Thanks for your input fiveboys...and congratulations on a beautiful daughter! (I bet that sounds so weird reading 'daughter'!!!). I plan to have a 4d scan soon hopefully to check on baby and confirm whether I really have a baby girl on board. It seems like ages since my gender scan at 16 weeks and if I'm honest I still don't really believe it. I'm now 29 weeks so if they tell me 'girl' at this stage I may just start to believe it then!!

Hope everyone is doing well! I feel like we're all finally hitting that home stretch of pregnancy! So fun as we get closer and closer to meeting our little ones :)

Today was a hard day for me. Baby is great as am I. But we went to be nephews birthday party today. I always struggle being around my brother and sister in law and their kids. They got a girl first and then got pregnant with a boy while I was pregnant with my daughter... it was SOOO hard cuz I wanted a boy then too.. and then she just up and got one of each.. idk our family dynamic with them is rough cuz it's always a competition. But seeing my nephew have a totally boy party with trains and cars and opening all these TOTALLY boy toys with his hair spiked up like his dad and what not. It just stabs me in the gut. I'm so scared to not get a boy.. I know if it's a girl I will love her with everything in me... but I long for a boy so bad it just makes me ache to watch little boys like that and fear I may never get to experience that :( idk I'm sure a lot of you totally get that feeling too being around other babies and kids and parents with the gender you wanted etc. well that's my venting for today haha :) 31 weeks this week for me! The end is in sight!

Fortunately I've had straight forward labours and deliveries so far and I'm panicking this time around about whether the baby will be ok, whether I'll haemorrhage this time as apparently being the 6th I'm high risk....I know I need to be positive but just wondering whether any one else is in the same boat??

Im very nervous about delivery as I've had a few traumatic births and especially the last one. I also hemorrhaged after my 4th but they do have a drip ready to put up the second i deliver since and thankfully no extra bleeding. I will likely be induced again with gd. I hate being induced but my hubby wont let me fight against it as i have fast labours (normally under an hour and 1 under half an hour) Im just trying not to think about it and concentrate on all labours being different and praying for a safe one.

Congrats either way but I think that was quite unfair to happen to you. Why did they even need a gender shot if you didn't want to know?

I hope you get your boy. I totally understand those feelings and they are horrible. My feelings are even weirder as much as I would be jealous when i would hear someone was having a girl and I still do even though im supposed to be having a girl i guess im just nervous my scans were wrong. I would be insanely jealous if someone wanted a boy and got a boy because they got what they wanted does that make weird sense? like dont get me wrong i would be happy for them but would still get a pang of jealously in my stomach.

Fiveboys- She's super cute [emoji4]! I'm so happy for you and your family!

1pinkplease, Shannshaff, and kelly2017- I hope you guys all have an uneventful delivery 🤞🏻! I have an acquaintance that had #7 and it was one of her easiest deliveries. I'm hoping the same happens for you all too!

Kelly2017- I've started to buy girl stuff too! It's fun, because I've not noticed how cute the clothes are before! And the accessories [emoji4]! I'm sure you have a girl in there 🤞🏻!

Nann3r- I just want to give you a big hug! That must be rough with the added competition factor at play. I really hope you have your sweet boy! I don't know why it's easier for some to just get what they want. It's baffling really. I'm sending you all of my blue baby dust [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]! 🤞🏻so hard for you!

I'm getting excited as we are all getting close to meeting our little ones!

Yep that's me!! It's really hard when I hear others get what they want. I mean I hope that they do but going on girl #3 it's tough. I am so excited to meet her just hoping someday we will have our boy. Perhaps we will adopt rather than try for #4.

Yes I totally get that. And it makes it worse that they didn't even have to try too ya know? Like they just wanted one and got one. And all of us over here are doing all these crazy things to get our desired gender. They just decided to have a baby, tried one month and boom surprise you got your boy...

I'm over here like busting my butt with all these sway tools and ttc for about a year and a half to get a boy with no luck then finally conceive with iui and medication. And I don't even know if it's a boy. It's like for real? Lol my in laws got pregnant the first try both times and first was a girl, then a boy. Seriously how lucky can you get?!? So frustrating..
