Augh....Rosie. That's my fear. I will absolutely love and adore my child but giving up the dream of NEVER having a girl in the delivery room seems terrifying. It's the word NEVER that triggers by GD if that makes sense

Yup! Same here...this is it for me. We are done. Never having a girl scares me and i dont want strangers thinking i dont love my boy if that is what comes out. I will love him to pieces but i will need to miurn the loss of never having a daughter.
I'm the same. I don't want to even tell my family (if I can help it) until I know the gender. I want to wait, but I don't at the same time; and my hubby WILL want to know.Quote:

Rosie me too - this will be 5 for me, if I'm fortunate enough to make it work; it will be the end. I don't need the snarkiness or judgement of anyone either and I KNOW I'll have GD....

I will say that not telling a soul I was even PREGNANT until I knew gender with my final pregnancy was a godsend to me. Even though I had an inkling at the 13 week ultrasound it was very far from a sure thing, and it really, really was a lot more peaceful going into that ultrasound at 18 weeks with no pressure on me at all. My husband didn't come to that one and I felt like that helped. Having him there with DS 3 and 4 I feel like it made it more stressful (to me, maybe others might feel differently) and I was able to have my reaction without having to temper it based on his presence. Then I was able to come home and just show everyone the ultrasound picture and be all like, "yep, I"m pregnant again, and it's a (lima bean)" and people didn't have time to react one way or the other. But for whatever reason I didn't show early with that one compared to some of my others where I could never have hidden it. IF you can pull it off, I recommend it.
I expect I will show terribly early with the others but hope I can put it off on too many donuts lol

I wish I had the option of hiding it that long, had a bloat bump by 5 weeks and people making comments by 9 weeks
Me too! I had to come clean and tell people by 10weeks because A) I'm so sick and can puke at the drop of a hat and B) I clearly look pregnant! My body has awesome muscle memory, which is great when exercising again postpartum but NOT great when trying to hide a pregnancy!Quote:

I love the baby too and know it'll be adored no matter what. Had some bleeding from 14-16 weeks which scared the life out of me, and made me want this baby regardless. Also have a friend who is ttc and struggling and feel guilty because of that. Just can't help thinking that this is my last chance, though :(
I know, it's hard! I think you have a healthy outlook. Just keep an open heart and mind. My advice is to not allow yourself to grieve yet. I've seen so many people grieve for something ahead of time, and it was unnecessary. Plus, it can prevent you from being in the moment and enjoying this experience fully. I know it may be easier said than done, but I just wanted to pass along what I have noticed over time [emoji3].Quote:
