Swollen feet/ankles and baby's gender

[lobella2]

I had terrible swelling with my first two (a boy and a girl), but hardly any swelling with my 3rd (a girl). For me though I think it had to do with time of the year. I was pregnant with my first two in the summer and my third in the winter. The heat seems to make me swell terribly.

I was much more swollen with my son than my girls, and I have been really swollen lately with this one too. But both this pregnancy and my son were through the summer,so I think the heat has a lot to do with it (for me anyway!).

How soon is that baby coming? I have been thinking about you a lot!

I never swell that I know of, I mean I still wore the same shoes when my sisters were pregnant their feet couldn't fit in their shoes at all had to buy new ones, one had a boy and the other a girl, and of course I got 4 boys but wonder if the root has to do with what you crave because diet plays a big part in your body holding fluids

I had no swelling at all with my pregnancies (both boys). I agree- I think it has to do with what you eat, how much you exercise, etc. I also had a loss of appetite (especially in sweets and I normally have a sweet tooth) with both my boys.

I think all of those things- if you gain hair, lose hair, get clearer skin or worse skin, swell/don't swell, get oilier/drier- whatever it is- I just think none of it has rhyme or reason!! It all just depends!

Awww, thank you! Officially, I'm due in 2 weeks, but I was hoping for an earlier delivery. Obviously not going to happen lol!

Good luck!!!!! Have you gotten any gender clues about your baby or just guessing girl based on feeling?

Thank you! I was told "girl" on 12 and 15 weeks scan which was more then enough, I mean after that I didn't need more girl confirmations, it just felt like a punch in my face.

I have pretty bad GD with this baby, I could almost say it's EGD
I lived in denial for few months, but now I'm just waiting to face the inevitable

[Zivic-Bubac]

I forgot to say: please just share your experiences! I really, really don't need lecturing about possible causes of swelling. Thank you!

Weird...I didn't have any swelling with DD, just a little with DS...I am 7 weeks now and have been wearing pants for the last 3 weeks cuz my ankles look like they belong to my grandmother...especially the right one! I was striking it up to old age!
Only time will tell the gender for #3...

I am sorry you are having a hard time and suffering from GD. GD is a nasty thing! I'll be keeping everything crossed that somehow it is a boy. If it isn't boy, I know you will be a fabulous mom and will fall in love with your baby. Hang in there!!
