Alana-I think I have felt the baby on and off and wasn't really sure, there was one time where there was almost this pressure, like a gas bubble right about where the baby was and then felt like it popped a couple times so I wonder if that was really the baby saying hello! I am also getting more of a bump on top, and the bottom part has not grown very much...and I am finding the hb up higher, more around/above the belly button. And yes my bbs have grown...I was a D before and hate to see what I am now! I am trying to deal with the bras I have for a little longer but don't know how much longer I can deal with it....I think I might invest in some sports bras because my friend said that nursing bras don't have a lot of support and I hate to buy some bigger regular bras and then not wear them for very long!

Alana and Sarah- I have gone up at least one bra size. At 8 weeks I had gone from a B to a C and am now starting to pop out of the C bra...I guess I will have to go to D !

[charms]

I am too afraid to find out what my bra size is now - about wk 8, i went back to my sports bra's --- they are so much more comfy right now.

[charms]

Alana - 79 at 11dpo definatly a boy!!!!!!
okay well that is my educated guess anyway

[designdiva32]

So thats two people say a boy and one says a girl. DH says a boy also so it looks like BLUE is the winning color so far.

Only two more weeks and we find out.

Meanwhile...Shelley....any news hun??

[BabySteps]

The scan today was 1.5 hours!! Unfortunately I was not able to see the screen and watch, but DH saw the whole show. At the end of the scan the tech turned the monitor around and let me have a look at the babies. Yay!!! They are looking pretty cute. This scan was a bit different because it was done by a tech at a different hospital than where my doctor is. The tech couldn't tell me much and I have to wait until my appt with the doctor on May 1 to get the complete report. I did get some more blury pictures, even one of baby C's boy part!!

It was really great to hear the heartbeats because during week 18 I felt a lot of movement but I haven't felt that much in the last week. Last night I had a funny, pinching feeling behind my right rib cage. I thought it was too high to be a baby but today I found out baby b is right up there...king of the uterus, at the very top. Baby C is below him, near my right hip bone, baby girl A has the most space on my left side.

We were told that baby girl A weighs 13 oz, and baby boy B and C weigh 11 oz.
The picture of the 3 circles is of all 3 of the babies heads!!

Christine-what are your thought on hb and gender. I ask because I had noticed that many signatures showing 1st hb's reading in the one 120's were usually boys. I did alot of signature readings as soon as we got our bfp, I guess that's why I felt I was having a boy.

Alana-glad you finally felt the baby move!

As for the cup size, I was also a B and now in a D. I didn't want to spend too much on bras I wouldn't be wearing for long so I just went to Ross and got a 2 good support bras for $5.99 each. I thought that was pretty good and more comfortable than tring to squeeze iin my B cup bras!!

Shelley-Can't wait to hear some news!!

[BabySteps]

Alana, congratulations on feeling the baby move! That is so awesome. Woohoo!

[charms]

Elisa - the heart beat in the beginning just throws a curve at me - it is later in the pregnancy that when it is above the 150's i noticed more boys and below i noticed more girls.....
defintely the beta - the higher in the beginning with a singleton - indicates more boys as they divide and implant sooner than girls.
i too have read so many signatures.....which contributes to my guessing game

This is also why i think this one here is a girl, her heart beat is in the 130-150's and her beta with two at 15dpo was only 64 - i am quite sure there were two little girls in the beginning.

Shelley - i love your pictures!!! three little heads - perfect!

[tracyinterior]

Shelly...your pictures are great. I wish you could have watched the whole time though. It is amazing to me how they keep the boy babies straight..how do they know which one is which?

Bras...I went to a specialty store b/c my back was hurting so bad. I am a DD, but fit into an E...ouch. So, I got one bra that was a DD and one that was an E. What a difference..my girls are up where they are supposed to be, and my back doesn't hurt anymore!

[designdiva32]

Shelley the pictures are amazing. I absolutely LOVE the one of the three little heads together. You will have to copy and enlarge that one. I think it would make a very fun picture to hang on a wall somewhere. Even in the nursery? Its the three little amigos together before they were even born.

I also won't be able to see the screen when I have my anatomy scan. Only DH gets to see, which is frustrating but not all the clinics are equipped for when we are lying down I guess. Which is why we are going to pay for a 3D scan. They definately let me see those ones...I feel like I've been missing out the last few times. Oh, and we not only have to wait for the results on the anatomy, but also the gender!! I tell you, thats going to be the most frustrating wait EVER!

Christine, if you are right and I'm having a boy and you're having a girl I think you should start some sort of website predicting the gender. I think you may have cracked the system or something. I know I'm a believer over here.

[emajoo]

Shelley- OMG! I love love love those pictures! How amazing that you have 3 lives in your tummy Thanks for sharing. I think seeing the three heads like that, I just realized you really have three babies. Sorry, I'm a very visual person so seeing apicture makes it more real for me than knowing that you're expecting triplets. I'm so glad everything turned out great at your appointment. Grow babies grow!

Alana- I'm so glad you got a peace of mind at your appointment. GPs can exaggerate certian things and misinform patients. I've also imagined you would have a boy, so sign me up for Team Blue

Sarah- for you, I'm thinking a little girl. Unfortunately I can't bring any scientific explanation to the table Just my gut feeling.

I'm also experiencing the boob issues. The other day I was telling DH that if I have any problems producing milk with all these boob action going on up here, I will get rid of them for good I bought a pregnancy bra in Turkey from Marks & Spencer. It's wonderful but it was size C amd now I'm popping out of it already. So I'll ask my sister to get me a size D and fedex it because it's definitely a wonderful bra.

Is anybody else having terrible lower back pain? I have this pain like a nerve pinching, everytime I take a step. It's worse when I'm standing for a long time. I think i'm going to start getting massages but they're so expensive.

I can't wait to find out the gender of our babies. We have mostly girls in our group at the moment. So let's see if the trend will continue. Most people think that I will have a boy for various reasons. My cousin, who's a engineering PhD student at Purdue had the most scientific approach. He thinks there's an 80% chance that I will have a boy. God only knows how he came up with that number but I thought it was hilarious. Do you ladies have any guesses??

[sarahelaine57]

Shelley-amazing pictures!!!! That is a looong time for a scan, but I guess you have to triple everything huh?! And all that protein paid off too it seems, those are good weights, especially for triples right?

Alana-I am horrible with guessing these kind of things so I am just going to say boy! I hope the tech is nice and tells you what they think the baby will be!

Ebru-I am going to guess girl for you, and again don't know why just a feeling.

It seems that most people are now thinking girl for me, but I just don't know, I feel more towards a girl, but I wonder if it is wishful thinking. I was just talking to a coworker and cannot believe that my scan is in less than 2 weeks now, the time really did fly, but I think the last week will drag....well back to work. Have a great day girls!

[designdiva32]

Sarah I'm thinking girl too. No idea here why either...maybe because Christine says so and I think shes onto something with the beta numbers etc.

Ebru...I say a boy. Which means for sure you will have a girl. I'm terrible at guessing! lol. As for the back pain, I started getting that a couple of days ago. I woke up in agony and hobbled around the rest of the day. Its a bit better today but it does come and go. I would do a massage but wonder how that would work if we can't lie on our stomachs. Can they do them while we are sitting?

[sarahelaine57]

there was a thread about massages and it seems you shouldnt lay on your stomach, even if they have a bed with a hole in it...but most of those ladies said they lay on their side...I was thinking of getting one too.

Is it normal for the baby to be to one side? I know that sounds like a stupid question but when I doppler lately I am finding the hb more to the left side of my body, whereas before it was always right in the middle...just currious. I hope to feel movement soon because I am becoming quite the doppler addict again...I have to do it while DH isn't home so he wont yell at me for stalking the baby! I try not to do it everyday but just have not been able to help myself.
