    Due in 11 days - Hoping for a boy!

    Hi, i don't have any clues in both my 12/20 week scan pictures but was hoping anyone who had a boy could relate to these symptoms.

    I have carried really low through out all my pregnancy
    I had bad heart burn at some points during 18-28 weeks
    I have had no morning sickness at all
    Hardly put much weight on its been all bump
    Hairy legs and bump... and nipples :/




    Anything i should look out for which might point to a boy?

    I'll preface this by saying that symptoms don't predict gender. I have 3 boys, first two pregnancies were similar but with DS3 I had a different experience. DS1 and DS2 I had awful morning sickness but none at all with DS3. Had the worst heartburn with DS1 (I actually went to the ER because it was so bad I thought I was having a heart attack lol). No heartburn with DS2 and some with DS3. Interestingly a scientific study found a correlation between more heartburn and higher estrogen during pregnancy. Estrogen is not only responsible for causing heartburn but for baby's hair growth. Funnily enough, DS1 was my hairiest baby, like as in head full of hair plus tons of body hair while DS2 was nearly bald! I carried high with DS1, low with DS2 and in the middle with DS3. I put on a moderate (healthy) amount of weight with DS1 and 2 but waaay more with DS3. I was all bump though with all three. I didn't notice being any hairier than normal, actually with DS1 I stopped getting hair on the backs of my legs and haven't since! However every time I've had this weird dark coarse hair on my tummy that appears early to mid pregnancy. I don't think it's gender related but it is interesting. I've seen tons of women talk about their symptoms here and I've yet to notice a pattern. I think there's just way too many factors.

    Good luck to you and FX for a boy!

    I completely agree that every pregnancy is different and to be honest its probably just me looking for the "boy" like symptoms.. i was also eating so much red meat early on i had to stop myself buying so much steak! this is baby #2 and i plan on having 4 so if this isn't my baby boy i might get him next time. I have sort of convinced myself it is a boy which is the wrong thing to do as if i get another little girl i no i will be so happy to have her as my first has been so lovely and shes amazing!

    And thank you

    I hope you get your boy, truly -- just don't get hung up on the OWT, really. People really thought DD was going to be a boy based on how I carried, how I looked, etc. I really only had maybe one or two girl OWT with her -- the others were very boy including all the nonsense gender calendars and whatnot, and my current pregnancy is arguably even more boy OWT minus the gender calendars.

    That said, hope you get what you want! For some reason I think your 19 week scan looks boyish too, but no scientific reason for me thinking that! So good luck and please update us!

    Symptoms don't predict gender and I don't feel confident in guessing on these photos, but I will give you a boy guess on the skull - just for fun! Nice round forehead and prominent chin which I associate with male skulls (this is really not at all reliable, though! pls don't read anything into it!)
