Naaaaah it's not that hard to resist, because i've chosen to be on team yellow and i actually like team yellow it's that i DON'T want to know the sex. You ladies want to know so it would be torture for you. I don't want to know so it's not that bad. Admittedly sometimes i do entertain the idea of finding out but then i pull myself back in with a firm "NO!" haha
i've been having tightenings since very early, where my tummy goes rock rock hard. Everyone tells me it's too early for braxton hicks so i just call them tightenings until it's within the braxton hits acceptable week range then i continue to call them braxton hicks. Eva's pregnancy was the same. I get them very often and very easily. If i over work myself like walking to much or lifting a few bags of groceries then bang rock hard stomache, i also get them if i let my bladder get crazy full or even after i empty my bladder sometimes. It's rock hard on one side because that's the side the baby is on.
