It is totally crazy how the stats are working out on this group. Even if everyone else due in April has a girl now the stats are still very high towards boy. From what I understand the chance is always pretty much 50:50 whether you have a girl or a boy, ever so slightly higher boy. When you have two boys there is a slightly greater chance you will have a girl next as mixed families are more common than single gender families. Atomic may correct me on that but from the research I did that is what I found. So when swaying to try and undo any of the normal boy sways us boy mummies have in our usual routine I would still have thought that there would have been more girls that there are.
I have to say my whole belief in the impact in swaying has been massively shaken by this, I'm not convinced it has any major impact at all. I'm not just talking about my experience as I know I wasn't on the LE diet for very long but I know others did and they still have an opposite.
In fact pretty much everything would indicate I was having a girl this time from old wives tales etc - my earliest BFP by about 7 days, horrible morning sickness, spots and horrible hair, anterior placenta, baby usually on the left, totally different cravings from when I had the boys, loss in appetite... The Chinese gender predictor said girl, everything I did pointed towards girl and still I have another boy on the way?!
The stats truly are unbelievable for this group! I'd love to see what Atomic thinks of it all and if she can shed any light for those of you who are hoping for one more try in the future.
NeedPink - I totally understand how you are feeling, I'm managing to cope ok with my gd but it still hit me much harder than I thought it would. We've told people and generally the comments have been better than I thought but I've still had ones like - "lucky you're not a girly girl' (whatever that was supposed to mean as I think I am) and 'oh no another boy!'. People can be so insensitive!
I'm also clinging to any bit of hope I can that maybe they got it wrong, but I know in my heart of hearts that it was definitely a boy on the scan and it would have to be a miracle if the pictures were misleading in some way. I'm obsessing over wrong gender ultrasound pictures and even hoping maybe there is a twin hiding in there somewhere that is a girl. Totally crazy but we all have to deal with it in our own ways and of course we love our babies regardless, it doesn't mean the hurt of not having a much longed for son or daughter is any less.
I get another scan at 32 weeks so I'm hoping by then I will have accepted it is a boy, I know I couldn't go through another pregnancy again after this. The whole gd thing has totally spoiled it and to have another child wouldn't be fair when all I would really want was a daughter. xxxx
Sorry so many of you are still feeling sick and horrible, really hope it has passed soon so you can enjoy Christmas. My appetite has totally gone and I feel horribly uncomfortable if I have a normal size meal which probably explains why I haven't put much weight on.
Yeah everyone I know due in April and May- so far there are 4 boys and no girls. Still waiting results for myself and 4 others. Seems likes the boys are strong.
When I was pregnant with my DS2- I knew 7 others who were preggo and they all (except one) had girls.
Other than on this thread I know two people due in april and they are both having girls.

I agree as well! With two solid failed girl sways I chose not to sway again. If I'm really carrying my girl I'm going to put money on it that the stress the swaying put on me caused me to have boys or the fact that my husband was out of town the 5 days before my ovulation day?!?!
My sister swayed boy with her first baby last year and got the first girl in the family. Go figure! :shrug: :)
Hey ladies! More boys huh? Geez I really do wonder if there is just something in the air. I am soooo tired today, i want to curl up with a warm fuzzy blanket and sleep all day.
I am getting nervous for my scan on monday, I just hope the baby is healthy!
I just spoke to a friend of mine (due in May) who just found out she's having her third boy. I was telling her about all the boys on here and she said that on another community board (not gender related) there is an overwhelming amount of girls. I guess they are the ones balancing out the population LOL!
Can't wait to see a pic of your gorgeous girl HBP, are you taking the boys with you? x
Needpink, im sorry you didn't get your girl. I just can't work out whats happening in this group. Makes me very nervous to find out next week :worry:
x
Spoke with a couple of friends of mine who are both due in April, and both are having boys - one after two girls and one after five!
Aw wishing I've been wondering when your scan was, all I can say is wiv the overwhelming amount of little boys on this thread we are due some more girls so fx the odds are in your favour surely! You swayed hard so there is no reason why u shouldnt be carrying your dd :) plz keep us updated hun!
The boys are coming and so is my MIL who I'm very close too! Ds1 is very excited to see her, tho he said to his nan 'i hope she hasn't grown a winky' haha think he may hav over heard me saying that :) looking forward to seeing which way up she is as I'm getting movements all over the place so I really have no idea, also hopefully a weight guess! Will be nice to finally relax after this scan xx
Hi everyone, I have been lurking for ages. I did post a few times and I put my nub shot on the ultrasound forum.
Thought I better update. Had a private gender scan on the 13th and it is boy no3. My gut instinct was right and my nub guesses were overwhelmingly boy so I was well prepared. My sway was pretty weak though and I was relying on the fact that'd I been so chilled out this time!
Anyway, Needpink, I remember chatting to you previously on a TTC thread. Sorry you are disappointed.
Sorry to all who have not heard their much wanted colour.
I've pretty much made my peace with it. I know my boys will adore having a brother and although this is definitely our last I only felt that disappointment for a tiny second. I kind of luckily gave all my baby stuff away so I'm still getting to buy lots of cute tiny baby boy stuff :happy:
I really wish I had some type of gender clues for this one so I could be a little bit prepared for my scan next week. I really thought my picture had a nub - but I was 'schooled' otherwise LOL! Ever since my NT scan I have had an overwhelming feeling that this is a girl......but I've heard others on here say they had 'gut' feelings as well. So I don't know if I truly have a instinctual feeling or if it's just strongly hoping I have what I want. In 8 days I will know. I wish I was more patient. Sigh.....
Lochsong- so happy to hear you are so at peace with your new little man! Have fun shopping for him!!!
Despite the fact that I have a bday in April, my second son was born in April, and for some reason now April = boy in my head. I know tons of women in RL who have also had April/May babies, and to be honest, if I sway again, I really think I'm going to try to avoid concieving in the months where a bday may be in April/May only because of the trends I've seen in RL. Of course I know that is all superstitious babble, but I can't help it...I am astounded by how many ppl I know in RL and on this website that are having boys in April/May!
I'm still sticking to the idea of trying to time the next and very last pregnancy around having a winter/early spring baby...i.e. Jan, Feb, or March (preferred month being Feb.) Even my husband said the other nite that he'd want a winter baby for our last one, and I hadn't told him yet of my plans, so it gave me goosebumps that we had the same idea, specifically Feb.
I feel the same as you Jark, i have a gut feeling this one is a boy, and i had a gut feeling that my last was a girl. The next 8 days is going to drag, i have 10 more days to wait :)
I find this really interesting too, my SIL is due 1 week before me and she is expecting a boy, funnily enough i would have thought she would be a girl mum (its her first). And our 3 girls have birthdays in Jan x2 and March :)Quote:

Lol I guess I'm not normal. Ds2 is end of nov and Ds1 is end of December , my nephew is also end of december. So all winter babies.
I'm hoping being that I'm in Aus and it'll be coming into Winter here in May that I have a chance for a pinky!! We didnt sway (we had planned to think about it next year) so no part of my lifestyle had changed so if this is my girl then Im not 100% sold on swaying either. I know a friend who tried swaying hard for over a year to have her girl and still ended up with a beautiful boy, who knows... Good Luck to e/o who is having their scans coming up, here's to healthy beautiful babies x
Fingers crossed there is some truth to that one, I'm due May 23rd, so a winter bub.Quote:

Maybe I need to celebrate Ds's bday in Australia.lol. He is always upset he can't do something outside for it bc it's too cold here
It is so weird to have December reffered to as summer and May as winter!! To me December is a month of bittercold and May is beautiful 60 degree weather....ahhhh
Its really quite good because the kids have their big school holidays when its summer so there is always lots we can do, like go to the beach and theme parks etc, we are always eating outside having bbqs over Xmas too, lots of swims and all the summer fruits become available so we have such good variety for xmas meals, usually mangoes, cherries, watermelon and our family always has prawns, not so much hot meals because it is so hot.
I would probably cry without my Christmas ham! I LOVE my ham and mashed potatoes!
It would be nice to have it warm enough to play outside though. Sometimes it is so cold and snowy we don't get to go everywhere we need to for holidays. It can certainly put a damper on things.
Lol we are in the states (Texas) and here we have our ham and mashed potatoes, but we're usually wearing flip flops and shorts and running the ac. In fact, we had thanksgiving dinner #2 of 3 today, and we're running the ac! It's supposed to be in the high 60s tomorrow and the kids are excited because it will almost feel like fall. I wish we had seasons!Quote:

I am half done with my pregnancy no matter what due date I follow today! Woohoo!
Lassie my 2 boys are 30th November & 1st December (timed it well lol) so maybe there is something in the weather :)
Id love to see a white christmas one day but I do love the bbq weather, it is my favourite time of year :) The only thing Im not looking forward to is the fact that I cant eat any of it this year as it's usually cold prawns, cold ham off the bone, etc etc.. I guess my traditional boxing day lunch of potato salad & l/over ham will need to be warmed up this year ;) Ooooh Xmas!!!! I'll be half way by then (well almost) exciting!!!
oops ive still been eating prawns and cold ham :worry: I actually crave both those things since i couldnt stand red meat at the beginning of this pregnancy, i only just had some lamb 2 nights ago and didnt gag :)
Oh cool, we can be scan date buddies....my scan will be 9 am EST. What time is yours?Quote:

Cinss everyone keeps telling me Id be ok with the Ham off the bone so will see how I feel on the day. I guess if its fresh it'll be fine, I think a lot is over kill but Im a worrier.. I wouldnt worry at the time of eating but Id stress forever afterwards.. I wish I didnt, my life would be so much easier :)
Eeek I go for my scan soon :) very excited! Xx
Good luck hbp!! Can't wait to see some pics :)
I also know of a friend whose wife is due in April with her third boy... So strange! What happened in July??
Good luck to everyone else having scans soon. My anatomy scan is next Friday :)
Good luck HBP - thinking of you! xx
My ds1 was a winter baby (beginning of January) and ds2 was a June baby so I don't even really believe seasons make a difference to gender to be honest!
We have loads of snow forecast for the end of next week so hopefully we will get a lovely snowy Christmas so the boys can enjoy sledging and ds1 can start using the snowboard we have got him for Christmas. =)
Goodluck HB :) stalking :)
Thanks lovely ladies :) will update as soon as possible can't tell u the amount of dreams I had last night about today gulp!
My friend is due her 1st baby boy in April, she was desperate for him as she already has a little girl!
Ds1 is a Jan baby ds2 is a July baby, we have had loads of girls born here since augs so very strange!
Mummy so very jel of the snow we hardly get any here :( xx
Gosh, I spend 24 hours off GD, and it takes me almost a 1/2 hour to catch up on this thread--lol! :)
Can't wait to see pics, hb! I get nervous before every scan...what did mamas do before u/s?? (Probably relaxed and enjoyed their pregnancies. Ha.) As far as "gut feelings" towards gender, I felt very strongly that this was a little boy, but after the NT scan, I now feel that I may have a little girl! But since we couldn't get photos of the nub, I'm worried i imagined what I saw. Then, the labs I received were leaning pink according to Zivic's researc, so that just adds more to obssess over. In any case, I'm now considering just going in for an elective early gender scan in about 2 weeks, just to get the whole thing over with. So much for Team Green! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Wish I was down under so I could be basking in the sun like ya'll Aussies! :)
