I have a question, do your little girls move less than the boys? I am 20 weeks now and even though I feel a few flutters and stirring, my boys were more active in the tummy, or is it still too soon to feel the real knee/elbow push? I can't remember. It just worries me sometimes cause she seems to be so quiet! I use a doppler everyday to hear her heartbeat, so I know she must be fine, but it worries me not having a little contortionist in there like my last boy was (the other 2 I can't remember much, too long ago).

I don't really feel anything but then again last time my placenta was in the front and not sure if it moved at all for me to be able to feel him/her

It's a good thing you guys decided to go HT next time. I would have if I'd had the money, but we decided it would be too costly. But it is a huge relief to have that certainty that next time you are guaranteed a little girl. I'm glad I heard pink or I would be kicking myself for not going HT as this is definitely my last one, no other chances.

Don't say guaranteed. With HT there is NO guarantee. Look at me!
Yes, If you have "normal" xx embryos and if they implant and if you give birth and don't miscarry - then yes, you'll have a girl.
But there is a loooooooong if-y road before that happens. I tell everyone, and in both my experience and many many others - if you can't afford to do ht at least 2x - then I would not recommend it at all. The 1st one is always nearly a trial with you to begin with. Your doctor is not going to know how you will respond to the stims and therefore be very conservative. Many and most do not have success with try #1.
I thought because I was young and could get pg so easily on my own that going ht would be a for sure thing. There was no way I ever imagined it wouldn't work and I could possibly have a boy - after ds3 I knew my 4th would be a girl because I was going ht. But as you can see that just was not so.
Just because you are healthy and get pg on your own, does not mean you will have good embryos going ht.
It really a hard hard road - I can't even begin to explain. And I would talk to someone who's walked down it and really really know what you are walking into before beginning that journey because it can be utterly heartbreaking.

I'm done done. This pregnancy I have felt so miserable and sick and depressed - I told my dh, boy or girl we are done. I don't wanna be pregnant again.
I will just have to cherish babyness for the last time this time!
Unless we have an oops -- I am done with 4!

Aidansmum I really do think it is more about each child than gender. All 4 of my other kids were MUCH more active earlier on than this one. I am just barely feeling baby now(I'm just about 20 weeks) & yesterday was the first real good kick that DH would've been able to feel if he was home. I know that this child tends to stay very balled up & has always seemed to move away when I try to hear heartbeat. DH & I were just talking about all of this yesterday & I told him I think we might finally have a calm easy baby I'm sure your little princess is probably the same & just really calm & mellow. I guess we should hope that these LO's stay that way & don't become wild & crazy nonsleepers once they are born! LOL!!

Don't say that -- you have such a good chance of hearing pink!!!
Clearly we never know til the u/s - but didn't the doc even tell you it looked girl at 13 wks?

[GreaseMonkey]

He said he didn't think it was a boy but look at my picture!! The 2 line nub at the end is starting to point up doesn't it?
