hi everyone,
my nub scan is in two weeks, but meanwhile i have been OBSESSING with the ramzi theory. i am actually quite surprised it does not get more attention around here with all of us gender obsessed ladies!
anyone else willing to pull out old ultrasounds? i didn't get any early ones with DS1 and 2 so i cant compare.
i have a gut feeling it is another little boy though.
i am due MArch 13.

Hi Janie,

Congrats! When is your scan date?

I don't get a 12 week scan unfortunately so no nub guesses for me but I'm looking forward to my 18-20 week scan.

Whats the Ramzi theory? Not heard of that one!

I made my GP and midwife appointment today so all feeling more real! I've got majorly sore boobs at the moment which feel huge (but really aren't as I'm only an A cup lol! ). I've been feeling like I need to snack all the time but I'm not actually that hungry, I cooked a Sunday roast yesterday and hardly felt like eating anything. My skin is awful too and when I was drying my hair this morning I started getting hot flushes and feeling dizzy so had to sit down on the bed. So nice getting pregnancy symptoms, I just hope I don't get as bad sickness as I did with ds2!

Out of interest what has your morning sickness been like with previous pregnancies?

With ds1 I had a kind of travel sickness feeling all the time and my sense of smell went through the roof so I wasn't eating loads but I wasn't being sick. With ds2 I just couldn't keep anything down, I was sick all the time until about 16 weeks and it got to the stage where my midwife signed my dh off work so he could look after ds1 so I could have a couple of days rest. I was convinced I was having a girl with ds2 as a result but I've since read that how sick you are has no relation to what gender you are carrying.

Ramzi isn't that a theory on which side of your womb the baby implants on?? Think you have to have a really early scan to tell! I think left side is girly right side for a boy????? X

Lovely cake hbp!!! I'm so sorry your feeling sick, hope it passes quickly for you.

Welcome Janie, congrats on your surprise bundle!

I used a clearblue digi at the weekend to help me believe it, oh is slightly in shock that it worked lol. Not having too many symptoms yet but it is early days. Having hot flushes, dizzy if i stand up too quickly and not bothered about eating really.

Hope everyone is ok x

Wow that sounds really hard to determine!

[Tiffani3]

I read up! It's to do with the placenta and which side it implants on, left for girls right for boys and only can be determined on a 6-8 week scan! Yeah so a pretty tricky one!! xx

hi ladies,
it looks like almost everyone swayed girl! i had started my girl sway about 3 weeks before i suspect i got pregnant. get this- my whole life i have ovulated +/- 2 days. i took my usual opk, and it turned positive, right around when i expected to ovulate. no bd for almost 2 weeks after that since i like to play it safe. turns out i think the diet delayed my o for 2 weeks! argh! so i was planning on swaying pink but i don't think i did it long enough to count.
Yes, Ramzi is all about placental attachment. there was somebody on ingender who got quite good at reading the ultrasound pics and was pretty accurate in her guesses. i wish we had someone over here who could read the ultrasounds correctly. has to be ultrasound bw 6-8 weeks.

I'm due April 12th...I didn't really sway but if I had to guess I'd say boy. I'm a natural at HE diet, I wouldn't have to change a thing.

Been suffering through a NASTY case of metallic mouth...I've heard others talk about this pregnancy symptom but it's new to me. YECH.
