I'm already convinced this baby is a boy lol

CONGRATULATIONS HBP!!! How fun fun fun!

I'm convinced this one is a boy, too... as I sort of went back to my usual vegetarian diet because my cycles were SO SCREWED UP everytime I was on the sway diet (I'm a vegetarian normally, anyway... so is my hubby) and also my morning sickness isn't *quite* as bad as it was with my son... I feel like if I am not puking every single day, there's no way it's a girl. (I puked twice with my son, and so far with this one, I haven't puked yet... though I've wanted to!)

Thank u so much ladies, I just can't beleive it I'm in shock!! I walked in the room with my boys and the tech said 'hi so we're hoping for a girl then' as soon as she put the probe on my belly we saw her girly bits lol she had her legs over her head and there was no mistaking the 3 white lines!! I keep expecting someone to say its all a joke.... We brought her 1 baby gro 2night.
Have told all the family every1 is so happy we all needed a girl!
I so hope you lovely ladies get your desired genders, and for those who are convinced they are having a boy....look how it turned out for me lol!

October 10th, 2012, 02:40 PM
Awww cute baby!
I'm sick this time too but it was just so awful last time that it doesn't feel that bad! I think it's just because I'm comparing it to when I was dying from sickness last time. my Mw really thinks that was bc there was something wrong with the baby last time, I had 2 drs tell me they'd never seen anyone that sick before .

Hbp- don't second guess the u/s pics!! I did constantly I should have just enjoyed it and bought pink lol!

mummypink
October 10th, 2012, 03:10 PM
Hbp - Willow is a fab name - I am so happy for you!!

The movement I have felt from the baby has been on the left side, and when I've picked up the heartbeat. Is that supposed to mean something?

As for the sickness theory I don't buy it as I was so sick when I was pregnant with ds2, I was nearly admitted to hospital as I just couldn't keep anything down and it didn't let up until I was about 14 weeks. I was convinced he was a girl as a result so the u/s was a big shock! I would say this time the sickness was in between the two, I've been sick about 6 times and still don't feel great now. With ds1 I just felt travel sick a lot, I wasn't ever actually sick and my sense of smell went through the roof which meant any food with a strong smell was a complete no go.

Hearing Hbp's news has made me smile from ear to ear but at the same time I think it has properly hit me how much I really want a daughter. The thought of being able to go out and actually buy clothes for a little girl, use the name we have picked, have that special mother and daughter bond and more than anything just complete our family. I am so afraid it isn't going to happen, I just can't imagine having a scan and being told I'm having a girl. It feels like it just isn't possible after two boys, I know that is crazy and of course there is a chance but you know what I mean.

I hope and pray we all get our DGs, I'm so glad we have each other to chat to about how we are feeling because otherwise I know I would be feeling really lonely right now. xxx

I obsessed over 12-13 week YouTube videos lol. I was able to guess most of them correctly, but when it came to mine I was just freaking out the whole time!
DH decided today to stay in the military (we were discussing moving home in 2 years), so I'm hoping this will mean I can talk him into just 1 more try later on lol! I'm still pregnant and thinking of trying for a 4th... Have I completely lost my mind??

You haven't lost your mind. :) There are so many of us that did the exact same thing.

I am 4 weeks away from an nt scan and I wish I could make the time go faster! My gut says its a boy, but if I get lucky and it IS a girl, I am dying to buy girly stuff. Diapers, bedding, outfits... All of it!

I LOVE having 4 kids. I'm having 5 lol...so my mind went a long time ago. I like the idea of an even number. And the only reason I went for 5 is to hopefully have another girl for my dd...and me of course.

Lol thanks ladies, that makes me feel less crazy!! I'm not sure if he'll go for it, although not to sound bad or anything, but he is really good about giving me the things I want (which I honestly don't use to my advantage, I don't like getting things for myself and always feel guilty especially if it involves money) so I think he might once he knows how badly I really still want a daughter. All he wanted was daughters so we will see in the future... I am 100% happy this is a little boy though! I feel sad seeing other little girls, but that doesn't change my feelings about this little guy one bit! I'm truly ok with it :) I'm actually even getting excited about having my 3 boys! Not to mention not having to spend much since DS2 just turned 1 ;) I may be biased, but I feel I have some handsome boys so I'm sure this one will fit right in! Hope we can agree on a name soon though, but at least we have plenty of time still. Sorry for rambling on lol!

Honeyz- thats how I've mentally prepared myself for this pregnancy, if it's another Ds I want to do pgd next time around and I know it prob won't be for a few years so we can save up money since I'd have to be done nursing, but it makes me feel like my dream isn't over so I can be happy for this baby no matter what.

Well I took vitex for 2mths then stopped for a mth as it gave me headaches, which is the mth I fell pregnant! I did no diet, we just had one very drunken night on holiday (i had O aswell) and boom pregnant with a girl! I did burn lavender alot, had a salt lamp and wore a rose quartz necklace xxx

Dang! I did vitex for a few months but my cycles were so messed up, so then I did soy isoflavones + antihistamines and got preg the second month of trying that and dropping most of the LE Diet except for my normal vegetarianism and trying to skip breakfast sometimes. A lot of people have had success with vitex with stopping it and getting preg the next month! I keep wishing I had just kept up with it, oh well.

Shellbelle
October 10th, 2012, 04:58 PM
I love hearing that your sway didn't include vitex the month you got your bfp! I didn't use it at all -- the month we conceived, I did soy isoflavones and that's about it. Well, except for our unintentional 5 day cut off lol, but I don't believe timing sways. We just thought there was no chance for us that month! So it's encouraging to see someone who is having a girl with a light sway!

Not at all its fine to tell the siblings whenever you feel its right. We told ours the day we got a BFP, maybe that was too soon, but we just felt like they should know, and they are all very excited about it.

I just told my kids about the baby. My oldest was getting nervous because I'm always sick and he thought something was wrong with me...love him. Do you think it was too soon?

We told all of ours right after getting a bfp, because the two that are home with me all day (we homeschool my 3rd and 5th graders) were going to have to help out more, and they needed to know why I was already so sick. So I think it's okay. Ours are old enough to understand that there are risks at this stage.

With our 2yo, at 10 weeks I woke up at 3am in a pool of blood. I'm not exaggerating. It looked like a murder scene. We had to take my two youngest with us to the er to see if we had lost the baby. After that, I didn't worry so much about what we would tell them if the worst happened, just because they had to experience it with us whether we had told them or not. I don't know of that makes sense or not, but I realized if we hasn't told them, we still would have had to explain what had happened.

You will be fine and at this point, I think it was a good time to tell them. Especially if your sweet oldest was worried!

I've been scared to tell Ds1 bc he had a really hard time the last time when things went downhill and he was only 3. It was heartbreaking , he would wake up and ask why baby girl had to go to heaven (I think he wants a girl more than me) and he would say mommy had "water in her eyes " (tears) . So I know he would be thrilled but I havent told him yet. It's been 4-5 months and he still tries to buy clothes for her

Just wondering if anyone else is having as hard a time settling on a name as me? I have a name chosen that fits so well with my other 2 boys, but DH won't agree... But he's also not really giving me many suggestions lol. Why does naming another human being have to be so difficult?! I'm afraid this poor boy won't have a name when he's born, otherwise I'll have to just sneak the birth certificate myself lol. We've had a girls name picked for 4 years, but always had a tough time agreeing on boy names.

Rosie85
October 11th, 2012, 12:37 AM
I have a name picked for both sexes. Dh says he is not sure about either name and I say I am dead set on them. I don't worry too much since he said the same about our first two kids' names which I picked early on in the pregnancy as well!

Maybe you could just start calling him by that name and DH will come to love it by force, haha!

Good luck for your scan today NC!

I've just got back from my midwife appointment, a new midwife since my old one retired. She was nice and everything but she didn't measure the bump yet which I thought she probably would have, and she said 'oh it is probably too early to hear the heartbeat' which surprised me as my old midwife found the heartbeat at 12 weeks with ds1 and 13 weeks with ds2. I said I had already picked it up on my doppler at home so she said 'oh that's fine then we don't need to do that today'?! My next appointment is a few days after my scan when I will be 19+3 which seems like forever away! I used to feel really reassured by my old midwife but this time I came away feeling like nothing had really been checked properly.

I should really have insisted she try and find the heartbeat etc but as it was all in Norwegian which I still don't find easy I just got a bit thrown by it all and before I knew it the appointment was over.
So I guess the next check I have to know if everything is ok is my scan on the 19th November, I am so glad this is my third pregnancy and not my first!! :worry:

Unfortunately Cinss she is the only one so I don't have any choice, she was really nice just not as thorough as I thought she would be after how great my last midwife was.

im so pleased i felt so bad last night, the last thing id wanna do is upset you lovely ladies! i pray that you all get your dds you all deserve it so much :) and mummy u crave only fresh bread just like me....so u never know ;) xxx

when i saw my midwife she didnt measure me either and i was 16wks, she did listen to the heartbeat but said the N.I.C.E guidelines have changed now and they dont have to listen to it till 22wks! i hope your next app is a better one!!

i found out the reason i cant feel her kicks very much its because my placenta is joined to my tummy wall (anterior high?) so at least i can relax about that more now!! told most ppl we're having a girl now....i feel in a dream at the moment, my son is just so excited about his sister, the 1st thing he said to me this morning is mummy your having my sister :) he ran in to sch telling his friend today i could have cried!!! xx

Just wondering if anyone else is having as hard a time settling on a name as me? I have a name chosen that fits so well with my other 2 boys, but DH won't agree... But he's also not really giving me many suggestions lol. Why does naming another human being have to be so difficult?! I'm afraid this poor boy won't have a name when he's born, otherwise I'll have to just sneak the birth certificate myself lol. We've had a girls name picked for 4 years, but always had a tough time agreeing on boy names.

We have declared a truce and won't be talking about names anymore until after 12 weeks. I hate every single name dh suggests. And I do mean hate. He ignores all of my suggestions and comes up with something else. So after a few fights we're backing off for awhile. Lol

I have a name picked for both sexes. Dh says he is not sure about either name and I say I am dead set on them. I don't worry too much since he said the same about our first two kids' names which I picked early on in the pregnancy as well!

Maybe you could just start calling him by that name and DH will come to love it by force, haha!

Lol I have been! And yesterday when I sent him a message that I bought 'Carter' something, he said, "who?" So I said his future son and he said, "I still don't know who you're talking about" lol. So he refuses to go with it...

I have talked about carter, too, lol. He looks to see what names are in the top 10 and wants one of those. If a name is in the top 10, it's automatically off my list. I thought we had agreed on a girls name, but then he changed his mind and started suggesting names I could consider suitable for strippers.

I love the name Carter, I wanted it for my first, then my second, but he vetoed it. He named both my other boys (Cooper and Connor) so I think Carter would be perfect. Confusing, right??

Beachy, I'm actually leaning girl based on your pictures. It's really hard to tell and maybe you saw more on the screen but I'm just not sure that's the nub. Seems SO high and the same shape and angle as the part of the other thigh that's slightly brighter. I really think he lower line could be the nub, which looks very girl.

I get headaches, too, and have had one the past couple of days. The good thing is that when I'm not pregnant, I have migraine with aura issues, and they are awful, but when I'm pregnant I tend not to have them. Regular headaches make me cranky but I can deal with them. The aura that comes with my migraines makes me feel like I have no control over one side of my body, so I am extremely thankful that they will be gone for a few months. ;)

I am! Thank you Tiffani and all you ladies. Yesterday was a little rough, and I feel so bad for being like that, but today has been much better. I really will love having another boy and I know my boys will love it too. I just want a DD for my own selfish reason. Maybe one day!!!!!!!!!

I will start dreaming of blue and getting used to the idea of a sweet baby boy! I know it is still early and it isn't set in stone that this is a boy, but at least I will be expecting it next time and it won't be sad to hear boy....or see it since I have to hide it from DH that I am going to peek.

I'm glad your ok today. Don't give up hope yet sweetie at all. I think you'll have a lovely surprise at your next scan xx

We told my husband's mother tonight. As I expected, she's very excited and has made sure to let her own gender disappointment from her three sons show! "Hopefully this time it's a girl!", "Maybe it's a girl!", "I hope it's a girl!!!"

Uggggggghhhhh! That's why we found out with my son because I couldn't listen to that my entire pregnancy. Now I get to hear it again. Ha ha. I told her that we just don't mind... that Otis will be a great big brother and we'd love a second son just as much.

NO!!! You will get your DD!!! Think positive 3M&AL!!!! I can live vicariously through you!!!! It is funny, my best friend had a DD, my sister has 3 DDs, and my best friend (who is due in feb and already has a DD) just found out about DD2 and I had not one single jealousy pang. Maybe my GD has made a lot of progress!!!

You know....I actually think I am in a pretty good position. I have already gone through initial round of "OMG this is another boy" and am prepared to hear it again...and that is OK! The more I think about it, the more I really don't care.

It would be way worse to be like some of the ladies that have gotten all 100% girl guesses to be then told boy at gender scan. On IG, there were a few ladies that this just happened to and it must be so heartbreaking. And those ladies have been so lovely and admirable. I would so much rather hear it now than be gutted like that!

My ex-MIL was the same way! She had two boys and started off telling me "we only produce boys in this family." Um, okay. Then when I was pg with DS1, she wouldn't talk about the pregnancy because it was bad luck, and when we found out it was a boy, she said "I told you so." When we found out that our 2nd was a girl, she told me that u/s were wrong and that there wasn't a chance, so I needed to prepare myself for disappointment. Wouldn't buy pink clothes. Wouldn't call her by her name. And then after she was born, she proceeded to tell me that I would "ruin" her with princesses and such, and that she would never be intelligent because she was "just a girl." It was INFURIATING, and so insulting.

My ex didn't ever understand why his mother and I had such a bad relationship, LOL. And he is just as bewildered that his current wife doesn't get along with her, either.

Omg Shellbelle, I can so relate to you! My crazy MIL told me the same thing when I had my three. With ds1 and 2 she'd say in a smug, gloating tone that I was 'so lucky' that dh had the boy gene because apparently my dh's family 'didn't make girls'. Well, guess who was the first person I texted when I found out DD was all girl? ;p She didn't believe me either and kept telling me that I should've had another boy and that I was 'in for it because girls are harder'. Lol, what would that crazy woman know about raising a girl? It's not like she ever got any daughters herself!
Then FIL told me that MIL wanted a girl desperately at one point in her life but had boys instead. So deep down I know she's just a jealous woman who never got to have her girl so her comments don't really offend me anymore. Perhaps your MIL is a jealous pants too?

I noticed you have a blended family. How many stepkids do you have?

Shellbelle
October 12th, 2012, 11:00 PM
Two (the oldest boy and girl) are my step kids. The rest are mine biologically, although my first two were with my ex husband. Yes, I think his mom is definitely jealous and this is how she expresses it. His current wife also has a dd from a previous relationship, and all I hear about her from his mom is that she's spoiled and "too girly." It's sad that she can't even enjoy her granddaughters.

That means so much! I love all this amazing support!

Tonight was so cute! I was in the car with the boys and we were talking about names. I said what about baby Eli? My 2yr old laughed and said baby E-wi and DS1 was so excited. He was like, yes, yes baby Eli. They were so cute! I just love them!! It makes me so excited that we are having another baby and that the boys are so excited. Thinking about gender and names just makes it all so real and it is going to be so hard to make it through the next 25 or so weeks. I just want to hold that sweet baby already!!!

Oh my shell! I'm glad I'm not alone. I really really hate that she took away the 2 weeks I should have been excited it was a girl and made me all nervous the u/s was wrong.
The sickness is reassuring. I am super nervous to take zofran again. Last pregnancy I had to and I hated taking medication but it was down to that or prob dying from dehydration, I had lost 17 lbs or so first tri. But after last time I'm so paranoid to take anything. I'm hoping I can just hang on and if I need to I'll go get an IV a few times.. Pregnancy is fun! I have a friend with DD's and she never gets sick at all!!! I always hate her when I'm pregnant (in a loving way)

I had a migraine Wednesday and the headache is still there and it's Saturday now. :( I have been desperate and I've taken paracetamol but that isn't making it budge, just tolerable for a little while.

Everytime I think my morning sickness has gone it comes back again! I had one full day where I felt pretty normal and could eat fine again and then it was back with avengance the following day! Hopefully through the worst of it now though.

We've been thinking about names more, still not sure for a boy if it is a girl we are going to call her either Sophie or Sophia. Haven't chosen a middle name yet, if it is a boy I'm really not sure so hard to choose a name for a 3rd boy!
On the list so far we've got Luke, Lucas, Alexander, Arthur .... we're not 100% sold on any of them but Arthur seems to be taking the lead at the moment.

My fingers are crossed for Beadin! x

Eli was one of our boy names, we also liked Isaac and Archie! I found it really hard coming up with those though, our sons are called Jacob and Noah so it would of had to fit in with those! I find girls names much easier to think of, my dad was telling me the other day that he can remember me watching the film 'willow' with him and apparently I told him that when I have a daughter I was going to call her willow :) so technically I've had her name picked out since i was like 9 lol!!

It was her birthday yesterday - so we planned to tell her in her birthday card first (she reads facebook), on her birthday, rather then find out on facebook... so just decided to plan it that way. She has three sons. The eldest lives down in London and he has 1 teenager son, whom she never sees (either of them, actually!) and her middle son died in the 90s. And she lost her husband in 2010. So, it's kind of just us and her sister that's around, really, and the only grandchild really in her life is our son... so trying to make the third overall grandchild a special thing for her instead of just finding out via facebook. She was very happy about the news but of course wants me to have a girl (like last time.)

Hey, a lot of her old, pre-war Britishness bothers me BIG TIME, but I'm not heartless... she doesn't allow herself to feel. I'm sure she grieved for my husband's older brother but in her own, quiet way.
'Stiff upper lip' definitely applies to her.

Oh I bet she's just THRILLED! :) My MIL was too. I just hope she backs off enough so you and hubby can decide.
My own mom didn't say it.. but she's experiencing a touch of GD because she really thought it was a boy and just wanted another one! haha In early July remember I mentioned how my boys were running around the restaurant at the end of our meal and she said "What are you going to do when you have 3 boys running around?"
She also HATES to be wrong. I sensed the GD.. when I was buying stuff for the G Party and she picked up a little blue baby shower item and said "Isn't it too bad you aren't having a boy..." And I stopped and I looked at her and snickered and said "Mom, are you actually saying you are disappointed it's a GIRL!!?!?"
And she quickly says "No, not at all.. I just.." and didn't finish her sentence.
And then picked herself up again and said "I'm very happy it's a girl!"

LOL

It's hard to accept that I'll never again have a sweet little bundle of blue again unless God intervenes.

Welcome to the newbies :)

coco - its a tough one! Well done on not finding out for so long :) Im team 'find out' because i don't want to feel any GD when the baby is born, and because i don't want to hope girl when it isn't, we're having an elective scan at 15weeks.
I worry that if i dont find out, i will potentially make things worse for myself after birth, the hormones are a mess at that time anyway, and i would hate for it to hit me then when you are already more susceptible to baby blues and pnd because of hormones, fatigue etc.

I love the name Willow suregena - it has such a nice sound to it

hows everyone one feeling? Ive been getting really bad bouts of MS....at random times, sometimes morning, sometimes night.....but its the extreme fatigue thats killing me! It is insane, ive never known anything like this! I really hope this passes once i enter the 2nd trimester because i feel so pathetic and useless :(

I told a close friend of mine and she started the whole 'oh wouldnt a girl be nice, i hope its a girl for you' I know im going to get SO much of that when people start finding out :(

But I've had to take all 3 to keep from getting sick, so it's a start! Had a pretty good scare earlier, the boys were playing together in the bedroom and I heard a scream. Turns out DS1 I guess threw a toy and hit DS2 on his head. There was SO much blood in the 3 seconds it took me to get there! Got him to the ER and luckily he just needed liquid stitches and had no other issues. It was so scary though, and now I think about how rough 3 boys are gonna play together, especially when they're a little older... Ugh I dunno how much my heart or nerves can take of that!

Hbp- same thing happened with me. Don't listen to them. They do get it wrong rarely but that's the exception not the rule and I really think its a girl. I also think an u/s tech who knows you have two boys and want a girl would Be cautious and wouldn't tell you girl if they weren't sure. Everyone said that to me too and in hindsight it really pissed me off bc I wanted to be happy and not obsess whether or not it was a girl. If you really are doubting it get another scan but I think it's certain you have a girl and other people are just making you nervous. I'd tell them to please be respectful as you'd like to enjoy your pregnancy and not be worried about the gender being wrong .

You have spent so much time dreaming about this happening it is hard to believe it actually has. I'm sure the scan in December will show you the definite proof you need and then you can go go go with the girly shopping!! I got a small next catalogue through in the post yesterday and sat cooing at all the gorgeous girls stuff! :D

Mrhoneyz, I know what you mean but I grew up with just a brother and we used to fight all the time - I even pushed him so hard he went flying and cracked his head on something and had to go to emergency! So girls can be rough too, I'm sure your boys will get on just great together and be best of friends. xxx

I know that is so stupid and crazy, and that ultimately it will all be fine whatever happens but I just can't help feeling like I'm going to cry tomorrow if she texts me to say it is a girl. :(

I feel like such a horrible person for even thinking that!!! My ideal would be that we both have girls so I should just be over the moon if it is a girl and keep my fingers crossed that I have a girl this time too.

Mummy pink- please dont feel like a horrible person because you aren't. Before I found out that this little bean was a girl, I wanted anyone I came in contact with that was preg to have a boy and not a girl. It is normal for you to feel that way!!

Aww mummy think we can all say we've been there!! Gd is horrible it can make us think all kinds of things, just know that we are all here tomorrow so if you do need a cry and moan let it out to us! I'm convinced your having a girl though just a feeling I have xxx

Thank you lovelies, so glad I have this site you are all wonderful.

Hope you are right hb! :)

I will let you know what my friend is having tomorrow when I hear, she knows I would love a girl this time and I think she is a bit worried how I will feel if I have a boy and she has a girl bless her. I didn't let on how I was feeling of course and I just said I really hope she has a girl so that even if mine is a boy I have someone to buy girly things for. xxx

Oh mummy please really do not feel guilty, we all do it, i spent my SIL's entire pregnancy wishing she had a boy - she did.

Its not like your wishing anything horrible on her or awful to happen to her baby, a little boy for her first pregnancy would be lovely, its an amazing bond between mother and son she'd be really lucky x

This whole thing just really sucks. I wish I had never asked for nub pics or a guess from the tech. I wish I never heard anything!!! One day I am fine with this being boy #3 and then the next I am in tears....UGH! Sorry to vent on you ladies!

Thank you Mrs. P. I know it is early, I just don't see this being a girl!!!

Oh hunny vent away we've all been there or will be soon (maybe me to if i ever get preggers again anyway LOL), its so great having women here who understand (i went through all of this alone with ds3 and it was horrible). What ever happens we will all support you (even if i have to crash your due date thread to do so - sorry everyone else i know i'm not mean't to be on here) and it really is better to deal with this now than have any of it when the baby is born (you'd then have guilt to deal with to). Maybe not knowing is better sometimes but at least if you do you have time to get over it before the baby is born.

Are you booking a gender scan in? or do you have a date yet x

:HH: Thank you Mrs. P!!! :HH: I know that I would have to face the music at some point...you can only stay in denial for so long. I guess the good news is that DH has been convinced this is a boy too so he won't think it is strange that I only want to think up boys names or buy boy clothes. I am going to try for a 16 week u/s which would mean Nov. 2 or so. I have my appt. on Tuesday to meet with the doctor and I will schedule it then. Sigh...GD SUCKS. GO AWAY!!!!

Big hugs NC, try not to give up hope and vent away on here. We all totally understand how you feel.

I would have loved an early scan but at the same time I knew I would obsess over the pics like you so you can't win! Part of me wants to not find out at the scan so I can be in denial the whole pregnancy and have longer to fantasise about having a little girl. I know I will have to get my head around it at some point though, far better to have a few tears at this stage and then look forward to having another gorgeous little boy. I'm sure those newborn cuddles are no less precious whatever the gender. Plus the way I thought of thinking about it just now is would I swap one of my boys for a little girl? The answer is a big fat no way!!! So I know even if this is another boy I will love him to pieces and never want him to be anything else even if I do cry a few tears for the daughter I will never have.

Mummypink- I'm the same way with other pregnant people right now, I just can't deal with it (not you girls!)and I just don't have the energy to pretend to be excited when I'm dreading this is a boy. I really hate GD too. My MiL is bugging us to go up for Christmas (9 hours away) but ill be about 18 weeks then, about when we lost our DD and I do not want to be far away from home during that time frame ...ughh.. Besides that clotting disorders and Long car rides don't mix. She's mad bc we never want to go up there I think

I keep trying, but then stop myself b/c I should have known better and I feel so stupid. I wish I could have an ounce of Mrshonyez attitude. She has been so awesome and pink4forme....oh my goodness. I have no reason to be so upset over a nub pic!!!!!

October 14th, 2012, 05:54 PM
It's because you haven't been told one way or the other. Still left guessing and tormenting yourself. Honestly there isn't a clear nub on your pics at all so I wouldn't break your heart on it at all xx

I had lots of mini freak outs before I knew for sure... I think it's the 'what if' that got to me the most! But now that I know, I've decided there's nothing I can do to change it (not that I'd want to change my baby of course) so I might as well get excited! Plus I'm still holding out hope that DH will agree to go for a 4th ;). I definitely wouldn't give up yet, and I hope you get a pleasant surprise at your scan!! At least all these wonderful ladies are here to help us get through either way!

I'm leaning towards ending my team green dream! Might try to get an appointment Friday! I kinda want my boys (well the 5 year old) to get to see the baby on u/s. I think it would be a really cool experience! I'm just a little worried its the wrong choice since I was determined to wait from the start! I feel like I'm going against my better judgement! I'll stew over it a couple days and then decide! NC its not over til they say boy so remember you are still in it... But I'm thinking maybe knowing is better for both of us than this limbo!!

Beachy - I really didnt see anything boyish on your pics....so i certainly dont think your chances of girl are shot.

I can imagine its tough! Im only at 8 weeks and the not knowing is driving me mental - I just want to know!

I'd say book in a scan, find out for sure, and then you can driving yourself round the twist - you'll know for sure, then there will be no more 'what ifs' or false hope, or false sadness.

Coco - dont feel that you 'shouldnt' find out just because you had decided that at the beginning of the pregnancy - if you think you will feel better by knowing, then book yourself in and find out......if its going to make things easier, and it means there will be one less thing 'playing' on your mind then go ahead and find out :) Let us know how you go....

We are going for an NT in 23 days, and im still in 2 minds wether to ask the tech anything about the nub / gender guesses. Part of me thinks that no matter what i hear I wont believe it with certainty, which means i will be in the same place as I was before. Part of me thinks i should just enjoy the 12 weeks scan as an opportunity to see out little baby, and then on the 1st of December when we have our gender scan I will find out for certain then, with no if's or buts or maybe's.
Not sure though - becuase of course part of me wants to ask the tech, get a nub pic, and post it on here! What do you girls think?

October 15th, 2012, 03:11 AM
Lassie i think it depends on the tech, unfortunatly some of them seem to have bad attitudes and will not be pleased that you even ask at that stage, but then some are really cool and helpful and would be more than happy to have a guess for you. Im just going to sus out the mood first before i ask about it, and im not going to be worried if i dont come away with a nub shot, i understand that 18 weeks is when we will find out for sure.

I know I have said it 100 times, but I really do love you ladies. I wish we could all sit together over tea and chat in person. I do feel better today and I asked the tech on babycenter about what was thought to be the nub and she said no, it wasn't the nub and she wasn't convinced that the pic that was circled had a nub either. I am just going to chill out and wait until my next "secret" u/s. I think once I get that scheduled, I will feel like I have a direction and time when this guessing will end.

CooCoo - do what you think is best! If ending limbo will make you have a peaceful pregnancy, then go for it. We will all be here!!!

Ugh. Today was supposed to be my first midwife appointment.

The midwife clinic is held in the downstairs part of the GP practice so you have to get 'buzzed' to go down there so you check in at the main reception. I went to the main reception and gave my details and she said she didn't see my name anywhere and that the midwives don't normally hold clinics on Mondays. I was starting to get really upset, so she tried calling their mobile number (they only answer that one 8.30 - 9.30 in the morning during the week so I knew they wouldn't get them on that) but didn't try their main line for when they're in the building since she already assumed they don't do clinic appointments on Monday. But she gave me the mobile number and the other number and just shrugged and said she was sorry.

So, I left feeling upset and like an idiot, trying to replay the phone call in my head but I definitely heard "Monday 15th October" when I organized it with them over the phone... so when I got home, I called the mobile number first and left a message, and then I decided to try the clinic number and the midwife (actually, the midwife I saw a lot with my son in 2009/2010!) answered the phone... so I tried to explain my confusion as I went for my appointment but was told there were no clinics on Mondays and I wasn't down for an appointment. First she was like, "Is this Gena?" Then she said she was sorry but the reception was wrong and I actually did have an appointment, but they can't squeeze me in because they need at least an hour with me and I was the last lady of the day and they were going out to see women in the community after. So she rebooked me in to see them next Monday. And I was like, "So, I seriously had an appointment today but she told me I didn't?!" and they said yes... and they were going to go talk to them about that.

After I got off the phone, I cried my eyes out!

A bit over the top, but the midwife appointment so much makes it official and real for me, and I was there, on time, ready for it, only to be made feel like an idiot and sent away, but in reality they really were in the downstairs clinic waiting for me!

ARGH. :(

Not the midwives faults... all the regular GP Surgery reception's fault. But it has seriously ruined my day....

Suregena that is awful! I can't believe they sent you away without properly checking! I'd have been in tears too, so frustrating! I don't think they have any idea what a big deal it is to have these appointments, especially when it is still early days.

Shellebelle - sorry you're feeling so poorly! Hubbies don't really understand how bad it can feel do they? I really hope you get over the worst soon, I think I am getting there although I was sick in the shower this morning! Seriously not nice!! :/
