Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

[Praying4Pink]

I've just had a thought. Tell her she has to go pee on some cabbage for the red cabbage test. There is a 50 50 chance it will say boy as it has no science behind it and in my opinion the most useless of the old wive tales. Then you can keep mentioning that she must be having a boy whenever she mentions your ring test result. A bit harsh perhaps

3boys...I love it, lol. Yeah I didn't say anything to her at work today. I don't think I mentioned that we work together. But I'm kind of over it now. I think I felt that she was saying it because she felt she had more of a chance for a girl than me. Yes I'm doing ok 3boys. I have just been so tired and queasy. Plus I'm in school so I haven't been around much but I have been following you ladies. How have you been dear?

Morning ladies - Ive woken up this morning with full blown man flu - can barely move, ache, snotty, sore throat, headache - anyone got any ideas on whats safe to take this early on in pregnancy ?

. I just hate that she keeps dashing my hopes and I really don't have much to begin with Should I say anything or just forget it happened?

I have only told my family yet and they all have already written off any chance of me having a girl and my SIL has even said

"I know I shouldn't say this but it would be really lovely if you have a boy but you probably won't though"

This same SIL is currently 36 weeks pregnant, doesn't know what she is having but is convinced that it is a boy, even to the point of saying that if a girl comes out she won't believe that it is hers, And I think that there is a really good chance that she will have a girl. She got pregnant 6 weeks after a miscarriage at 10 weeks, She is over weight and went on a strict diet after the miscarriage and lost 10lb, and was on the diet until she was 6 weeks pregnant (when she found out). Her and her DH both guzzle the diet coke like it is going out of fashion, she doesn't eat any dairy or dairy substitutes. But in spite of all this she will probably still get the son she dreams of.

And by the way the ring test told me that DD was a boy. In fact all the old wives tales of pregnancy told me that DD was a boy.

And in regards to the heartburn my DD was born with loads of jet black hair, about 4 inches long. She is a blondie now though, and I had the heartburn for 1/2 the pregnancy with her. I carried a bottle of gaviscon advanced around with me the whole time.

Well ladies, I'm having to cancel my early gender scan. DH's company (he works in welding) is so busy & has put him on 12 hours days for a few weeks so he can't have the day off anymore. So we are just going to wait until the 18 week scan on Jan 3rd! I'm a touch disappointed but with such a huge difference in accuracy rates it may be for the best. So now I'm counting down till January 3rd hehe! It's still not that far away. I will be 18+3!

So sorry you had to cancel your scan. Well actually at 18weeks they'll definately be more accurate

Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad Mum23boys.
I know that paracetamol is safe then maybe have some warm water with lemon juice, ginger and honey for a comforting drink. Hope you feel better soon

[3boys]

Praying, I'm good thanks Hun. My MS has got so much better since I've been on the anti nausea tablets. I have my NT scan in a weeks time which I am very excited about, just praying that babe is ok.

Mom23 sorry to hear you are ill. Hope you feel better soon.

Pearl one of my best friends who had one girl already fell pregnant and was convinced she was having a little boy. She drank diet coke what seemed like all day and lost weight near to conceiving and she was slimming for her wedding. She had a boy!!! Go figure!! It's not fair how some people just manage a pigeon pair so easily. She keeps saying to me, you should totally have a girl next! I mean yeah right as if I can choose (why have I not thought of this sooner).

Afm I've got the cold from hell and feeling very sorry for myself. I have so much housework and no motivation to get off my bum and do it.

Mum! Tylenol if you have a fever, I had hand foot and mouth disease super early this preg and my doc stressed that I make sure I keep a fever down! So sorry your so sick!! I hope it passes quick!

Ya exactly! That's the way I'm looking at it I was sad at first but now I'm not. DH thinks its better to wait anyway lol good thing December is a busy month! How have you been feeling dreaming?

[3boys]

Yeah that's my thoughts too CVD. We are finding out in January and I keep thinking at least December will go really quick. If you've got to wait a month, it's the best month for distraction.
