I love reading the What to Expect book. It is very informative and when something happens its usually in the book saying it is "normal" and it helps make make this pregnant woman feel better.
This evening, as I wait for my dinner to cook with country music playing, I found a little excerpt that I thought was interesting. It starts out talking about how the closer to the 2nd trimester you get the hungrier you will be. Makes since, tummy felling better and all. But the next thing it says is "If you are bellying up to the refrigerator with the regularity of a teenage boy, you may be expecting one (or, at least) male fetus." Apparently there is research that shows that moms-to-be carrying a boy(s) eat more then carrying girls.
Is this true? Any of you out there that have had both boys and girls have an opinion about this? Is there any truth to this?
I feel I eat all the time. All the time. Even when my tummy is upset I am hungry. I am ok with one boy...but I really want at least one girl! It just seems weird that how hungry you are when you are pregnant can tell if there is a boy or girl inside. Weird.

Im starving all the time..I eat like a cow...jason looks at me weird like are you really going to eat that much. Lol. I was like that with both of my girls. It just depends on you really. I don't really believe all the hooplah. They said if your sick during the pregnancy it must be a boy. This pregnancy i am totally sick as a dog all the time and look we are having another girl. I think its just what your body decides. But others will have different opinions. This is just mine. Love you text soon Kenna
Ha! Can I get back to you on that? I feel like I am hungrier now (but 4 years ago is a lot to remember!) but I have NO IDEA what I'm having. And frankly, you are growing TWO babies and honestly, I don't know that the book was taking that into consideration. ;) I respectfully wait to weigh in on this topic :)
Oh, I have to disagree with this. I was hungry ALL.THE.TIME and I have a girl. I felt like I could eat something, wash the dish off and then immediately be hungry again! It was nuts. So for me, this one is totally busted! :)
Two boys and was starving non-stop with both of them. This is an old wives' tale that I just don't believe - I think when you're pregnant, you're just HUNGRY! Especially with twins... think about how much energy your body is consuming to help those peanuts grow. :)
Little boys are good and we need our boys to have good parents.:)
