Boy or girl?

[Vickyfleet1980]

Just for a bit of fun I thought I'd ask you all your theories to whether I'm having a girl or boy. My husband thinks all the old wives tales are none sense but I love reading them and predicting what I'm having!
I'm 15 weeks with my second child and will find out at the 20 week scan on Christmas Eve, so I will let you all know if you were right!
Ok symptoms;
-Terrible heartburn in the middle of the night
-spotty back and a few on chin ( normally great skin)

• heightened sense of smell. Gone off hubby's aftershave which I usually love!

- gag at everything!

• feel nauseous but not actually vomited.
• loss of appetite. Having to force down food.
• craving lemon sweets, cloudy lemonade, apple juice.

-feel worse as the day goes on. -bed asleep by 9pm most nights. -hubby says I'm moody :-(, wouldn't you be with all the above symptoms though ! Lol

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks x

Aww congratulations!

What a wonderful Xmas present. I just read through this thread as thought girl. It's the citrus that gives it away...I am exactly the same and have a daughter on the way!

I almost ate my body weight in apples and satsumas in the first few months. DH has a pic of me eating a lime too...it was sooo refreshing!

Have a lovely Xmas x

had my scan yesterday.. Im having a girl too :D best christmas present eh?

Tomkat79 peeapod, thanks ;-) congrats in your girl too! I still can't believe it! I thought if have two boys!
How funny you ate a lime! I could have actually done that too now I think about it! My husband bought me a lemon Yankee candle for Xmas which is gorgeous and doing just the job for my citrus craving! Just gotta try not to eat it lol!
All the best to you and your families. Merry Christmas xxx

We don't know what this one is, we already have a boy and a girl. Symptoms this time similar to last time (girl) but nausea much worse and lasted a lot longer, till about 17 weeks. I have heartburn most days, not as bad as last time yet (baldy baby).

Cravings include sniffing sponges, as I have done in all my pregnancies, and early on I craved grapefruit. I think this is another girl.

Sounds like you are having a baby!

To be honest with you, DC1 was a girl and now expecting a boy... I'm 21 or 22 weeks now (keep losing track) and my pregnancy symptoms were very similar both times if not identical.

The only reason I thought I might be having a boy this time around is that I knew my ovulation date and I knew we tried very close to that date & under similar conditions to what is recommended if you are trying to have a boy (although we were in no way trying to influence the sex as I didn't care either way). With DD I also knew my ovulation date and we didn't manage to try very close to that date, it was about 2-3 days before and also under similar conditions as recommended if trying for a girl.

Apart from that, there were no signs pointing to girl vs boy

Ah I didn't see your scan results before I posted - congrats!

Boy or girl? I've barley had any symptoms I feel in better health now that ive ever felt, no morning sickness at all, no heartburn, I've been a little more tired and moody than usual and a little dry skin on my face no cravings either or been put off any food
