I know this is off topic, but are there any grounds to old wives tales regarding gender? Because I had 3 magpies in my garden on 4 different occasions, I also did the baking soda test and it came up girl as well, the Chinese lunar gender chart also says girl? So has anyone had any success with any tests or anything? Thank you xxx

Shells, that is so frustrating!!!! I'm so sorry! It's so difficult especially when you care so much. It sounds like you're fantastic at your job so to be sidelined is a little devastating I'm afraid i don't have any great advice, but i wanted to send you a hug!

Captain, I'm sure I'll join you in the gaining soon! I'm trying to eat super high calorie foods now because i don't want to be in trouble for my weight when i go back to the dr! I don't know what she'll say if i lose anymore.... much rather be enjoying eating. Hoping this nausea goes soon!!!!

Melly, hope to hear great news later today!!!!

Is anyone trying to exercise? I wanted to keep up, but honestly i quit the gym and do nothing! I have a pregnancy yoga dvd i may try when i feel a little better. What are you ladies doing?

Wow I have my scan next thursday too its going to be a busy scan day lol we still wont be telling mil for a while I will tell my 94 year old gran after the scan but she wont be happy my mum wasnt too pleased to findout I was expecting my last dd I told her by wearing a t shirt with a baby on board sticker on it lol she just ignored it. But I guess deep down she knew she would never see the baby she died 3 weeks after I told her I was 8 weeks preg,
we named our daughter Annastazia which means resurection in memory of her

 

[ttc126]

Sorry, stupid double post!

 

[ttc126]

Kitty kat, the wives tales, gender calendar, and etc were totally wrong for my son! The ramzi theory was wrong too! Even my gut said girl. But the baking soda test was right! I kind of want to try it again with this baby

 

[MellyH]

I just did the Chinese one and it said girl. What is the baking soda test?

cheers hun, i love my job and they are just trying to protect me from some of the unpredictable circumstances i could end up in (they are all as excited as i am lol), but i do think they are being over cautious - i have been doing the job a long time and able to make pretty good judgements lol Need to suck it up and just do it and hope it works out but if i start writing incoherent posts you'll know i've gone loopy with boredom x

My scan is also next Thursday - defo a busy day!!

 

[Captain]

Never heard of the baking soda test so I just googled it..then had to try it! It didn't really make a noise, so I guess it's a girl!

 

[ttc126]

Lol!!!! Captain

 

[ttc126]

We all need to go pee on baking soda now!

 

[MellyH]

You have to pee on it?!

 

[ttc126]

put 1 tsp of baking soda in a disposable cup.
Then pee in the cup...if the concoction fizzes like a soda does then they say boy. If it doesn't, it means girl!

 

[MellyH]

Hahahah, okay, I'll try it when I get home tonight. I wonder if it's really measuring the acidity of your urine?

 

[ttc126]

I just did it. I think it fizzed enough to say boy for me. I think it's boy. Dreamed it's a boy. I was wrong last time though. Fun to try these!

 

[ttc126]

Melly i think it must have a lot to do with what you eat/drink.... i do eat and drink more acidic things as sour food is bearable right now! Lol!!!!

So I don't know if I have gained weight or not. That sounds weird but here's why: I usually weigh myself right after waking up in the morning and going to the bathroom. From that perspective it fluctuates a pound or two back and forth daily. But my weight can fluctuate 3-4 pounds within a day. At the doctor the other day it was about 5 lbs more than at the first prenatal visit. But my morning weight hasn't really changed. I definitely have a bump though. Should I be worried at all? I haven't had any morning sickness. And am eating normally.

 

[MrsTM1]

I must be the only one on here that's gaining weight with this pregnancy!

Lost a bit of my appetite over the last week but in Vegas oh man I couldn't stop!

I've gained 2 pounds so far. Midwives aren't worried if I lose weight, so long as it isn't extreme. I've been eating about half of what I did before I got pregnant this time, plus my bump feels (and looks) huge already, so I guess it's just evening out.

 

[kittykat7210]

I definitely feel like I have a bump!! I'm normally fairly skinny, and the top of my tummy is still thin but the bottom just above my pubic bone is sticking out rounded!!!

 

[jmandrews]

Haha i did the baking soda test a couple of weeks ago and it said girl. Chinese calendar says boy. The string needle test says boy. So we will see.
All the old wives tales said boy for my first preg and I had a girl. Although I did dream with her that she was a girl. I hope I have a dream with this one too.

Hi ladies,

Can I join you over here? I'm due Feb 17th with my first. It's 'off-season' at my work right now so I have extra time, and thought I'd find another place to post! Also I'm sure I'm driving hubby crazy talking about pregnancy and babies all the time lol.
