Finally let go and prayed for God's will and only afterwards realized it could be born on this day. Probably just silly coincidence and very unlikely but it gives me a little peace anyways :)Quote:

Probably mainly just my crazy dreams, but with my boys my two biggest symptoms were terrible fatigue and unsatisfied hunger! Well...my appetite has picked up the past few days. I'm not quite as tired (though has terrible insomnia like with DS2) but I'm not working this time and it's still early. I know everyone's symptoms can be different and every pregnancy is different...but oh how I long to get a little morning sickness or sore boobs! Everyone of my friends that has kids has at least one girl and they all got some degree of MS. I know this is our last child and I don't want to always have a deep yearning to know what it would be like to have a little girl.
As for Chinese Gender Chart - it was wrong once and right once. Be sure to change your age to your Chinese age when checking, I know some girls that didn't know that.
Anyways...I'm praying for all of us that we get our girls, and whoever wants my blue dust....take it please!!
From 2 to 3, I didn't know that- thanks! With my Chinese age it predicts girl! It's funny, my conscious mind doesn't see any reason to believe the chart emotionally it feels a lot better to see my hoped for gender there.
Aidansmum, was your 6th sense right with all your kids?
Thanks for the warm welcome!
from2to3- I am scared too. This is most likely our last baby because I have had a pretty rough road with surgeries and my c-sections that my ob is not psyched about me having #4 but is ok with it. Chances are she'll cut me off after this one though. My head keeps telling me not to kid myself and without swaying, what are the chances of a girl after 3 boys! Of course its a boy. But my heart keep telling me that if there is any higher power out there that life wouldn't be so cruel not to give me a girl after all I've been through to have this baby. Its not like I don't want to have a boy, its the thought of my dream for a daughter never coming true that tortures me. I just don't want to live always desperately wanting something I'll never have, and always wondering what she would have looked like and what kind of relationship we could have had etc. I just can't even think about it cause it only upsets me.
I almost just don't want to know, I'm too scared that hearing "boy" will throw me off into having to face my fear of never having a dd. In the past with my boys, of course I was upset, but I always knew that there would be one more, I would have another chance. But this time is so final - I don't have another chance after this one and I'd finally have to accept never having a dd and I'm not sure how to do that yet. I think its something I would struggle with for a very long time.
I too had a dream the other night. A fortune teller told me I was having a boy and that I would have another baby and that would be a boy too. All boys she said. I was like "Nooooo!" I hope its not a sign.
Not sure I believe in chinese calendar, lets face it -- its 50/50. Wish I could think it was true cause it says girl for me, but I'm not buying stock in it.
My pros are that:Quote:

There won't be the horrible bad hair days (I *hated* getting my hair done every morning - so tangled and frizzy and painful to brush). Hoping LO gets daddy's hair.
And yes, the thought of teenage girl hormones makes me twitch...
Welcome, prayforprincess! I really do hope this is your little girl - shame the sway didn't go as planned! That's one determined little baby. FX for a H&H 9 months x
I don't put much trust in these things. Had a go for fun though and mine came out with boy, too. I honestly think it'll be a boy. DH thinks girl, my 5 year old niece thinks girl and DH's aunt has decreed she thinks it's a girl, therefore it must be a girl. At 15 weeks, there's a fair chance I can find out once and for all, but worried about being told one thing now and and something else after on. Will have to wait for a little longer and see...Quote:

Welcome to the new moms! Prayforprincess I also have 3 boys as many of the other ladies. I also did ht twice with no success and decided to sway. I found out I am having a little girl so it's very possible after ht.
I also think the Chinese chart said boy for me so dont put much stock into that. It's never been right for me.
GT77 - I don't believe the heart rate theory either. Both of my boys' were in the 150-160 range, should have definitely been girls lol! Having said that, I can't wait for my first appointment to finally hear this one's heartbeat <3
I don't go by the Chinese Chart either, and in fact waited until I was good and pregnant to even look at it. Just something to pass the time with this pregnancy...it does say girl though.... :)
PrayforPrincess - I hear ya girl! Let's just pray we get our girls! One thing we have to remember though, is that God has a great plan for our lives and he can see things we can't. He wants what's best for us. However, knowing that and accepting that are two different things! The whole past year or two I have thrown around in my head if we were done having kids, if we were meant to have three kids and that's why our second boy was born - if he was a girl maybe we would have stopped too soon? On and on and on!
Back when we 'thought' we were done having kids I would randomly have a dream I had another baby - and it was always a boy. Now, pregnant, a few nights ago I had a dream I had a boy. The past few nights it has been crazy dreams and usually about trying to find out. Complete restless sleep!
Here's to good reports for all of us in 2014!!!!! And congrats to those that got their good reports....and most of all to healthy babies!!!
If the Chinese gender chart was right I would have 2 girls and 1 boy not 3 boys :)
FX 2014 brings everyone their dream gender and healthy babies!
Two out of 3! :( Bad odds.Quote:

I have to do a proper Tarot reading but keep avoiding it, don't want to be disappointed.
GT, sorry to pry but why did you have to do an amnio after all the other tests you had done before? Didn't you have CVS?
I heard that the heart theory tends to be more accurate at the beginning of the pregnancy, up to 10 weeks or so, then it slows down, and also the baby could be active (higher hr) or relaxed/sleeping (lower hr).
I could have written this!!!! I had GD with my last son but got over it easily because I knew we would have another one. We have prayed and prayed and prayed some more for this baby. I truly believe if it's a boy, I just wasn't meant to have a girl. However, that doesn't mean I'll be any less upset :( I adore my boys, but knowing I will NEVER have a girl will be hard to deal with! Especially if my SIL has a girl (they have twin boys and plan to have 2 more kids).. My MIL wants a granddaughter so desperately, and if my SIL has a girl, I will forever be the outcast and feel my boys will be treated differently. (My MIL had 3 boys and I believe still has GD to this day...) anyway, I can't wait to find out. Not knowing is driving me crazy. I just want to know and move on with my life (sounds horrible, right?!) I just know at this point it's done and there's nothing I can do about it.. So let's just get on with it lol fx we both get our girls!!!Quote:

menlc- you make a good point about finding out. I'm scared because I'm avoiding dealing with the heartache, but maybe its good to find out and end this limbo and finally beginning dealing with the cards I've been dealt.
snipnsnails- I hope I am you. You swayed though, do you believe that is a big part of why you are having your girl?? I was not able to do my sway before finding out I was pg -- so I don't hold out much hope for myself.

I wouldn't lose hope! You still have a very good chance..
For myself, YES I give credit to Atomic creating a personalized sway plan for me and I do believe that is the reason why it worked. After reading on here prior to trying, I didn't realize how much of a boy diet I had. I also ate super healthy, vitamins, worked out, etc. So I did make some drastic changes for 2-3months with diet, lifestyle and my dh did as well. I also credit olive leaf helping him out, but it was the combination of everything.
My fingers are crossed tightly for you!! When can you find out?
15+2 bump. Snuggled on the right - what I call my 'ski slope'. Nothing really to see on the last one at all - just the same bloated look I had from around 7 weeks.

Had me dr apt mon & they recommended because I'm over 35 to do the maternity21. Part of me is so super anxious to get the results & finally know another part of me is afraid I will hear boy & so I don't want to hear the results at all. Plus my dr said the gender read has been wrong on 1 or 2 patients. Sooooo afraid I will be told girl than go to the ultrasound & find out boy!
Love the list of benefits of another son. Trying to keep all of that in mind also. I keep finding myself getting caught up in this possibly being a girl & than I need to bring myself back to the reality that this is probably a boy. Do not want to get my hopes up. I know things are a bit different for me because I do have a DD but the thought of her not having a sister, of not being able to do the whole girl thing again and esp of not being to name one child after my grandmother just brakes my heart! I truly hope & pray we all get the gender we desire!
On another note I have finally told everyone that we are having another. To my surprise most people have been very nice and happy for us. With my DS2 & DS3 so many people were just mean & said horrible things but this time people have just said congrats! I had myself all worked up afraid of what people would say. Now I do realize that behind my back they are probably saying that I'm nuts but hey at least I don't have to hear it, Ha!!
Hope everyone is feeling good!
snails- I can find out in March. That would be my 16-20 weeks scan.
I've always found out at 12 weeks with all my others. I see a specialist at 12 weeks and they do a good job at guessing what the gender is for me at 12 wks. 95% boy at all my scans and they've been right every time.
I'll b 12 weeks beginning/mid Feb. but I don't think i want to hear any "guesses" that soon. If I'm gonna find out, I want it to be for sure boy or girl so I don't hang onto hope that just maybe they were wrong. So I'll definitely wait til March. I am so scared of hearing boy.
I have to say this pg has begun much differently than all others. For those of you who know its a girl, have you found your girl pg to be different from the boy ones?
Here are my symtoms:
-All symptoms started very early, like 4/5 weeks. In past, nothing began til 6/7.
-Extremely depressed and in such a bad mood all the time.
-no energy at all to do anything, I just don't care about anything. I am usually such an ocd person getting things done, and now I don't even care or have to force myself. I've never felt this way before.
-VERY VERY nauseous!! From the minute I wake til I go to bed. I dont even want to get outta bed. With past pregnancies I was either not nauseous, or would only get nauseous if I skipped meals. This time it doesn't matter if I eat or don't eat, I always feel like crap.
-SOOOOO many food adversions. I don't want to eat anything but fruit and maybe a little plain pasta. To be honest, I have no appetite for anything.
-My boobs are so sore and have already grown a cup size - they have always grown when pg but never this sore.
I just truly have never felt like such junk being pregnant. I almost don't know how I can continue this way. I just want to wake up when its all over.
My mother thinks its a girl cause I feel so terrible -- I am not keeping my hopes up though.
Anyone with a girl feel this terrible?
i just posted my not so sway attempt...it looks sad compared to some hard core swayers :(
Is it just me or am i growing realy fasted......

Ah but the strong sways get opposites all the time - look at mine! I wouldn't change ds3 for the world but my total over-the-top swaycession approach brought him to me regardless of the Clomid. You have every chance! :DQuote:

The nausea comes every single day, 2 or 3 times a day and last for a while, it makes me retch but most of the time nothing happens, I vomited 3 times only, but the nausea is there everyday. This pregnancy is definitely different, but I try not to read too much into it, after all I am 40 and I'm sure all these hormones are much harder on my body now than what they were when I had the boys, even though I was 37 with the last one. But I feel you pain, that's me as well.Quote:

so I had to run to the er yesterday because I was bleeding :(
There is a huge snow storm here now and I didn't want to drive to my hospital.
Turns out everything is fine. Babies hb is good and my hormone levels are good. They don't know why I was bleeding but it has stopped thankfully.
I did however bleed with all 3 my boys, but having a miscarriage once you just never know.
I did find out that my hcg levels are very high for how far along I am. They are in the 7 week range and I am only 6 weeks. I have heard that with a girl your hcg levels are a bit higher, so I am hoping that is a good sign. Wishful thinking I suppose.
What a scare, prayforprincess. I have no idea what I'd do if it were me in that situation - really don't think I'd deal with it very well at all. I'm glad all seems to be ok. FX this is your little girl x
PFP if you have been taking any aspirin/fish oil, I would wean back/off of it
sorry about the uncxertal belling but at list you know you little one is heathy. As for the hcg being highter then expcted it can allso point to twins.Quote:

PrayingForPrincess: So glad that everything is ok! That is so scary. I had bleeding (a lot) one morning at about 10 1/5 weeks with my DS1...I thought for sure something was really wrong. That's good about the hormones! Hope that is your lil girl! I can't help ya out about your pregnancy symptoms though :(
I had to laugh about the bad mood! I was in such a bad mood yesterday... I feel so bad for my boys. I had no tolerance for their loudness, naughtiness, etc! Have had a short fuse. I was quite normal emotional-wise with DS1, but I had a short fuse with DS2, that or I was just less tolerate for BS. So this moody thing isn't helping me lean one way or the other.
Yesterday it felt like my shirt was choking me and my gag reflex was a little sensitive while I brushed my teeth so I thought maybe morning sickness might be starting but apparently not. I think it would have started by now if I was going to get morning sickness.
My appetite has increased a little but not to the point of a starved crazy person like with the boys. But that could still be coming. Have moments of energy and then moments of exhaustion/laziness, headaches and overall not feeling good.
My hair, skin, and nails are terrible like with my boys. Hair is falling out but growing fast everywhere, little more shiny than with boys. Skin breaking out. Nails weak and breaking.
Ready for 1st trimester to be over! A part of me doesn't want to find out what it is. However, I would rather know and prepare myself, than to be surprised at delivery with a boy and be disappointed. So I think I might have the lady write it down in an envelope and open it at home. Of course I still have a really long time to think about it ;)
Hi everyone.
It's been a while since I've posted. Very busy with the holidays & now getting back to normal. Haven't had a chance to read up on all the post though.
Quick update on me- the ultrasound that said I was having boy I showed it to my girlfriend & she showed it to her co- worker who's a tech of 20+ years. She said that my scan is to early to determine sex & it's a bad gender picture. The penis doesn't look like a penis or labia & that it's by the baby's feet. But! That's not even my worry right now. I've been having contractions on & off for about a week. Yesterday evening my lower back was in such pain that I was screaming!! I felt like my back was being broken in half. To top it off I get news from the ob nurse that my lab & ultrasound are abnormal {they are telling me it's downs} now I have to go on Monday to talk to a specialist and figure out our options. OMG :(
I am so sorry to hear this!!! I'm definitely praying for you and baby!!!!!! Take it easy hun!Quote:
