I just reached 7 weeks. I've been feeling well for the most part. I'm still holding my breath to see if this little one keeps growing. My first appointment is at 9w1d so if I hear a heartbeat then I think I will really believe this is happening!
Cassidy I hope you feel well soon.

Oh Gafan, I remember those days vividly still. I still think “oh, if I only get to **milestone** I’ll breath a bit easier. Hoping for an uneventful 2 weeks for you!Quote:

Thank you Gafan! That’s good you’ve been feeling well. I hope the next few weeks go quick so you can hear the heartbeat!
I have a midwife appointment next Tuesday and my early gender scan on Wednesday. Time is going soooo slow
So not doing great. Things are very not great with DH and I'm exhausted by his passive aggression and his resistance to therapy or any change. He was extremely emotionally abusive this week (I was just in the way of his stress, it didn't even have to do with me but he took it all out on me...)
But I had scan today...
They couldn't tell gender!!!! Tech literally said she has to write "unknown" even for the records. Baby was so stubborn we have to go back in 2 weeks to try and get the needed images on scan! Couldn't even get full cord shot, face, etc.!
I thought I saw vagina at one point but I guess that really shows how much we think we know and are wrong, since tech said she couldn't get gender shot at all? Skull looked smooth and girly to me though and I feel like surely a penis should be seen somehow?! Anyone have boys who hid the goods?
At least my decision on finding out gender or not was made for me!
Now to tackle the DH stuff... :/
TP, my DS3 was really good at hiding his stuff at my anatomy scan. Nearly the entire time he had his legs tightly crossed to the point I thought surely it's a girl because what boy would be comfy squishing his bits like that! It wasn't until the very end after jostling him a bunch that he spread eagle for the tech to see. So I wouldn't worry about what parts you saw (or lack thereof) since babies can definitely hide what they want to.
Tp sorry you are not doing great:( i hope it will be better soon with Dh:hugs::heart:
TP at my 20 week scan with DS3 the tech looked for gender and said "99% sure its a girl" then later into the scan she was like "wait..its a boy" so yeah boys can certainly hide it if they arent in an ideal position!! and if she couldnt even get the shots to check that area for the medical notes then it very much is still 50/50 for this baby.
i hope things get better between you and dh soon :heart: do you think you will find out at your next scan if they can get the gender shots or are you set on being team green after baby wouldnt show yesterday?
I really don't things will get better with him. This is all such longstanding issues, and I was just so focused on getting my son -- now I have no means to go it alone after blowing all my savings on IVF, and don't feel it's even worth staying with him at times, especially when it's looking like he is the biggest obstacle towards me getting my son.
I did a TON of Googling and saw most people who couldn't tell gender at anatomy scan ended up having girls :( In our case, it's not the cord was blocking, it's that baby was literally crouched with feet up and in a position where tech couldn't even get shot of base of spine or cord, let alone anywhere near genitals... but still, I am feeling so hopeless between DH's continued assholery and now this. All of this just to get another girl. There have been so many moments where I've thought I should have just found out sex with NIPT and terminated if girl like I always planned. But no, I was "doing this for DD" and "DH would never forgive me if I terminated."
Now I'm here contemplating being alone, truly, and wondering how I'll weather an unwanted pregnancy and labor and then 2 kids by myself, with my dream of a boy being dashed even further by being single.
I just thought life was finally getting easier. Now I'm feeling like a fool.
I was also so relieved and felt so much better that the baby wouldn't show gender even to the techs! I kept thinking, "THANK YOU!" Now I'm realizing this probably pretty much confirmed it's a girl :(
