I know I will be fine with another boy as well but it would be givin up the dream of having a daughter and I think finding out its a boy at birth will sting a bit so I think it's best to find out during pregnancy just so I can get excited for him....

Ugh I have been feeling so sick lately, I have now lost 5 lbs so I've lost the little I gained in the first 5 weeks! I can't move, the thought of food makes me want to vomit. The only thing I can stomach is ice water and ice-cream. I've never suffered from morning sickness, so this is all new I'm not really throwing up much, just super nauseated! I'm bummed that I am feeling sick today because it is Valentines day, and for the last 8 years I have made my husband chicken cordon bleu with mornay sauce on a rice pilaf and steamed veggies with a white chocolate cake topped with whipped cream and fresh raspberry sauce for dinner, and I just know I wont be able to do that today my house is a complete wreck because I haven't been able to tend to my daily chores either, wow this is gonna be a lame Valentines Day! I am afraid to take any morning sickness meds so I am just gonna have to push through this.

Sorry you aren't feeling well but if I remember right you did want MS right? I have had it really bad with all my PG. Somethings that might give you relief are fresh lemon juice in your water (this really helps), vinegar based foods (like olives and pickles, I even drink the pickle juice and feel fantastic), ginger root in a capsule (get this from a real deal heath food store and make sure it is only the root and not the extract), an all protein breakfast (right now I am having scrambled eggs with ham and cheese). These are just some tricks that have really worked for me over the years. I have found the less I eat the better I feel so I try to just have small high protein snacks all day long. Hope this is a good sign for you that it might be a girl!! Also, B6 and magnesium have given some people relief. I also read somewhere that if you are deficient in a particular vitamin that you will have MS with a girl but not sure if that is true.

Thanks for the tips. I did want morning sickness, and although it isn't fun, it does make me more hopeful that this might be a pinky!

[Mum to three girls]

OMG I could have written this myself, I feel the exact same way.... I feel deep down it might be a girl but I keep trying to shut that feeling down because I don't want to get hurt. With ALL 3 of my boys (especially DS3) I knew it was a boy and didn't even allow myself to entertain the thought of a girl. This time I feel like it might just be a girl but then I quickly dismiss that thought to protect myself. I NEVER got ms with my boys and now I have it pretty bad. My cravings and aversions are out of control and have been since day 1, with my boys I had a few cravings later on in pregnancy but they were always pot roast and potatoes (I do not eat red meat normally) with this pregnancy I first craved root beer, now I cant stand the thought of it, then boiled eggs, now they sound gross, then my craving went to salads and veggies, now I don't care much for them. Right now, if I can eat at all, I want oranges, fresh pineapple, or grapefruit. Ugh I can't keep up with these cravings, I'll eat them and only them for like a week then I wont be able to stomach them again. So far this pregnancy is developing much much differently than my other 3 which were the exact same. If I am being totally honest with myself, I think this is a girl, it is just too hard to admit it to anyone! So when the subject comes up, I know I will tell everyone that I think its a boy!

Oh and I am super grumpy too, I wasn't weepy or emotional at all with my boys, but with this pregnancy I have a very short fuse... my poor boys!

I had moderate morning sickness with the girls and I've had nothing with this one. Not even smell sensitivity. I seriously don't even feel pregnant. I'm also hopeful that this means a boy baby!

So my morning sickness lifted last night and now today, I feel like I'm eating everything in sight just to make up for the last week! I don't know when or if it will come back again so I'm livin it up now! Chinese food last night for valentines day and two big cheesy bean burritos for lunch, not to mention all the candy I've been munching on!!

That is usually how it goes. You will feel good/better for a day or two then feel really crappy for a couple of days. I have always thought it might be your body adjusting to the new levels of hormones. Hope you continue to feel better!
