That's exactly how I felt! With the boys I just knew it was a boy, but this time I actually thought this is my girl. I remember txting my dh and saying I really want to buy this outfit because this is the first time I know its a girl. I was still waiting for the blood test results to come back. So I think there is something to your intuition!!Quote:

I am too scared to believe I can have a girl :(
I could have written this myself :) after allowing myself to hope for a few days I'm now preparing myself to hear double blue on Sunday. I bought a pack of pink babygrows last week that were so beautiful and in the sale.. now I'm wondering if I'll be giving them to someone else as a gift! I did have a very very very fleeting moment this evening tho, where I *kind of* didn't care, as my ds2(whos 3) came and kissed me on the cheek after i had been sick and said 'I make you all better mummy'. I LOVE little boys :)Quote:

Carameline, Grease and PFP, deep breath, have faith, you have 50/50 chance when you fall pregnant, when nub is girlie, chances increase, so I think all of you have a good chance of hearing girl. I know it's going to be impossible, but try not to stress too much. Thinking of you this weekend and can't wait to hear the results! x
Oh no, how frustrating not knowing for sure! What was the U/S for? I would book a proper gender scan and get them to dissect those potty shots until they came up with a satisfying result. It would drive me crazy!Quote:

Keeping my fingers crossed it was wrong though and this is your little girl. x
That's why I am beating myself up and DH too lol GD was the only reason why I didn't want a 3rd baby. I couldn't stand the thought of treating my child like I did DS#2 :( I did my duty because I had to not because I wanted too!! It wasn't until 6 months had gone by that I started developing feelings and fell madly in love with him. I didn't want to put another human being what I put my baby through :( Then I get pregnant without knowing it!! I hope it's a girl, I am praying for a healthy baby girl!! It would be devastating to hear boy :(Quote:

But it's just so frustrating to not hear the right language bc it makes me think there is a chance when I know in my heart and gut there is no chance. I have already accepted and I am excited for this new little guy, and this recent ultrasound messed me upQuote:

It is seriously so hard to distinguish intense desire with feeling and intuition.. I really struggled with that as well.. It's like my mind kept going back and forth from "this is it, it's my girl, I feel it" and then on weird days, I would say " there is no way I could ever have such luck, it is prob a boy" why does this happen !! Anyways just to back up what you guys are saying in the back back back of mind and gut I knew it was another boy, but my strong desire for a girl tried to convince me otherwise.. My gut was correct as hard as it was to admit.. All we can do is accept and keep praying that one day we will be given our miracle. And you got it! What a blessingQuote:

It's a good thing you guys decided to go HT next time. I would have if I'd had the money, but we decided it would be too costly. But it is a huge relief to have that certainty that next time you are guaranteed a little girl. I'm glad I heard pink or I would be kicking myself for not going HT as this is definitely my last one, no other chances.Quote:

MIL stood by me, cried with me, laughed with me and supported me without judging me..Not ONCE has she said to me I am a horrible person and I shouldn't be thinking like this etc how other people would have definitely done (including my own mother). She understood, she finally understood my GD and if she could understand it and support me through it then I guarantee you that others will understand!! I am seeing more and more people coming out with GD!! There was even a story on yahoo about this.Quote:

Oh gosh, didn't realize how long it was, I am so sorry :oops:
My scan is booked for next week! Wed March 12th!... Eeekk... My head is in a spin, has it grown a penis in 4 weeks? I so hope not. Intuition? I'm scared to even trust it because I've always felt I'd have a girl but each time it has made me doubt every feeling. So instead I asked my husband before the other earlier scan and he sad its a girl. The ultrasound said girl. My mind still says yeah right! lol... even if they say girl again I'll still be doubtful unless a 3D scan shows her below then I'll believe it haha
I'm sure she'll still be a girl mumto3boys! Post pics of your little pink bundle when you get them? My U/S is the day before yours, also scared my LO will grow a penis lol We must be all crazy!
Prayforprincess my appointment is at 3pm uk time on Saturday. Only 2 more nights to wait. All my pregnancies have been similar so I have no gut feeling if it's a boy or girl. I don't know if I'm just trying to protect myself with thinking its a boy so that I'm not completely heart broken. I've been sick/constant nausea for all 4 pregnancies.
Hi girls, I'm fairly new to this sight and have just finished ready all previous posts. I'm praying for all who are going in for their scans, I hope you get your girls. I so badly want a girl. I teared up on the u/s table when I was told my third was a boy. The u/s lady walked away and gave me a moment. I felt I needed to go home and have a good cry and grieve for the girl I want so badly. When I got home I didn't cry. It never came. I just think how lucky I am to have children and I will have one more go. My little boy is an angel. I have this special, hard to explain bond with him. He's such a perfect baby, doesn't cry, he's happy and smiles constantly. I think someone was looking out for me because my second was extremely difficult! I'm going ht, I'm not taking the chance of going through life without a daughter. I'm feeling scared of making the wrong choice of clinic, what if it doesn't stick, what if I get twins... Feeling so confused right now. I love the support you girls give each other. No judgement just support, it's fantastic :)
Just wondered is everyone now done having kids since most of us are on number 4? We are done but I must say it is still sad to think this chapter is going to be over for me. I know once she is here it's going to fly by....
For all of those upcoming scans I am praying for you and have my fingers crossed you get your desired gender!!
This is how I feel every time I go to the dr. They do a scan each time now and I always go in thinking what if she has grown a pee pee and is now a boy :) I have seen it but I am still not 100% believing it :)Quote:

I want to be done. I'd like to think if this was a girl I'd be done for sure but I just don't know. I don't think its so much about the desire to have a girl because I do have one I think its hard for me to close this chapter in my life. I was sure that once we got pregnant with this one this would be it but, lately I do find myself wondering about one more. Keep reminding myself I have just barely hit the halfway mark & to put the thought of another away & enjoy this moment in time. Especially since this has not been an easy pregnancy.
Really starting to feel baby move a lot more now & getting really strong kicks. Yesterday was also the first day since Thanksgiving that I had zero nausea! OMG it was amazing!!!!!!! LOL I lost a few lbs with the bronchitis I had & now since yesterday I am so hungry & cannot stop eating.
Fingers crossed for all of you with upcoming scans & praying you hear girl. I have a scan on Monday as well but I already know its a boy so I'm just excited to see him again & hoping I can get a good 3d shot to show my other kids. Have not told them baby is a boy yet but I have been working on my DD to get her excited about this being a boy, really hope she takes this well. Either way kids are on break next week so I'm taking them to Disney. Hoping that will ease any lasting GD for all of us.
I am 1000000000% DONE!!!!! No ifs ands or buts!! I can't do it anymore and traveling every 3 years is hard on its own without adding more kids to it!! I would like to be semi young when the kids are out of the house so I can enjoy life with my husband alone, just the 2 of us!
He plans on staying in this lifestyle long after he retires and it would be fun to travel together and enjoy life :)
Good luck ladies with your ultrasounds!! I'll be thinking about you. :)
We are for sure done, I still sometimes am surprised we went for three, especially my husband. We were going to only have two, and honestly if we hadn't gotten pregnant the first month of trying I'm not sure if we would have kept trying very long. This baby was meant to be! I pray, pray, pray this one makes us feel complete and is the perfect fit to our family!
Lately I've been really nervous about gender, and then I feel like an a$$ and get mad at myself and freak out that something is going to happen to this baby. I'm almost nervous because our first two babies and pregnancies were healthy (tho my first was 3-4 wks early he was healthy) and I keep hearing super sad stories about people going to in their appointment and finding they lost their baby late in pregnancy :( It breaks my heart. I can't wait until I feel this baby move a lot. I think I've felt it a few times the past couple weeks, but I kept thinking I felt a baby move after DS2 was born because I felt movement a lot so I don't know if its baby or bowels. Lol
We are not done! I always said I will have three kids, but since I found out # 3 was another little boy.. I haven't stopped thinking about having a little girl.. I can't bear not knowing the next time so we are going high tech.. I really want to enjoy this pregnancy and not be thinking about my next one being a girl. So I will do that..
Any of you with three of same gender .. Can you share your experience and thoughta after # 3 was born.. Did you get over the GD? Did you start swaying or trying for a girl?

Gosh, I could have written your post word for word. Still haven't felt the baby move and I keep having nightmares about going in on Wednesday and given the dreaded news that baby stopped growing :'( And then I get mad at myself for ever wishing this baby was anything BUT healthy :(Quote:

So, we changed our minds and decided to go for number 4, but knowing all along the desire came more from me than DH, he was more than happy with just our toddler. I also tossed between yes and no for a year before deciding, I knew that if I could guarantee a girl the decision would have been much easier, but HT was out of the question for money reasons, so I took a leap of faith, and it paid off and I'm very happy, but it is definitely my last one.
I have a question, do your little girls move less than the boys? I am 20 weeks now and even though I feel a few flutters and stirring, my boys were more active in the tummy, or is it still too soon to feel the real knee/elbow push? I can't remember. It just worries me sometimes cause she seems to be so quiet! I use a doppler everyday to hear her heartbeat, so I know she must be fine, but it worries me not having a little contortionist in there like my last boy was (the other 2 I can't remember much, too long ago).
I don't really feel anything but then again last time my placenta was in the front and not sure if it moved at all for me to be able to feel him/her
Don't say guaranteed. With HT there is NO guarantee. Look at me!Quote:

But there is a loooooooong if-y road before that happens. I tell everyone, and in both my experience and many many others - if you can't afford to do ht at least 2x - then I would not recommend it at all. The 1st one is always nearly a trial with you to begin with. Your doctor is not going to know how you will respond to the stims and therefore be very conservative. Many and most do not have success with try #1.
I thought because I was young and could get pg so easily on my own that going ht would be a for sure thing. There was no way I ever imagined it wouldn't work and I could possibly have a boy - after ds3 I knew my 4th would be a girl because I was going ht. But as you can see that just was not so.
Just because you are healthy and get pg on your own, does not mean you will have good embryos going ht.
It really a hard hard road - I can't even begin to explain. And I would talk to someone who's walked down it and really really know what you are walking into before beginning that journey because it can be utterly heartbreaking.
I'm done done. This pregnancy I have felt so miserable and sick and depressed - I told my dh, boy or girl we are done. I don't wanna be pregnant again.
I will just have to cherish babyness for the last time this time!
Unless we have an oops -- I am done with 4!
So lets tally scans this week:
Gpkm: Saturday
Carameline & prayforprincess: Sunday
Greasemonkey & Mumto3boys: Wednesday
Have I missed anyone??
And we are ALL looking to hear pink!!!
Aidansmum I really do think it is more about each child than gender. All 4 of my other kids were MUCH more active earlier on than this one. I am just barely feeling baby now(I'm just about 20 weeks) & yesterday was the first real good kick that DH would've been able to feel if he was home. I know that this child tends to stay very balled up & has always seemed to move away when I try to hear heartbeat. DH & I were just talking about all of this yesterday & I told him I think we might finally have a calm easy baby I'm sure your little princess is probably the same & just really calm & mellow. I guess we should hope that these LO's stay that way & don't become wild & crazy nonsleepers once they are born! LOL!!Quote:
