I would have just said, " Awww, thanks! My squats are really helping shaping up my ass. Thanks for noticing!"

I'm telling you, people are so freaking rude to pregnant women.

Wow TP, just WOW! I didn't realise there were people in this world that were so blatantly rude!!! I mean, I get that people like to say something but her comments and pushiness were WAY over the top! Hope you're ok! And on the fostering a doggy news - huge congrats!!!

How are we all feeling? I'm now 14 weeks, scan is in under a week yay!
I got a fetal doppler today! Have had a lovely cry hearing babas heart beating! It was around 157-165 consistently. I think my boys were around the same around this stage which further reinforces the idea I'm having another boy.

TP hope you are ok, some people are so rude and insensitive. So glad you have fostered a little boy dog, hope he gives you so much happiness.
Hopper this little one had a heart beat almost exactly the same as both my boys and it's a girl so hopefully heartbeat doesn't predict gender for you either. Good luck for your scan.

Hopper, my son was always 140 and this baby boy has yet to drop below 160. Heartbeat definitely isn't an indication of gender.

Thanks ladies [emoji173] Good to know it's not a done deal and I can kinda hold a little hope. Tho I think hope is dangerous and part of me would love to accidentally (on purpose!) find out or get an inkling at our scan next week lol! I'll try remain strong and keep team green. I don't think I can imagine being team pink. It's awful cause I know in my heart deep down I'm content with whatever gender this baby is but it's so hard remember that when your pregnancy hormones make your well controlled, underlying GD rear it's ugly head way more than usual! My friends sister and another friend of mine have had their gender scans and both carrying their boys. They have little girls at home. I am just not able for pigeon pairs and it seems like they are rampant at the minute - yes, possibly cause I'm more sensitive to them but still. Grr, angry at myself now. Don't mind me venting. It's those darn hormones!!!

I'm totally with you on the pigeon pairs! It's so frustrating to watch others get two of the same gender without trying. I hope you do get your little girl in the end, if not, we are all here and understand!

I agree that hope is so dangerous!!
Im really hopeful right now and I wish I didn’t have a slight feeling this baby is a girl.
A friend that has one of each told me about how She did sperm selection for a boy and how great it felt to have her dream gender.
I got really sad about leaving my fourth and last try up to chance and a bit of natural swaying.
But then this is how Im comfortable.

When I had my boys I had lots of friends with boys. Now out of 10 pregnant friends/people I know, 9 are girls...
So they are all thinking Im going to join them, cause theres a “wave” of girls...
Who knows...

Thanks Eighme xx I know you ladies are the only ones who understand! I try to tell myself how unusual it is to be a single gender family but it's not really cutting the cheese these days. My SIL is also due her fourth later this year. She has 3 boys at home and has never hidden the fact she'd love a girl. I would love to see her get her girl - but part of me feels like if she gets a girl then there's not enough to go round for me to get mine - if that even makes zero sense?! And then another part of me would be gutted for her to get another boy cause I'd feel it'd spell the end of my chances of having a girl. I dunno, I think this is a boy and I just need to be ok with that and push all hope out of my head!

I get what you mean. Everyone I knew who was pregnant when I had DS1 had boys. There was like an overflow of them or something! Even now his clothes size can be hard to find in local stores and I know it's cause there are SO many boys his age in our locality. When I had DS2 there was an outpouring of girls. They were EVERYWHERE! And when I had DS3 there were even more baby girls. I joined a local due date group and we did a chart out of curiosity. 73 girls versus 52 boys! I haven't joined anything this time and I'm being quite reclusive about this pregnancy. I don't think I can face the "oh you must be hoping it's finally the girl" remarks! One of my oldest bestest friends (though we have become quite distant in recent years) really hurt me when I told her I was pregnant. She was the only person who remarked anything about gender. She goes "oh you best get used to the idea that nothing pink Will ever grow in your womb" Shes the mother of daughters and has a blatant preference for girls so I shouldn't have been surprised. It just kinda took the wind out of my sails a little.
Anyway, yeah hope is dangerous. I need to try move past hoping and embrace the blue.
