Good luck with finding out the sex, we tried 2 weeks ago and the way the baby

was laying there was no way to tell. I hope your baby is more cooperative.

I hope the chances are extreemly slim. Because I'm in my 5th month. But

I don't know what they are exactly.

I can't wait to find out what you are having! Be sure to let us all know!

-- gender and miscarrying

Hey all I hope you're all feeling great! I get to find out the

gender of my little one tomorrow. We're all looking forward to it.

I have a strong feeling it'll be a girl, but then again I had the

same feeling when I was pregnant w/my son =) By the way do any of you

know what the chances are of miscarrying once you get into the 5th

month? Have any of you ever miscarried that far along? I've lost a

total of 12 lbs in a little under a month till now ive been

maintaining but now im losing and it made me a little nervous.

Looking forward to your advice.

If you lost 12 lbs in a month be sure to have your doctor check for

proteins in your urine. I went back into ketosis in my first

trimester and they are less worried about losing some lbs but they get

very concerned about the ketones and how they can affect the baby.

They upped my intake and had me lessen the protein and up the carbs so

I'd stop losing weight and get ut of ketosis and I have to use the

ketone urine strips at home 2 or 3 times a week to make sure I stay

out of ketosis. I don't mean to scare you but if you are back in

ketosis you may have to change your food plan. I still haven't gained

back much at all, not the pound a week Doc wants me to put on from now

on but I sure am trying!

I worry about miscarrying too. I just got off of bedrest from

bleeding I had back in weeks 12 and 14 and 20-ish but the bedrest

seems to have given me time to heal so I am allowed to leave the house

so long as I take it easy. REAL easy! I am 6 months along now so I

tell myself I am 2/3rds done! and each week along gives me better

odds if the baby is born too early. I am due Jan 23rd but I get a

twinge every time I look at the calender around mid-december. I hope

I'm wrong but I have a weird feeling wants to be born before

Xmas. I've lost a dozen other pregnancies but none made it past the

first 12-14 weeks. I truly feel this one is going to be just fine but

the fear will be there unil he is in my arms and not my tummy.

Good luck with the ultrasound!!! I have had 12 ultrasounds so far (at

one point weekly! because of the bleeding) and baby kept his legs

closed and kept turning each time until the week 22 ultrasound so we

only found out last month he's a boy So here's some open leg vibes

for you!!!
