Pregnant with BOY vs. pregnant with GIRL

miissperez · April 2014

In your personal experience, does being pregnant with a boy feel different than being pregnant with a girl? I really don't want to find out the sex of my baby, but I'm already getting anxious & really hoping for a boy! I know all pregnancies are different...I'm just curious about others' experiences.

Um...you call us all judgemental and stupid, along with calling women who choose an alternate birth plan than your's boring and weak, on your other thread but you want us to answer this?

No thanks.

RedBirdFly · April 2014

You plan an unassisted, natural, no intervention homebirth and plan on finding out the sex?

SMH.

I feel that I am too boring with my planned hospital/epidural birth to answer.

@miissperez‌ how the hell would you find out the sex even if you wanted to???? On your big ass make believe ultrasound machine? With the make believe tech? I only ask because you said you "really don't want to know" suggesting this May be an option... To know.
Go piss in some bleach that will tell you girl or boy.

my pregnancy is too old and boring to notice if its a boy or a girl

meeshybee · April 2014

I plan on having an epidural, so I'm not strong enough to tell.

That's one of the perks of living in the 21st century. We go see these modern day witch doctors called ultrasound techs. They look into a big magical box and it tells them what sex our baby is.

And then they make sure that neither I nor the little boy/girl die during childbirth.

Welcome to the future....

If you are going to be really disappointed to have a girl, it might be in your baby's best interest if you find out in advance (with science). Then you can deal with the news before she's born.

It drives me batty when people would be disappointed in either sex.

Me too. She said she's really anxious about it. Sigh.

Me three! If I have a girl it will be fun to buy pink things for a change but if its a boy, I've already started boxing up DS's clothes just in case we need them again (save some money!!). As long as my baby is healthy I will be the happiest mama in the world

You're joking..right?

You've been added to my Post-it.

LOL! Loving this snark....feel like I'm back on TTGP!

ed16564 · April 2014

I love the snark too- but beware- I anticipate a dramatic GBCB coming- which would be okay- my afternoon looks pretty bland, I could use some entertainment.

Hahahaha wow you all are hardcore

musicalmommy3 · April 2014

For my sake I hope you have a boy. I hear there is less tearing when you have one.

Wouldn't want your hubby to have to stitch/duct tape your vagina that much.

mander82 · April 2014

@musicalmommy3 BAH HA HA! Duct tape your vagina!!!!

jf198400 · April 2014

OP, in answer to your actual question, NO for me both of my pregnancies were very similar and I have one boy and one girl. Obviously every pregnancy is different anyways so really there's no way to know.

you're joking, right?

This is to funny lol smh

vbchick0788 · April 2014

I just read the other post... First of all it's totally fucked up that you would even say that women who get epidurals are not strong enough to handle child birth. Pretty sure I have been "strong enough" to continue trying to have a baby after 8 months trying to concieve and having disappointing results (and many women endure the heartache for MUCH longer), and I am strong enough and will get an epidural if I fucking want one during my "boring hospital birth". It doesn't make me any weaker or stronger than any other woman, including yourself, who is carrying a little miracle for 9 (or less) months. Anyway, don't want to re-create the huge mess of a post that happened before. SO.... I think that if you want to know the sex of your baby, have an ultrasound like anyone else who wants to know the sex and I hope that you will be just as excited either way. When you start a new post asking for feedback, advice or opinion, don't be so offended when you get it.

This makes me happy

smboswell1 · April 2014

Call me weird for searching for the original post?! Hehe. These post keep me away from studying and I LOVE it. Put me down for an epidural and a boring birth please;)

Melissa2216 · April 2014

Since she never responded, I'm guessing she was just trolling here as well. Too bad. Well done on the responses here, ladies!

meeshybee · April 2014

It's like when a group of cars in a long line all band together to not let someone cut. A thing of beauty.

Lurking from July '14. This lady's crazy made our headlines over there. I'll bring the chips n' dip.

sunflwra · April 2014

lisaren · April 2014

Yo @miissperez‌ Are you playing hide and seek with us?
