I’m not looking forward to telling them but they live about 10 mins drive from us and we see them every weekend so it’s not exactly going to be a secret.

Wow so sorry your parents are so negative and will make you feel bad. My mom will be happy but I still choose to keep it a secret. She only lives 10 min away too and we see each other often but last time I didn’t tel her till 22 weeks and this time I am going to sit as long as I can again. I am 10 weeks now and we have not told a single person. We will wait till we know gender and then tell a few people but the bulk will wait till after 15 weeks or more. I am really am sorry your parents make you feel this way.

Viola, I’m so sorry your parents will be disappointed. We are all very excited for you! And I’m happy your DH family is excited and supportive.
Hi canadamommy! Congratulations!! Praying for a sticky pink bean for you! My youngest DD birthday is August 19! Her due date was the 22nd.

Last week I was in the attic and saw al the boxes of my daughters baby clothes and I may never get to use them again and that almost brought tears to my eyes. I also feel guilty since I already have a girl and there are so many ladies who have lots of boys and just want one girl.

there is every chance this is a girl i really hope it is, oh believe me if i had known about swaying i would have swayed for my first just like you did and if i could have chosen my family in advance id have chosen a big all girl family no doubt, just because you have 1 girl doesnt mean your gd is any less than someone who has no girls, some women are totally happy with a mix of genders as long as they get one girl in the mix while others desperately want a single gender family. You guys are naturally quite pink friendly arent you? (im trying to remember your posts from dd1) im sure it was you who seemed quite set for pink even without the sway :) tell me if im wrong though!!

On a happier note DHs parents were pleased and said they were praying for us to have another child and were just waiting for us to be ready ourselves.

I hope ur mom comes around sillyginger , im sure she will and theres always us to support you if you like [emoji1]

And definitely don’t read into hcg numbers it really doesn’t mean anything at all

oh no im sorry they responded that way :( i was also "too young" in my families eyes when i had my first and then there was the horror of me having more but now i think they've just given up!! we dont announce till after the birth, i dont want the stress!! is there any chance they will be pleased baby is a boy? or is gender not a factor for them.

RG, I’m so excited for you and hope you hear girl!!
4blue2pink, I hope your nausea goes away soon. That’s miserable.
Girliecat, I hope you hear pink too! Not long for you either! I’ve been hit with the opposite feeling too. It’s not fun. I didn’t think I would be too upset, but I can tell now I would be.
Welcome, 3littleladies! I think you were in our TTC group!! Praying this is your boy!

My hcgs continue to be pretty darn high. 610 at 15 dpo then 1264 at 17 dpo and now over 12,000 at 21 dpo. Now I’m nervous it’s twins. I know you can’t go by your numbers but that’s pretty high from all the googling I’ve done (would someone please take my phone!!!!!!???) and I can’t help but be discouraged about what I’ve read about girls making higher hcg.

no offence to your mum but she should go and "process this" privately while still Congratulating you, its not like you told her she has to have another baby, this is your child and she should be happy for you :( i hope she comes round and gets excited soon :)

PUT THE PHONE DOWN haha seriously levels arent an indication of gender if it were reliable itd be used as a gender tool by now, twins i guess would be higher? though im no expert, perhaps your in for a double blue surprise ;) though if your dr thought twins they'd of said something wouldnt they?

Hi canadamommy :D sorry for the block posts everyone im trying to keep up but im asleep here (uk) when most of the posts go up!!

Ha! I wish I would’ve thought to tell her that! I was just kind of shocked at first. She literally jumped up and down when my cousin announced that she was pregnant. I won’t be sharing a bunch of info with her about this pregnancy that’s for sure.
From what I’ve read twins Can have average, high, or low hcg, but higher hcgs can be an indicator, but definitely not a guarantee. My great aunt on my mom’s side has identical twins and my husband is an identical twin, but I don’t think identicals run in families. But, I’m ancient so I guess it’s a possibility. I have an ultrasound scheduled for next Tuesday. I’ll keep y’all updated.

let her get on with it, its not worth any stress on your end, if she wants to miss out by being negative then she can do.. i am sad that she is taking away from this experience for you by being this way though, we are all excited for you :D are you doing NIPT for gender or scan?
