Uk ladies

Has anyone been on anything like one born every minute?
There was a lady on tonight's that had 4 boys then had a girl.
Can't help but wonder when I see people like that if it was just luck or if they are on sites like this ha ha ha

The show airs in the US too. I haven't seen it in awhile but I loved it when it was on.

i saw it,lol.x

:DS::DS:

Dh was proper annoyed by the ladies mum spouting the old "sons take a wife a daughters for life" I think it was the first time he'd ever heard it but it's the opposite in both our families. But then he was nudging me going "5th time lucky" up till now he had always been adamant that he can not make girls. But recently our sons judo instructor told him that he had 4 girls before a son (he then had 4 sons) so I think he is slowly starting to think it's possible rather than just humouring me and preparing to help me through my disappointment. Having said that, I still expect to be in the 5 boys camp lol

I missed that bit haha could be :)
What do you make of Kerry katana having another girl? Am thinking her lifestyle and past drug abuse could be responsible? Xx

I'm not sure, I don't follow much celeb stuff, but I was sure I saw a tv ad for one of those celeb mags saying she was having a boy then saw something about her having had a boy. I wasn't sure what gender her others were just that she def had at least 2 girls.
It could well be her lifestyle, especially as they are by 2/3 different dads (didn't she had 2 with the bloke from west life, then another 1 or 2 with someone else and now this one is a different guy?) not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'd think it was down to her rather than the guy if she is getting girl after girl.

I just had a little google and she's got 3 girls, a boy then another girl. I must have not been paying enough attention to the ads lol

I found it so refreshing for a mum to be expressing her GD on national TV although I cringed a couple times... imagine if her boys ever hear some of the things she said!! She pretty much said how she was actually feeling and didn't sugarcoat although I think she got lots of backlash for it from the comments I read on the teaser video OBEM posted on their FB page.

So true though...I did think "hmmm she been on genderdreaming?" lol

I did think imagine if her boys ever saw it. And I've seen lots of negative stuff. Lots of people saying she should be grateful to have a healthy baby.

Yep it's sad in a way that a mum cannot dare say she desires a certain gender but at the same time she should be grateful for what she does have! Such a grey area!

Swear I cry every for single birth though.... that show makes me so broody!!

Ah it makes me broody too!!
Yeh I agree I think it's down to Kerry that she has those girls due to her health.

I think if I didn't have any dg then my family make up would be different and I am happy with what I have. Just not happy with what I don't lol xx

I think some of it may have been taken out of context too, we know how those shows can be edited to look a certain way. I must have missed it but apparently she said she'd leave her husband if it had been another boy, well I'm sure that was a joke but people said she was a horrible person for it. My friends expecting her 2nd and doesn't know what she's having and her dh has said if it's another girl he is leaving her on the table where she has her c section. But it's a joke.
Yeah makes me broody too. My youngest is only 5 months but it's the memories and those tiny new born cuddles that do it isn't it.

I saw this too & wanted to slap the grandmother for that hateful line about a son until he takes a wife. My Nan was sure to tell me that one when ds1 & 2 were really little. :(

I so want to do it all again at least once if not twice! Ds3 was my first natural birth & it was amazing! Ds2 has put his order in for 2 sisters next - my dream too! Watching OBEM makes me feel so proud to have managed a natural birth & makes me sooo broody too!

The look when your eyes meet your little ones for the first time is amazing. My second birth was a water birth with no pain relief and it was incredible :) would do it again in a heartbeat (especially for a girl lol!) xxx

Sounds amazing Mulberry! I always dreamed of a water birth but I went & developed severe pre-eclampsia at 30 weeks with ds1.

I could not watch OBEM before getting pg with ds3 as it just re-inforced my feelings of failure of having 2 c-sections. Daft I know because 100 years ago my hubby would be a widower as I was so ill, EMCS was the only cure! I'm just so pleased that I know I can do it now & want a home-birth next time. :)

My last 3 were home births with number 4 being unassisted (not intentionally, the stupid cow on the phone said that I sounded too calm to be that close to birth and didn't hurry herself in contacting the midwife to come out to me)
I'd do it over and over it's so amazing.
I have a ring with all 4 boys names and birth stones on, and ds2 (6yrs) told his dad "I don't think you thought it through properly, getting our names on a ring, where are you going to put the girls?" When he asked what girls ds2 said "the 2 sisters that I'm having" and one day getting into the car ds1 (8) asked "when we have a girl where will she sit? Can I sit on the roof??!!!"
I hate the sons a son line, it's always proved opposite in my family as well as dhs. He sat there going "she only has daughters how can she possibly know anything about grown up sons?"

Also I must say that I think gender desire is making me project my feelings into everyone else. I know a lady with 2 boys who expressed 4 years ago when her niece was born that she'd have liked another baby, a girl, but it wasn't to be. Then 2 years ago she was dieting like crazy (not the reasonless diets we consider but really going to extremes) and running every day and then fell pregnant and got a girl.
Ds1 also has a friend who has 1 older brother then a little sister with a big age gap and the baby girls name is Faith. I know it could be because the liked the name or that it took a long time for them to get pregnant the 3rd time (there's around 7 years between the youngest boy and the baby girl) but I can't help thinking it's to do with holding out for a girl and keeping the 'faith' that they would get one.

Really interesting! I hope your boys get their sister(s)! Xx

Omg, its on, it's on!

Is it only me or has anyone noticed that most babies born tonight were girls!?

I was just thinking it was girls night on there lol

Ugh I know it's a different subject but how annoying are non-believers. I use another site that has a gender disappointment section which is where I heard about this place. Anyway I was answering a question and recommending GD and someone else replies saying how she doesn't think it has anything to do with dieting to make your body think that times are harder and produce a girl as she has a girl and is sure she has another on the way and that she never did anything like that. And that it's all timing! Annoyed me.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand some of the confusion but it's really daunting to me because it's just SUCH a huge job explaining it!! :p

I understand people bring skeptical, I think we all are to begin with but to say it can't be true at all because 1 people got 1 opposite just winds me up. It does with any subject lol when someone won't listen to both sides and just closes their mind.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know what you mean!!! I hate hate hate when people say to me well you've got a 75% chance of having another boy as it goes up everytime you have the same sex!!! Um and the science behind that Einstein is......this of course came from the lady who has got BGG her desired genders and has never even heard of diet for swaying but knows all about timing and really how that's how I should have done that to get a DD as it's a scientifically proven method! (Obviously the same science behind the 75% then!!) lol! Sometimes you just can't explain as it's too hard to argue with ignorance! Would LOVE to be able to see everything about these ladies lives, diet, exercise, times BD etc just so we could point out how some of those things combined resulted in their DG not timing! Lol! *and getting off my soapbox! Lol

I didn't reply to her any more in the end.
The way I see it is whether swaying works or everyone who got their DG were just lucky, after 4 of the same gender, what can it hurt to try a little diet change and exercise?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely agree! The way I feel is that if I have a third son he's meant to be here but I can say I tried and gave it my all! Do you have a month of when you starting to TTC?

No I don't yet. I'm still awaiting the return of af. My youngest son is 6 months and was exclusively breastfeeding until about a month ago. We are now doing formula in the day and breast at night, so I'm hoping to see a return sooner rather than later.
Dh won't commit to a date until we can move either. Which will happen when it happens. I'm looking but nothing's come up yet. So kind of waiting on things out of my control.
BUT Dh isn't being overly careful to prevent a pregnancy either. I think he is hoping it will just happen and all be perfect and magically a girl lol so I think in going to make some changes just in case.
I saw something on Facebook just this evening that fits my diet perfectly. It said "the most accurate description for my diet is 'unchaperoned child at a party' "
So I will be cutting my grazing out and focusing on just eating meals, with lower fat versions and less meat. I don't eat breakfast any more anyway. Just dont have time. And starting my exercise. Going to make sure I take in enough calories to maintain my weight. I can't afford to lose much anyway. Then when things are officially I'll bring some other factors in and cut some more calories. I want to keep it quite simple though.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And yes at least you know it's meant to be. I don't want to wonder what if I had done this or that. Mind you now I know the things I do regarding swaying, I don't think I could just TTC the same as I did before. Those things are in my head now and even if it was subconscious I'm sure I'd find myself changing things.

Your in a similar situation as me! My youngest ds is only just 1. My DH was so against trying again after he was born and so I really thought that was it and we were done, but then I found this amazing website and we've started discussing it again. We were out sat night and he was drinking and I wasn't as was driving and we ended up discussing it and it was good as he was very open to me telling him everything I've found out on this website. He's admitted that he reckons he'll cave and well try again, but same as you were looking to move but need to finish renovating house first so on everyone else's time scale now!! But good to know he's open to it more now though! He's just sooo not impressed with the tighty whities! Lol!

And yes DH is the same not being careful!! Just thinking that a girl might magically appear! Lol! I have started making changes too but like you I can't afford to lose too much weight so when I do sway I want to do exercise hard would worry if I fell pregnant now as still living a bit too much of a boy friendly life! Lol I need to step away from the Easter eggs!!!.....lol

Ha ha yes the Easter eggs have been a down fall!
I hate this waiting and not knowing, can't even count down to it lol
Dh really thought it couldn't happen but people like our eldest twos judo instructor said he had 4 girls before he got his boy (he then had 4 boys!)

Hi sweet mummy! Well I think I'm going to do lots of cardio exercise in wii fit as I'll never get the time to actually go out running. Lucky though as DH loves his exercise so he knows a lot about what's just cardio etc so am planning on getting him to point me in the right direction of what's cardio and what's not as I don't gave a clue! Defo need to go down the exercise route though as right now I do nothing!! Have a high metabolism so have never really had to but excited to get started but that's the planner in me rearing it's head so am using that planning to organise renovation and move so once were in new house my plan is to relax and not plan (see how I've even made a plan to relax! Lol Mmmm lol!)
OMG why gave they stopped OBEM it's actually given me the hump! :( lol I love that! I like to watch all the baby programmes on really! Gives me my daily baby fix lol! I also watch bridezillas as I just love trashy tv too much! Lol!
Uk and what has happened to our lovely weather today!?! This rain is do miserable! Yesterday was gorgeous! Are you guys on Facebook? X

I am on Facebook, and yes it's so horrible here today. I'm so annoyed had lots of washing to do but run out of detergent so none done yesterday and today when I have some it rains so the airers will have to come back out!
I will mainly be doing power walking with the pram as I checked with atomic and it's fine for a pink sway.
I may also look for some cardio videos on YouTube as apparently they have them on there and so can do some if I can get the chance. I also do nothing with a high metabolism though I used to dance so I do feel very unfit now but have just fell into the slump where I haven't done any for 10 years!! I started a keep for class when ttc ds4 and gave up. Didn't know exercise could make a difference. But if I did I wouldn't have him now and I wouldn't swap him so guess it's a good thing in the end

Hi UK ladies, following your thread here. I'm from Ireland so fairly close by ;) OBEM always reminds me of being almost due :tissue: Both my boys were born in February when it usually starts back and I spend the post partum weeks hormonally crying every Monday night at all the lovely babies!

On the topic you were talking about of people being non believers, that was what really caught my attention. My "best friend" is one of those people, not that she's really even a friend any more since we had kids. We were pg at the same time on our first, I was due 4 months before her and had my DS1. When she came into visit me in the hospital she asked me if I was disappointed?!!! I didn't have a preference either way so what would have made her even ask that! When I said no she said she only wanted to have a DD and if they handed her a DS they could take him back!! It really made me sick, especially when 4 months later (after a horrendous 46 hour labour - can't say I wasn't a small bit pleased!) she had her girl! A few days after she was born I was visiting her and the DDs cord stump fell off and got thrown in the bin. I asked why she wasn't keeping it in a memory box as I had kept my DSs one. She said "Well it might be sentimental for ME to keep it but not YOU. You have a boy, what good is that for him!" Well excuse me, is it impossible to think hes that much of a caveman that he wouldn't be moved by the sentiment when he's older and has kids of his own!!! We left shortly after that. She is now pg on her second and its a boy. Poor thing, nuff said!
I spoke to her shortly before we conceived DS2 and she asked if we were hoping for pink this time, when I said I didn't mind either way but that I had read some things online that could sway the odds, I didn't pay them too much attention though as I wasn't quite as pink obsessed as I have become now that DH is saying we're done. She said I was "nuts" if I believed any of that "trash". She's just one of the many, but possibly one of the worst, I have had to listen to. Makes me properly sick that she has a daughter, not that I'd trade either of my boys for a girl but just cause she is so dismissive of everything that having a son gives you!
Phew, rant over!! Anyone else have to deal with such ignorance?

I have 2 friends from school who I thought of as best friends. 1 I now barely see. She was like that. I found out first time round that we were having a boy. I was excited, although I didn't mind too much I did have a preference for boys first. She asked if I was disappointed! She said she only wanted a girl. She got a boy first, she then got a girl 4 years later, by which time I'd had 2 more boys, and my other bestie had had her first girl. The one with one of each said " you are the only one with out a girl now" laughing about it. After ds4 arrived she came to visit and said "you shouldn't have any more, he likes being the baby" as if it's her business. She then repeated that I don't have a girl.

And by the way, I've kept all 4 boys clips and the older ones love looking through their memory boxes.
