Just giving this thread a little bump :-)

Hello ladies!
I am so pleased to find this thread exists! I'd not even looked in the due date forum cos was too scared of another loss to tempt fate, then after our NT scan last week when the sonographer showed us boy bits, I've been too depressed to see other people announcing they're getting their DG to join.
For those who haven't seen me moaning on somewhere else already, I'm Emmy, 36 (lol!), just found out I'm having DS3 due 3rd feb after swaying pink since last August. I had a pregnancy over Christmas that ended in jan when the 12 week scan showed no heartbeat. Heartbreaking, I had to have an ERPC after waiting fruitlessly for 3 weeks for the baby to come out on its own. I have no idea what the gender was and really hoped it meant I "deserved" a girl this time, but seemingly not.
I am so sad to not get my girl, I just don't know where to start getting over this. We can't afford a fourth so this really is it. My sister is due her team green second baby two days before my 20 week scan and I know it'll be her DD2 just as I'm being told I'll definitely never have even one girl. When she had her DD1, my DH told me he didn't want any more kids so her births traditionally mean heartbreak for me. I can't believe it's going to happen again.
I posted in GD that I felt I no longer belonged here cos I can't stand seeing other people's success when I've failed, and atomic suggested an opposites forum, I'm so glad it exists already and I hope we can all use it to help each other see the positives of an all boy family.

A huge hug and welcome to the thread Emmy x x
It's wonderful to have somewhere where we can celebrate our little boys but also mourn our dreams of a little girl. I hope we can help and you are very welcome here x x

Oh Emmy.....We are in the same boat. This little guy is going to be my closing chapter on the baby years and I really had hoped that I would end this portion of it clothing my baby in pink. I tease my hubby that I might just have to indulge the pink/purple desire, but really we both know it goes so much deeper than that. I never thought that I would be a mom to an all boy family.....a daughter was always part of the picture. I wish you did not have to be here...I so wanted all you longtermers and moms that have gone through loss to be given a girl automatically, that you would not have to be challenged with any lingering gender desire. (((((hugs))))
Dream...thanks for the bump!!! I think that having a safe haven for both the good and bad portion of GD is so important. No one IRL can understand or chooses to.
3boys....where are you????? Sending some hugs over to you!!!
Charlee....hope that you are healing on this week off...and that your new little man remains protected. ((((hugs))) onto you too!!!!!
AFM...today is that follow-up scan...only 4 hours away....it is such a beautiful day here, I just want to hear good news and see a cute pic of him. I will keep you all posted on the appt!!!
Hello boy mamas!!
I am so happy to have found this thread, thanks Emmy for sharing.
I am Katie and expecting my 4th boy in early Dec. I am kind of in denial regarding the gender of this baby. I can't really describe it. I look at the 20 week ultrasound and don't feel confident in the fact that it is a boy, not sure if it is because I so thought a girl was in my future(last babe) or this pregnancy has been different as well. I just wish I could accept and come to terms with it and move forward.
I absolutely love my boys and they bring so much joy to my life, and know this baby will as well.
I love the idea of celebrating our little boys.
I keep thinking I need to start working on the nursery or something, but then think what if it is a girl? Seriously, I can't even stand that I think that.
Thanks for being a sounding board for my craziness.
So glad there are others out there that understand GD.
Back and crying...the right kidney space is just a mess/mass of fluid and the tech called her radiologist and the images stumped him. The last time and this the baby was positioned oddly so while they think the left kidney is fine, we just don't know. I will have the proper follow-up appt next Tuesday at which point I will know when the next u/s. And you don't get to see a single image or pic....
Ladybugs, I pm'd you. My heart's breaking for you right now - I want to give you a big hug. I only hope next week's u/s gives you some proper answers and that your LO is strong and can overcome this. x x
Oh no ladybugs, I'm afraid I don't know the history here but that sounds really frightening. I hope the next scan will give you some peace. X
Hi Katie, glad to see you here. X
