WTF is wrong with me... I'm jealous of Princess Kate now

Doris, I have no idea why you're eating greens and cashew nuts for TTC a girl and I encourage you to follow the link in my signature below to "the Complete Index" and read my essays on "the Calcium Conundrum" because eating a ton of greens, yogurt, and cashews may make it much more likely you will conceive a BOY, not a girl.

Kate is pregant again, she did a le diet in april may june consisting of vegetables, fruits and fish. she is pregnant with s girl, I bet my last penny on that!

I sure hope not. Irrationally, I got a little satisfaction from them having a boy. If they go on to have a girl we'll have to hear over and over again how a boy and a girl is the "perfect family." It would do so much more good if they had another boy.

there is rumors spreading that the couple know the gender already (A girl).

I also think that the increase in marketing over the last several decades has a sinister effect on us. I feel like it benefits certain parties for every family to have a boy and a girl and purchase two sets of wildly dissimilar products for them and to be made like they're missing out on some magical experience. So that has been promoted and normalized and on some level it's entered our collective subconscious.

Now, I do think there is something inborn in some of us that gives us a strong gender desire esp. for our same sex offspring BUT the social pressure and that overwhelming sense of "missing out" or lacking that some of us experience when we can't go into the "wrong colored aisle", I think is a new thing.

I agree with this. Also, the fact that we can find out the sex before birth. In the "old" days you found out at birth and you got what you got and everyone accepted it and moved on. Now everyone wants to know as early as possible and if you don't it "right" you have to deal with the comments for months.

I noticed with my team green baby that there was a lot less pressure. When I announced I said I wasn't finding out so don't bother asking. And no one did. Once he was born it was mostly good comments.

She's under 12 weeks so there's no way they know the sex. They say they broke the news early because of her severe morning sickness but there's speculation they did it to deflect attention from Scotland possibly becoming independent.

It will be a girl for them, several well known fortunetellers told this

They've got 50% chance of being right.
I remember rumours of them having a girl with prince George too, so... Wouldn't put to much weight on it

[maidentomother]

Maybe they did IVF? Considering both the prior generation were boys, maybe Kate wanted to assure herself a daughter?

I wonder if there is pressure on the couple to only have 2 kids?

If she has a girl I will lose my mind!!!
