Oh coocoo I'm so sorry!:hugs:
Congrats on your little boy though hun he will be amazing xxx

Winn I think its to early to go by potty shot, just look at IG they have quite a few boy guesses turn girl and all seem to be guessed b4 19wks in fact I've looked at it far to much and convinced myself that the tech has it wrong and I'm having w boy! This GD is not a healthy thing at all I sat in tears yesterday because evwey1 keeps telling me their horror storys about knowing some1 who was told girl but out came a boy, think I'm more depressed now then b4 I had my scan!! Stupid I know! Xxx

CooCoo- I am so sorry you did not hear pink for your scan but I do want to congratulate you on the baby boy who was clearly meant to be a part of your family. HUGS!

Dear Coocoo, I posted this on the other thread but I will post it here too so you see it. I am sorry you didn't hear pink today, but congrats on the healthy sweet little bundle of blue! :diaper: I always say that momma son bond is worth it's weight in gold because it's true. I'm so glad that you love him already, and that you are feeling better, and I hope your pregnancy goes by quickly so you can meet him! This little guy truly wanted to join your family and have some wonderful brothers!
I send you lots of :HH: hugs :hug2: at this time. And remember ..Someday when your daughter comes, she will have three brothers to protect her and love her!
xx my friend!

I do NOT want three kids in diapers. Not to mention DS1 barely fits into a diaper at all anymore.

Have you tried the nothing on below the waist thing? What happens when he sees his body peeing, etc? That's how we potty learned my 2 year old. Spent a whole weekend pantsless and he got it pretty quick by day three and was so pleased about it. You just have to expect lots of accidents on the floor and have lots of cleaners around. Whether your son would respond to something similar, not sure... but I was surprised how quick it worked. I literally told his childminder on the Friday, "I'm starting to potty train tomorrow." She was like, "Okay, I'll make sure to have my little potty out for when he's here on Tuesday."

When he went to her house on Tuesday after our "training weekend"... (in underwear, traveling on public transport! No accidents).... when I picked him up the end of Tuesday, she said she was shocked because he took himself to the potty each time he had to go - no accidents.

So, don't know!

Maybe this will help? Embryo Development external genital sex organs - angle of the dangle boy or girl ultrasound gender scan - Baby2see

There may still be a dangle at that point.

Coocoo - I'm so sorry! I know you must be so heartbroken and just know it is OK to feel how you are feeling. I hope you feel at peace with deciding to find out. We are here for you so please do not go away for too long.

Winngrin - I had the opposite of you....my potty shot looked more girl and the nub more boy. When I saw the potty shot, she said it it could go 50/50 because she saw the girl lines but she also said boys could show the same. So basically, anything could go at this stage. I think you are just fine. Try not to worry!!

Ughhh hbp that's what happened to me. I'm so angry people can't just be happy for you instead of filling you with horror stories. Get another scan if you want to reassure yourself. It's Better than obsessing and worth it IMO. My private scanner had offered to last time , in hindsight, I wish I had just to re confirm it. Especially bc my scan was at 14 weeks and 5 days or so. Granted we lost the baby and she was born early, she was clearly a she , and all those people were just rude who had to tell me those stories.

Oh Coocoo, so sorry for you! I know exactly how you feel. I personally think it's good you have lots of time to accept the fact you're having a boy before he's born. Hugs xxx

Coocoo sending you a massive HUG xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Congratulations on your little boy, get all your sadness and GD out of the way now and then start looking forward to meeting your gorgeous little boy. We're all here for you xxx

Last night I spent hours looking online at potty shots, reading stories of wrong gender guesses and basically driving myself crazy. And I realized that it really can go either way at this point and there wasn't going to be some magical answer, other than wait and see. Then somehow one website led to another and I ended up watching and reading some heartbreaking stories of child abuse. I almost woke 11 month old ds3 up just to hold him close. And while I still want the experience of a daughter, the majority of my anticipated gd flew out the window. Ladies, hold your babies close and enjoy the precious gift you've been given, boy or girl. Our children here are so loved, and they are so very lucky.
