Christi- Ramzi theory states that in a VERY high number of test cases boys had the placenta/villi on the right and females were to the left. In my case it held true. BUT in order to make the appropriate guess you have to know if your images were true, mirror images, or rotated some other way. It has had a high success rate but not 100 so you can't just go yep thats what it is! For my son it was definitely true. I know my scans were true shots and he was firmly on the right (I was also a right sided sleeper then!) Which is why you may see girly suggestions of sleeping on your left!

As for staying team green, OH HELL NO my head would explode. I am a planner and I cannot plan and have a name 100 picked out without knowing. I envy the people that can wait for the delivery room surprise because for me its just agonizing waiting like someone dangling a christmas present over your head and not telling you whats in it. Thats why I had a private scan set for Dec 21 Which is EXACT 15 weeks for me. In the meantime I will have fun playing with theories like Ramzi and possibly baking soda. We did that one for fun last time and it was right too.

When can u use baking soda ?
I did it this week and it foamed up lol

[kaseybaby]

Baking soda test was right for me both times! Same with the pulse test.

Oooh whats the baking soda test? I remember doing the red cabbage test last time

"That’s right, baking soda. What you do is put a little bit of baking soda in the bottom of a disposable cup and then add a little bit of your urine to it. If it fizzles like a soda pop, it may be a boy. If there’s no fizzle, it may be a girl. This method was used by several members as a way to test the accuracy of their gender ultrasounds and out of 31 baking soda tests, 22 were right and 9 were wrong." - From babycenter

Joining you ladies! I got my BFP on Sunday. Due July 13th. My first appointment isn't until November 25 so I'm patiently waiting at 4w4d pregnant. No real symptoms just some bloat and peeing more often - not even super exhausted yet. Boobs a tiny bit sensitive but nothing crazy. With DS at this point I was really tired and had super sore boobs so I'm hoping feeling different means girl. I really really would love a girl!

Kasey! Glad to hear your scan went well!

Business...I get freaked out too when I don't have any symptoms. They really seem to come and go. Today I am wiped out from a crazy week so I feel lousy, but I usually feel symptom free in the mornings.

Although last night and this morning I was STARVING! I don't remember ever feeling much except perpetually nauseous with my girls. The hunger catches me off guard because most of the time I can't tell if I am hungry or nauseous but this was definitely ravenous HUNGER!!

I couldn't get into see my OB until the beginning of Dec because of my final exams, her schedule, etc BUT they did want me to have a scan between 8-10 weeks so I was able to book a scan for my lunch break next Wed. I am so anxious to see a healthy baby.
Last time got preggers I had a scan in 2012 they found a sac, but nothing growing in it. Super scared to have the same experience.

Anyone else popping out a bit? I had a little extra flab to begin with on my belly from the HE but I can't seem to make my belly blend in today. Could just be the shirt I am wearing but my jeans are more snug than usual across my belly. I am assuming that because this is DC4 the belly will appear that much sooner than before. I am REALLY trying to hide this pregnancy until after Christmas for a long list of reasons. I am worried that is going to be harder than it sounds!

Yeah the stomach muscles let go a bit earlier each time you have another. My cousins 4th she stuck out so far you could have blew on her and she would have fallen over. Im only on my second pregnancy and even I noticed how fast everything loosened up this time. But a lot of that is just "sagging" muscle getting ready for the big stretch. If I just stand there not thinking about it you could probably guess I was pregnant or ate way too much for dinner in one shot. But I can suck it in and nothing going on because its all just loosened tummy muscle. Invest in a nice comfy baggy sweatshirt with the pocket in the front and stick your hands in. They are usually long enough to hide the rubber band holding your jeans shut or if you use a belly band. No one will ever know!
