@korthouse the Chinese chart was so far right with all my kids, and the more heartburn=more hair on their heads. Both my kids were born with full heads of hair and I had horrible heartburn.
TW: 1 infant loss 8/17: Our daughter was born 8/18: Our daughter kicked open heart surgery ass 2/19: We lost our son to Prader-Willi/Paradoxical Vocal Cord/ Noonans at 6wks old 4/26/2020: EDD for baby #3!!!
@korthouse I just figure that if I guess either way I’ll be wrong. If I continue to refuse to guess, then I can’t be wrong. And, I feel like I’ll be happy either way as long as baby is healthy. Even though I know I want a girl so I can name her after my grandma, a boy would be super fun for DS.
I won’t find out until Thanksgiving so I’ll play along with @korthouse and @mercury94. We’re having twins so it will be interesting how these old wives tales play out. We just want healthy babies so we aren’t thinking one way or another right now.
My last pregnancy I had HORRIBLE heartburn (slept sitting up the last couple weeks) and Baby had a head FULL of dark hair. My dr even commented about the old wives tale being so true in our case.

Looks like I’m finding out on Monday. My doctor wouldn’t let me schedule my anatomy scan until after I get back from Disney, so I’m doing an elective gender ultrasound on Monday morning.
Found out today we're having a girl! I was pretty convinced, since I've been so sick this pregnancy and wasn't at all with my son, but it's exciting to know for sure. My OB told me to go out and buy some girl clothes this afternoon to celebrate.
Do we want to do a boy/girl poll? I’ve seen that some of the other boards have one pinned as an announcement to keep track of how many boys/girls/team green they have.
I mentioned above that I hadn’t received my NIPT results yet and that I was guessing a girl...I have guessed that for about a month. Went to my 16 week doctors appointment a couple days ago and got all my bloodwork results back. I guessed it right, it’s a girl. I couldn’t believe it. Isn’t that a trip? All low risk results too. I am feeling so happy with good news. 💗 Hope you ladies are feeling well.
Anyone doing anything for a social media gender reveal? I want to post something, but do something really simple. I'm half tempted to just post the ultrasound photo saying it's a girl.
@Kathryn0903 I’ll be posting the pic of our family’s gender reveal that I shared above. For last pregnancy I just did the ultrasound photo and said it’s a girl and that worked out perfect too!
@kathryn0903 I made a cute announcement & had some cards made for some of my family members (thank you, Shutterfly!) but for facebook, I just posted a picture of my husband and I, and my little bump had a sticker on it that said "it's a Boy."
@Kathryn0903 I posted a picture of my “It’s not a food baby” shirt along with an ultrasound image of baby’s feet from our anatomy scan. I had some word play in my post (my husband’s last name rhymes with ‘fetus’), but overall it was pretty simple!
Going for my ultrasound on Friday so I decided to try this and see if it's right or wrong! My family, my hubby, and I are convinced I'm having a boy, but my in-laws and friends here think I'm having a girl. I'll let you all know which one it ends up being!

Boy: 8 Girl: 6
And I already know though that Baby is definitely a Boy
Looks like my family, husband, and I were wrong! Baby Balding is definitely a girl. But we're thrilled about our daughter and can't wait to meet her come late April/early May.
Found out we’re having a little girl! We were quite shocked by this, as we were convinced it was a boy! All the “traditional symptoms” pointed to boy, as well as my intuition, which turns out is not so intuitive! Lol. We’re so excited for our baby girl!!!!
