    Getting my hopes up after scan

    Hi All,

    I have 6 boys and pregnant with #7 I have been telling myself throughout that this is another boy and not got my hopes up for a girl.

    Well yesterday I went for my scan I measured 13+5 and I was talking to sonographer about gender she asked if we would like a girl knowing we had 6 boys. Anyway throughout the scan we spoke about nub theory etc. She said they look for certain things but don't write anything down. It felt to me that she hinted a couple of times at baby being a girl. I asked her if she could tell me anything but she said she couldn't. My mum also said she felt like she was hinting towards a girl.
    It was a pretty long scan as baby was being awkward and we could get measurement for nuchal test. Anyway I looked for the obvious nub and skull and thought they looked girly but I didn't say anything. Anyway the pic I got was pants and no gender clues.

    She even said when I was leaving 'hope to see you at your 20 week scan to tell you your having a girl'

    I have come away and feel that I'm now getting my hopes up and also wondering if I am reading to much into it. I just don't want my hopes to be dashed.

    After lovely clear pics on the screen through the scan this is the pic we got

    Potty shots are not reliable at that gestation - but I do think she was dropping hints to you deliberately. (and it does look girly to me but that may not be accurate this early)

    For now, although I know it's hard, try to stay 50-50...but it's better than going in and seeing a big ding a ling!
