yes the ramzi theory is very flawed! the only way to know for sure where the placenta has attached is to use colour doppler to establish where the blood flow is and that is not recommended at such early gestation. I wouldn't fret over this theory. My bean was attached in the middle bottom and on IG they went on about how it's much more common for boys to attach to the bottom while girls attach to the top so, yes as you can imagine i was obsessing after that thinking i had no chance of having a girl. This theory is just for fun and not set in stone

Hi everyone......

We arrived at Kirkbymoorside today, lovely place. Boys all in bed and I'm enjoying cheese and crackers

Chocolate - pleased your scan went well
Deaks - pleased you liked your SS GL in 2ww!
Maybe - lol at how much stuff you've got, there is never enough space however big your house is
Sunset - pleased everything is looking good, will you still be induced or can you wait for natural labour now? Are you all ready to bring your little girl home?
Inglewood - wow that's amazing to hear a defo girl..... You must be sooooo pleased to hear it again!!
Charlie - hope you get a good nub shot I'm feeling much the same really, not been sick since last week but still feel sick. I'm managing to eat more variety of foods now which is nice. I'm full of cold though and evenings are still tough going....I feel very tired all day too and not forgetting the awful migraines and insomnia!!...pleased to be nearly half way as my body just doesn't like being pg!!! Apart from that I'm ok...LOL
How are you feeling? Enjoy your scan

Hi to everyone else

Ive not read much about the ramzi theory apart from that link, do you think its not worth asking where bubs has embedded? I would just presume placenta would attach around the same place as bubs so as long as it was not near the middle then I would think it would be obvious left or right from where baby was.

Hmm, maybe I wont ask about this at the scan as dont want to put any belief in it incase it convinced me of a certain gender as Ill prob. stick with what that indicates lol. I usually ovulate on my left but this month is felt like both and at times def. the right so have no idea going on that theory lol.
Not even sure Ill look into the nub, just dont want to get one gender stuck into my head you know, especially as not finding out.

I was also going to say: Charlie I have bought a girly dress already!!! I hope thats a good sign as thats not like me at all! In my head I said its for Niece who is due in March, but I wont even know what Im having so wont give it to her just in case lol. I nearly put it back but Ive hidden it in the chest of drawers just in case I ever need it, then if not I will charity shop it.

Can't wait to guess the nub!

chocolate ~ there's a good thread about it on ingender by Alsestis I think it's definitely worth asking for a bit of fun, but for me it ended up stressing me out more than anything lol. from what i've heard the corpus luteum is usually next to baby, but this isn't always the case so the only true way to confirm this is by using colour doppler to establish the blood flow. You also have take into account the orientation of the scan, and ask the sonographer which side is left and which side is right on your u/s pic. unfortunately however I have been told alot of sonographers are very dismissive of the ramzi theory and not willing to give out this information, a bit perhaps like some get when you mention the nub theory.. if you're curious it's definitely worth asking where the placenta has attached, there's no harm in asking

Babymad ~ glad to hear you're feeling better nearly half way, how exciting! I'm seeing the consultant next week to discuss delivery, but from what I can understand, if my condition doesn't get worse they will most likely let me go into labour naturally. That's what i'm hoping for anyway

i brought a pink and a blue onesie in the sale for ds3 before i knew....it broke my heart but i gave the pink one to a friend when she had a girl.

Tlm - dhs dads family are irish and his step mum is Irish. Fil is the only one out of his siblings not born in cork but they they are a very Irish lot! I have a lovely Irish surname. Luckily the only traditional thing for them is big family dos and drinking way to much!

Babymad - glad your feeling better!

Charlie- Zara do lovely boys things too! I have lots of girlie things which I am going to eBay. If I do ivf ever then I would buy it again.

I so want to declutter and move! I think mainly right now as it would stop all thoughs of ivf hee hee! I would have six kids if I had a nanny! Four boys and two girls I think, and be 15 years younger to have the energy to cope!
