I KNOW I'm getting my DG because...

[Mum to three girls]

Of course I don't know at all and I can't wait to find out. But of course, like anyone else, I'm finding "signs" where ever I can that this a boy. They include :
1) My lack of morning sickness (so different to with the girls)
2) My normal appetite (was sick yet hungry with the girls)
3) My DD1's comment on the day I found out I was pregnant. She got very stern with me and said "Do you have a baby in your tummy Mummy? Tell me the truth and don't be tricky. I hope not because three is enough. Wouldn't it be funny to have a little brother?"

We hadn't said anything to her but she's always been an intuitive wee thing. I lied and told her there was no baby because I thought that an early pregnancy loss (bearing in mind I had two chemicals before this pregnancy) would confuse/upset her.

4) I've just started antibiotics for a UTI (sorry if TMI) and I never had one with my girl pregnancies.

Anyway, I know none of these hold up under scrutiny (and I've a science background so my rational self doesn't believe them) but they're all adding up to an irrational, unproven belief that I'm cooking a boy baby.

Is anyone else as crazy as me??? What kind of symptoms etc make you sure you're getting your DG?

I can't be as positive as you about what gender it is unfortunately because DD3 was different from the almost identical pregnancies of DD1&2 which had me thinking she was a boy.
I have had some seriously different symptoms this time around that have me hopeful....
Have had the worst morning sickness every afternoon for about 8 weeks now. With all three girls, it was mild between weeks 9-12 and it was earlier in the day.
My appetite is huge at the moment and am obsessed with meat and burgers (big mac's...sigh) and salty foods (soy sauce...drool). I was very hungry with DD3 in first tri too though but I started that pregnancy quite underweight.
My boobs are already at least a size bigger and they rarely change much at all until my milk comes in and then only a size or two up.
I am not as mental (yet) as I normally am and am tending to cry a lot when I get upset whereas I normally get angry and yell. I generally NEVER cry.
It would be a cruel twist of fate for me to hear girl for this bub. I put in so much effort for a little bloke and feel I have suffered so much more this pregnancy. My lovely DH fought me and got his way on all the girls names. This time around I said to him early on all I can think of is this one name for the baby and told him the name (obviously it was a boys name). He looked at me for a moment and said you've tried so hard to have a boy this time and put in so much time and effort, if it's a boy you can call him that. I couldn't believe it!!! No arguing or deliberating.
I hope that's a sign that it's meant to be.

My pregnancy is night and day from my three boys but I still don't want to get my hopes up... I'm so sick never was sick with the boys I barley eat I have no appetite ate like a cow Witt the boys I have aversions never had them before... I have a real lack of fatigue usually when I'm prehpg I would take a nap a day... Not this time...I am a BITCH and I was more of a sob with the boys

Wanting a girl, you and I bring a lot of hope to each other. I was angry and hormonal with all the girls but had more energy. This time I am completely exhausted (fall asleep on couch most days and sleeping 8-9 hours a night and it's usually 7 for me).
Am also crying at the drop of a hat (Seriously, cried yesterday watching Rio with my 3 year old when the bloody bird flew for the first time...????). Also, appetite is 3 fold what the others were (with the exception of DD3 but again, I was underweight and that petered late in first trimester).
Even morning sickness for us is opposites.... it brings me hope but I've been around nearly 40 years and I have learnt to be a sceptic sadly. Do you guys have a date when you will find out the sex?

That was my when I was pg with DS...napping ALL the time, just completely wiped out. When are you due luvalittle?

[Wanting-a-girl]

I think I will find out at 16/17 weeks and that will be the last week of march.. I have my 12 week scan feb 25th!

Fingers crossed for us

Luvalittleman I'm not really positive about this baby being a boy. I'm just an optimist and great at over interpretation! If I don't have a cvs or amnio I'll have to wait until my anatomy scan but in the interim there'll be a 12 week scan to obsess over. Although my ob picked that DD3 was a girl based on her 14 week nub.

I'm not due to see her (my ob) for another month but I wish it was sooner cos I have so few pregnancy symptoms I feel like a fraud. My milk supply is still down which is reassuring.

I am just butting in to say that when I was pregnant with DS2, my 2 year old DD told me (before we had even talked to ANYONE about the baby): "There's a baby in your tummy. It's a boy baby." She was right!

[Mum to three girls]

Re pregnancy symptoms though I should add that I'm very "scatty". I'm yet to go to the shops and actually come back with everything I need, this includes essentials like bread. I'm also buying things then losing them - I have no idea what happened to the spinach from last week or the ice blocks from the week before.

LOL! I took DD to the mall when I was pg with DS...and completely forgot where I parked the car. Like seriously, I looked for 1/2 hour! And I accused the nanny of stealing the eggs, not remembering that DH had made omelettes for dinner before. I was truly ridiculous!
