Congratulations on your little boy Navywife, your husband sounds lovely and even if you decide against trying for another baby at least the door isn't closed yet. I like your choice of Ryder and I think lots of middle names would go with it. What about:
Ryder James
Ryder Daniel
Ryder Joshua
Ryder Jacob
I won't be trying again if we don't get our DG, 3 kids is my limit boy or girl.
Good luck at your scan Lld2006
Good luck Lld2006.
Ruby I'm the same, won't be going again regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl.
When did the exercise advice change? I completely missed that. I didn't change my exercise habits when TTC, I never set out purposely to do exercise but I walk everywhere because we don't have a car. So I would have done gentle exercise every day. I was doing the same when TTC my two boys so I doubt it sways for me.
My scan is tomorrow. Part of me can't wait and part of me is dreading it.
Congratulations to all those who had their scans with healthy babies! Good luck to those with scans coming up as well.
I'm still 6 agonising days away from my scan but my husband and I are pretty sure that if we don't get a little lady this time, then we'll save as hard as we can and go HT for no 3. Three children is my absolute limit for our family for many reasons. The biggest one (and why I am so desperately hoping that this one is a little girl) is that I had a really traumatic birth with DS1 and almost died after delivery. This pregnancy has been very hard as I've been really anxious and have HUGE anxiety about going through labour again. If this little one is a little lady, then we'll definitely stop here.Quote:

I just know in my heart that I will always feel a longing for a little girl and I don't think I'll feel complete until I have my pinkie. Given my body probably won't stand up to having 4/5/6 kids, he's on side! If I'd had a better birth experience last time, maybe he wouldn't be given the huge cost of HT but we simply don't have the option to keep having more babies.
Hoping and praying this is a girl so this will be my last baby and I never have to worry about my health in pregnancy and birth ever again xx
Lld2006 Thinking of you today. Will be back stalking later to hear your news! xx
There is no way we could afford HT, that is a lot of money to pay upfront and there is no guarantee you will even get pregnant. I have a friend who saw I was pregnant with boy # 3 and messaged me on facebook. she gave me some tips that worked for her to get 3 girls every time. She had her husband go in a dish, they put lime juice with the sperm until the pH went down to a 3 and then she inserted it all back in her and she actually got pregnant and has 3 girls to show for it after boys. I plan on doing that with the diet for a minimum for 3 months, plus breastfeeding and I will have the mini pill which sways girl.
I always said 3 was my limit, now that I still don't have my daughter I am giving it one more shot. I told my husband this time no messing around and no unprotected sex even if I don't think I am ovulating for another 5 days!
It's a boy.
So sorry Lld2006. I can totally relate how you feel. We have a lot in common both of our other boys are born in the same years and now we both are having our 3rd boy. You can private message me if you want to talk!
