snails- I can find out in March. That would be my 16-20 weeks scan.
I've always found out at 12 weeks with all my others. I see a specialist at 12 weeks and they do a good job at guessing what the gender is for me at 12 wks. 95% boy at all my scans and they've been right every time.
I'll b 12 weeks beginning/mid Feb. but I don't think i want to hear any "guesses" that soon. If I'm gonna find out, I want it to be for sure boy or girl so I don't hang onto hope that just maybe they were wrong. So I'll definitely wait til March. I am so scared of hearing boy.

I have to say this pg has begun much differently than all others. For those of you who know its a girl, have you found your girl pg to be different from the boy ones?
Here are my symtoms:
-All symptoms started very early, like 4/5 weeks. In past, nothing began til 6/7.
-Extremely depressed and in such a bad mood all the time.
-no energy at all to do anything, I just don't care about anything. I am usually such an ocd person getting things done, and now I don't even care or have to force myself. I've never felt this way before.
-VERY VERY nauseous!! From the minute I wake til I go to bed. I dont even want to get outta bed. With past pregnancies I was either not nauseous, or would only get nauseous if I skipped meals. This time it doesn't matter if I eat or don't eat, I always feel like crap.
-SOOOOO many food adversions. I don't want to eat anything but fruit and maybe a little plain pasta. To be honest, I have no appetite for anything.
-My boobs are so sore and have already grown a cup size - they have always grown when pg but never this sore.

I just truly have never felt like such junk being pregnant. I almost don't know how I can continue this way. I just want to wake up when its all over.
My mother thinks its a girl cause I feel so terrible -- I am not keeping my hopes up though.
Anyone with a girl feel this terrible?

OMG! Sounds like me lol I was telling DH this morning that I have never, in any pregnancy felt so crappy as I feel now! I'm now 11 weeks and still fell tired, sluggish, nauseous, don't have much appetite (with the boys I was eating like a mad cow!), feel moody (I was so happy with the last one), bloated, I certainly don't have the pregnancy glow at the moment! The nausea comes every single day, 2 or 3 times a day and last for a while, it makes me retch but most of the time nothing happens, I vomited 3 times only, but the nausea is there everyday. This pregnancy is definitely different, but I try not to read too much into it, after all I am 40 and I'm sure all these hormones are much harder on my body now than what they were when I had the boys, even though I was 37 with the last one. But I feel you pain, that's me as well.

so I had to run to the er yesterday because I was bleeding
There is a huge snow storm here now and I didn't want to drive to my hospital.
Turns out everything is fine. Babies hb is good and my hormone levels are good. They don't know why I was bleeding but it has stopped thankfully.
I did however bleed with all 3 my boys, but having a miscarriage once you just never know.
I did find out that my hcg levels are very high for how far along I am. They are in the 7 week range and I am only 6 weeks. I have heard that with a girl your hcg levels are a bit higher, so I am hoping that is a good sign. Wishful thinking I suppose.

What a scare, prayforprincess. I have no idea what I'd do if it were me in that situation - really don't think I'd deal with it very well at all. I'm glad all seems to be ok. FX this is your little girl x

PrayingForPrincess: So glad that everything is ok! That is so scary. I had bleeding (a lot) one morning at about 10 1/5 weeks with my DS1...I thought for sure something was really wrong. That's good about the hormones! Hope that is your lil girl! I can't help ya out about your pregnancy symptoms though

I had to laugh about the bad mood! I was in such a bad mood yesterday... I feel so bad for my boys. I had no tolerance for their loudness, naughtiness, etc! Have had a short fuse. I was quite normal emotional-wise with DS1, but I had a short fuse with DS2, that or I was just less tolerate for BS. So this moody thing isn't helping me lean one way or the other.
Yesterday it felt like my shirt was choking me and my gag reflex was a little sensitive while I brushed my teeth so I thought maybe morning sickness might be starting but apparently not. I think it would have started by now if I was going to get morning sickness.
My appetite has increased a little but not to the point of a starved crazy person like with the boys. But that could still be coming. Have moments of energy and then moments of exhaustion/laziness, headaches and overall not feeling good.
My hair, skin, and nails are terrible like with my boys. Hair is falling out but growing fast everywhere, little more shiny than with boys. Skin breaking out. Nails weak and breaking.
Ready for 1st trimester to be over! A part of me doesn't want to find out what it is. However, I would rather know and prepare myself, than to be surprised at delivery with a boy and be disappointed. So I think I might have the lady write it down in an envelope and open it at home. Of course I still have a really long time to think about it

Hi everyone.
It's been a while since I've posted. Very busy with the holidays & now getting back to normal. Haven't had a chance to read up on all the post though.
Quick update on me- the ultrasound that said I was having boy I showed it to my girlfriend & she showed it to her co- worker who's a tech of 20+ years. She said that my scan is to early to determine sex & it's a bad gender picture. The penis doesn't look like a penis or labia & that it's by the baby's feet. But! That's not even my worry right now. I've been having contractions on & off for about a week. Yesterday evening my lower back was in such pain that I was screaming!! I felt like my back was being broken in half. To top it off I get news from the ob nurse that my lab & ultrasound are abnormal {they are telling me it's downs} now I have to go on Monday to talk to a specialist and figure out our options. OMG
