Curious

Hey there, Im currently 32 weeks preg and have again decided not to find out gender as per previous 3 times but this time finding it awfully hard to not know especially having 3 boys.
I have googled potty shots so much that i think when i have my scans im waiting for the sonographer to scan the private parts! At 18 weeks i believe the consultant left the screen at a potty shot and I saw 3 lines and got it into my head its a girl.... fast forward to 28 weeks when i was being scanned, i saw something between the legs that looked like a penis but could have been the placenta lying between the legs ( or am i just trying to convince myself of this)
Again at 32 weeks I saw something that looked alot like a scrotum, the sonogographer was about to hover over that area more but asked if I was not finding out and quickly jumped away so it confused me.
I guess i dont know what i want to hear from u ladies 😂
Just wanted to out my thoughts down and maybe if anyone one else had comes across different parts in their scans and what the gender was..
I guess we’ll find out very soon anyways but I have another scan booked and just finding it soooo hard to not ask when ive waited so long!! Girls are everywhere and my desire for one just seems to be increasing!!

I feel for you -- I'm going on 30 weeks and also team green after finding out for DD and being outrageously depressed the whole time, so avoiding but still am finding myself somewhat depressed anyway :P

I asked this question after we had TWO anatomy scans since baby was stubborn and didn't want to know gende and saw nothing penisy, so I'm sad and feel I'm not getting my boy. Lots of people said they never could tell gender on scans, even after having multiple babies of the same sex. And couldn't you have been seeing cord?? There's a reason they don't tell gender past a certain point, as well, as baby gets so big and squished that it can obscure true genitalia! We had a boy swayer on here have a scan around when you did and didn't see anything and thought she must be having a girl. It was a boy! We've had pink swayers have girls too after swearing they saw penis!

Really hoping you're surprised with your girl! I certainly know what you're feeling right now haha

Ahhh this gender business is stressful either way!
Hope it is your boy xx
I came back from my 28 weeks and started looking at boy names straight away as convinced myself it was a penis i saw... i have conversations with myself at the time of birth when the midwife says ‘its a girl!’ THen he next second i tell myself its too good to be true so itl be ‘its a boy!’ 😂😂
I know health is utmost important especialy with my history but u cant change how u feel when u want something so bad, doesnt help when my whole family want it to be a girl and a girl name has been chosen for the past 10 yesrs 🙈
My lil boy would be amazing bro to a lil sis, i see him with a lil sis as hes so affectionate so im just angling everything for it to be a girl but I know theres every chance its a boy and i think if i have a name sorted il accept it, well to be honest i think ive convinced myself its a boy so if it turns out to be a girl, itl be my dream.

Im also Team green and im convinced it is boy. I dont want to think about it coz it makes me sad i will never have her. I need daughter so much, i wish to have relationship with her like i have with my mother and give her my mothers name Noemi. If it is girl it would be miracle and i would thank God for her till end of my life:pray:

The problem is that the later along you get, the harder it is to tell gender. There's a sweet spot for gender around 20 weeks and later than that you can think it's a boy when it isn't because of cord and swollen labia.

I feel you completely. After my history, too, you'd think I could just be happy to get ANY healthy baby, but I am still so desperate for this to be a boy. My DD also -- like me -- gets along very keenly with boys and I think would be amazing with a little brother. She gravitates to boys so much more than girls, and I know I always always wanted a brother growing up. I am so thankful and glad I have sisters, and I know DD having ANY sibling is valuable because she's been so into babies for so long, but it's hard to navigate what we want when we have others in our lives putting pressure on us -- both our kids and families!

I'm not super well versed in your health background, but if you've had losses, something that's helped me keep people from putting their own comments on me (like gender preference) is to stress how I want a breathing, living baby. I have no qualms about making people feel bad for these comments because 1. they SHOULD feel bad, they're shitty comments and 2. people need to learn that pregnancy and birth are wrapped with some very negative experiences for people.
