Any feelings on gender, ladies?

[pookied]

With my daughter I knew she was a girl I saw her in my dreams lol. I only ever had 1 girls name and i craved fruit...sugar and spice all things nice my MS was quite moderate up until 12 weeks. With this one Im appx 5-7 weeks and im craving salty stuff and my gut feeling is boy.. and i only have a boys name this time round.

I definitely had a salty tooth when I was pregnant with my son, couldn't stand sweets! This time, I have a serious sweet tooth It'll be interesting to see if that means anything different- but definitely the tastes I had during my son's pregnancies are the tastes that he's stuck with even into toddlerhood.

While we have names picked out for either gender (Alexander or Hailey), we both really feel like I'm having a girl. My next appointment is next Monday when I'm 10 weeks so we should be able to find out when we can find out the gender then. So excited!

I like this thread because It will be interesting to see what my results end up being. I want a girl so badly and DH wants a boy, but I think it's a boy with all my heart and DH thinks it's a girl because I've been getting all of the opposite symptoms I had with my son.

Everytime I ask my son about his baby sibling I always say baby brother and then have to correct myself and say baby sister. I can't even find myself coming up with girl's names, I have a ton of boys names in my mind, but nothing for a girl yet.

hellojello- nice names! Alexander was one of our top 5 names we took to the hospital with our son when he was born. Exciting, do you think they'll let you do the early blood test or normal ultrasound to find out? Is anyone getting the nipt/panorama/maternity21?

zmzrbe- I think it's interesting how a lot of times we can only come up with a name for one gender, with my son and my last pregnancy (miscarriage) I had only boy names, this one I have only one girl name. I think there's often something to that why we can only think of names for one gender...

I think I'm having another girl, but with DD I thought I was having a boy lmao and that was wrong. I don't remember early pregnancy with my first so I can't compare. I'd love a boy so I have one of each but I'm happy as long as my baby is healthy and happy.

even now at 16 months my DD prefers sweet over savoury

I think I'm having a girl as I can't imagine having a boy!!
Secretly hoping for a boy though will find out in 10 weeks time I guess!!

What's the gender thing for sweet or savoury? Cos I'm craving more savoury this time like crackers and cheese and homemade soups etc!

Not really sure But I assume sweet tooth might indicate girl in the whole old wives' tale guessing games? But I don't really know! I was definitely into meat with my son's pregnancy, and salty things... but I think that's also just in his genes! He has similar tastes to my husband (who doesn't like sweet things, oddly enough!), and I always said it was like I suddenly had the same tastes as my hubby. My son still would choose a pickle or crackers over dessert any day!

Hadn't even thought about the whole sweet and savoury angle. With DS I kept swapping between sweet and savoury right until the end. This time I've got a major thing for Reeses so still none of the wiser

 

[hercfreak]

With DD I didn't have any ms just tender boobs and ate harribo like there was no tomorrow! This time I've felt sick every single day but still enjoy the harribo!

I'd like another girl as I have everything for a girl!! And I know my mum would favour DD over a boy (she's been asking me what sex it is after every scan we've had so far. Don't know why I bothered telling her she has to wait until 20 weeks!)

It could mean either, 2 of my friends had 2 completely different pregnancies between 1st and 2nd and they both had 2 boys!

Ooh I'll be excited to find out what we have in there then!! Will you find out at the 20 week scan or wait till the main event? I don't think I've got the willpower I'll be finding out at the 20 week scan!!

Yes it'll be very exciting to see! We found out with our first and waited till delivery with our second. I loved the surprise but DH wants to find out this time so we'll be finding out at the 20 week scan. Fx we get our boys although three of a kind is very special

I strongly felt from the beginning of my pregnancy with my son that he was a boy. I think it was also because I wanted a girl so badly that I was guarding myself somewhat. He was indeed a boy!

With my daughter's pregnancy, I felt the same again. Boy. Until before I had my nuchal scan, and I started to notice a lot of my friends who were pregnant were finding out they were having boys, so I figured maybe I was the one having a girl Felt like this up until the very end of my pregnancy where I had a scan at 37wks and was sure I saw boy parts...but can't have, cause out popped a girl!

In saying that...I know of many people who would have placed money on the fact that they were having one sex and had the opposite.

I had my 12 week ultrasound yesterday! Here's a picture! I asked them if they had a guess on gender yet, and they said they might say boy BUT said even though it's sometimes super obvious for them even this early, it wasn't very clear with mine (since I had a high risk pregnancy in the past, they send me to a fancy place with fancy equipment). It will be interesting to see if they're correct or if my gut is right that I'm having a girl!

P.S. My 20 week ultrasound is scheduled for 2 days before my son's birthday, so I think I'm going to convince my husband to let us do a gender reveal at the end of his birthday party (just to announce it to family and friends, we'd find out at the scan). Fun!

I wanted to do a gender reveal thing too and I really love the idea of baking a cake with either pink or blue sponge on the inside so you cut it open and all is revealed!! My DH is far from keen. I think his words were 'no one will be that excited apart from us' spoil sport!!

Haha, I know that's why I'm not sure about doing a party specifically for revealing the gender (unless it's somehow also the baby shower?). There are so many grandkids on both sides already that it doesn't have the same excitement now finding out the gender for them but I think that just having our son open a gift at the very end of his party revealing if he's going to have a baby brother or sister would work for us
Maybe if your hubby doesn't want to do a whole party, what if you just brought a cake like that to a family dinner or something, so it's still low-key but a fun surprise for everyone at once?
