Any ideas on how to keep gender a secret from family until baby is born? I normally would tell but my mom is already making negative comments about a third boy. :/ She said with my luck I'll have another boy. She hasn't been very positive about this pregnancy anyway, I think because she expected me to miscarry again. I can't deal with the negativity so I'm not going to tell her the gender, boy or girl. I don't feel it's fair to not tell her but then tell my MIL so I just want to keep it a secret altogether. They both know I have my anatomy scan soon and DH has made it very obvious to everyone that he wants to find out the gender. I was thinking of maybe saying we decided not to find out? Or something like baby's legs were crossed and we couldn't tell? I don't know what to do. I just wish we could hear girl then I wouldn't worry so much about all this. :/

usay would say cord was in the way so you couldn't tell!xx
Or legs crossed.xx

So sweet BR! My 2.5 year old has been playing with his doll, pretending to feed it and put it to bed. It's so cute.
Yeah, I think saying something like baby wasn't cooperating would work although my mom might ask why I don't get an elective gender scan. The places around here aren't cheap though. I do plan on going around 7-8 months along for 3D/4D pics since I haven't done that before that far into pregnancy!

Then I would reply can't afford it and no harm in waiting.xx

I had such a scare today I been getting pelvic pain pressure. So went to get checked midwife said I was 1 cm dilated and thinks my cervix is way shorter. So I had a scan tech said I am almost at 4cm like 3.8 something but Monday it was 4.75 and last week 5. But they said it can vary. So midwife send me down to labor and delivery I freaked out I have no contractions a main Doctor came to check me my main cervix is closed she consider me closed. I mean I panicked scared out of my life!

I am starting progesterone shots to be safe. Hopefully it goes thru quick for insurance. I know w all my kids my cervix is open 1cm from start but my cervix is closed. Tech said too I'm closed and I shouldn't be worried.

That's scary princess mom. I'm glad all is OK though.


Ksmom, I would tell them you couldn't see the gender so they back off.

I had to basically yell at my mother in law. I am hoping she backs off. She is the reason I have been more private. I feel like, no I know, she feels she has a right now know everything and be overly involved because she's the grandma. But that's not the case at all. I'll share what I want when I want. It's my body, my baby. Ugh. So she's made me miserable this pregnancy.

Princessmom, usually the cervix is always a little bit dilated after having children. Do you mean your cervical length is 4cm? That sounds pretty good to me. I think that's about what mine was with DS2 when I went in for spotting around 21 weeks. I know it can be scary though. I hope everything is okay.

K, I'm sorry your MIL is always in your business. I've been private about this pregnancy too and it drove DH crazy that he couldn't shout it from the rooftops immediately. Like you I just feel like this is MY (and DH's) business but no one else's. Your MIL needs to understand that there are boundaries you have set and she should politely respect those.

Today it was around 3.8 just worried since I had it measured Monday and last Thursday and it always different. But they say it normal. Hoping doc will check me more often and progesterone shots help
