Oh yeah, I'm right there with you Wantanother! I too am preparing myself to hear boy! I cannot allow myself to be confident it's a girl, because I have to be strong for my DH. I'm expecting this to be a boy so i can be surprised if I'm wrong!

I'm not sure maybe I'm the furthest along here? I'll be 9 weeks on Monday and I'm getting the blood draw on Thursday so I should know in a couple weeks!

Yay, that's exciting...you'll be amongst the first to know and hopefully set a pink pattern!
You get comments even if you have both genders. I have 1 boy and 2 girls and I already get comments and even when I told one friend I was pregnant it wasn't "Congrats!" It was " you're crazy". What if I am? Who cares? They aren't the ones having another baby, so why do they care how many i have?
I swayed girl but was on antibiotics and had a raging tooth infection when I was TTC so I couldn't do much cardio, so with those two factors I am fairly certain it is a boy. For me it is a total mental thing for having a girl. Because my daughter was born ill, and they don't know the long term prognosis for her, I feel like I need to have daughters in case we ever lost her. I know it is silly, and stupid, but I can't help thinking like that.
Please God it all works out for you kasey, sorry to hear your daughter is unwell xx I've had a weird feeling in my stomach all day, I know someone mentioned a sour stomach ... It's kind of like that, a mixture of nausea and sourness weird!!!

That's how my morning sickness started. It is now full nausea starting my 6th week. I only get it when my stomach is empty or in the evening. I usually eat my biggest meal then, but I have had to switch it to lunch time. That has made a big difference for me! I also found that with this pregnancy, I have to have a balance of carbs, protein, and fat to help it not be so strong. With my other pregnancies it was either carbs or protein that made it better.
It looks like a lot of us will be finding out in April/May! Hopefully we all hear what we want!

I'm the exact same, go's if I eat something and I have to snack constantly to keep it away. With my last pregnancies nothing would get rid of it no matter what I ate!

I think I'm starting to experience some nausea. I say 'think' because it may all be in my head lol. I haven't got any other symptoms at the moment. No sore boobs, bloating, frequent urination etc. This is how pregnancy generally starts out for me...I feel very fortunate that I don't get sick but then wonder if everything's ok as I don't 'feel' pregnant.
On a side note..is anyone still working out?
I still walk when I have time and the weather is warm. I'm not as strict as I was before getting my BFP.
I just posted my sway! When you all feel comfortable, please do so! It helps keep track of what is working and what isn't for swaying!

This is so me ! All my pregnancies I have sore boobs before my bfp along with nausea and head aches - this time I'm just cold a lot of the time like freezing , tired and a bit dizzy sometimes so not too much going on yet but I can imagine it's all to come !Quote:

Yep, me too...haven't lifted a finger in terms of strenuous exercise! However I really don't want to just pile on the pounds now just because I 'could'.... I feel like I've changed my eating habits and general health for the better recently and I don't want it to all go to pots now...
I hear ya! I don't want to gain a ton of weight either. So far at 7 weeks I haven't gained any weight yet. With my other 3 pregnancies, I gained about 5-7 lbs by this point. I traditionally don't gain much in the third trimester, although this time may be different!

How is everyone feeling?

I told my parents and brother yesterday we were both so desperate to share the joy with someone plus they already knew I was on some sort of diet for swaying reasons and totally on board (were even even helping towards costs of HT at one point) so they were over the moon both welling up in tears and my sister in law which was sonlovley - we ordered a take away and spoke about it all night it was perfect :)
Next weekend we're telling my in laws as DH says only fair they know if my parents know sort of thing ...
I am having the early scan in a couple of weeks like most of u so after that I will tell my 2 closest friends as unfortunately I HAVE to as I'm bridesmaid and have one of my best friends hen do coming up next month and it's 12 girls in a cottage doing lots of shots and wine etc so unavoidable which is a shame but I will have to tell them but they will be happy for me but they will be surprised I think!!
Officially tell more people after the 12 weeks scan I think otherwise - I won't be announcing on Facebook at all as I do not want the comments to make my gender anxiety even worse than what it is .
The only symptom
I'm having is absolutely freezing most of the time and a bit head achey which I had with m DS2 so a boy symptom so far !!
Sorry to hear ur nausea is worse I'm not looking forward to that hitting me soon xx

It's still way less than with my other 3- it just wears me down! I don't have much of an appetite, which is so weird to me! Like this is my usual pregnancy symptom! I have only one food aversion, which is to fruit with skin and fruit flavored sparkling water and artificially fruit flavored candy. I can have Jolly Ranchers, which is made with real fruit juice and of course fruit juices. The only fruit I can eat are basically berries. So strange! I love apples but now they taste like medicine!

I've told my mum already, always tell very early and told my dh parents last week .. nobody else until the 12 week scan even tho a few people on my dh side are asking already! Can't hide anything from them ... Buttercups I'm also freezing, can't warm up at all and so headachy aswell with some pimple/spots on my nose

Ugh! I too have pimples around my nose and chin! I also have greasy hair. Not a good combination!

I told my mom already...maybe one hour after BFP? Lol, she is very supportive and loves to hear she is getting a new grandchild. My dad, too. No gender comments from them.
My in-laws are not being told for a while. My MIL asked my why I couldn't "get it right" like my SIL after she had her DS (which made a PP.) When we told MIL we were expecting #5 the first thing she said was, "You know it's another girl, right? Why do you even try?" Weird thing is, she loves all my girls, it's just before they're born that she makes these comments.
GMARIE...
Sending you all my blue dust . I hope you get ur boy
I hate those comments like why do you even try , what is wrong with ppl its like getting a knife and digging it right in your heart .. i have already got the comments like u know its another boy right.. i just feel like saying OUT LOUD shut up . Hate insensitive comments
I am still working out, but I always work out, so that isn't new for me. All I want to eat is a seafood, everything else seems unappealing to me.
I told some close friends, but I won't be telling family until after 12 weeks.
I find my head aches are mostly from anxiety already to be honest I can feel the tension in my jaw when I'm trying to sleep and it gives me such a head ache all night - I now have a full blown Cold Aswell so generally feeling rubbish trying to not to take too many pain killers
Agree about comments I will get so many from SIL and other 'friends' I hate it I had a lot with my last pregnancy it's so insensitive .

Hope you start feeling better very soon buttercups.. lemon tea with honey always helps me and its freezing there isnt it so it should go down nicely
Get plenty of rest if u can xo
I get the comments too...I understand to a certain extent that people will comment on the fact that I have so many of the same gender, it's just when you feel that certain comments are just 'rubbing it in' rather than just being genuine. Anyway whatever!
On a side note, I just found out my SIL is expecting a baby a month before me! I haven't announced yet and kept quite about my own news as she told me. She wants a girl and already has a boy....I'm truly so very happy for her as this baby is very much wanted...however I obviously suspect that she just may get her longed for daughter and I may have another lovely boy just a few weeks later!
I hate that that makes me sound bitter when I appreciate that even being pregnant is a blessing. I would just like us BOTH to have a girl this time!!
In the same boat pinkplease ... My sil and friend are both pregnant also and both have 1 girl each and are hoping for a sister for there their daughters which will probably be the case ... Dont want to sound Like a jealous person but it's hard sometimes! I just Want one daughter :-) anyway at the docs today and I'm 6wks 4 days so a head a little and my blood pressure was normal 120/80 ... I was hoping it would be a little under after reading the recent report about lower blood pressure favours girls!

That study you mentioned was blood pressure of mom BEFORE pregnancy compared to what it was at 20 weeks gestation. All women's BP increases some due to the increase in blood volume, especially in early pregnancy.

Thanks for clearing that up xx, didn't read it property so was a bit disheartened! And my nausea is back and I've heard that a change of sex should mean no nausea if you had it with your last pregnancies, oh I don't know what to believe or listen to anymore!!
Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk
Haha Amelia u sound like me don't know what to believe !!
I literally just said to my dh 'right I've convinced myself it's a boy' he thinks we done enough for a girl but I honestly know that I didn't it wasn't perfect but I felt it was all I could in MY life situation - I will post my sway once I've had my viability scan in two weeks time .
I have no nausea or sore boobs as of yet which I've had with both my sons so that's the only I hope I have so far .
We've picked our girls and boys names so prepared either way - I wish I could afford the harmony test but my husband said it isn't going to change the result so he doesn't see the point in wasting the money on it... it's hard isn't it this gender desire !!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
We too have picked out names for a girl and a boy. We usually have 2 of each in case one of the names doesn't fit them. We just need one more girl name. I'm so excited either way!
I've learned to not read into symptoms- based on those alone my DS2 should've been a girl! It's hard not to let it get to your head, especially when the symptoms are so very different! Right now my symptoms are so very different from all of my pregnancies that I'm trying not to let it mess with me!

Well hello hello :) I've wanted to claim my spot in this thread for days now. Got a BFP yesterday and I'm going to be waiting out for viability without monitoring. I'll be fine if it doesn't work out, but keeping hope and faith that it is meant to be.
I've waited 8 loooooooong years for this moment. Not telling DH just yet. Gonna hold out until a CBD says 3-4 weeks, God willing.
So let's talk about caffeine. Have all of you cut it out completely? I'm thinking of keeping 1 cup of tea in the morning. I'm doing 3 currently lol.
Here's my entry ticket:
Attachment 34966
Love it that you're heee get comfy !! I've only been here a week but it's so exciting !
This will baby number 3 for me !
Caffeine : I have one coffee in the morning (have to!) then 2 decaf teas in the day
It's so hard as I have been having 4 coffee a day plus two glasses of wine every night (or more of a weekend!) now I've gone cold turkey !

Welcome cosmosis, lovely to have new women join and huge congrats!!! Buttercups I feel the exact same I'd did my very best and any future sway I wouldn't do as good a job so what's meant to be is meant to be. If this is my 4th boy I couldn't possibly but myself or family through all of this again ... Messes with your head. I also have a boys name picked and loads and loads of lovely girl names, hopefully I get to use. I spoke to the baby In my belly today and have made peace a little bit in whatever the gendr May be 💗

Oh and I'm off all coffee, makes me a bit sick after I have a cup so I've dictched it. Major detox after I got my bfp between the coffee and alcohol sweats galore 😂

Oh man! Not gonna do the cold turkey dance here. I did that with DD and got myself 2 weeks worth of horrible terrible migraines. I'm keeping my cuppa tea. lol.
During my 2ww, I picked out two sets of boy girl matching names just in case I get fraternal twins :D I came to terms with the fact that I may have a girl so that I could enjoy every moment of this pregnancy. My DD is such a blessing that I truly don't mind. <3 I'm surprising DH by using a name he said he loved when we first met. I initially hated the name LOL and somehow I learned to love it.
I'll wait a couple of weeks before getting in touch with a midwife. I haven't even missed my period yet haha.
I hear ya Cosmosis! I'll be 8 weeks 2 days before I have my first appointment. I could have opted for 10 weeks, but I couldn't wait that long to see the baby!

Well in Canada we have to get on a waiting list, so I can't wait very long to call. I *should* technically call next week after I miss my period. I just don't wanna deal with "everything about you makes you high risk" and be referred to an OB.
I'm not feeling so fantastic about my sway ladies u_u I really slacked during my period and after because we moved. SO I had to pack 2 days before my period and move on CD2. I ate breakfats later and later each day lol. However, my tea always has alot of whole milk (1 cup) or half cream and half milk. I'm hoping that helps.
My meals have also been skimpy as of late. Everything I eat is boy friendly, I just ate alot less than the rest of my sway because I was tired, preoccupied and also just not wanting any of the food. I did grab a handful of nuts or seeds or a piece of cheese every time I went to the kitchen. I didn't do the wheatgrass very often.
On a good note, I did drink 1L of coconut water per day the week leading up to O! Still doing that today. I hate that all these little regrets are trying to set in.
