I am trying really hard to stay optimistic. But it is so hard when you hear those words " I think this baby may be a boy". It just has really gotten be down since then. I have been bawling and asking God why. I did have a good prayer, and I have asked God to help me stay positive and to please let me hear girl at my next ultrasound. I go for my prenatal appointment May 20th. So I believe they will schedule my scan at that one. I am telling myself not to freak out until I am told 100% and get a picture in my hands.

Another possibility (I usually hate doing this in case I give people false hope) is that they can confuse swollen girl parts for boy parts especially if they are inexperienced.

I've been feeling so positive and then today have had a few comment, sympathetic noises and people being smug, flaunting their baby girl and assuming I must be devastated. Of course you all know that I wanted a girl and was very upset at one point after my 12 week scan but I am happy with another boy. But after their comments I've started feeling like I need a girl, I'm meant to have a girl and I need to sway my butt off for another baby. And then feel that it would be hopeless anyway because I still wouldn't get a girl.

Me too, I seen it before the tech, but I am like you I am starting to clutch at straws, could the parts of been swollen?? I know not but wouldn't it be great if next time I go they say we made a mistake!!! SIGH

Hi. I'm due on October 24, 2013. I have happy news that my Harmony blood test came back good.. less than 1 in 10000 chance of having an issue (tests trisomies 21, 18 and 13) and this is the best result possible! I will turn 40 this August so my odds of being at risk were greater. My husband and I had a good feeling but we are so relieved. The test is 99.9% accurate. :running:

COngrats on your healthy baby! :)

Yes! I am proof f that! With dd1 I was told boy up until 7 months!! Dh was so happy but I would always tell him it's a girl their wrong lol.....I had a gut feeling. So to end the arguments we schd a 3d at 32 weeks and it was a girl!!!! I'm kinda hoping the opposite would happen this time lol told girl at 15-16 weeks

Congratulations! I love that these tests now exist and hope they become available to all that want them. Did you find out gender also and were you hoping for a certain gender?

I REALLY like the name Seth, I think it fits well with the other boys names and sounds nice when I say it along side his middle and surname.
I asked the boys today if they liked the name after DH said he liked it "and can't think of anything else" (not the enthusiasm I was after) DS1 and DS3 both said they liked it but DS2 said he didn't. He wants to name the baby Sin Cara after a wrestler. I asked if Sin Cara wasn't an option (because its not LOL) if he would like the name and he still said no.
DH says its not DS2s name, he likes his own name so thats all that matters, and we should use it if we want to. But i don't want him to feel I've excluded him or ignored his in put. Everyone who I've mentioned the name to so far has liked it.

I like the name Seth and googled it with WWE to see if anything came up. It appears there is a wrestler named Seth Rollins who from what I can tell is a "bad guy" so that may be his resistance to the name. Although it would be nice to have all kiddos good with the name, I think it is probably something that means more to you then him if you kwim.

Ruby and Navywife I am glad your scares ended up to be scares only and that everything is ok with your little ones. I went through one with ds2 and that waiting is the worst.

DOes anybody have a scan coming up this week and when is everybody elses? Mine is MAy 22. I cant wait to see everybodys updates and see what the stats are! Good luck ladies with your scans and good luck with the ladies that are waiting confirmations! I hope there are a coupl of surprises still out there! KEeep hope alive ladies!!!! :)
