Me too! You had better write "FEMALE" on the post just for me if you find out it is a girl. :) (What a weird dream, huh? Who would really write that, besides a doctor?)Quote:

I walked into a childrens store today and oh my gosh the beautiful girl clothes not to mention the baby girl clothes.... and you know what! I felt totally guttered Like " I just Know" I wont be buying any! I felt so sad! I am only 9 weeks preg I shouldnt be feeling this way yet but I think I just feel I am having a boy and I really do believe that... My MIL even said to me just keep walking dont even look at them! hmmm she must be thinking the same way as me ... I am so sad
Big hugs pinkin xxxxxxx
pinkin was your gut feeling right before?
I've gone from having a strong pink gut feeling back to having no clue at all.... living on hope, for the next 2 days at least. This time the day after tomorrow I'll be on my way to the scan. So Scared!
Yeah I had a gut feeling with my ds and yeah sure enough! You know I havent really had many feelings this time about gender until today, just feels like it will never happen to me.
Thanks TTC5!
Pinkin - I know how you feel :hugs: Every time I let myself glance at girl clothes I go through the same emotions. It doesn't help that most stores have twice as many girl clothes as boys. I have a friend who was pregnant at the same time as me last time and when she had a girl and I had a boy she td me I could have fun buying girl clothes for her daughter to console myself. Um...not the same thing and actually just a way to rub salt in the wounds.
THanks Myloves. :) I just would love to be skinny with a bump--never have been. Oh well! :)Quote:

Keep us posted! I hope you have a girl in there!Quote:

thank you Hobber, and hope so Mocha!
will be travelling to visit family straight after the scan (and staying there for Easter) so not sure when I'll get a chance to be on to update you all
I had my 16 week dr. checkup yesterday. Everything was measuring good, heard hearbeat again, it was in high 150s, so that was good. Then we scheduled my gender scan in 3 weeks when I'll be 19w1d, eek!!!! He knows all about how I desire a girl child, and I don't know why (we usually get along well) he said that it doesn't matter what I want, all that mattered what my husband decided to shoot that day!
Isn't that rude of a doctor to say? Ever since the visit yesterday I've been in a mood like I will be no way lucky enough to have a daughter, and I may as well just accept the fact that I'll only have boys. (I love my boys, it's not that, you guys know what it is!)
I feel like what if i miss out on a different life experience??? Guess that's what worries me most about having a boy, is that I really want at least a little balance, and I think having a girl would be that balance my family needs.
My gut feeling about this one being a girl is quickly evaporating at the very image of looking up at another ultrasound screen, seeing an obvious penis! I can't stop thinking about the image of seeing the little penis sticking out at me and being a mockery of all my hopes :(
I am looking forward to/but dreading immensely the ultrasound scan.
Good luck rainbow, can't wait to see the nub and try to guess...and Mocha, when exactly is your scan 2 days from now and when you can update us with what you find out? I'm going to be nervous for you on Thursday!
Pinkin, you had a great sway, I hope you really do have your girl in there. And Hobber, I am still flip-flopping on my gut feeling for you, but lately I've been *leaning* blue! I think you MAY be surprised!
Auroara - believe me, I'm having all the same feelings as you about feeling I'm going to miss out on a whole life experience if this baby's a boy. I am soooooo stressed right now. I was up at 4 this morning thinking about it and never fell back to sleep.
The appt is at 1pm EST on Thursday. Since I know you ladies are all over the world, it's just past 11am here right now. I'll update with my iPhone as soon as I can - definitely before 2.
eeeek! excited and nervous for you!! hope your dream comes true xx :LotsofLove:
Aye, I hope all your dreams come true, Mocha!! I will be so excited to read your update! :celebrate:
And yeah, it is a very heavy experience, isn't it? Waiting to find out the future of your children, but also direction of your life....
I think I've mentioned this before, but I can't even make myself imagine what it would be like to hear girl on Thursday. Everytime I try, my mind wanders back to how it will feel to hear 'boy'. I did finally tell my boys about the pregnancy a couple of days ago, but I'm not going to tell them that I'm finding out the gender at this scan - I don't want them to make the link between my crying and my finding out it's a boy. I'm going to wait until the 20 week scan anyway to tell them so I'll be sure of the gender. I also told them we're all going to go together to a 3D scan later in the pregnancy so they can see their little brother or sister, and they're very excited. My two big boys are hoping for a sister, and my little guy wants a brother ;).
Cant wait to hear Mocha, not long now!!!
Well i have been busy with DH digging up the garden, we having all the grass removed and doing decking and patio. Cant wait till it is done and then all we need is some nice BBQ weather :D
Today was my 1st MW appt and she was the most lovely MW i haveever met :) she even got my blood 1st attempt (that is an achievment) We spoke about homebirths also which i have always fancied by DH hasnt but she what she was saying was making me want it more, she said they lend us the birthing pool also which would be my dream birth. So we are now on a mission to talk around DH. I told him over phone as he working today and he did say 'well i would be able to make myself a bacon butty' :rofl: typical bloke!!!
his main worry is if something goes wrong we in the wrong place. I understand his worry but i have always wanted a water homebirth just dont know if i could handle the pain. MW says you birth better at home. Any of you had a homebirth previously or having one this time? Would love to hear about your experiences.
I walked through asda other day and saw the most gorgeous little dress :( i just know i will never buy it :( I also dream last night that i had a baby boy and we called him Nile? Never a name i thought about....ho hum wierd dreams!
Hope all you lovely ladies and bumps are doing well xxx
HappyLea - I've never had a homebirth since it's not allowed with twins here, and because my next birth was a VBAC and they recommend a hospital birth for that, but if my situation were different I'd definitely consider it. The thought of being in my own home is very appealing. Not having to rush to find someone to care for the kids if I go into labour in the middle of the night - that would be the biggest advantage to me. One of my SILs had a homebirth for both of her kids, and I got to be there for one of them. I was 19 at the time (that particular brother is 10 years older than me, so this was a loooong time ago), and it was a really eye-opening experience for me. How many women get to watch a real birth before they have kids themselves?? Anyway, it was so peaceful - she spent much of her labour watching DVDs and listening to her favourite music. Sounds lovely.
does anyone ever feel that nothing ever plans out the way you want it to, I feel like because I've planned it and even have a boy name and day/dreamed about me with a baby boy, it will never happen because I've thought of it and planned it and nothing ever happens according to how you plan it.
Yeah, I feel that way too, Bumblebee. I'm never the lucky one. I never win contests or anything, and good things just don't happen to me very often. I feel like I want this so badly there's no way I'm going to get it.
same here, i want this so so much i know im not lucky enough to get it. I am only thinking of boys names as i know im not going to get my girl. Nothing for me ever goes right!
mocha ~ i would love to be at home, i think it will be a totally different experience and much more relaxing. My DH and mum has been at all of my other births and they have all been normal except DS3 was 5 weeks early. Im close with my auntie and she has said she would like to be there and her daughter my cousin (she is 16) has also asked me if she can watch but i know in hospital i wont be allowed that many people but at home i can have whom ever i want there. Also like you say no stress as to get kids sorted. Would be nice to be in own surroundings. I just hope i can talk DH round :D
I so hope you are right. I just can't imagine it being a boy--just like you and Mocha and HappyLea are saying you can't imagine hearing "it's a girl". It seems too good to be true that I could get what I want, because I so rarely do. I am just assuming it is a girl, and if I get a boy, I will be over the moon.Quote:

I think it has been disproven, but 150's are girl territory, aren't they? I think both my DDs had HBs in the 150's. DS fluctuated a lot--one time it was in the 160's I remember--but 140's mostly
HappyLea, I have never had a home birth, but I have several friends who have, and they all loved it (one did have a scary thing happen with her baby, but he was fine in the end). Homebirth doesn't really interest me--I don't want that mess in my house, plus I really trust doctors and hospitals (my dad is a doctor and I have spent countless hours in the hospital with him while he worked). I have been very happy with my 3 medicated hospital births. :) I am waaaaaayyyy too much of a weenie to try a natural birth! I need the drugs!!
I sure hope there's something to that OWT, since this baby's heartbeat has consistently been between about 159! :bigsmile: I'm pretty sure all my boys were around 140.Quote:

I got my 12 week scan on 30th April which is our anniversary but unfortunately DH cant make it and he cant get out of work, so mum coming with me. Cant wait to see baby and think i will ask if they can get a nub shot. Hope they will at least try, dont know if they will tho.
Me too-- It is making me crazy! I am so tired and I just can't get back to sleep. :(Quote:

HappyLea, I think a homebirth would be superb! I've never done it as i need c-sections...my babies have heads that are too BIG for my pelvic canal and it's all my DH's fault...he's a big thick head!
