were you also much more nauseous than with your boys?
Thanks Dreams and PFP :)
But you got overwhelmingly girl guesses so I'd be optimistic if I were you :)Quote:

I did but I can see where the lady is coming from, it does have a certain angle to it!! At this point I am making myself crazy and sick from worry :( I need to just step back and wait until the 25th!!
Prayforprincess - I think you have a very good chance of having a girl! If I got really sick this time I would be feeling a lot better than I do now! I know every pregnancy is different, but I just seem to know so many people that got morning sickness or worse morning sickness with their girls!

I felt sick in my first pregnancy but it didn't last long and because I had my first at 15 (yes! I was a kid myself!) they say teenagers tend to have very bad nausea when they are pregnant, then my second and third, almost none, but this time, it's been the longest for nausea and sickness.Quote:

Mumto3boys- can I ask about your test? Do you think you could have contaminated it with male DNA?
I am nearly 12 weeks and also would love a girl my gender blood test came back as boy, I am praying its wrong. I did the test at 7 weeks from conception. Mine was an at home one with me pricking my finger, dropped the container a few times on the floor and didn't get that much blood. I am hoping my situation is the same as yours but also feel my dreams of a baby girl have been crushed. Got my 12 week on Monday.
I am exactly the same!! Never throwing up - but nauseous as hell! Starting at 5 1/2 weeks. It was all day all night. I was literally walking around like a zombie for 3 weeks straight. Then it got slightly better but not much and it still is there and now I am 12 weeks! I mean even yesterday it began to hit me at noon and lasted all day. I even went to bed at 7pm because I couldn't take it anymore. And I had the worst headache again last night and this morning. I literally have no appetite - not one thing is really appealing to me. I am eating to stay alive but I can say I have not enjoyed one morsel of food in over 6 weeks now.Quote:

And the heavy food I craved, alfredo sauce and pasta, creamy soups, sandwich's; now -- the thought of eating meat or carb's is sickening to me. Even chicken soup. I am living on cottage cheese, yogurts, fruits and salads mostly.
If this isn't a girl - I was even telling my mom - I'll be shocked. My whole being, my entire gut screams GIRL. But my head tells me there is just no way and its going to be another boy.
Gpkm- can't wait for your scan! Mine is Tuesday and I am nervous as hell!
Good luck! And I have heard of those home blood tests being wrong a lot-- so don't give up hope yet.
The only problem is in the uk at my hospital they don't tell you the gender at 20 weeks and 12 weeks no way. Will be booking a gender scan at 14-16 weeks as I am desperate to know.
Pray forprincess- Do you think you will know on Tuesday or just guessing from the nub/skull theory's? Good luck for yours
I'll probably know -- at the very least have a really good guess.
Of course the pics show a lot! There is an ultrasound doc specialist who comes in at my 12 week and really analyzes everything.
My oldest had gastroschesis when he was born I'm I'm technically a "high risk" pregnancy. So they go over everything with a very fine tooth comb at 12 weeks. The doctor has always told me boy at 12 weeks (I've always asked and he's always been right). This time I am going to ask them to write it down for me.
Between what the doc's think and my pics I'm pretty positive that I'll know for 90%. Of course will not believe anything for sure til the potty shot at 18 weeks though.
For once in my life I just pray they think girl....
Look forward to hearing all about your scan.
Hi All, I didn't realize there was a big thread.
I just wanted to add that I have no nausea this time round and with both girls I was very very sick 6 weeks-14 weeks. With this pg, I experience it maybe once a week and it is very mild and not uncomfortable. I find this SO weird! I never ever thought I could have an easy pregnancy, but there it is. I feel like this allows me to lean in the blue direction, but I know I can't be confident.
I'd be leaning pink too, prayforprincess. To have 3 pregnancies with no sicknesses, in a row, and all boy, and now experience MS. I am curious! I hope you have a super obvious nub. Girl nubs can be more ambiguous, meaning, the angle can be really tricky, but it sounds like your doctor is an experienced guesser.
Don't worry! A close friend just had a DD after 2DS with the exact same pregnancy symptoms-which were none! No sickness, or anything. Don't stress! :)Quote:

Welcome Spicy!! Sure hope you are right, this one has been all over the place, with similarities and differences. My boys know now and they keep saying baby sister, they ignore me when i say it could be a brother....hope their intuition is right!!

I have a feeling this might be your girl! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. xQuote:

Am I the only mom wanting blue here? I need all of your dust! I can be your resident girly mom guru.
It was from nimble diagnostics sydney; maybe I contaminated it? I have no idea.Quote:

I did it when I was about 7/8 weeks... I was shocked to hear boy, it sent my head in a spin but my symptoms have been so different this time round I had to get an elective scan to check so I could prepare before my next scan. I really hope your okay, I know how your feeling :(Quote:

Will keep my fingers crossed for the both of us. I have been so sick but I always am till 16 weeks with all 4 pregnancies. Although with boys I was sick earlier in the day whereas with this pregnancy it is late evening after dinner most days. Similar to my daughters pregnancy. I will be hopeful until my 16 week gender scan proves otherwise. We are flying to Perth on Tuesday as need to get our residency visa stamped before October. Just been granted our visa for Australia so hopefully will move there next year.
GPKM, surely you should get an anomaly scan around 16 weeks as standard. They're usually happy to tell you the baby's gender then if baby cooperates.Quote:

I think you have a great chance of it being a girl and wrong! The test doesn't seem legit, but that's just my 2 cents...hope you have another u/s soon!
Congrats! I am so happy for you! Did your heart start pounding like crazy when he said girl? Mine did! It was a crazy amazing feeling!Quote:

Makes you wonder doesn't it!
I would not take those kind of test seriously. I have heard of them and was tempted to try - but did not want to spend the money when I read about so many wrong reviews. Let's face it -- they are right at least 50% of the time.
EVERYONE keeps asking me when I will find out! A few people know I have a scan this week but I am not telling anyone the day. I don't want a million phone calls. When I'm ready to say something I will.
My gf called last night to wish my son a happy birthday and was asking "what day?" - I told her I'm just not saying and I'll call you when I'm ready. She was so pushy..."just tell me what day!". No ---leave me alone! I feel like can't people just respect the time you need for yourself? Part of me truly thinks she wants to hear "its another boy" and she'll be smirking behind the scenes. She's one of those friends where underneath it all they are just never happy for you. I can't explain it.
Double post
My SIL is like that!! I have 3 boys and she has twin boys. She DESPERATELY wanted a girl because she thought our in-laws favor my kids and if she had a girl then they would like her child more. So when I got pg this time, she was just dying to know the gender. She wanted to be there when we cut our gender reveal cake and I told her no because I knew she wanted to be there because she was hoping it was another boy. I told her 3 weeks ago it's a girl and she hasn't said not one word to me since. Pathetic.Quote:

It amazes me how rude people can be! You obviously didn't want to share that information with her! I do know what you mean about 'friends' that will be happier to find out that you didn't get you hoped for than the opposite. I have one of those, and honestly, I told everyone I care about and she only found out second hand! She wasn't pushy, but even before I fell pregnant she gave me this vibe that she found all this swaying thing wrong and secretly wished I was pregnant with a boy just to prove a point! It's your pregnancy, your timing should be respected, tell them to back off! :)Quote:

WTH????? Now that I spent the whole weekend stressed out of my head about that damn antibody they found in my blood the Doctor just called to say that the test he asked to see what antibody it was came back totally negative! Whatever antibody the test detected at first is gone! Now, that's very good news but makes you wonder what the hell happened? He said some testing devices are extremely sensitive and subject to error. So I guess it's all back to good news! Happy to be :pregnant: but oh, the rollercoaster! :)
Aidansmum I wouldn't be worried at all about your results as it was done professionally and not a DIY job at home. Yours will be correct. I wish my hospital would give me an idea about gender today at my 12 week scan but they won't even tell me at my 20 weeks. (silly hospital rules) that's why I have to wait for a private scan at 16 weeks . Will post my scan today and maybe you can all guess.
Can't wait to see!!! :)Quote:
