Good Luck Toots x Are you gonna find out the sex?

Flutterby, I am on aspirin and really like the flavour, it's quite sweet. Would a different brand help? Is it the 75mg low dose?

If baby is compliant Boat Girl, yep! I thought it was a girl to start with but changed my mind to boy. We will be delighted either way though.

Not if you looked at the potential risks you wouldn't!

I had 10+ with 2 of mine.. both are left handed with ASD's and 8-10 weeks early.

None of my others have the same issues.

There are very few actual concrete studies done to show it is ok.. though small research groups have shown it has risks..

This website has no references to studies showing prenatal ultrasound to be safe for the fetus because prenatal ultrasound has never been proved safe.

and 4D scans expose the baby to even more than the standard ones for a prolonger period..

I refused more than necessary scans for all the younger ones.

Pigpen, I do find nothing wrong with being left handed - us lefties just have a harder time with scissors

My brother has autism as well and mum always said she felt something wasn't 100% with that pregnancy from the start, even before ultrasound became a thing that was popular (back in the late 80s).

Starting to look pregnant now, my bloated tummy goes down no more. Still getting pretty bad aches along my sides around my hips so I'm gonna keep an eye on it and if it gets sore I'll be back into the doctor to get sorted! I've 29 days till my next scan, I'll be excited to see what sex baby is.. So far all the crocheting I've done has all been green :rotfl:
