DRV!! Stop reading!! Lol. You are going to drive yourself NUTS! And I can tell you without a doubt that all of those OWT and other theories on early prediction are totally meant for entertainment purposes and hold no value. 90% of them pointed to boy for me and all of my pregnacy symptoms are spot on with my last pregnancies. The waiting is sooo hard, but you'll be finding out before you know it;) I would call your care provider if the pain is really bothersome. Maybe you're just doing too much and need to take it easy. Drink plenty of water!

Hi and welcome, K!!!

Raezodal, I have that same dinosaur shirt!! I'm actually wearing it right now. Lol.

Br and Princessmom!! I can't believe your family members would make comments like that!! People can be so rude! my little brother said to me when they had their first daughter (I had just 2 boys at the time), "Ha! Bet your jealous that we made a girl and you couldn't!" He's never had a filter...but at the time it didn't really bother me so much because 2 boys was awesome. He has 2 girls now and they really want a son. I would never dream of saying something like that to him though! I just think that so many people are not sensitive to gender desire if they have never experienced it.

Yes you ladies are right. I'm driving myself nuts. I didn't do a search though for "boys" with left sided pain. Just left sided in general and just observed that they all ended having boys which made it even worse lol! I did post about it in another mommy group I'm in. Most said they also had boys BUT a few did have girls so I'm more hopeful again. Praying they give me the blood test early due to my age so I can find out once and for all!

As far as skin goes, I developed an awful cyst behind my ear with DS but then had perfect amazing skin my entire pregnancy and all while nursing for over a year! And I'm very prone to hormonal breakouts. Haven't broken out yet this time either :/ I do like like crap tho. Skin isn't glowing and my hair is really dull and it's usually super shiny. Other than being exhausted I have zero other symptoms. My husband tried the ring test on me this morning and it didn't move at ALL so there goes that lol. My boobs were huge with DS and after nursing they are pretty pathetic and non existent lol I was hoping they would grow again and they have, they are very sore but nothing like with DS!

Then it ends up looking like a true statement when it's not. There's no scientific basis for it. For example, I've seen many women have girls that carry high and wide. Everyone I knew thought I was having a girl based on how I carried but nope I had DS1. It's all just OWTs so please do not worry yourself over it when you could very well be expecting a girl.

I also carried like a girl and was told I was having a girl. A later scan revealed that wasn't the case! That's why I'm waiting either till 18 weeks or for a blood test. Not having that happen again!!!

That sounds awful. Thankfully it went away after my second trimester and I'm hoping it will this time too. It's finally let up a bit for now. I'm just anxious to get to my first scan and see that everything is normal and healthy. My levels seem to be high as I got a 3+ last week on a digi and should only have read 2-3! I got my bfp super early this time. A very dark obvious positive at 7 dpo!

Littleboybluex3, I can't wait to be able to wear it! But would be a little strange to wear it yet since I'm not showing and nobody knows except my parents and sister...who all live far away from me.

My skin is amazing...which I broke out terribly with my boys so that is new and different. And my hair...I don't need to wash it...ever it seems. Haven't washed it in a week and although a little flatter than it was a week ago from sleeping on it and such...it doesn't look gross or feel yucky. Bit strange. Symptoms are unrelenting nausea that isn't lessening with anything..even gravol and fatigue. Doesn't hurt to nurse my youngest...and I was nursing my ds3 through my pregnancy with ds4 and was in so much pain the whole time but couldn't bring myself to force him to wean. But I hate looking at differences and thinking, oooh maybe just maybe??? Because I'm afraid I'll be more upset to find out we are having a boy. (Another difference...I am convinced 10000000% that we are having a boy...ds3 and ds4 I was sure were girls basically until they were born...even though we found out ds3 was a boy at 18w)

It may just take awhile for your boobs to grow this time. With DS1, mine started growing at 5 weeks and I went up three cup sizes then a couple more after I started nursing. With DS2 they didn't start getting bigger until about 14 weeks but that may have been because I breastfed for the first couple of months of my pregnancy. This time, they're already bigger and so sore. I hate wearing a bra!

My breast Size never changes wish I did swell a bit but mine are tiny and alway have been think they always will be. Never had to change my bras!

My boobs are now HUGE!! I have to wear my sports bras because under wire bras are so uncomfortable and my boobs wont fit in mine!! I will buy maternity bras after my 20 week mark. Mine are also really really really sore

I never have to change bra sizes either. Only thing that seems to get bigger is my ribcage.
