1st Trimester

Physical signs of gender?

No Captain Sarastic... I don't mean on the baby (i.e., penis or vagina). I mean on mom! I'm growing hair... this is the first time I've ever had a "happy trail" (but thank God it's blonde) and I've never had one before. I'm also growing hair (not on my head) at a faster rate. Everyone is saying it's the extra testosterone due to a baby boy, but I'm skeptical.

Re: Physical signs of gender?

  • Yes and no......the hair growth and the rate of it, are related the hormonal changes that are taking place in your body. To say it is related to a boy or girl is really just an old wives tail. If anything, enjoy the longer, stronger finger nails while you can!

  • OWTs.  Some of my hair has gotten coarser, or has been growing faster, but all the U/S's say I'm growing a second vagina, not a penis.  It's just our own hormones going batshit.

  • I don't know about it being a boy or girl but I'm starting to feel like Sasquatch over here! waaaah!  your'e not alone.
  • Wouldn't it be handy if we could all determine the gender of our babies by whether we're growing more hair, getting more zits or feeling a certain affinity to blue or pink?  Somehow is just doesn't work that way.  Did you seriously think it might?

    Either you can't read or you're just having a bad Monday. At the end of my post I stated that I was skeptical. Get a freakin' grip. Try not so hard next time to start drama. This might bode well for you later.

  • I asked if you "think it might" which you must since you posted a question about it.  If you didn't buy it, would you have bothered posting? 

    But thank you for the advice.  It just made my "bad Monday" much happier.

  • Bearkat, despite our itty-bitty snarkfest here, I have to say that I waste at least 5 minutes a day watching your siggy.

    I know! I laugh every time I see it! They also have instructions for do's and dont's of pregnancy, but I can't find it. One of the examples is for letting baby listen to music... the do of course is headphones on the belly, then the don't is the mom bellied up to an amp speaker at a concert. It's hillarious!

  • I can't decide if my favorite is "bonding with baby" or "calming baby."  :)  The little baby head at the table with a cup of coffee does crack me up.

  • I like drying baby myself. I hate to say it, but I think the human race has stupid enough people out there that would do such a thing. Poor us!
  • Get some Drano and pee in a cup, add the drano

    blue = girl

    green = blue

    something like that, there was a post the other day

    LOL

    as moronic as it sounds I know myself well enough to know that I will absolutely try it!

  • Well morning urine is darker than the rest of the day and that would influence the results.  I don't like the drano trick.  Or most any except an u/s
