Do pregnancy symptoms mean anything?

I did stop my sway after + pregnancy test. I guess I didn't realize I was supposed to keep going and I am not good with that huge of a diet change. I have never eaten that little of beef and now beef is somewhat making me cringe. It's so weird how things change. I have so many aversions this time too. This is totally a different start to pregnancy and it started with so little symptoms. Can't wait to find out either way :)

It is so hard not to obsess though. I wish the morning sickness=girl was true though as I feel horrible with this pg but I have to remind myself that I felt awful with both my boy pgs too. Oh well.
Like you said Atomic, so hard not to start thinking one way (gender) and then setting yourself up for dissappointment.
I wish all this wasn't so hard :(

There is also some data that shows that women with low estrogen at the time of conception are more likely to have worse ms. Since a lot of swayers take things or do things to lower their E, it would make sense that ms might be worse regardless of gender they are carrying. Not looking forward to that part... ugh!

You don't really HAVE to keep going, it's just that it's best to go on for a few days after O before pigging out to make sure blood sugar stays low to optimize XX odds, and I think it's safest to ease back into sodium rather than going from nothing to sodium overdose in one or two days when you have a baby on board.

I agree, please do not read anything into symptoms. And please remind me of this next time I am pregnant and doing the same.

MS means nothing, with DD1 I had bad ms four 5 months, took meds for it then with DS1 had dizziness and slight nausea and the same for DD2 and the myth about the dark line on the belly meaning boy I only had it with my girls!!
