Sex
I hope that caught your attention. The correct term when finding out if the baby is a male or female is SEX, not gender. No prenatal test is going to tell you your child's gender.
A child's SEX is biological. XX or XY, penis or vagina.
A child's GENDER is psychological.
The majority of the time they do match up but they are NOT interchangeable.

I am so glad I'm not the only one. Seriously when I read these posts asking if they are "pregnent" I want to reply I sure as sh*t hope not if you can't even spell the d@mn word! Sigh, this forum really made me think twice about the "general public". I wish there were more intelligent people out there like you ladies!
And why on Earth to people pregnant with one child say their "bags of waters" broke. Is there really more than one amniotic sac while pregnant with a single child? At first I thought well gee I am finishing up a Ph.D. so maybe it's just that my IQ is higher therefore I can spell things like pregnant and know that you cannot get pregnant from being "fingered" :P

Ok so I was having a pretty bad day then I read this! You all crack me up! But I completely agree!

lol your comment about pregnate and virginia are hilarious. I notice a lot of people spell pregnant wrong even though this is a pregnancy forum.
you know this post ties in with what smjmekg asked about changing a baby's gender/sex using the IVF methods...does changing their sex change their gender? hmm! the world may never know ;)
I just wanted to add to this rather random thread that XX is Vagina and XY is Penis.
Thought i would add something random in here!

What I find most interesting about this is that as condescending as it does come off, WifeofAnt, you yourself used the term "gender" in a post in April. Like the others said, people use that term because it is widely accepted, and used even by the birthing centers, obstetrical offices, and ultrasound facilities. If they called it a "Sex Scan" rather than a "Gender Scan" a whole different thought would prevail.
I'm going to say it to my BF....
some pretty good gender LOL! and then like in the movies he will have a fag... And go mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm some pretty good gender right there. LOL...

Oh, I was talking about another post in this post some how I tried to relate them but I forgot why...
I have to put full stops... and punctuation, I don't know why, it's like OCD. If I don't put normal punctuation, there will be full stops and commars (I can't spell it) and I will always break up my sentences, and start new paragraphs cause I like it LOL...
But text language really does my Noodle in, did they teach you how to spell like that at school? Nope.
Ashelen, my BF used to write like that, you will see a random capital letter. So it will be like
Hi my nAme is JoHn, I slapped it out of him. he uses text language, BUT not as bad a some people he would put 2moz and mre, and things, but I understand what he means. Not like some people! LOL....
This convo started about sex and gender LOL....
do you think some people go, I think we should have Gender tonight?? LOL..

I+AM+NOT+FOND+OF+THE+POSTS+THAT+LOOK+LIKE+THIS+EITHER+IT+IS+VERY+HARD+TO+READ+THEM... I don't even know how one gets to an all-caps post with plus marks in between the words -- does some software do it automatically? The caps-lock feature doesn't do it, at least on my computer -- it just puts equals signs in between. I also have trouble reading posts where the poster does not break up their thoughts, so the entire thing is technically one sentence even though about eighty-five (or a hundred eighty five or two hundred eighty five) words long.
Ashelen~~~OMG! You have made my day! LOL LOL LOL!!! BTW thanks, I didn't have to pee when I opened this post...lol. aNd YeS tHaT aNnOyS mE tOo!!!
Anyways, I don't think we really need to make fun of this post, it does have a valid point...BUT we can't expect everyone to be correct with their way of words, or spelling...for example, different people have different phrases, or use words differently because of their backgrounds, as far as where they are in the world. You can't expect people to be correct 100% of the time. I'm sure if you look through everyone's posts SOMEWHERE no matter what you want to believe...I guarantee there's at least ONE mess up...
BUT this post has brightened my days a little, given everything I've been going through the last few days, I've needed a good laugh!

OH DEAR!! S uc ked me dry.. NO WAY!! I laughed and told my bf, and he just looked at me and went did you say that you CHAV! I was like no John shut up, I didn't say it, it was someone on here douche!
But if we did spend all our time politically correcting people we would be a DICTIONARY not a MEDhelp forum....
Why can't people say Oral sex? Why... Fingering, and FISTING! ARGH, its not something you really wanna hear well read... I normally come across these posts when I am eating something and I believe to be so unlucky when that happens.
But why can't you say Oral sex. Okay, I can't say anything really, when I talk to my BF cause we are slightly mental we do say 'Head' for B.job. and we do say Fingering, BUT I WOULD NEVER WRITE IT ON HERE! I would say ORAL SEX! Because thats what it is. We don't make up words for actual sex...
Yeah talking to my BF I take the **** and say that pokey stick aint coming near me, I am tired LOL... Sooo.... But that is just between me and my bf. I don't care cause its us.
But things people come up with are fooking HILARIOUS!.
