GD at its worst :(

[hlmcdaniels]

I had to buy a few things for the boys and after seeing all of the frilly baby girl outfits I just wanted to cry.. knowing my scan is in two weeks I just have the worst anxiety because I know that I will probably have another boy, the "odds" are against me or so my sister in law says.. as if a pregnancy wasn't stressful enough at times this added gender stress is eating me alive:( I try to vent to my husband and he tells me to grow up, he really doesn't get it and the feelings I have.. sorry to vent ladies I had to do it somewhere! And Aside from all of this we are telling family we are team green just so they can back off.. at least for the next 8 months or so =\

I'm sorry. I love your boys' names!

And, why not you? Why can't you get your happy ending?! Chin up!

Try not to let what your family say get you down. My mum tells everyone (even strangers) I am physically unable to have daughters lol, my body must attack them!! She has no idea but I just ignore her, in fact me and DH quite often laugh about it.

My husband didn't really understand either. I was upset last time. He thought I would be really upset this time. He didn't want to find out, but I did. I did find out and I guess I didn't act happy enough during the ultrasound, because he thought it was a boy. I was in total shock though they did say girl. He did find out within 24hrs because I slipped too many times. I do hope you hear girl at your ultrasound. I really thought the odds were against me too after 4 boys. I had the boy name picked out and even the take home outfit.

There is every chance you are expecting a little girl. I really hope you get your wish :)
I am ttc #3 also, and like you, have two boys. I'm not pregnant yet but already know what I am going to hear from certain friends/family "Only a 10% chance of a girl" Simply untrue. I believe its close to 50/50 and that swaying can only help improve those odds. That said, I know that I will be feeling the same as you if/when I get there.
Your dream is very much still a possibility.....Good luck with the pregnancy and here's to a healthy baby, whether pink or blue x

[atomic sagebrush]

That's TOTALLY not true!!! I hate it when people spread bad info. :(

Your family is lovely BTW!!

[queen-bee]

He he he, my friends (who don't know we did ht) keep saying that I should prepare myself for boy#4 because I seem to convert girls into boys in mt womb!

Thank you so much!! and this gives me hope!

[hlmcdaniels]

queen-bee.. your friends are exactly like my friends! I cannot take the comments and I am hoping it'll stop soon! And if we also do not have a girl this time we also plan to do HT, exactly the route you are going hopefully in a few years when we have some of my Dh's medical school student loans paid off:)

My husband was the exact same way last pregnancy.. he felt bad I was so upset and thinks it'll happen again, if they do say girl I will probably be shocked also, I will keep you posted:)! So glad you got your girl!!

it sounds like our mothers are similar! lol

Aw thank you so much! and I know I'm hoping it will happen!!

[black&gold]

I totally understand. I'm pregnant with #3, first two are boys and I also believe it is absolutely impossible that we'll have a girl. I don't even know what I'd do if they say girl because I've had it planned in my mind since DS2 that we'll be a family of all boys. I hate all the annoying comments about "oh, I hope this is your girl" "trying one last time for a girl?" and my MIL in relentless about telling me she's dying for a granddaughter. When my MIL found out we were pregnant she's like "ah better start praying for a girl" and I was like.. sorry, that was already decided a few weeks ago and she's like "oh noooooo, I should have been praying long ago for a girl" making it SO obvious that she won't be happy about another boy. Were totally staying team green this time because I can't handle all the annoying comments!

Ouch!! With friends like that who needs enemies?! Glad you're having the last laugh ;) lol!!

when do you find out what you are having? That sounds exactly like my mom she's all like "oh i'm hoping its your girl!" or i'm constantly asked my symptoms and they try to justify that is why it MUST be a GIRL.. ugh.. we just went ahead and told everyone we are team green to try to stop it because I would be bothered by calls/texts almost daily, it gets so annoying after a while.. Did you try to sway a girl at all? or have any Ramzi predictions for your first u/s? mine was in the wrong plane but I had 1 boy guess and 1 girl guess so of course I couldn't even do that, plus two psychics say BOY.. hoping for a girl but my hope is slightly withering away at this point=[ GL though I hope we both hear girl and have healthy babies!

I was very sad to read this. I wish your DH would be more supportive, even if he doesn't understand. Our feelings are just that, so long as we keep our actions moral and ethical, we can feel whatever we want.

I am a HUGE advocate of lying to people about the gender, either way. It is your baby, your body and its no one's business. When the baby is born, they can pry all they want, but until then, they can just shut up and wait!!!

Big hugs honey, I know exactly how you feel as DD3 was my big GD baby. #3 of the same gender is tough but you still have every chance of having a girl in there. Keep us posted, we all understand!!!!

[BabyGirl4Me]

Aww hun I could have wrote your post. I am right there with you on the anxiety. I find out Friday and the anxiety is eating me alive. DH has zero sympathy and he just laughs at me when I tell him how bad it hurts, and then tells me to go see a shrink.

I am terrified at the idea that I could be having another boy and feel like I will completely fall apart if I don't hear girl at my scan. I hope both you and I have happy endings. We deserve em. Good luck and keep us posted.

We're probably not going to find out. We did with both boys and sort of want the 'surprise'. This is our last baby so we'll see if we can hold out but I can easily see us caving too! I swayed for like 3 solid months and I ended up losing too much weight that my cycles got all messed up and I basically lost ovulation. I tried sticking to a few things but I kept getting BFN's so by the time the BFP cycle came I wasn't swaying at all. We just wanted to get pregnant so I started taking prenatals again and working out.. not exactly strictly following the girl diet. I'm sure it's a boy.. but who knows. DS1 & DS2 had polar opposite pregnancies and they are both all boy so I've stopped paying attention to symptoms or anything as I know it personally means nothing for me. I'm only 10 weeks so I haven't yet had a 12week scan so no nub to see yet! I don't even want the scan, I feel like if my picture has a nub (neither of my boys pics did) it makes things so final - even though they aren't 100%. Good luck to you.. I still think it's totally possible and really still a 50/50 shot, but it's hard to think that when others are SO annoying!!!!!

I keep going back and forth with wanting a surprise or finding out and today I am more on the wanting to wait idea..I think I will have a better pregnancy all around not knowing than to know and have GD..plus my DH wants to wait!! Ill keep you all updated either way:)

[The Anchor]

That's the worst part about GD, is that people make you feel like an ass when you talk about it. Why do we have to feel like it's taboo to talk about it? That's why this forum is here ;)

BTW I have a Harrison too :)

[queen-bee]

My plan to have next baby through ht gender section is what kept me going after I found out I was having my third son. I had this plan which required research and preparation and it really helped me to get through gd. I hope that you won't need plan B though and that your DD is on its way.

[Cauliflower]

Hi,
I will be TTC july for a baby girl.
My husband has a brother who has 3 boys, we have 2, his sister have 2 boys and 1 girl. So my MIL just hates her DILs, and yes that includes me. She has been telling people that her DIL will never experience to have daughters, bcz sons dont care abt their parents as daughters do. Well she is prod her curse is true so far!!!!
I would so much like to see how wrong she is, that we can have girls too, and her DD is not only one blessed with a daughter, which she is annoyingly proud of...
But if it is another boy...I am going to have a hard time facing her!!!!:hair: aaargh

We are planning to do the SAME exact thing if it is a boy.. when did you start you research?? I just looked into pricing nothing really more, i'm so glad my dh is on board with that route!

I started researching soon after I had my 19 weeks ultrasound which confirmed boy number 3. But his nub shot was so boyish that I knew he was a boy at 12 weeks, but I guess, I was hoping for a miracle :)
It's really great that you have DH's support. Mine was incredible too and never had any doubts that we were doing the right thing.

That said, I do hope that you'll get your girl this time. GL!
