signs of a son

mamaA4

I have 3 beautiful gurls already and we are praying for a son. Is their anyway I can tell early?

If you really want to know early, you can spring for one of the new blood tests around 10 weeks (Google: MaterniT-21 Plus).  If you're 35 or older, your insurance may cover it, otherwise I think it costs around $2000 out of pocket. 

If that's not for you, then you can play all the old wives' tales games and be surprised at the a/s.

Are you craving live forest animals? That means boy.

Hi! I had 2 girls and then a boy and for me the pregnancies weren't different. I thought surely #3 was another girl because everything seemed the same. Good luck with getting your boy!

Well FFS? lol.. she should know after 3 "gurls" there is no way to tell the gender of your child earlier than an ultrasound will tell her. Either she has no gurls, or that was just the silliest question ever.

*edited to add, or a test that you might get for certain reasons by your doctor earlier, which she would probably know also.

Yeah, I'm calling BS on this one. Do people really think they can find out gender without medical testing or waiting till delivery?!

Not ones on their 4th kid. Unless she lived in a cave.

I read craving sour and salty can be a clue of boy, but I always crave those, it's just becoming more heightened. Time flies by so quickly, we'll know the sex "soon" whether we end up doing the expensive early blood test or wait for the US.
Oh and snarks/haters, please stop it. This isn't high school.

This website has several supposed old wives tales. As a warning, they cannot change your baby's sex, so if its a girl its going to stay a girl.

I thought some of the responses were pretty fun, actually

No, but it is an Internet message board. If you're going to get upset by these comments maybe this isn't the site for you. These were quite tame for such a ludicrous question, and like PP said, most of them just funny.

You can "guess" by cravings, Chinese calendar and all the old wives tales but like aPP said, there is a blood test tthat you can pay for or wait for your ultrasound. That's all.

I had two boys and a girl. I could have sworn my second was a girl and he wasn't. I figured the third was a boy. You just never really know!

You have convinced me. I will stop.

Nah, I'm gonna keep going.

I know I'm having a boy this time because I gently (lol) twisted my husbands balls to the right as he came and everyone knows that's how you make boys.
Why are we even discussing this? Isn't that common knowledge?

Do you mean the Maternit21/Harmony/Panorama tests? Those are the only blood tests that I've heard of that can tell you this. As an FYI, like the NT scan, many insurance conpanies will not cover this unless you are considered "at risk" for aneuploidy.

Yes, those are the blood tests that I meant.

You people really need to chill on the misuse of the abuse button.  But, thanks? I guess.
