Hi everyone,

Possums - a little boy... congrats. I'm curious because you said the sonographer said a number of times that she was "pretty sure it was a boy". Did she end up saying for sure that it is a boy or only pretty sure? When I was pregnant with my daughter the first sonographer said "It's a boy. I think it's a boy." the next sonographer (4 weeks later) told me "It's definately a girl. No doubt about it." When I said the previous person had told me it was a boy he showed me the screen and pointed out her 2 legs and said "what can you see hear" (pointing between the legs). I actually couldn't make out anything on the screen so said "nothing" and he said "exactly my point. She has nothing between her legs".

I'm waiting to have my scan at 20 weeks because there is a greater chance of accuracy.

AFM: Thursh is clearing up well. Still a little sore but not in pain. Had the kids again today. The mum rang me yesterday evening to check that I could have the kids and asked me straight out "So what was wrong?" I felt like I couldn't say "thats private" so I told her it appears to be thrush and as I'd never had it before I had no idea how painful it could be. She said "oh I had that with all my pregnancies" and I felt like she was implying that it was no big deal and I had carried on about nothing. Afterwards I told my housemate about it and said maybe if I wasn't one of these people who never takes pain killers unless I'm just about dying and rarely go to the Dr's etc I would have got onto it on Saturday or Sunday and started treatment so it wouldn't have ended up getting so bad... but on Sunday I still thought if I just gave it a few more hours it might go away. Stupid me. I guess atleast if I ever get it again I will know what to expect and will get onto treatment ASAP so it will hopefully never get this bad again.
