I will start........I am 8 weeks pregnant I am having night sickness like all the time. I crave salty stuff mostly. I get twinges of pain on my right side most of the time. Get alot of heartburn too. The hair on my legs is growing faster than normal these days lol! My pillow faces north. My boobs are sore as heck! Cant give you a heartrate because I havent been to the doctors yet! Start guessing!

I am never a good one for guessing, so I will skip that and post my own.

I am beginning my 7th week. The first day of my last period was july 12. I just started getting night sickness, usually starting between 4 - 6 pm. The pains I have are usually on my left side. That is the ovary that released the egg, and there are two cysts on it. One is the cyst of pregnancy, but the other may be an actual cyst. :( that may explain the pains. In the beginning I had horrible lower back pain and menstral-like cramping, and still do occasionally. My boobs hurt really bad for a couple of days last week. So much so that I couldn't stand to have them touched. They aren't so bad now. I crave spicy foods with this one, such as pepperjack cheese, and taco bell's mexican pizza. The sonogram showed the baby is fairly low in my uterus, and its newly formed heartbeat is at 126 beats per minute.

Tech....Guessing a boy! When r u due?

Well......April 17th, april 18th, or april 23rd are the three dates I have been given so far! I am sure it will change again with the next sonagram/unltrasound! That seems to be the trend here..Lol. And we are hoping for a boy, but all the chinese lunar calendars say girl. :(

so far I have had two sonograms for follow ups to my spotting incident. It is way too early to tell the sex. My first official ob appointment is sept. 27th. That is when I will get an actual ultrasound. Maybe then. If not then then I have to get another ultrasound on october 24th to check up on that cyst. So if the first ultrasound doesn't show the sex, then by october 24th I will be about 13 weeks, and should be able to tell then.

I beleive luv4kyles baby is going to be a boy, just with the salt cravings alone. My aunt had 2 boys and she had wicked salt cravings while she was prego with them. Just a guess tho :)

Okay:
luv4kyle06- you are definatley havigna boy!!
Teach486- I would say that you are having a boy but girls are the ones that cause the most pain and issues, so I wo9uld say you are having a girly-girl. He-he

Hi!

Let me guess,

luv4kyle06- ure's a boy
teach486- ure's a gal

so when will u both know whether it's a gal or boy?

Normally at which week would u be able to tell the gender of the baby?
Just curious!

I still haven't had morning sickness at all. I crave junk food. Salty stuff, sweets and sours. I get that awful gag reflex when im full and smell food or think about food. No real vomiting though. The baby moves every couple hrs or so. Likes cold apple juice. Heard the babies heart beat today...For the first time... It was the coolest thing....Doctor said sounds really healthy and normal. Not sure what the number of the rate wasso I wouldn't be able to tell if the babys beat was fast or slow...Wasn't sure what to expect.
I go back tomorrow for a sono.


Babys been comfy overall. No real pains, just likes enya's music and his dad talking through my belly.


If its possible tell me what you think....

I am 6 months along... I love nachoes and now I am starting to like onion rings with ranch. I have a little bit of darker hair on my stomache and my boobs are sore every now and then but not constantly.





Lovablepetsworld usually at 5 weeks u can tell if it is a boy or girl but that is only if the baby coopertates.....



Thats when I found out...

Wow... That's really early.....Babykay4512

so is u're a gal? Since she loves to listen to her daddy talk?

Pls reply...

We're hoping for a boy but will be blessed with just a healthy baby. He tlaks about sports and all that guy stuff cause he's thinkin a boy.

You cannot tell at 5 weeks!!!!

Dont be stupid, you can first tell at about 16 weeks, they couldnt tell my twins were girls until I was 17 weeks.

I dont care what I have as long as its healthy. Its nice to look at other peoples craving and symptoms to see if you can relate. So where is everyone from? I am from pennsylvania!

Here are my gusses,

luv4kyle06=boy
teach486=boy
kismit=girl
babykay=boy

just a guess..
Cant wait to see if I am right. :d

virgie

Virgie555 thanks for your guesses!

The gonads in a baby don't even begin to develope into testicles or ovaries until about the 12 - 14th week of pregnancy. Therfore it is impossible to tell girl from boy before then through a sonogram/ultrasound, unless maybe your baby is advanced in the development stages. You can sometimes tell the sex of the baby between 16 and 22 weeks, but the best chances of determining sex of the baby through ultrasound are around 20 weeks. However, you can tell before the 15th/16th week if you do a blood testing for hormones. I am unsure how exactly that one works.

That first web site doesn't work :(

You are right, so here is the article since the link doesn't work:


body talk: boy or girl? Tell-tale signs that reveal a baby's sex
ok, so a scan's the most foolproof method of finding out the sex of your unborn baby. But there are plenty of other signs that can indicate whether you're likely to have a girl or a boy.

And we're not talking about old wives' tales here. Modern scientific research has unearthed some surprising clues as to who might be hiding under that bump.

It's (probably) a boy if...

You have an assertive, aggressive,

bold or dominant personality

research by dr valerie grant at auckland university in new zealand reveals that women who see themselves as having "masculine" traits are more likely to have boys.

This may be because their levels of testosterone are higher than those in other women, which in turn might make the environment of the womb more receptive to implantation of male embryos than female ones.

You're always hungry

women expecting boys eat about 10 per cent more than those expecting girls, according to recent research from harvard school of public health.

The study's author, dimitrios trichopoulos, believes it's because boys tend to weigh more than girls when they are born so the mother's appetite naturally adapts to help them take on more fuel.

You ate lots of bananas before you conceived

if your diet is rich in high-potassium food such as bananas or pears you are more likely to conceive a boy.

A study in the international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology reveals that the body becomes more alkaline if you eat this way.

And some experts claim this is a better environment for sperm that is carrying the male y chromosomes, increasing the chance that one of these will reach the egg first.

You have a tricky labour

ok, it's leaving it a little late and when you're in labour the last thing you'd be looking for are any clues as to what colour to paint the nursery. But there is still an interesting link between boy babies and tough births.

Irish researcher dr maeve eogan found that women who had boys at the national maternity hospital in dublin were more likely to have had a longer labour or to need help such as forceps or a caesarean - mainly because boys have bigger heads.

It's (probably) a girl if...

You're dreaming it is

sleep on this one... Dr janet dipietro at the johns hopkins school of public health in baltimore found that 75 per cent of mums correctly predicted the sex of their unborn baby in their dreams.

Your asthma is as bad as ever

dr peter gibson, from the john hunter hospital in newcastle, australia, found that 60 per cent of asthmatics carrying boys were symptom-free during pregnancy, compared to only 28 per cent carrying girls.

"we don't know why, but it's possible that baby girls produce a substance that somehow worsens inflammation in the airways," says dr gibson.

You got pregnant between

march and may

this is the peak conception time for girls - boys are more commonly conceived from september to november. The seasonal difference might be because girls are hardier babies and can survive the winter better, says dr angelo cagnacci from the policlinico of modena, italy.

You or your partner smoke

smokers are 20 per cent more likely to have girls than boys.

"sperm cells carrying the y chromosome are more sensitive to unfavourable changes caused by smoking, so are less likely to fertilise and implant an egg," says professor anne grete byskov from the laboratory of reproductive biology in copenhagen.

Your partner is older than you

couples where the woman is younger have more girls than those where she's older. Why isn't known.

You've gained weight on

your hips and thighs

dr dipietro found no evidence to support the old theory that "boy" bumps look like basketballs and "girl" bumps are more spread across the tummy, but she did find a difference in where you put on weight.

Carrying a girl causes a mum-to-be to put more weight on her hips and thighs. This may be because oestrogen levels in the body are raised and this promotes fat storage in these particular areas.

Virgie you were right.

We got our news yesterday that we are blessed with a precious baby girl. She's very active and loves her daddys voice.

Im from san antonio tx.
