She's 10 and has been at it since 6. She's pretty amazing. My older daughter was an acro gymnast but she's taking time off now that she's in high school. They are both SUPER expensive sports but it's worth it because the girls are so talented!

And so now I just found out I'll be having another little girl!! I had my check up today and totally didn't expect the dr to tell me she had the results. When she told me female I was completely shocked. She had to show me the screen because I didn't believe her. I am still in shock. I really wanted a boy for my husband. I am happy to be having a girl but sad I will never have my son. It'll take a little while for this to sink in. And the thought of dealing with comments from friends and family. Especially my husband...all his friends have boys now.

He took the news really well though - but I don't think he will show me his true feelings. He says he's happy as long as we have a healthy baby especially after losing 3. Three girls will take some getting used to. My 10-year old will be beyond happy though :-)

Thanks! Sorry you didnt hear boy and about your losses.

How cool.:happy:

Mlka congrats on another little girl! My parents were the same way- my dad wanted a boy, but they had 3 girls and ended up adopting a 4th girl. We’re (almost) all grown up now and my dad tells everyone how much he loves having girls. He now has 2 grandsons with another due any day. So he didn’t get sons, but having grandsons is so wonderful for him. Are you going to let your daughters help name little sister?

Thanks ladies! I'm happy about her. My husband doesn't seem at all down about it which helps.
Thanks Greydore! I think my husband will feel like that one day. I hope so. He doesn't have brothers - only sisters. Now all daughters. He has a lot of women around him that's for sure. My girls already has a name for a girl lol. I think they felt it was a girl all along. I'll do a gender reveal for them this weekend...maybe with cupcakes. They will be happy. I know this sadness will pass for me. And I think it's mostly because I had a boy and lost him and just felt deep down he was coming back. So I think I'm just mourning that.

And Greydore that seems to happen a lot - my mom had 4 sons and me and now she has many granddaughters! Her sister as well. Maybe one day we will get grandsons.

Mika I know what you mean about the stupid comments :( when I was pregnant with dd5 a lot of people actually said to me "what are you going to do if its another girl?!?" It made me so angry. I said well, I was thinking about bringing her home and taking care of her. Call me crazy I know..
People can be really rude without thinking.
My Dh was never really bothered about getting a boy. He would've been fine with whatever we got. Bit annoying actually lol!

Thanks so much! I think it's mostly hearing those comments that I'm more worried about. As soon as the family heard about our pregnancy everyone started saying well I'll pray it's a boy or I know you guys really want that boy. It's really annoying. I want everyone to be happy for us and not pity us. My mom just had 2 granddaughters last year and she just made a comment that she just knows this one is a boy. I was going to do a gender reveal for the family but now I'm not even sure.

Thanks for sharing Babybeaublue! I'm glad I have this forum!

Momma bear yes when I was pregnant with my boy I wanted burgers and pickles a lot. I don't even eat burgers. This time I don't want meat just dairy and sweets just like my other daughters. I kinda knew it was a girl, esp with the nausea. I barely had much nausea with the boy - I had fatigue. But no fatigue this time. Plenty of energy. I had lots of energy with my girls but I thought that was because I was in my 20s. I guess symptoms can be the same with gender. Did you experience the same thing?

So many hugs to you MIka! They will really love being involved with that!
Did they ever think maybe what we truly want is a healthy baby? People are annoying!

Mlka your girl pregnancies sound like my boy pregnancies! Nausea (HG with my oldest), no meat, wanted lots of sweets. I’m sorry about the comments you’re getting- I remember my mom talking about how frustrating that was when they brought my third sister home.

BBB I LOVE that response! So funny and perfect. I’m going to use it next time someone asks what I’ll do with 3 boys.

I've had some really hurtful comments but shame on them. When my dd3 was about 10 days old the first thing my health visitor said was " you're never going to get this boy are you?!" Not congratulations or How are you? No. Just a put down
People automatically assume you want an opposite, but thanks to this site I've seen a lot of ladies who want what I have:) it's nice to hear when you feel a bit like a freak lol

Hi ladies, tentatively joining you as tests seem to be getting darker so far and I definitely 'feel' pregnant! Still not told DH and not sure how to as he has been in two minds about the whole thing since we started. Looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing this journey together [emoji4]

Aww so sweet grace :)

Has anyone on here done Sneakpeek? Most of the reviews are positive, I guess some get false boy results because their test got contaminated by male dna in the house. We found out that our insurance won’t cover any first trimester screening so I’m desperate now, lol.

Beautiful baby!

I am 12 weeks, and yesterday we did our genetic screening scan. Everything looked great and low risk with baby, but the cyst on one of my ovaries (I already knew about), was concerning the doctor because it was not clear (they kind they often remove to biopsy). They will either take them out because they are suspicious or large enough to cause pain and risk to the ovary. I had one removed surgically before for the second reason. My head is swimming and my heart is heavy with worry. I don’t know if I have any specific questions. I’m looking for support, especially if you’ve had cysts during pregnancy. They are scanning me again in 4 weeks to see if size grew, and that is supposed to be most low risk time for surgery. I do have some pain with this one and I’m worried.

I haven't had any cysts so no advice about that but sending hugs and hope the wait between scans isn't too anxious for you xx

Hi Greydore,

I'm not sure where you're based but I'm doing a blood test at 10 weeks to check the gender, the company is called Easydna and it's a reputable company. I've used them for other tests but the gender test costs $300 so not sure if you're interested in spending the money but if you're like me and just busting to find out the gender there are blood tests you can take. Hope that helps :)

I was wondering for the gender blood test does the doctors office do that? Or do you have to go somewhere else and pay?

Hi Momma bear 4, I'm in Sydney, Australia and I know of two ways you can get this test. One way is to order it by phone or online, I only know Easydna ($300) as others are a scam or you can go to your doctor and ask for a Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) ($420) through Sonic genetics - Home | Sonic Genetics. You have to make sure they tick the gender box and then you take the form to a Laverty pathology clinic (there's usually a few in every suburb) and you get the results 5 days later. Hope this helps :)

Thanks for the great info. I knew about the NIPT but didnt know that they could do the gender test through that.

Thanks All :)
