That being said, I've been feeling REALLY down lately. I don't know what it is, but I have a strong gut feeling this baby is a boy. It started right after I booked the early scan - it sort of made me panic when I realised I'm going to know in a few weeks whether I'll ever have a daughter. I've experienced GD before - I swayed unsuccessfully with ds3 and was gutted when I found out he was a boy. It would be waaaaay worse this time because I know there's absolutely no possibility of ever trying again. I'm just scared to death of having to face the knowledge that I'll never know what it's like to have a daughter.
If I thought it would make me feel better to cancel the scan, I would, but I think that would make it worse. I've already moved into GD mode anticipating hearing boy - I don't want to spend the whole pregnancy in limbo like this. I need to see the penis myself so I can make peace with it and try to move on.
Sigh...sorry to be such a downer, ladies - especially when I don't even know the gender for sure yet. I blame the pregnancy hormones.
