I feel like its a girl. My face is breaking out and didnt with my son and i just feel like its a girl. But that could be because i want it to be a girl. lol
Many of you say you know the difference between sex and gender but then say things that totally contradict that statement. So, just leaving this here for your awareness.
Sex is the actual biological differences such as genitalia, chromosomes, etc. while gender is how society or a culture defines/views male and female.

I have a boy and two girls. I always thought if you'd had each, you'd always have a pretty good "feeling" what the others were, but I don't really. I thought #3 was a boy. Nope, a girl. In hindsight, I can see that the pregnancy was more similar to the one with my daughter. This time, I'm feeling boy again. We'll see in August! Team green is fun but hard!

@mamadoaks I've heard girls "steal" their mothers beauty!
@cltweed I would think the same thing! And oh man, you are a trooper for holding out that long! It's a good thing you have both gender/sexes so you can do hand me downs for either this will be my first and I want to find out asap! I've done the Chinese calendar and looking up othere tests for fun!
@bumpybump it's funny to me how this blew over so well being on the bump. Usually stuff like this brings on a gbcb, Bmb's normally go insane for gender vs sex. I was in shock.
@Nxy there were a couple of other discussions that referred to gender of the baby. I don't remember seeing any issues on those posts, but didn't read through every single post throughly. So I am surprised it was brought up now. I'll gladly refer the gender/sex of the baby as sex/gender. Also not sure why my post is bolded.
Hey I'm not saying I care one way or the other. I'm just saying as an observer I was surprised you didn't get flamed over it. More people jumped on Bumpy and that's far from normal on the bump. That's all. Not saying you deserve to get flamed for it, just that I've seen it happen more than once.
@Nxy I'm not offended and I didn't think you meant anything by it, just something I observed as well I try not to take the Internet too seriously when it comes to getting personally offended, especially now with my hormones going crazy! Lol
@jpearl2307 oh after re-reading I realize you may have thought I meant previous posters on this birth month board. I meant it's considered flame worthy on *a lot* of other boards. I was just surprised from seeing other people get flamed on those boards that no one here seemed to care was all. I'm sure the lurkers from some of the other boards were expecting this to get a lot more heated lol.
@Natsuki@DeansGirl14 I never thought of withholding the gender/sex whatevs but I really like this idea! Thanks for sharing I was also thinking of keeping the name between my husband and I until the baby is born so it could be our little secret that we can share just between the two of us.
I swore my daughter was a boy. Nope. I have no symptoms this time other than I want sour things, which is strange for me. I want to guess boy since I feel so different but who knows!!?
I am going to sound crazy, but I'm going to put this out there for some internet entertainment and so when we do find out the gender we can see if it is true or not. The night of November 30 I was lying on the table at acupuncture and had a dreamlike (but awake) "conversation" with an "angel/ancestral spirit" who told me I was now pregnant with a baby boy. I would have two girls and one boy. She told me to behave as if I was pregnant (no alcohol, Advil, tuna etc) and not test until dec 10. I usually start testing insanely early at like 6dpo. Anyway I waited and took a test on the 10th and it was negative. Went to go throw away test thinking I was totally crazy and noticed the faintest of faint lines and here we are. I had been working on my spiritual journey since a surprising experience a few months earlier, but everything seems to have quieted now that I just want to puke all the time. I am actually a math/computer person so these intangible experiences are not my norm, but I'm willing to explore the possibility.
On the other hand my pregnancy doesn't feel dissimilar to my first daughter's so I actually won't be surprised either way. I won't find out until the end of March! I can't wait to see!
DH is adamant that it's a boy. All of my friends have had girls, so I'm not even sure how I'd handle a boy! I would be fine either way though...still debating whether to find out the sex or not.
My sister had the first girl born into her husbands family since before the civil war! Took a while for them to believe her. So, I wouldn't mind a boy, since there is no way I could top the enthusiasm people had for my niece. it was nuts. Plus, my mom always wanted a boy, she had 2 daughters and a grand daughter. Maybe all my boy thoughts are making me dream boy....hmmm.

I think girl only because this pregnancy is SO much different then my first was with my son. My and my DH blog so right before we find out we are having we were going to do all the gender predictor test.
I swore my daughter was a boy. Nope. I have no symptoms this time other than I want sour things, which is strange for me. I want to guess boy since I feel so different but who knows!!?
I craved sour candy (warheads) and tons of lemon in my water when I was pregnant with my son. I didn't have any nausea either. So I'd vote Boy for you just based off my personal experience ;-)
i think i am having a girl. we have had trouble deciding a girls name and yesterday after a nap, i woke up with "Marjorie" engraved in my memory. I never thought i would have a girl. I was wanted boys, now i cant shake the feeling i have a little girl on the way.
