How hard did you sway?

I'm good at staying around 1200 calories but snacking will be my downfall!!!

I did a half assed sway with dd1 but I quit because I couldn't stand the girl diet. The twins I didn't bother at all - but then again they were a surprise!
I believe in swaying, but I also believe that sometimes our baby's need to exist triumphs over any sway.

I did 100% sway if I'm honest as I'm such a worrier I knew if I didn't I would always be annoyed at myself. I did the 60 mins daily exercise and le diet, sups etc and believe its mainly the exercise that did it for us. We are having a girl so it worked for us. I always was happy with a boy knowing that I had given the sway my all. For me that was the only way I was going to be ok with it. Everyone is different in what they believe. I have a friend who is psychic who told me I would always have a girl anyway so who knows!

If I believed it was fate or a 50/50 chance then I wouldn't feel responsible but I really feel like I've let myself down. I know I'd love another DS, and I'd never think of a child as a fail but I already feel like I've failed.

I felt much the same as you after finding out I was having another boy. I took a "break" from swaying, thinking it would still take us a few months to conceive as I'm older. Nope got pregnant that same month. But who knows? Maybe I wouldn't have conceived if I kept swaying the way I was. It was honestly making me depressed and tired. So I gave myself a break. And now, even though I still wish I could also have a daughter someday, I'm so glad I got my snuggly sweet little boy. He is the light of my life and I feel so much love for him. It's crazy I was ever disappointed. I hope you feel the same way regardless of how things turn out.
