Driving myself mad... 38wks

Hi all, thanks for reading.

I am nearly 38w pregnant with baby number 3 and have two boys already. This baby was a complete surprise- I got my cycle all wrong and my first thought was it's def another boy- how will I cope. I want a girl so badly.

We didn't find out as I felt I couldn't cope with 'knowing' it wasn't a girl but I do know- I have spent months googling symptoms- bump shape etc and thing I think I saw at the 14 wk scan and generally driving myself mad. I am utterly convinced this baby is a boy.

My husband knows I want a girl and has eventually agreed to HT for number 4 next year but it won't be easy for us (we live in UK). I just feel so alone and sad, I love my kids so much and I wouldn't change them for anything, I just want a girl baby :(

Anyway, thanks for reading xx

Dear Maidavalemum,

First of all i think it's very brave that you managed to spent the entire pregnancy without knowing the gender.
So, since it's almost time you have your little baby in your hands, I wish you the best for having a healthy baby and just enjoy this time with your baby cause it anly happens once :flowerz:
I think that bottomline is that we all have healthy babies at the end of the day. And who knows maybe you will have a pleasant suprise :fingers:
Just relax and remember that everything happens for a reason, even if you can't understand them at first.

Just wanted to wish you luck for your final couple of weeks and i hope you get a pink surprise! I hope you enjoy your final 2 weeks of your pregnancy. Please update and so don't worry about bump shape it honestly means nothing! I was all front with ds1 and all over and round as a barrel with ds2! Lol

Thank you! It is so silly as I know I am looking everywhere for 'signs' and I will find them even if they don't exist! Thanks again both of you x

Hi Maidavalemum,

Also I wanted to tell you that you were really brave to wait so long. I really hope you will have à good surprise and if not, I am sure you will love your baby and the sister will come in a year;-)!

I am doing the same thing as you. I decided I didn't want to know the sex and have stuck to my guns both ultrasounds. But I drive myself nuts everyday. I've stalked every thread you can imagine. Im 33 weeks so I have 6 weeks left before we find out even though I'm convinced it's a third girl. I won't get a chance to have another but I will just have to accept what I get. I know exactly how you feel. :(

Update? Hope all is well
