kind to yourself, take it easy x

thanks for the kind wishes TeamLowe and 4nnabella (yes I remember you, how spooky about the dates! Thanks for posting )

I went home from work half an hour early yesterday as I'd been feeling sick a while, but felt a lot better today. Going in late tomorrow as I'm attending an evening event so will try and take the opportunity to call the EPU re an early scan before I go in.

I have had an ok day today. I had Doctors this morning and she was lovely said I should book a Midwife appointment for not this week but next week so I booked the next which was Monday 24th.

I spoke to her about being worried as my last pregnancy didn't go forward past 10 weeks so I have a scan on the 20th June. I think it will settle me if I see 'something' don't know if I would see that much tbh but would be 7 weeks by then so maybe....oh I am all at sixes and sevens like my Grandma would say......

Sam - On a 12 week scan, a 'nub' is sometimes visible. It's like a little sticky out bit near the bum. If the 'nub' is pointing upwards at an angle of more than 30 degrees compared to the spine, it is usually a boy. If it's horizontal or pointing downwards, it's a girl.

I think it's an old wives tale with a scientific basis. Obviously it's not an exact science and is just a bit of fun. But like the Chinese gender predictions!

Fran - Good luck getting a scan appointment and glad you are feeling better.

Sam - Good news about your scan too. 20th isn't too far away. At 7 weeks it will only be a blob, but a blob with a heartbeat none the less

That is interesting. I will remember that. I am amazed how much they can tell on a 12 week scan to me apart from the defined age outline and shadows! xx

I feel sick today, yesterday when dishing out the dog food from a tin I nearly was sick all over the kitchen top! Brrrrrrr.

Sending massive hugs to Lilmissmup.

Really interesting stuff about the nub theory Lily! I'll have to remember that for my scan!

Good news about getting the early scan Sam.

At my 12 week scan they were able to give me a 75% guess on the gender based on the way the bladder lies. If it is sticky up it is likely a boy, and lying flat it's a girl.

I am going to a big training hospital in London and apparently their equipment is second to none so they can get very clear images at 12 weeks.

Turned out they were right and I am indeed having a girl!

Hey all yesterday and today I have managed to eat more and that seems to be helping with the sickness yeah

Hope you are all okay x

Is that the last one for you MV? Nice to have one of each if it is

I have convinced myself this is a girl now. I am DYING to find out.

Well done for eating more Star. Always helps with the sickness. I was very sick in the loo's of the restaurant we were eating at last night I started to feel all funny, most unpleasant.

Birdie - It seems some people swear by the 'nub' theory but I think i would take it with a pinch of salt. The Chinese gender predictor got both my previous 2 correct but that says this is a boy too!
At the end of the day, there's a 50/50 chance!
