Anyone else slightly scared to get pg again?

[missmegrn]

As most of us have seen, there have recently been a few gender sways that have turned out opposite. My heart breaks for them. The more I see these opposite turn outs, the more I doubt my current swaying plan, and the more scared I get to get pg (although I desperately want to be pg), because I fear I will end up having a 3rd girl when/if I do get pg. It's not that I wouldn't love a 3rd girl, its that I desperately want a boy and I fear that I may never get him. Anyone else scared or apprehensive?

I totally felt like that when i swayed for dc3. I desperately wanted to get pg but at the same time was really scared to get pg. All you can do is try your best and then hope and pray. I will add that ds3 is my world and 3 of the same are wonderful and i truly never thought i could feel like that :)

The thought of 3dds makes me nervous, but obviously to have a shot at what I want I need to get pg and take that chance. When/if I do get pg, it will most likely be my last and I know that more than likely I cannot afford to go HT.

I'm not scared, I'm terrified.

Although I know in the long run I will be fine with either gender, in the short run, from BFP to gender scan, I'll be a disaster.

So while the angst of getting pregnant will be gone, the paranoia at the gender will be exhausting....

yeah Im scared, not so much of the gender but having 3 is such a big step from 2. At the moment we can get hotel rooms for 4, holidays for 4. can fit everyone in our car etc..its a huge financial change. I am scared of it being 3 boys but im so broody that I actually am hoping I will deal with it ok xxx

I'm so scared that I have decided to forget TTC for a couple of years and pretend I am done so as not to think about it when deep down I know I am not done. I am really scared to get another boy cos my DP seems to only be able to make them and I have three children which is all I ever wanted so am only willing to go one extra to try and get a daughter so it will be my only chance. No way do I want 5 kids. I can't imagine what I will be like waiting to know the gender, so it's nice that I do not have to think about it for quite a while.

In saying that, when I see heaps of succesful sways I feel confident which is why I hang around here I suppose

i have 4 sons and only really feel really scared about TTC this time around... like Adia i know in the long run i will be fine with which ever gender but the moment you fall pregnant its always those 1st 12+ weeks that drag and the scary 1st and 2nd scans.

This is so very true. I'm sure from the moment I get my bfp until the moment I know what I am having, I will be a wreck. Probably doubting my sway, thinking how the heck 3 kids is going to balance out, and being scared of having a m/c. I know in the end, what is meant to be, is meant to be and I will be okay.

Before you get a bfp you still can sway things a bit. After, everything is set in stone! I'm scared to get pregnant, I'm scared I can't get preganant...I'm terrified of everything. Sigh.

I am currently pregnant with my 3rd and had the same thoughts. I am scared that my sway has failed and that I will have a 3rd daughter. I have such a strong apprehension that it will be another girl and I am not sure how I will hope. I am terrified of being a failure.

If I had a crystal ball and could see that I would be having a 3rd girl, I probably wouldn't have gotten pregnant. I think my apprehension of three girls comes from a period of time when my female cousin lived with my sister and I when we were small and it was just awful.

On the other hand, I saw a little boy being mean to my daughter at the park this morning and I decided that I really didn't want a boy.

I am sure I will be fine with whatever will be, but the waiting game makes me feel sick.

[RKT Mama]

I was absolutely petrified. But if you don't fall pregnant, there is no chance of getting your boy, if you do, you have at least a 50% chance of success, even if you do nothing else.
And a 100% chance of a baby who you will love regardless even if you don't like that you didn't get your dream gender.

[sbowman]

I feel like that sometimes too. Too many what ifs. :/ I just wish I could know for sure what the outcome will be.

[grace03]

I was too scared to get pregnant again and use my last chance at a daughter after 3 boys and I was almost going to let dh get the snip. next thing im pregnant! universe has decided for me I don't know what im having yet and im scared of my feelings if it's a boy but I also feel blessed to be having one more... such a mixture of feelings argh.....

[jacquelineh]

I'm already dreading the gender ultrasound and I'm not even pregnant yet, nor even TTC again for another month or two. I really want a DD2, but if it's a boy, I wish I could just know already that it will so I can start being OK with it. The waiting is so hard.

i have major baby fever but am scared to have another boy. I love my son, but I yearn for a daughter next.

I sure am I've been doubting myself and have had a fw arguments with my dh when I tell him "let's just keep it this way" he gets so upset, but I know I would be upset in the longrun for not even trying. All I can do is pray and leave it and God's hands. I can only give it a try at swaying (it won't hurt to try)...just makes me nervous as heck! lol

[gurly]

I am kinda nervous. Nothing is guaranteed
