My sister is 11+ weeks pregnant and per her request I have some questions for my “Mommy” readers. You know you all love talking about your pregnancy and your child, so now is your chance! Please read the questions and leave a comment with your answers. C’mon….it will be fun! You don’t have to be a new mom to answer these questions. Even grandmas can participate!
1. What is the gender of your child? (or children)
2. If you took the intelligender test (and followed the “what not to do 48 hours before testing” directions:) was it correct?
3. What is your story with the fetal heartbeat? There are so many “myths” out there….140 (or is it 150?) and below means boy, above 140 means girl. However, it’s supposedly a fact that the heartbeat of all babies will slow down some as your pregnancy continues. Did yours start high and then get lower? Stay high? What’s your story….
4. Did you have morning sickness?
5. If you had morning sickness, did you take your prenatal vitamin several months before becoming pregnant or when you found out you were pregnant?
6. Go to www.babyman.net, click predictions, enter information, and since you already know the outcome, was it correct?

Here are my answers:
1. Boy and Boy
2. Jackson: Didn’t take the intelligender with;
Garrett: Correct!
3. I don’t remember exact numbers, however I do remember both boys started out in the “myth girl range.” It seems like it was only high the first time on the doppler, which the doppler doesn’t even detect a heart rate until around 12 weeks (give or take)….so probably sometime between 12-16 weeks it dropped. Garrett actually dropped really low, but still healthy and normal. Actually when he was born, I remember a nurse commenting that we may hear comments at a future dr. appointments about his heart rate being on the lower side, but still normal and not to be alarmed.
4. No actual morning sickness, although with Garrett there were times that I think I would have felt better if could have been sick.
5. With Jackson I took prenatal vitamins long before finding out I was pregnant and felt much better than I did with Garrett. With Garrett, I started taking prenatal vitamins when I found out I was pregnant. (Such a horrible Mommy I am!!! Remember, I still thought I could only get pregnant with help from medication. haha, little did we know!) My theory: I thought Garrett was a girl because I felt worse, but I think introducing the prenatal vitamins on top of the pregnancy hormones was the reason for me feeling worse.
6. Babyman.net - correct for Jackson and incorrect for Garrett.

These things are fun for me :)
1. Girl and Boy
2. Abbey- no test, Max- incorrect result
3. Abbey was in the "myth girl" range, and Max is in the "myth boy" range.
4. I had no morning sickness with Abbey, and I felt very yucky in the mornings with Max for about 20 weeks.
5. I took prenatal vitamins with Abbey once I found out, but I started taking them with Max before I was pregnant. I pretty much took them for the first 12 weeks of both pregnancies, and then not much after because they make me sick.
6. Babyman was incorrect for Abbey but correct for Max!

4. No nausea with Owen, but a lot of nausea with Eli.

1. Girl - Cecelia Raine Allen
2. Didn't take the test

4. Never really had morning sickness, just felt uneasy for a little while.
5. I didn't take prenatal vitamins, just adjusted my diet to get all of the nutrients.
