I usually try to do weekly updates but its been kinda boring over here. Im feeling great! Im still tired pretty early in the night but Im not sick, my heartburn is WAY better, and Im overall feeling well. Honestly, its a little scary sometimes (like maybe I should have some symptoms if Im pregnant) but I told Brad how I felt. He said that Im still bitchy sometimes (oops) so he knows Im still pregnant. Even though he called me bitchy, he still takes care of me and makes sure Im feeling good. Ive wanted some sour gummy worms for like a week and couldnt get any. We went to the movies the other night and even THEY were out of them. Well he was so sweet and stopped by CVS on the way home from his workout to pick some up for me :). Its really the little things like that that truly matter. We have our next appointment in 6 days! I cant wait to go back and make sure everything is still progressing correctly. My doctor said that they would try and find the heartbeat with a Doppler but if they couldnt find it (its still a little early to definitely be able to find it), she would do another ultrasound to make sure everything is okay. I secretly hope they dont find it so we can see our baby again.
Ive been doing some research on predicting the sex of our baby. Now I know that nothing is definite but its still fun to speculate. Now here are the theories Ive looked at...
Chinese Gender Chart - http://www.thebump.com/calculators/ChineseGenderChart.aspx
-Just put in your age and the month you conceived and it tells you what you are having.
Our Result: BOY
Intelligender - www.intelligender.com
-You can buy these at Walgreens for around $40.00. Just pee in a cup, wait 5 min, and read result.
Our Result: BOY
Baby Gender Tool - http://www.babygendertool.com/
-Kinda like the Chinese Gender Chart but asks for the birth month and year of the parents as well.
Our Result: BOY
Placenta Theory - http://www.obgyn.net/ultrasound/ultrasound.asp?page=/fm/articles/fetal_gender_placental_location
-This theory is probably the most intriguing and requires a little more explanation. Basically this guy did a study from 1997 to 2007 and did ultrasounds at 6 weeks of over 5000 pregnant women. He found that if the placenta was on the right side of the woman's body, 97.2% of the time, the baby was male. If the placenta was on the left side of the woman's body, 97.5% of the time, the baby was female.
Our Result: BOY (If you want to check mine out, look at the picture at the top of the page and the left side (my right) is whiter than the right side (my left))
So based on these results, we are probably having a girl (LOL). Brad will never believe anything until that baby comes out (I was thought to be a boy and he was thought to be a girl till we were born). But its interesting to check it out. Anyway...enough for today...I should probably get to work.
For all of you ladies who already have babies, check out your ultrasounds and see what side your placenta is on...Id like to know if its true. :)
I'll have to dig out the ultrasound pics to check the placenta but the gender charts are right on for Gavin and Bean. And trust me, after my last ultrasound there was NO MISTAKING that for the umbilical cord; we saw the total package. ;) I'd say if you checked into it this much, you're probably having a boy but wait for the 20 week ultrasound. :D
ReplyDeleteif she was already head-down when this pic was taken, left-lying placenta!
ReplyDeleteI used intelligender when I was pregnant with Lexi. It said girl. It was right :)
ReplyDeleteThe gender chart is wrong for Chloe but right for Lexi.
