Wives Tales For Baby Mast #2

Will Emerson have a little brother or sister? Here is the rundown of wives tales and answers for you to make your picks!

Morning Sickness? YEP! We should actually call it all day sickness. You guys, I thought I had it bad when I was pregnant with Emerson. Ha! That doesn’t compare to this pregnancy! I felt like I had the flu/never ending hangover since week FOUR. I was just pretty good at putting on my game-face for y’all! Thankfully, most of these fun symptoms have subsided.

Headaches? Occasionally, but nothing compared to the nausea.

This puts a vote for: boy maybe?

Heartbeat above or below 140? This baby’s heart beat has been 167, 155 and 157. FYI- Emerson had a girl’s heartbeat in the 150’s.

Craving sweet or salty? Well, the little I was eating tended to be salty. Bacon, potato chips, etc. Last pregnancy I had a complete meat aversion for a few months, but this pregnancy, I wanted almost nothing and there is no rhyme or reason to what I liked/didn’t like. Almost all food, and large meals sounded unappetizing. Also, last time I craved all carbs, sweets and orange juice w EJM. Out of the 1st trimester now, I have pretty much zero cravings, but haven’t entirely gotten my appetite back.

Carrying baby high or low? Last time I feel like I carried pretty low, and this time I’m thinking looks the same. I definitely am showing faster with this second one. The body remembers!
