You have all been very helpful and sweet. I am embarrassed to have admitted that for all of the obvious reasons. I appreciate your post and know that I will come around and love either gender baby I believe it is pretty likely that we are having a boy and I do think all of you have seen enough nubs that you are experts. Thank you so much. I will update.
Looks boyish. I want a girl for my first so I completely understand your preference.
I'm thinking boy, too. Maybe the next scan will prove us wrong! x
I also guess boy. If you are disappointed know that is normal & it won't last. I was completely devo at the thought of DS3 being a boy, now I'm super excited about being an all-boy mum! He is due in 7 weeks & I wouldn't swap to a girl now even if I could!!
Thanks so much. I have faith in all of you and am quite sure you are right. We will be thrilled with either it's the initial disappointment that I know will change very soon.
Congrats to you! That's what my mom told me about our family. We are a family of three sisters. My mom told us when she found out my second sister was a girl she was upset but thought it would be nice to have two close sisters. Then when she had my other sister the tech asked what she had at home and when she said two girls the tech said she was unsure (at 20 weeks if she can really see) was stalling quite a bit and then finally asked if she really wanted to know. She finally said 100 percent girl. She went out crying and told my dad how upset she was. Almost immediately she changed her mind and also said she would never change three girls for anything else. Thank you so much and best to you too
Are the 3d scans safe at 14 or 15 weeks through private companies safe and will they be able to confirm gender?
You're from an all girl family and it's all you know, it's only natural you wanted a girl. But you will get used to being a boy mom and you will love him with all your heart. Remember that children need the exact same love from their mommy regardless of their gender, they need the exact same amount of cuddles and encouraging words, whether they are boy or girl. I went through GD 3 times, but I love my boys so much, I couldn't live without them. You will be a great mom. I think you are taking this really well already, keep it up!! <3
And yes, private scans at 14-15 weeks are safe and will be able to reveal gender! GL!
Completely agree with Claire. I'm from an all girl family and now we all produce grandsons and they are gorgeous. I get so proud when I imagine our future together. Now they are tiny and cuddly, but one day they will be tall and big and we will have to look up to them. Gives me a warm and proud feeling, you'll get there xx
Thank you all again!!!
