TTC - I completely understand your stress, but I just know you're having a boy. I don't think I've ever seen so much agreement on a nub shot - and didn't you say that even over at IG everyone guessed boy? Have you decided whether or not you're going to get a gender scan? I know you wanted to be team green, but I think you're going to drive yourself crazy for the rest of the pregnancy if you don't know for sure.
Mocha - yep they all said boy!!
I want to know but I am soooo scared of hearing girl and then ruining the rest of my pregnancy..
I want to but my husband is totally against it! He thinks it is a waste of money for something we are going to have to do when we have the anatomy scan anyway which is only a few weeks later. Of course he doesn't understand how consuming it is for us girls.... he says 'it is what it is and you can't do anything anyway so just don't think about it'. Easy for him! I have considered going on my own for a private scan but I couldn't go by myself if I found out boy. It is only just over 2 weeks so not long really!Quote:

Although we only see what we want to see hey!
I have GOOGLED AND GOOGLED this damn nub theory and it is only that one website that claims that theory to be true. So many people have different statistics about how true it is. I read one thread from an experienced sonographer who says there is absolutely no credit behind it and if there was they would all be learning about it through their profession. She believes she has seen so many wrong nub claims and has had to pick up the pieces from devastated parents later on in the pregnancy when the scan reveals the real gender. Anyway I just think so many are incorrect and it is just a 'theory' so we can't pin too many of our hopes on it.
This waiting just gets worse and worse as we all get closer to our gender scans!!!! :pray:for us all for the time to go fast and to get our DG!
Hope you are all feeling well :happy:
I feel like that too TTC5! I want to know but also don't want to find out another boy and be disappointed. I won't have the strength not to find out though!Quote:

I just figured that for me it was better to know so I could either relax and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy knowing it was a girl or start the healing process if it was a boy. It's a tough decision, I know - and what was right for me may not be right for you :HH:.Quote:

What I did, to avoid arguments, was send him an email explaining why I wanted a private scan - that I felt I was going crazy waiting, and that if it was a boy I needed to know so I could start accepting it and move on. He didn't give any arguments after that, though I was very careful not to tell him how much it cost ;).Quote:

Mocha what did your d/h say when he found out? bet he was over the moon aswell!
I was literally shaking going into my scan - it is TERRIFYING, I won't lie. But imagine how wonderful and relaxed you'll feel when they say it's a boy!Quote:
