PrimalMamma have u tried the ring test?
I so believe in it , try it just for fun !

And the rest try it and let us know !

[PrimalMamma]

LOL business woman! I've done the ring test so many times & every time I look up the ring test online I find some websites that say circles mean girls & others that say swinging means girls & vice versa for boys. For me the ring starts in a swing but then settles into circles... so backs up my "hermaphrodite" theory haha. The baking soda test said girl, Ramzi was girl (I had a scan at 6 weeks). Craving-wise early on I had "girl" cravings but now I have "boy" cravings. I don't put a lot (any!) faith in old wives tales or symptom-based theories.

So even the ring test is confusing !
I believe circles for girl and swinging for boys
I did it on my hand and it says girl then boy
I had a girl already and this baby is supposed to be a boy
I will wait untill Im 12 weeks to do it on my belly

Thanks for the support ladies It's really nice to be a place of acceptance. My mom and I have found some great neutral clothes lately, which makes me really excited for him/her to get to wear them. I keep thinking of what it will be like having a newborn and realize that its really happening. Lol. I am 26w today and my others were all born before 38 weeks. So....I have about 12 weeks or so left. Which seems sooooo short!! When I think that it's likely ill have a late-Feb baby...that is like two months away. I guess time is moving right along.

I am a little sad that DH is really sticking with this being the last. And I just don't feel that right now. I can't imagine this being it. But I'll think about that another time. Hopefully i can convince him we make really pretty babies and need more of them

Only another two weeks or so for you Primal. You can totally do it. Honestly, for me, with my babies, that wait to get to the scan is the worst. I can handle the "disappointment" afterward, but I hated waiting for the scan. With both of them I just wanted to start bonding, either way it went (and, of course, you are aware that one of those times was a time I had GD and one I got my DG). This time was nice because that pressure was not there. Although I AM getting outside pressure for this baby. Which is irritating. I can be on cloud nine imagining either and then someone opens their big mouth about it!

Just a random question...are you guys buying anything for baby for Christmas? I got a cute little hooded towel and will wrap it up for him/her. It's a fox and it's orange and so soft. Obviously being the fourth, we don't need much, but I like to buy a few new things.

Article in one of the local family magazines from our town! No name supplied but wow!

[PrimalMamma]

What a good article Sweet! And yeah I can relate. Every time I was seen out with my sons when DS2 was newborn someone invariably said "He's sweet... But I bet you would have loved a girl!" Astonishing. What is more astonishing is that you know that if I had said "Yes actually I wanted a girl & he was a real disappointment" the same idiot would have been horrified.

[Sweet mummy]

Exactly! Refreshing to read something like this that wasn't put there because of some backlash from somewhere else. Plain and simple the mum was happy with her two boys and somebody though that was humanly impossible! I think this is the root of why some people develop gender disappointment - almost a sense of not wanting to let others down (even complete strangers!) xxx

[PrimalMamma]

So I woke up with spotting this morning. Nothing major but went to the GP & she inmediately referred me for a scan. Everything is fine with baby... And he is a boy! I'm not upset at all, just relieved to finally know & that he is healthy. He is breech so has probably been kicking my cervix which could have caused the bleeding. My poor husband is devistated about the gender, but relieved he is healthy.
