New here and shocked...

I was the same way. I did NOT want my third to be another boy. Mine are crabby and cry a lot, terrible sleepers and one has autism. I really only wanted a girl but HT was never an option for me. I did sway...but did it wrong. I had the same thoughts as you, like my life will me miserable and such if it's a boy. Well...it's another boy and you know what all of those thoughts are gone. Even though he wasn't my dream gender he is still my baby, my beautiful bouncy baby..and I can't wait to meet him! So even feelings of doom and gloom can instantly change! Don't feel bad for feeling the way you do, we all understand your stance, but have hope that even if it's another boy for you, things could and probably will be great!

Also a super duper congrats on getting pregnant on your own!! This is a good sign that baby no matter the gender was meant to be and will hold a very very special place in your heart!

Thank you so much! Let's hope these babies are going to be very easy to handle - and healthy. We will love them no matter what anyway. Of course. But those first few years I was going through hell with my boys. I don't want to do that again. I remember begging my DH to give our DS2 away for adoption. I wasn't myself anymore. So sleepdeprived and weak and desperate...

Sounds like you have a very supportive DH!! I too am PG with a baby that wasn't planned and I wanted to sway for our 3rd. I am slightly irritated with DH as he knows I wanted to sway for a girl. I am 99% sure I am going to have another boy but... there is always a slim chance. PLUS... you have now gotten PG on your own which is completely different from your first two (my PG is a carbon copy of my first two). Low fertility definitely sways pink so I think you still have a really good chance!! I wish my DH said we could go HT for #4 if this baby isn't a girl!!

Maybe in time he is willing to go HT for you? I really hope that we will get our DDs after all. And I am keeping my fingers crossed for you for a girl this time. We can just hope and pray I guess. I could not sleep last night, I am so worried. Of course, every baby's different, but ALL of the boys in our families were crybabies. I know we will propably go HT if this is another boy. But I just don't feel like I am strong enough to be going through the crybaby-phase again.

*sigh* let's hope and pray...

Congrats Longing. It's sort of a miracle it happened for you so naturally this time round. You have to be over the moon and don't loose hope because it can well be a girl. Many perfect sways end up in opposites so if you think you ate boy friendly foods there is still a good chance its a girl. Enjoy the pregnancy, it might be the last one :-)
