Once we know there still will be some comments I am sure but it will be much easier to deal with than the "what if they are right" going through my head.

Sounds like my monster in law, when i was pregnant with my 3rd, I was about 17 weeks (christmas eve) and made a comment I was tired, the response I got was 'how are you going to cope with 3 if you cant cope with 2?' !!:omg::omg: and my mum said she wont babysit if we have anymore, but i wanted another baby, boy or girl (hubby wants girl more bless him) so just means we lose a babysitter im not fussed, my life my choice :cheer:

I find the more children you have the less help you get. It's as though you have to prove to people that you can cope. You can't mention being tired as someone will say "well it was your choice to have so many kids!". You can get tired with just one! Also the stupid gender comments. I had to tell my mum off. "What will you do if it's another boy?". I suppose I'll do what I've done every other time. Pray it's healthy, cry for a few days and then prepare to receive my final addition into the family! I'm determined to enjoy all aspects of this pregnancy (if all's well) this will be the last time I'll be doing it. Horrific morning sickness has always kicked in at 6 weeks for me. Although I dread it a small part... Very small part of me is looking forward to having it as it's a good sign that the pregnancy is strong. Try to think positively about it girls when you are feeling rough!!! Ha ha! ��

I too am going to hide this bump as long as I can. We really aren't in a financial position to be having more kids now, I will finish school in a 2 years and be better off, but I am pushing 40 and its now or never with babies. We already have girls and get bombarded constantly about "why don't you have a boy?" "Are you trying for a boy?" We have had the slew of nasty comments for years and I.DON"T.WANT.TO.HEAR.IT this time!!!

We will find out the gender ASAP and then decide how/if/when to share it.

Me+4...keep us posted, hope its nothing.

Congratulations Adia!!!
I am very happy for you!
I hope everything works out at the end and you have a healthy, beautiful baby boy in your arms :luck:

Thanks everyone!

Did most people sway pink? I (lightly) swayed girl. My DD was born with a rare illness, and I thought it would be nice for her to have a sister to confide in. She has some scarring and has a long road ahead. But I have a gut feeling this might be a boy, so in order to get myself excited I already picked out a name :)

Congrats kasey and Aida.

Me+4, I agree with the above posters, it's probably nothing, but worth a call to the ob or midwife.

It is so interesting that so many people have experienced such negativity from others regarding gender and being pregnant. This will be my second and most people close to me know I swayed for a girl, so all I hear now is "oh, I'm sure it is a girl", so I guess I will see what people say if we find out it is a boy. But for now, I'm trying to enjoy the fantasy of my daughter.
