“She” is currently midget-like, apparently.

If you send me a picture of your face, just before your 20 week ultie, I will tell you if it’s a girl or a boy! I’mgood.

I think your photo is gorgeous, the belly is beautiful – and I wish you the most pleasant of pregnancies (well, you can dream right?)

kateanons last blog post..One week

Belly is really beautiful! I think you shouldn’t worry because sometimes doctors mistakes too:)) even with ultrasound:))
Sometimes I also feel ovulation but not always.

kompostelas last blog post..Painting Toddler – Some Minutes for Rest

I had a viability scan done at 9 weeks and they dated him 7w3d. However, at my 13 week scan (yes, I have had lots of scans) he was measuring 12w4d.

Amy measured anywhere between 2 and 4 weeks behind and yet she was a perfect weight at birth.

My GP says that when they are doing the early scans, any kind of user error will affect how far along ‘they’ think you are. a single mm can throw you off by a few days that early.

Oh and no matter what the doctors seem to think, I know exactly when I ovulated and exactly when we had sex. I know exactly how far along I am.

And you already know what I think about your belly shot .

Veronicas last blog post..30w3d

I never knew when I ovulated in the early years, it was only in my forties that I was able to feel and recognise this. By then I’d had the kids and a hysterectomy so knowing ovulation days were just a waste of time. (nice undies)

Dude. Totally feel you on the mittelschmertz. Every. Single. Month.

But here’s what I wanna know.

WHY THE HELL DON’T YOU HAVE ANY STRETCH MARKS? You’ve just ruined my denial-based illusion that every mommy has them. Thanks for THAT. I’m going to go cry on my road map of a tummy now.

aww..

the baby bump..

i have found the chinese conception chart works well..

Tazs last blog post..56 Weeks Old

when i was pregnant with Maddi they said she was smaller than that what the dates where..

when it was her time to come out.. she weighed 9 pounds 13 oz.. so i am sure my dates where right..

this time we have basically fit the weeks at the ultrasounds i have had..

Tazs last blog post..56 Weeks Old

chinese conception has been wrong 3 times for me and thats it..

for me its undecided as

50% say boy and 50% say girl..

Tazs last blog post..56 Weeks Old

I’m glad the pregnancy is progressing well.

Here’s my theory on the whole boy/girl sperm thing. I STRONGLY agreed with your theory, having heard it before, when I fell pregnant the second time.

I also feel myself ovulate, and I know we had sex 3 days earlier – thus not only was the pregnancy a total freakin’ surprise, but I was ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED it was a girl.

I was WAY MORE NAUSEOUS than the first time – which I attributed to double girl hormones (you know, mine and hers).

I was TWICE AS CRANKY and treated my husband like a total dorkwad – and HE was convinced it was a girl too, because during my first pregnancy I couldn’t stop looking at him (hubby) with I love you crazy eyes, and worshipped him.

Everything about the pregnancy was SO TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

At 13 weeks I had one of those in depth ‘check all the organs etc’ scans, and the scanner announced “It’s another boy!” at which point I apparently sat straight up and said to her, “NO WAY! CHECK AGAIN!” I was SO pissed off for at least an hour after that. I’d been so sure, so arrogantly sure (of course my mother in law was the only one who predicted it right so I had some pride swallowing to do) that it was a girl.

Anyway, as soon as I started day dreaming (for the first time ever) what it would be like to have two boys, I totally fell in love with the idea.

They would play TOGETHER!

They would play with DADDY on the GOLF COURSE, while mommy has a spa day! By HERSELF!!

Suddenly I was REALLY REALLY HAPPY with the idea! Anyway, now that boy no.2 is here and already nearly 8 months old, I’m still freakin’ happy with the idea, he’s awesome (not girl like at all – considering the hormonal freak show that he caused me) and he and his brother are fast becoming buddies, much encouraged by me!

Whatever your baby is, I wish you health and happiness, and as much ‘me’ time as you can get
Twitter: droversrunness

This same thing happened to me with my youngest. I have been able to tell when I ovulate since I was in my early twenties. The pain has always been bad (cysts). He measured small too. But he was born a month early and was 6lbs 4oz. I really didn’t think that was small for a baby born a month early. He was a peanut as a small child. He had the same growth spurt pattern that my oldest had. At 13, he filled out. Now youngest is 14 and has a nice build on him. He’s short just like his oldest brother, but he has a nice solid build. Anyway, I bet that your date is right. Some women know when they ovulate because of the pain.

Jeans last blog post..Jewelry Dictionary

I knew Emma was a girl from the get-go. I can even remember where I was sitting when I just got that: “This baby is soooo a girl” feeling…I was about 5 weeks along. And I was right!

I ovulated on CD 21 (according to an OPK) and we “did the deed” on CD 20 and CD 22. I think I might get those ovulation pains that you talk about but they aren’t enough to rattle me so I could never go by them myself.

All of this baby talk gets my baby juices flowin’ again! Maybe we’ll have overlapping pregnancies!

AnnDs last blog post..Weekly Winners

I dreamed about both my boys before they were born.
And for two pregnancies, I only have one photograph of me. Belly shots so weren’t in before Demi Moore did it.

witchypoos last blog post..How to stay busy while chained to the phone lines

Oh God, I hope it’s a girl – because I can’t imagine what you’ll be like with TWO BOYS!! Besides – you want to get all foofie and stuff and a little girl will allow you to do that. Not that you couldn’t do that with a little boy – but it WILL make it difficult for him as he grows up. I’m just sayin’.

lceels last blog post..Ah, my jones
Twitter: lceel

i can totally tell when i ovulate too! it started happening after baby number 2 was born so for babies 3 and 4 we tried all of one month. made things much easier for sure!

and i agree with the stretch marks thing. i heard that it is hereditary. i was adopted so i can’t actually check. my mom doesn’t have them and neither does my sister who is her natural child. ah well. they are my badge of honor i guess.

natalies last blog post..What we’ve been doing…

My midwife told me that mother’s intuition is statistically more accurate than ultrasounds. So there ya go. She.

Miss Britts last blog post..Officially the First “I’m So Nervous About BlogHer!” Post of 2009

Ok, i tried to fight my babies age with the doctor and they said it doesnt work like that. I ovulate on day 9 of my cycle, which means i will most likely not be due on my ‘due date’. They said , sorry we go by the majority not the minority….so whatever i guess. I know when i concieved my baby. Also, about the she thing. I feel like im having a girl too! My family says boy but its just an instinct i have or maybe its secretly what i want.

Tatianas last blog post..9th Week

Aww! What a cute belly! I had the same problem with dates given my ultrasound techs and docs being way off what I calculated based on my last period. While I did know the exact dates of my periods I never knew when I ovulated. But they always moved my due date back so far I would have had to get pregnant WHEN I WAS HAVING MY PERIOD and I KNOW that didn’t happen. By the second time I wanted to say “Dude, I just have big babies” (first baby 8lb. 13oz., second baby 10lb. 12 oz.) but when I brought up my concerns to my doctor he made some really lame and very offensive analogy about how ponies tend to have ponies and clydesdales tend to have clydesdales (I’m nearly 6ft. tall) and just because the baby is big doesn’t mean their dates were off. Yes. He compared me to a freaking CLYDESDALE. Nice, hey? But I was ok with their date because it meant I would have my babies earlier instead of later! Still, it’s annoying. Especially for those who actually know when conception occurred. Hey, maybe you’ll get compared to a miniature horse! Or a seahorse! Lucky you!

Shannons last blog post..Picture memes with a side of nostalgia

well at least you were TOLD that your baby might be due at a different time. They measured our munchkin at the 99th percentile for height and weight at our ultrasound and umm didnt think to tell us. Although I dont feel myself ovulate, I can tell by other factors (mucous, tmi), that I am, and I know exactly when my munchkin was bred. They told us at our 8 month appointment or whatever that she might be early because of the 99th percentile thing and I said hells no that’s not going to happen and yet.. it did. It could be that I hadn’t had much to drink that day, or that I walked around and carried too much crap that day, or that we had just moved and stress was at an all time high, or she just had no more room to groove and ‘broke’ free… really a lot of different things could have contributed to it. anyway, everyone thought my munchkin was a boy because of how she was ‘laying’ jor I was carrying(including the chinese calendar thingy).. yet here she is in all her estrogen glory, with nary an adams apple in sight!

Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing]s last blog post..Weekly Winners 11.9 – 11.15

Ness,

Ha! What a story. Don’t worry – I’m really not so invested in the idea of a girl that I’ll be upset if it’s a boy. In fact, John and I have already talked about how cool it would be for Braden to have a little brother to pal around with. Not to mention all the boy-like clothes we could use over (cheapskates!).

And like I said, I don’t base it on any other real fact than that I have a weird hunch. And maybe that’s just a weird after effect of having terrible gas. Gas can do crazy things during pregnancy….

Lotus:)
Twitter: LotusCarroll

Sometimes hunches are right, though! When I first got pregnant, the hubs and I were both getting boy vibes, and I was having dreams it was a boy. Then, a few weeks before the big ultrasound and doing a few online, “Guess the gender!” quizzes (which all kept coming up female), I started getting a strong girl feeling. It started rubbing off on the hubs, too, and he started thinking it was a girl. The first hunch turned out right.

And that was with a high heartrate, and I’ve been carrying him high the whole time. Ya never can tell.

Amies last blog post..IT’S GREAT, IT’S GREAT, IT’S GREAT

Most cycles (before I was an old fart and stopped O-ing every cy) I could feel it when I laid the egg. Some cys were more obvious than others.

About the date/measurement thingy – fertilization can occur up to 5 days after O.

Nice undies ya got there.

Not only do I “feel” myself ovulate, I sometimes lie there squirming and panting it’s so painful. It’s a highly accurate predictor and not as sexy as it sounds.

Laurins last blog post..Ten Things I Really Don’t Think YOU Know About ME

My mom was just SURE I was a boy(they wanted a surprise) right up until the day she went into labor, then she became SURE I was girl. She was right the second time So, I’ll listen to gender more closely closer to your due date.

My daughter wasn’t very big until the last trimester; suddenly she grew so long that she decided to come 2 weeks early! No room left at the inn, apparently.

Kates last blog post..Deconstructing Dash Snow

LOL I keep referring to mine as “she” too, even though I have no real clue what so ever.

I’ve been able to feel my ovulations for several years now.

BTW, I called all my in utero babies her or she. I was right in 2 of three times. Can’t complain about that.

I “knew” my daughter was a girl. It was weird. With my last one, I hoped, and interpreted certain symptoms as indicative of a girl, but it wasn’t the same kind of “knowing.” And he was a boy!

What a cute bump!

With this pregnancy, I had to break out the maternity pants very shortly after we got the news. I guess it’s just muscle memory that makes those bumps show so much sooner in subsequent pregnancies.

If it’s any consolation, I get the “you’re huge for your dates” comments ALL THE TIME. I’m not far from my near-term size now, and I’m about 6.5 months along.

Now are you feeling anything move? My in laws swear that I should be feeling flutters right now and all I am feeling is gas bubbles. Are those flutters?

Oh and yeah I know what you mean about the ovulation pain. Plus if you can date ovulation and intercourse why don’t they use those numbers for dating? Just seems dumb to me but I’ll be dealing with the same crap soon. We conceived October 2 and if you count the first day of my last period I am 10 weeks 1 day but according to their dating I am 8 weeks 6 days… WTF?

Also, I too think I am having a girl based solely upon feeling. We wont know for sure until January though…

Talinas last blog post..Oh no! Keep the mac safe! (and other musings)
Twitter: TalinaN

I’ve been able to tell when I ovulate ever since I birthed my boys. It’s not a “run to the medicine cabinet for Advil” type of pain but definitely noticeable.

What a cute baby bump~Hi Fuzzball As far as knowing/feeling the gender, I believe that the mom sometimes can just know. But, w/each of my pregnancies, I thought they were a girl & they were all boys. I guess I just wanted to experience having a girl & getting her all frilly & bows in the hair, all of it. BUT, I could not be more happier w/my boys~they are my world & even though there’s a huge age difference (Justin’s 12 3/4 [2 1/2 weeks til officially a teenager] & Kendall’s 3 1/2) they get along wonderfully.

I never tried the Chinese prediction method but w/each of my boys, my sister’s mother in law introduced me to the “needle method”. I googled it for you & here’s a link to a page that describes it. You should try it & let me know which it predicts (it worked for each of my pregnancies!)

http://www.tryingtoconceive.com/needle.htm

connies last blog post..Weekly Winners=Nov. 9th-15th 2008

I’m not at the “feel myself ovulate” stage of my life because there are no more kids in my future, so I believe I’m at the denial stage.

As far as the “feeling”….with both boys I refused to think that I was having a girl. There was just no chance in Hell that God would curse me with one like myself. Thank heavens he was on my side. So he cursed me with male forms of me instead.

And both boys had steady heart rates of 170+ during the whole pregnancy so shoosh that myth out the window.

I’d trust your guess over theirs. I’m with you that she’ll probably catch up. And that I have nothing scientific to base anything I’m saying on!

What exactly does it feel like when you ovulate? I have never noticed this.

Allees last blog post..Just doing my ‘Friday Dance’…

I think it’s a girl too. How exciting. =)

Oh yeah, and I have that pain, too. I honestly never knew what it was. All I know is that is what right then left right then left… changing monthly. Im retarded for not knowing. haha.

Your belly is sweet, and I’ll be interested to know if you’re right in your guessing. In my family there are 3 kids and apparently my parents were dead-on with the “feeling” they had for 2 of us, but not the youngest. They were sure he was a girl.

Jenns last blog post..Things that make me cry

I feel the same! I feel that mine is a girl and thats what we’re hoping for, so…..

I also knew when I ovulated, which was late and know when baby was conceived. My period was late so I went to the doctor. The ultrasound showed me at 10 weeks instead of 12 like I worked out and there is no possible way that I was 10 weeks, it meant that we would have conceived 4 days before I got my positive test, which was only because my period was a week late. So I’ve decided to go halfway between and say I was 11 weeks, which makes me 12 now. I dont care what they measure, I know when I ovulated and I know when we conceived.

I feel ovulation pain too. The first time it happened I went to the doctor because the pain was so bad and lasted 5 days. He assured me I was ovulating or about to. I felt dumb but he assured me that he has had patients go to the hospital due to ovulation pain. I knew I was ovulating and I got pregnant that month with my son.

Also your belly looks great.

jennyonthespots last blog post..Make Me Laugh Monday: You May Bow And Exhault

It’s OK, Loafie. I have had an intuitive feeling that you will have a girl since I found out you were pregnant.

I also get thing weird pangs about 2 weeks before my period, so I guess it must be ovulation pains. **shrugs** Who knows? I don’t have to worry about getting pregnant for a LONG TIME.

I started wearing maternity clothes at 9 weeks with Parker. That second pregnancy brings out the baby bump a LOT sooner. You’re not fat, just seasoned!

Yes, I’m well acquainted with the whole Mittelschmerz thing. I suffered with it almost from my first period. I was glad to get rid of my ovaries so it would finally stop. I wrote about knowing when my daughter should be born for Slice of Life Sunday this week. I knew very well that I ovulated about 24 hours after I got married. I was in pain all that day – rather put a damper on the honeymoon. lol

Hecticmom Undones last blog post..Totally Looks Like

I FLIPPED OUT when I got my measurements back and I dated a week AHEAD of where I thought I was. Hello – I would have bet my bottom dollar on the day I ovulated. Every single sonogram (6 in the past 7 weeks) show me at 13.5 weeks instead of 12.5 weeks… so I’m going to just go a long with their dates. And considering that I look about 18 weeks pregnant, every little bit helps!

The only thing that made me feel any better was knowing that the HCG corresponded more with me ovulating earlier… which was a huge relief when I had my 1st trimester screening done.

jills last blog post..The Weight Has Now Shifted From My Shoulders To My Abdomen

I wouldn’t worry too much about the size thing… especially since you know when she was conceived. All kids are different, it’s just an average. Why do some people have 6 pound babies and others have 10? We’re all different. (okay, now I’m swaying and singing Kum-By-Ya in my head… )

I know what you mean about a feeling for what you’re going to have. I’ve been right each time. Utterly positive #1 was a girl. Guessed boy for #2 and was right. #3 from very early days they said girl, and that’s what the ultrasound tech said… although the ultrasound was a little less clear than usual this time, so I may yet get a big surprise!
