Well, i dont know about the wives tales but I am hoping that opposite signs equals opposite sex. I have two boys never got sore boobs til after I delivered and no headaches. With this one my boobs have been sore from the beginning and severe headaches. I will keep u posted when I find out the sex in MAY

Same here! Boy #3 was confirmed today. I had every owt and calendar tell me otherwise. Good luck to everyone- I hope everyone gets their dg and a healthy pregnancy/baby. It's been a hard few months thinking this was our girl and then to find out it's another boy- but we are so happy he's healthy. Not sure what to think now that all the owt were wrong- makes me wonder if we really pushed for 4 if the only way would be ht? :(

I don't think it predicts anything either. I never had sore breasts with any of my sons..until the very end of course ;-)
Same with my boys bbs were not sore till the end

It's boy # 4 for me, so once again I believe in not a single sign or old wives tale period LOL!

After my 3rd pregnancy and having an opposite, I thought for sure I was having a girl...nope he's a precious boy. Than with this go around, I tried not to buy into any of the signs..but they sucked me in yet again. I have had such sore boobs with this one (have to wear a sports bra to bed and I did not get sore with my other 3 until the very end. They have gotten bigger and trust they need to shrink if anything :)! My skin is terrible. I have had more pimples this pregnancy than I have had my whole life I think. Pretty sick for the 1st about 16 weeks and still to this day food in general is blah. I only crave sweet things etc etc. So yep those dang wives tales did nothing but mess with my head these last 2 pregnancies LOL! Good luck to all of you ladies :)

I'm currently pregnant with #3 and we are not finding out. I had sore bb's with my son who's 3 and DID NOT have sore bb's with my daughter (she's 2). So far, I have not experienced sore bb's with this one either, which is definately a girlie sign for me.

We are not finding out the gender, but so far, I've had morning sickness (only threw up a few times, but bad dry heeving all day), my face is breaking out still (20 weeks) and I never get pimples. Not sure how I'm showing yet as my bump is not that big - some days it looks low and some days it looks high.

Good luck on your girl! When will you find out?

With my son they were not nearly as sore as they are with this child (hoping/thinking/praying it's a girl). My breasts did actually not grow that large till the last trimester with my son and are HUGE with this one. I like to think that opposite symptoms means opposite genders - however I know many women have went by this theory only to be disappointed when their baby ended up being the same gender as their previous child(ren) who had opposite symptoms.

Gl girly!!

I won't find out till March, i'm due in July! Trying to convince myself to wait till delivery, but not sure i'm patient enough, lol.

I would have the ultrasound tech write on a piece of paper Boy or Girl and put a gender ultrasound pic in the envelope for you and hubby to open at a later time. This way ou have the proof with the result, that's what I did with our DS2! lol

Can't wait to hear if you are having a daughter!

So excited to see everyone's responses! I wasn't able to log in for a while, I kept getting error messages. I wasn't able to get a nub shot at 12 weeks. She said she couldn't get a view, and she didn't believe in it. She said she studied it for a couple years to see if it was accurate, and it really wasn't, so she doesn't do it anymore. Either way, baby wasn't showing the goods! So we have an ultrasound next week.. I am so nervous! I convinced dh to find out, although he wants them to put it in an envelope and open it later ourselves. I kind of want them to show me very clearly the gender... so not sure what will happen! The only other thing that has been different in this pregnancy is with my other 2 we had very abnormally low growth hormone levels (papp-a). When I asked about this one, they said it was completely normal. It is so odd, since we had so many extra ultrasounds with my first 2, and they are saying we won't need them this time. My dr. even made a comment that maybe this baby is a girl since it's so different. I am dying with anxiety to find out, and am just trying to brace myself for boy #3.. this is definitely our last so it's hard to imagine never having a daughter if it is a boy. Hoping all these silly owt's and odd symptoms may mean the opposite. I'll keep you all posted.. and girl wishes your way too!!!
