Boy vs. Girl Symptoms

willmisspumpkinbeer · September 2018

So I am pregnant with #2. I currently have a boy. I only want two kids ...so I'm obviously hoping for a girl (though, of course, I'll be happy with either!). But, just curious for moms that already have a boy and a girl... did you notice a difference with symptoms at all?
I know most of it is old wive's tale stuff-- but just for fun. If so, how were they different?

So far, I feel pretty much the same. Mostly not-pregnant... lol-- which is how I was with my first.

Both my pregnancies were total opposites...and I have two girls. All the old wives tales are simply that, takes.

I have a girl and two boys, and all my pregnancies have been different, including this one.

nopegoat · September 2018

4 very different pregnancies. Different symptoms. Different aversions. 4 boys.

While my sister was pregnant with her daughter, she peed sitting down. When she was pregnant with her son, she peed standing up.
That's how she found out.

@expandcontract Can you ask her what it means that I pee laying down?

willmisspumpkinbeer · September 2018

No need for snark... just was starting what I thought would be a fun thread. You don’t have to participate.

@willmisspumpkinbeer you had plenty of nice responses. And @expandcontract had a hilarious response. We enjoy a tad bit of snark here. Enjoy a laugh, but don't get butt hurt. It's all in fun.

It’s also the second standalone you’ve started, you didn’t even respond to the advice given on the first one 🙃

Not sure why you’re upset? Her response was genuinely funny. If you’re that sensitive then you may find this board to be difficult for you.

Really confused as to why this thread turned sour—- why the gang up mentality? Really not a big deal. No need for silly gifs like we’re teenage girls. The mature thing to do is not to respond if the thread doesn’t Interest you.
If you aren’t going to respond to my question- I’m kindly asking you not to respond here. Let’s keep this fun. I came here as a break in my day to talk to other women in the same situation. But, this isn’t making me feel too great. So please respect how I feel. Even if you think it’s silly.

Girl. You turned it sour. She said a funny response which you took as snark (we all took it as good fun). And then you commented about it. And are continuing to be upset about it. It would have not been a big deal AT ALL but you kinda made it one.

Annnnd also, gifs are amazing. I don’t know why you think only teenagers can use them?

expandcontract · September 2018

@willmisspumpkinbeer I genuinely was just being a goofball. No snark at all. It's totally ok to have fun.

willmisspumpkinbeer · September 2018

So is your goal to make someone more upset? Make them feel stupid and belabor the point? I kindly asked for this to stop but you keep going. Let it go and let people with real responses respond please. I’m not trying to start anything. But can you seriously just please stop? We are all hormonal and pregnant. Let’s cut each other some slack

willmisspumpkinbeer · September 2018

@expandcontract cool. Sorry I mistook for sarcasm. Thanks for coming back and clarifying. I do appreciate it

You could just admit that you overreacted? And then just move on. It’s not really fair to call someone out (wrongly) and then get mad when others call you out. That’s not how life works. I’m sorry you’re hormonal and I’m sorry you’re upset. But you absolutely did mean to start something. Hormones aren’t a get out jail free card when it comes to rude behavior.

expandcontract · September 2018

@willmisspumpkinbeer no probs, but I highly suggest you should lighten up. We're all stressed and we all come here for camaraderie. We make jokes, we get snarky, but it's all in good fun.

ETA but there is truth in what @DuchessOfCambridge said, you gotta give if you want to receive. We gave advice to you and you never responded with anything. A thank you would have been nice. Just sayin, for the future.

willmisspumpkinbeer · September 2018

@keighty80 you don’t get to decide when someone else’s feelings are hurt or not. Saying mine are and asking kindly for comments of those kind to stop is not being “rude”. It’s being genuine and honest about how you’re making me feel. You don’t have to listen - sure. But, I was hoping my candidness about my feelings would implore people to let it go. Instead, I’m feeling bullied by you. You don’t feel like you’re being a bully- I’m sure. But your words have consequences and I’m letting you know how yours are making me feel. If you can’t be mature enough to leave me alone, then I’ll have to be mature enough to walk away. So gif away... I’m out. Thanks.
Also I’m not the only one who feels this way- I got two private messages saying the same.

keighty80 · September 2018

My god, I miss the old bump right now. But I fear the ban hammer too much to keep this going...so alas, I am going to zip it. 😂

sleepy33 · September 2018

@willmisspumpkinbeer you likewise don’t get to dictate how people respond to your posts.

jayngee · September 2018

Coming out of hiding to say that this thread reminds me of The Bump circa 2014.

It’s okay, she’s hormonal. Let’s cut her some slack.

expandcontract · September 2018

Woaaa! i didn't even realize what was going on while i was busy writing my post.

keighty80 · September 2018

@expandcontract I was trying (unsuccessfully, I think) to defend your honor. Lol

expandcontract · September 2018

@keighty80 I know, and thank you all for the support. I appreciate it!

notsoblissylissy · September 2018

Are they still heavy on the ban hammer? I think I went through three names last time...
