Re: Gender

  • @mercury94 I've felt so sure it's a girl too, but I just feel like if I'm that sure it will definitely be a boy  :D
  • @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. 

    Carrying high (girl) or low (boy): boy
    Pregnancy acne (girl) or clear skin (boy): Boy
    Feeling hot (girl) or cold (boy): both!!
    Baby's heart rate typically under 140 (boy) or over (girl): girl
    Craving sweets (girl) or salty/sour (boy): Both!!
    Chinese & Mayan gender charts: both boy 
    Lots of morning sickness (girl) or okay (boy): girl 
    Partner gaining sympathy weight yes (girl) no (boy): Boy (but he didn’t when we had DD either!)
    Legs/ankles swollen (boy) or normal (girl): Girl
    Feeling clumsy (boy) or graceful (girl): Boy
    Pregnancy dreams (baby will be opposite of what you dream they are): Both
    Frequent headaches yes (boy) or no (girl): Girl, but more headaches than I had with DD
    Urine colour light/dull (girl) or bright yellow (boy): Both
    Moody (girl) or mellow (boy): Boy

  • 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.

  • @mercury94 sorry to hear your dr wouldn’t schedule but now you get to find out soon!

    @bbaughn congrats! We don’t get to find out our twins until almost Thanksgiving.
  • Congratulations @bbaughn and @aresee - wonderful news!!!
  • 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.

    It’s a boy! I’ve thought boy since the start, so my intuition was right!
  • @mandarenee898 I’m so excited for you on team purple. That’s awesome.

  • @jenabary congrats!  It’s such a weird feeling when your intuition is right! 
  • 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!
  • I just decided to go simple and posted ultrasound photos and a baby girl outfit. DH was no help, but he said he liked how I did it.

  • 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!

    I figured I'd do this for fun/out of boredom lol

    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!!!!
