Yes - I think we all feel this way...at least until we're holding our new wee one in our arms. When I was deciding whether or not to try again, several people told me 'you might regret a child you didn't have, but you'll never regret a child you do have'Quote:

You guys need to stop this, if anyone's sway did not worked that's me. I also think it's a girl but I already swayed twice , right?
hobber -you know you can have a boy ! What ever you saw on the u/s don't count because you are just to early for a nub guess! You know it still rising and it could have been leg bone , cord ect. You just said you not even good at guessing , girl!
Cheer up! Just because you feel girl that does not mean girl for sure! I was sure DD3 is a boy and she is not huh!
hobber you still post pics, right? We love to see baby pics!
I agree - bring on the baby pictures!! :HH:Quote:

I totally understand how you feel...but let's jsut say this baby is a girl...what if she goes on to do some amazing things and then you can look back and think, wow I'm really glad I got pregnant then even tho it was rough on the family...sometimes I honestly believe we have ideas in our head for a reason, and even if it doesn't come to fruitition the way we WANT it, eventually we see that it was worth it, or we understand why it didn't work out our way. I believe in all my heart that if this baby I'm carrying is a boy then he was meant to be here, and even if my heart longs for a girl, he was the person that God wanted to be here instead, and I have to learn the reasons why.
Not to get preachy like that, actually I haven't been to church since I was a teenager, but i just believe that lots of things are still a mystery to us humans and we are not always meant to understand everything. I believe the world can be wondrous and then can be very cruel as well.
Mocha, I still feel 150% your baby is a girl. I just feel it very deeply that it is true! If coldwater gave you 85% then I think that sounds good. I don't know whats better or worse to be honest with you....I am going into this *trying* (that being the operative word) of staying positive and really enjoying and relishing the idea that I could have a daughter, and all the purples and lavenders I'd buy for her, etc, all the things we could do. If I hear boy at 19 weeks, THEN I'm going to deal with my feelings then, once I know for sure. I don't know which way is better, getting prepared to hear boy before you even hear it (or I dont' think you will hear it), and feeling antsy and lost about it being a boy, or living in La-La Land like I am doing.
I don't know! I hope we both have girls so we don't have to find out! But on the same token, I dont know why this is so important to me, but I really, really don't want to experience what I did with DS2. If this is DS3, I realy want to feel happy and excited and at peace with my new little man. I long for that experience of being pregnant and not feeling bummed out to hear boy...because I was bummed with both DS1 and 2, though obviously they mean everything to me now. I guess it's like I'm seeking closure and I long for that happy, I am over the moon excited pregnancy I can't believe I'm having a girl!!!! feeling.
Anyway sorry for the novels I keep writing today, but these are my thoughts about all of this. And TTC5 I feel like you've got a boy just like I feel strongly about Mocha having a girl. And Hobbers, I can't get a feeling on you because you keep saying you feel it's gonna be a girl and I go back and forth about my predictions on what you'll be having.
Flava, grats on the Apple Seed!
Awww thanks ! They grow like crazy huh? No feelings about my seed?lolQuote:

So far I have these feelings:
TTC5- boy
Mocha -girl
Purplepoet - girl
She is already known to confirm a girl, but when I read happyheart's sway, it really spoke to me and I felt it real deep that she was having a girl, and then once it was confirmed, I felt good that my deep gut feeling had been right!
There was a swayer who I won't name who is pregnant with a boy tho she had swayed girl, and so when she heard boy, i felt for her, becuz I know how bad she wanted a girl, but I was too chickent to share my feelings before she found out because I didn't want to upset her.
I tell my husband all the time about it. He just thinks I get lucky with my gut feelings! Of course, I don't always get it right, I have been pretty concivnced of some here and there that did have opposite of what I felt, but I'm pretty good at sussing out my feelings, but I really need to focus to get an answer.
I know this sounds hokey, but it's something I've developed in months of being here. The other thing that can cloud it is desire...if I desire a person too badly to get a DG, I can be blinded by that, just like I cannot trust my own gut feeling about this baby because of desire. For the record, I will say that my gut feeling is that i'm carrying a girl, but i find it hard to trust that instinct because of desire.
Flava, when I feel something, I'll post it or PM you. I am trying hard to suss out my feelings for you and a few others, but some of ya'll are so newly pregnant I haven't gotten it yet.
Flava, did you post your sway yet? I don't see it in the boy section. Was going to read over it and mull it around and see if anything came to me.
