Daughter after 3 sons

... I'm 19 weeks, had harmony and 2 gender scans (went for rescan as i still couldn't believe it!) all 3 said girl. I've been buying pink, much earlier than i ever bought for my boys. I think i usually wait til 20 week scan. But it still doesn't feel real! I feel as if I'm "playing" pretend! Not sure if it's because i still have the big health check scan to go and I'm sacred. Or if i think she will have turned into a boy lol!! I do believe she's a girl... I just think if they said boy it wouldn't surprise me (although now she's so close it would break my heart). I just wonder if it'll take til birth to believe it? And its maybe just the scan being 8 sleeps away, I'm worried that they find something to shatter our dreams.

Just a wee vent post ;) xx

I think I would feel the same way if I heard it was a girl. :)

Congratulations!

I was the same way with my first daughter. It was a horrible feeling. And no one understood, they all just thought I was being silly. Apparently I was, because she is in fact a girl and is 2.5 years old lol. But I do know how you feel.

Thanks girls xx

def felt the same! I didn't buy anything for quite a while. I wasn't doubting it was a girl, I just was convinced she was going to die and didn't want to ahve to get rid of a big bunch of stuff (sorry for melodrama, I really did feel that way though!) :p

I was same as atomic. Convinced something was bound to go wrong and I would never actually take home a real live baby. Infertility etc had messed with my mind. And I was like that for both pregnancies. With my twin boys - by the time I reached the point I was ready to concede they might actually make it (about 30wks). I was too big and uncomfortable to walk around to do any real shopping and had to just buy stuff online. With my HT DD, I knew she was a girl from the start but I still held off buying anything. I was constantly imaging the worst. And I nearly did lose her at 28wks when a severe back injury threatened to send me into full on labor. Thankfully with minor surgery and bed rest she stayed in till 36wks.

Buy, enjoy and try not to worry. I wish I had been able to!!

I'm the same as Matilda and atomic. I feel like I've seen enough evidence that it is a girl even though it's hard to believe! But u am worried something will go wrong!!!

So I'm perfectly "normal" then ;-) Trying to be positive. Just as my pink "stash" grows and 20 week scan approaches, the nerves are kicking in. Thanks again everyone xx

I felt the same way with DD1. I had the MaterniT21, then a gender scan, then the anatomy scan, then a 32 week 4D scan. I didn't buy anything until after my 4D scan at 32 weeks. I thought I would jinx it or that something would go horribly wrong. I still feel a little that way with this one but I think that is mostly due to an anterior placenta and not being able to feel her move. You are perfectly normal:) Other people don't understand and I never really talked about with anyone except for DH who just made me feel even more crazy.

Right there with ya! I haven't even dared to buy anything girlie just in case at my 20 week scan next week they say just kidding BOY! I haven't dared tell anyone that I'm actually terrified for them to tell me boy after telling me girl. I will feel better...."hopefully" after the 20 week scan. :)
