Due in December/January/February 2013/14

Thanks for all the input, ladies.

Would love to hear from you girl moms, too!

Tree - Was it on the boy side in the pic, or on the screen? Mine was very high on the left of the screen, which in theory should be my right side. She printed out two pics, & they were mirror images of each other! But on the screen itself, baby was on the left. I think that's why I feel so discouraged! But if the screen can be flipped, too, then I should probably just relax! Well, I guess I should relax regardless, but it's hard!

Right on the scan and the pic. And I ovulated from the right. But as I said found heartbeat on the left. Scan lady said she couldn't tell which side the baby was actually on.

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is feeling well. I haven't been on in awhile due to my boys keeping me super busy and being utterly exhausted! Have my NT test today-baby measured 13.2 and Dr. predicted GIRL!!! Tech gave me a good nub shot on screen which was long, flat, and slightly forked but unfortunately she didn't print it:( Now I can't wait for my anatomy scan!!! Really hoping the Dr. was right!

Smiley awesome news! Bet she is right

Just booked an early gender ultrasound for 16 weeks:-) I can't believe how impatient I am lol!

I was reading the birth notices in our local paper looking for boy names and saw a big one which had 4 boys first then this was a girl they thanked dr potter in USA for helping to have her ! My family friends would be ok about high tech but I wouldn't tell strangers as some still believe its 'playing god' that's why it's illegal here in Australia . I'd do it if I had the money though !

Dh's mum has been so at me to have a girl, that if its a boy I feel like announcing to her by saying "well we are happy, but you probably won't be, it's a BOY". But then I know I'm not that gutsy in real life. In my head its such an awesome comeback for all the pressure she adds. Sigh.

LOL i love it! It is so horrible that we are having to think about how we are going to break the news to other people when it is only us, our DH and our children that we should really have to think about.

A friend of mine announced that she was having DS3 from the word go. Se just said that is what we make:) she confided in me (she knew we were oohing and ahhing about a 3rd) that she would have loved a girl but just couldn't deal with any comments so cut everyone dead with its a boy. It was a boy and i never heard anyone say anything other than congrats to her. She is amazing upbeat about life in general and is ecstatic with her baby but i just thought it was sad she had to prepare herself and others this way.

We found out at 16 weeks that ds3 was a boy. I couldn't bare the comments do told everyone we were team green. When we announced his birth, he was so beautiful and had a lovely name so all the comments were really positive. No one irl bar my best friend knows how much I want a girl. I enthuse every day over my boys and say I'd love more boys (which is true, would just like a girl in the mix). I think if you are really positive about it being a boy then no one can really make any negative comments or they look like a tube. I think as soon as you act a bit apologetic or defensive about it people can be a bit more negative, so I would just be as proud and as happy as you can be x

Smiley13 I was the same booked my scan so long ago!

Ooo ladies I have 4 more sleeps to go till I find out who was chosen to be tucked away inside of me! Rather nervous Ive had alot of boy guesses but my twin thinks its a girl! All shall be revealed on Thursday! Eeek..

DS1 was quite low, I never felt a kick in the ribs ever! DS2 was a lot higher and I was always getting rib kicks! I had complete opposite pregnancies so for me I just can't go by symptoms anymore! My friend had a boy first and is due with a girl any day now and both have been so low.. the girl has been probably even lower! From all the friends who have had kids I feel like this is one of the least true OWT's! Hope you hear blue!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear your news :)
