Anyone actually sway??? I was wondering what the stats were on that.

I agree...curious to know everyone's summer up sway. I haven't been "officially" told boy but my 12+4 potty shot doesn't leave much doubt. My sway was not great as I messed up timing & got my bfp first try...supposed to be a practice. I did the LE diet for 3 weeks, took IG recommended supplements, as did DH. Both of us took hot showers before dtd, and I did lime douche before dtd, five minutes after inserted 5ml lime douche, and wore lime tampon for four hours after. I did not j&d as thought i needed all i could get if hitting o+12. Attempted o+12, but messed up and actually hit O dead on.

Hi Girls,

Sorry I haven't been around in a while. Can't believe the amount of baby boys coming in this group! Thinking of everyone who has had recent scans and struggling with gender disappointment. I think that's the worst part about swaying in a way, if I didn't sway I'd totally expect to have boy no 3 but while swaying gives us hope for our desired gender the fall seems so much bigger IYKWIM.

I had a 16wk appointment yesterday and dr said I am measuring 24 weeks! She was very concerned as fundal size was so big and ordered an urgent ultrasound which I had this morning. All was fine baby measuring exactly right for dates with normal fluid levels etc. so after 24 hrs of stress I now feel much better. Didn't find out the gender as still not ready to deal with it. Will decide if I want to find out at the 20 wk scan in 4 weeks.

motherofboys - no I wouldn't listen to the kids re: names. Kids are fickle and likely to change there minds anyway and I find it hard enough to come up with names that both DH and I agree on let alone anyone else.

Agree with you ruby, if I had never of heard of swaying I would be happy with my 7th boy.... I cried myself to sleep ast night, I can't eat my DH see me feel so bad about it. He knows I am sad but I would hate him to see how sad ;(

She also said the baby would be ginger which is unlikely as my DH is Asian! It better not be ginger, otherwise it's gonna look very suspicious!

Haha! I'm a proud ginger!!! But I'm not asian.

How much would you listen to your kids on names?
I REALLY like the name Seth, I think it fits well with the other boys names and sounds nice when I say it along side his middle and surname.
I asked the boys today if they liked the name after DH said he liked it "and can't think of anything else" (not the enthusiasm I was after) DS1 and DS3 both said they liked it but DS2 said he didn't. He wants to name the baby Sin Cara after a wrestler. I asked if Sin Cara wasn't an option (because its not LOL) if he would like the name and he still said no.
DH says its not DS2s name, he likes his own name so thats all that matters, and we should use it if we want to. But i don't want him to feel I've excluded him or ignored his in put. Everyone who I've mentioned the name to so far has liked it.

I had said before we felt it was very important to include our children in the process of naming the baby, and I'm very glad we did. However, we didn't just have them throw out suggestions. I gave them names to pick between! It worked out well for us, and they all chose the same name (without knowing what the others had picked).

Peb over the last few weeks I asked myself that many times. Did I do something wrong, is there something in me that says I shouldn't have girls. Was I a horrible person in a past life (if they exist) does some higher force know I would be an awful girl Mum? My Mum and Nan didn't have a great relationship and my own relationship with my Mum is even worse, would that pattern continue growing worse if I had a girl?

I have decided its not something I did wrong, but something I did right. I don't have a lot of self confidence and wouldn't usually say I did a good job at anything. But you know what my boys are awesome, they are handsome, strong, healthy, happy and very smart. I did such a great job making them, and such a great job so far raising them, that I just keep being given more boys so I can keep doing a great job.

I'm opposite here, I'm more accepting because I did sway. I know in my heart of hearts I did my best to get my DG so I have no "could have done this or that" regrets I truly feel this baby chose us/was chosen for us
I tried to sway for my 2 children previous to this pregnancy but had not enough and mostly wrong information so had the "what ifs" this sway eliminated those.

I hope things are a bit brighter for you today x
