Honey!! I sooo joined that club!! Over at babynub.com they actually encourage it!! Did you register ? Use your PC not your phone...it was straightforward for me but I did it on my PC. I found it great as you can private message jenaemma and she drew on my pics and said how confident she was that it was a girl, plus lovemy4 who guesses here too is a potty shot expert!! Good luck I think you will find it reassuring XxQuote:

Congrats kitkat!!! I just knew you would hear girl lovely :) So excited for you and enjoy shopping pink xoxo
Thanks ladies!! I think you guys are more excited for me than my own friends! It was so great telling my mum she cried then brought me the girliest outfit ever lots of pink ruffles!! and DH 's mum sent us a massive bouquet of pink roses. I brought a few things but I felt like I was shopping for someone else hehe!! DH (who didnt know i swayed and wanted a third boy)has been actually quite pleased and protective ever since!
I hope everyone gets their desired gender we all deserve it!!!
Team green will be so special ladies and if its a girl that would be the icing on the cake!
How are you doing eleena? I have been thinking of you, I haven't heard from queenb in a while Xxx

I am team green... but only until next Friday! I am getting super nervous for my scan. We haven't told anybody about the pregnancy yet, and I have to announce after the scan, so that just adds to my anxiety. I need to stop looking at little pink clothes.
Speaking of pink clothes... I would love to see some of your purchases KitKat!
Kitkat so pleased for u.x I am getting there.feeling a lot better physically. Just feel like it's messed everything up now as our Edd was may which would have been perfect for us.but at the moment I don't want to even think about trying again yet x
Hairbows I will post tonight! I am 100% sure its a little lady for you too but you know how nub sessed and freaked out I was!! In the last few days before the scan I just started picturing myself with another boy etc just in case and kept repeating to myself that I would love this baby no matter what! I probably sound crazy but we all know how horrid GD is!!
Deep breaths helped on the day too. Good luck I just know you will be buying pink Xx
Eleena honey my heart breaks for you, take your time you will know when you are ready to try again! Make sure those boys give you big squishy hugs!!!
Xxx

Congrats kitkat! No big surprise though;)!
I started bleeding Wednesday day. I actually felt somewhat relieved :( I knew my dates weren't off. Measuring 4 weeks behind just isn't right. I had another ultrasound today which showed an empty sack again. I should be 12 weeks pregnant:( I am hoping that since the sack was only measuring 6 weeks and a fetal pole wasn't showing up that this miscarriage will go more like a 6 week one than 12 week. But still awfully frustrating that my body would hold on for that long!!!!!
If my bleeding doesn't pick up over the weekend then I will go in Monday for the cytotec.
Good luck to everyone who has a scan soon. Wishing happy healthy pregnancies to all:)
QueenB thank you for giving us an update. I hope things are as quick & straightforward as they possibly can be.
I'm am regretting having the scan enormously. It has turned my relaxed pregnancy into a horrible obsessive stress-fest. I still have plenty of people guessing blue based on the part of the baby that looks similar to a boy nub but the sonographer said is leg. Which just puts so much doubt in my mind. Even the girl guesses start woth "IF the sonographer is right" or "I would have guesses boy if you hadn't explained..." which makes me less certain of their guesses. 100% of the guesses on babynub.com have been boy. I don't know what to think & I don't know why I care so much given I am truly fine with having a boy. And of course I feel like a cow when I know people are having miscarriages & my sister-in-law can't get pregnant.
Kitkat I totally know why you had to keep saying mantra-type statements to yourself. I am a nervous wreck & can't work out how to calm down.
I'm actually considering getting offline completely & deleting all my US pics from my phone/computer so I am forced to stop looking at them.
Primalmamma please don't beat yourself up over there. I hoped not to see a nub at my scan and not to get a picture with any hint of a nub for the same reasons. I told myself from day one that baby would be a boy and was at peace with it until my 12 week scan. Suddenly I saw hope of having a girl and became nutty. For almost two straight weeks I did nothing but stare at nubs. Comparing mine to girl and boy nubs and trying to find a similarity or difference with all of them.
We are human. And we are on this site for a reason. Nobody will judge you for gender desire here so please don't feel like a "cow."
If you need to take a break from the Internet perhaps you should give it a try for a couple of days to see if it helps, but we will be here waiting to talk. We understand what you are feeling, and it is okay. I am sending big hugs your way. Know you are not alone. I am right there with you. I'm even paying for a private scan because of it. Xoxo
Could not agree more with you hairbows!! I am so sorry if I made it worse sending you over to baby nub.com honey. Its a horrible feeling the not knowing when you had a glimmer of hope!! Taking a break is a good idea I had to do that many a time when ttc girl cause I was finding myself obsessing too much and it did me so much good.
If you do want more of an indication I personally would ask for the DVD from the scan or look into an early gender scan it would be worth every penny just to stop worrying!! You might be able to shop around and find a better price?
BIG HUGS!! Xx

Hi Girls, I've decided that getting off the forums is best for me for a while. I'm not really sure in what capacity I will do this - I might check back in once a week, or I might just stay off completely until I've had my scan. I have an apt with my GP this week to get the referral for my morph scan which I'm hopeful can be done in the week before Xmas. My midwife said they like it to be done at 19 weeks now & I got DS2's done at 18 weeks because I had a small bleed so while I was in the ED they sent me down for the scan at that point. I'll be totally devo if I have to wait until later. I'm not really worried about the result as such, I'm more hating the obsessing I'm doing. I actually now have a strong feeling that this baby might be pink... and having that hope terrifies me because up until now I had expected to have minimal gender disappointment if the baby does end up being a boy. However now I feel like I will be crushed. So I really feel like it's best for me to just focus on having a BABY - not a boy, or a girl, just a child. Once I have the results I will definitely be back on here as I love being part of this community & feel like I've actually made friends here! So as I said - I may check back in briefly here & there but I won't be around anywhere near as much until I know the gender for sure. Then I'll be back to celebrate, whether the result is pink or blue. :-)
Best of luck to everyone, see you round... xx
Totally understand primal mama! I will look forward to your update of a much wanted and cherished boy or girl!! Xxx

QueenB3blue tons of hugs through this difficult time and hoping it goes by quickly xx
PrimalMamma, I'm also obsessing and I haven't even got a scan picture yet! I totally respect your decision to go away and reflect for a bit. Sometimes we all need a little self preservation because GD ain't easy, so take your time to cherish the little bub you're growing. He or she is going to be so loved and welcomed!
I'm meant to have my scan on Tuesday evening (will be 12w 2d) but now DH will be away most of the week we need to reschedule to next week. Hopefully they will be accommodating and once all goes well, I will post a 13 week scan pic for guessing.
Hope you're all well! I've got minor headaches everyday that last all day and a very bleh taste in my mouth! :( xxx
That is perfect timing for an accurate guess!! Good luck it will be wonderful to see baby!!
Is it a sour taste? Both blessed mumma and I still have that and are both having little ladies!! FXFX
How is everyone else? Anymore scans?
Has anyone thought of names?
Xx
Scan swapped to next Tuesday at 7pm so fingers crossed all is well!
Yep kitkat it's best description is a sour taste - exactly the word...I've just chewed through half a packet of gum and it is still there ugh!! If it is a "girl trait" I'll take it though lol Anyone else have headaches? I'm not a pill popper so I just soldier on through but gosh the constant dull ache is like torture.
Can't wait to hear about more scans and how everyone else is too!! Xx
My scan is 4 days away now. Holy nervousness! I'm trying not to think about it, but that's basically impossible. I felt my first solid bump from inside this morning. 15 weeks exactly and I guess the kicks will start now. So exciting. How's everyone feeling
Ekkkk 4 day hairbows...how exciting!!! I just know you will hear girl :)
Good luck hair bows!!
Sweet mummy sorry about the headaches. I've had them with both pregnancies so don't think it's one way or the other (for me anyway). Hope they go away for you.
Now things are out in the open, everyone is happy for me and its all great but I feel really guilty for having a preference! I did before but even more so now, no idea why. Anyone else feel this way? I know I would have loved a boy but I would have been disappointed for a moment and I feel guilty for that.
Hi girls. Being off the forums hasn't helped one iota with my nubsessing. I've been up since 3am today just tossing & turning. I have no idea how to relax. The more I look at the photos the more I'm convinced. The more convinced I am the more terrified I am. I can't tell you how much I am regretting having the scan. I've contacted every nursing friend I know to find out if they know a sonographer that could look at my scans but none of them do. If that "boy nub" that probably isn't a nub but might be a nub wasn't there I don't think I would feel anywhere near as worried. I feel like I'm living in a nightmare right now - not as bad as other nightmares others may be having but a nightmare nonetheless. I'm a nervous wreck & long for the beautiful, relaxed pregnancy I was having prior to the scan. I've looked into paying for a gender scan but there is nowhere that does them where I live.
Oh my primal. I m sorry u r having such a hard time.
I know it's easier said than done...but u have to keep reminding ursrlf that boy or girl..this is it...maybe meditation may help relax u a bit???
I would just focus on the big picture of having a new baby and other aspects rather than fixating on gender...cuz in the end, it is all but a guessing game and u maybe setting ursrlf up for failure by getting ur hopes up??
I'm sorry if I'm not making sense, but these are the things that helped me
Hi Primal. I don't mean to crash your thread but I just wanted to let you know that I have always loved reading your posts and I think you have been doing such a good job dealing with this whole crazy process. Maybe it would help if you gave yourself a day or two to obsess and think every thought and do weird research and then try to put it aside for a few weeks? Or consider driving a few hrs and getting a gender scan- yes it may be over the top BUT if helps you have peace of mind for the coming weeks it is probably worth it :) I hope things get better for you soon!
Thank you Odd and Junie. My friend who is a nurse (with an emergency consultant doctor husband no less!) managed to contact a sonographer today who is confident in saying she has never been wrong & she said she felt the scans indicate boy. In some ways I feel relief. Logic says that now I can stop obsessing. I don't feel disappointed at all but (& this sounds REALLY dumb) I can't help questioning it. She said the potty shot particularly looks male. Yet I have a confirmed male and confirmed female potty shot at the same gestation & the girl one looks identical to mine & the boy one looks VASTLY different. I can't help wondering if my baby will be the first one she gets wrong.
