Due in December/January/February 2013/14

Is it just me or do other boy moms feel like it's literally impossible that their carrying a girl?! Like I'm basically 100% convinced it's a boy and that DH and I could never make a girl. It's probably true too! The sad thing is I don't even care, DH really wants a daughter but more me I just want one so that people will actually be happy for us. My in-laws don't stop talking about hoping and praying it's a girl and everyone else I know always says "you guys gotta have a girl, they are so amazing' blah blah blah.. I just want one to shut everyone up! How sad is that!!

With both ds, I felt a little queasy on and off in the early weeks but it was not really noticeable as I don't remember it ever being enough to put it off my food :D

However this time around I've been feeling nauseous since bfp and at 9 weeks I'm still feeling it most days of the week. It has eased a little bit only to be replaced by a nasty taste in my mouth almost all day long and so much creamy cm that I need to wear a pantyliner. It's so different this time around that the nearer I get to my 12 week scan the more curious I am about how many are in there! I really don't believe that symptoms point to a gender, especially as I was in such a different state of health compared to the last two pgs! I think the hormones are more likely to affect me in a different way because of that. Imho anyway!

The morning sickness in the beginning many say have a lot to do with the hormone Hcg, and generally when you carry a girl Hcg is a bit higher than when you carry a boy, thus, more nausea. However, the "normal" range varies so much that this thought is hard to rely on from person to person. Same for multiples...Hcg is higher, so more nausea? Not necessarily. Although it can be, any people who had multiples said the morning sickness was no different, but the fatigue was much worse. Too many variables, and it is so different person to person. I had my Hcg checked with this pregnancy. Double the normal high for gestation and quadrupled in 48 hrs rather than doubled, and still no nausea...so I don't believe in that too much. However, I didn't have it much with my other two either, and if I did this time I'd have been more apt to think it was a girl ;) or multiples...still don't know, I guess. And based on your symptoms with this pregnancy compared to your previous ones, I'd be thinking you were having a girl :) since it's "different". Hope so! I still love old wives tales. Anyway, sorry for rambling!

Am feeling a but sick today which makes me so ridiculously happy! No idea whether this is any indication of gender but after a chemical any normal pregnancy symptom is a little boost.

So glad to hear this!!! Emily.....may this be your sticky little bean who is going to move continents when she is the size of an raspberry/olive!!!!

Dream of pink....I think that I am feeling quite like you!! Except add in some dry heaves here!!

Hello ladies! Do you mind if I join you all here? I already asked to be added to the roll call list :) I must have overlooked this sticky! Anyway I did a sway somewhat I guess, I added it to the swaying list. But I dont feel great about my sway knowing that diet is the most important factor and my least strong part of my sway! Anyway I am due on the 27th of december per my last cycle but I have a feeling that may change at my first ultrasound! I am not even scheduled til the 24th of May :( I should be about 9 weeks then so hopefully we will see a cute little gummy bear!

How is everyone doing? I am getting super impatient already! I have been debating not finding out the gender... but I dont see that happening. I have already taken every test and old wives thing I could possibly get my hands on. I really wish I wasnt so obsessed over it! But seriously, what else do I have to do while I am just waiting for appointments or feeling the baby move or something else that can entertain me?!? LOL!

Welcome and congrats oxox2013!

My first appt. or ultrasound isn't until 12weeks (I'm only 8) so it's a long ways away! I've done all those old wives tales tests too in my past pregnancies and they were mostly wrong so I haven't bothered this time! But hey, it keeps us occupied so why not, right! :)

Has anyone started to think of names yet? I know it's a little early, but I'm assuming this will be boy #3 so I really need to crack down on some names. We had SUCH a hard time with DS1 finding a boy name, and then DS2 came around and that literally used up ALL my potential names so now I have NOTHING! We like different, so it's so hard! My first two have 3 names each too (1 first and 2 middle names) so trying to find another combo of 3 that I like is going to be killer!

Well I know how you boy mums feel, Iam 110% sure it's another girl! I even convinced myself before I even TTC that it will be a girl so I will not be in shock when they say a girl, my sisters ask about names too and give me suggestions for boy names and I said to them it's a girl for sure so I haven't even decided of thought of boy names..

Yea Im not huge a believer of old wives take symptoms, sometimes people get them all for girl pregnancies or boy but sometimes we get complete opposites..

This pregnancy is very different to my last one, very small apetite,no hunger compared to my hunger pains I suffered with DD. when I do feel hunger around bout that time I feel queasy and nauseas..

Do you guys know when they usually schedule you for the first ultrasound scan?? I'm going Away back to England ill be 10weeks! I wondered if I would have a scan before I leave.

I feel in girl mode for this one, because I swayed I guess. BUT I felt that DS2 was a girl, in fact I was really quite sure... So... Not reading too much into that got a feeling thing. I think it's hard when you want something for your mind not to persuade you one way or another. With my first I didn't have the slightest preference and I really felt he was a boy, which he was. Perhaps being impartial is the only way you get a genuine feeling? And I would expect even then it's wrong a lot.

My symptoms with DS2 were so much worse than DS1. In fact the two pregnancies were very different. And so far this one is quite a lot different too, more so then the others (at this stage) but I won't be reading into that either.

I do find it hard to imagine having a girl in some ways, largely because its an unknown and then also because I'd really like one. But above all I just want a happy healthy baby. I did my best sway so if a boy got in then he earned his place. :-) And its funny because I wanted DS2 to be a girl and oh my goodness he is just so adorable, wouldn't change him for anyone!

Hopefully we all get our dream genders. Statistically at least some of us will so that's something right. But who will it be....???

Who is doing early gender scans? Who's waiting until 20 weeks? And who is waiting until the birth?

And will you guys be nub guessing?

Welcome oxo!!!
