Due in June/July/August 2015

Nursing soreness was nothing compared to the 3rd trimester stretch as it were. Nursing was all over soreness which was more bearable than the right in front of the shoulder pain. Especially when your 2 year old son has incredible accuracy with dropping his elbow right there when he flops down next to me on the couch! DOUBLE OUCH! lol

Yeah I wanted a winter pregnancy because last time I felt like I was boiling hot the entire time so no thanks to that in the summer plus keeping this hush hush from everyone til either christmas or confirmed gender I can hide it under a winter sweatshirt. I didnt even really show til 36 weeks last time didnt even have to buy new clothes. I hope I get as lucky this time!

In other news was supposed to have blood tests etc friday but doc had a family emergency so now I have to wait to find out all the ins and outs of this hospital and the blood test on the 31st!

Why do u want to keep it ur pregnancy secret?



I already told my sisters and im planning to tell my husband's family after I see the heart beat!

I'm keeping ours secret as our families are disapproving of anymore and i cant be doing with it, I show pretty early though so could be fun to hide, plus im mega scared of miscarriage and dont want to have to do the telling everyone if it was to happen.

Oh Nahri, that is painful!i do remember my Ds always hurting me with his elbows, knees, feet, head. I swear there are targets on our chests when they hurt!

Business woman, after having at least two of the same gender, it's something we learned about people...they love to make really inconsiderate comments about the next ones and losing one after we told everyone (and having a very early miscarriage, also), protecting ourselves from hurt from others is why we aren't telling anyone until gender is known and we know things look good at that point. (We lost our angel son at 14 weeks due to severe complications of downs syndrome). People can be very cruel with their comments and, honestly they were worse about us not having the opposite gender! I am not going to let them have a chance to this time.

I know what u feel , even though I did't go through it , but I saw ppl who did!

Oh wel , have healthy 9 months of pregnancy ! 😃

Everyone knew we wanted a girl the first time around and the u/s shots we had "proving" boy were so not proving anything and when I commented about it the nasty comments rolled in. My mother has often since made comments anytime I said I didnt feel well or I felt nauseated (one time it was the stomach flu) I got " You better not be pregnant that is the last thing you need is another kid" The nasty comments just aren't necessary and I dont want to listen to "its gonna be a boy" 50 billion times just cutting me down until we know for sure. Once we know there still will be some comments I am sure but it will be much easier to deal with than the "what if they are right" going through my head.

Oh dear...I'm 5 1/2 weeks and have been spotting on and off for the last week. Just a small amount of brown staining but it's too late to be implantation spotting I wish it would stop as I'm going crazy checking my underwear and analysing every cramp I'm having. I hope everything is ok.

Hi ladies! I finally get to join a due date club! After 2 years TTC and 2 losses it is so exciting and frightening at the same time.

I too am going to hide this bump as long as I can. We really aren't in a financial position to be having more kids now, I will finish school in a 2 years and be better off, but I am pushing 40 and its now or never with babies. We already have girls and get bombarded constantly about "why don't you have a boy?" "Are you trying for a boy?" We have had the slew of nasty comments for years and I.DON"T.WANT.TO.HEAR.IT this time!!!

We will find out the gender ASAP and then decide how/if/when to share it.

Me+4...keep us posted, hope its nothing.

Call your doc if you are concerned me4! Think about what you did before hand. Did you do any lifting or sex etc? Sometimes in the first couple weeks you can get some minor spotting from the silliest thing and its nothing. But if it starts increasing get yourself looked at! especially if it turns red!

Try not to worry hun, it is common in the first few weeks but it is best to discuss any bleeding with midwife/gp
