I feel seriously sick, I've spent the last 20 mins obsessing over ultrasound pics online so I have a better idea of what I'm looking at tomorrow. I'm trying to convince myself that of course it is a boy and that is perfectly fine, and it isn't such a big deal if I don't have a daughter. Who am I kidding!! :worry:
I'm so scared I'm not going to be able to hide my disappointment if they say it is another boy, and I just feel terrible to even be having these feelings when I am so lucky to have two beautiful children and be pregnant with hopefully another healthy baby. I should be obsessing over whether the baby is ok not whether it is male or female :(
I seriously think this wait would be easier without ever having seen a nub lol. I was blissfully ignorant with my other babies, and the wait for the gender scan seemed long, but it was no where near as difficult mentally.
Please just know that we understand how you feel. :) Every time I spot I remind myself that I should just be happy that the baby seems healthy and has a strong hb. But the gd is still overwhelming.Quote:

What you doing?" over and over, etc. And I just get really abrupt and angry. Like, the rage in this pregnancy is ridiculous. I wasn't nearly as full of rage in my pregnancy with him. Is that just the nature of being pregnant and also being a mother already or could that just be due to differences in different pregnancies?
It makes me feel so bad. :( The weird thing is, my first pregnancy I snapped at my husband a lot in the beginning. This time he hasn't been annoying me at all! It's just the dog and my son! Ahhhh! I want it to stop! :( It just bubbles over (the rage) really easily.
I mean, I'm sure part of it could be that we have come into some serious debt problems and can barely afford food at the moment (my mom has been having to paypal us money every week so we can eat.... all of my accounts - 2 credit cards and my bank account deny any transactions now because I've gone over on all of them, etc) And seriously, about 4 months ago everything was FINE. We were getting some tax credits every week (a UK thing) that helped make up for pay I was losing towards childcare costs so our standard of living was just fine. No issues. Credit cards were being paid down, etc. No big deal. But then we made an error in reporting this year's salaries to them (a BIG error) which led to them saying we make *too* much money and now we owed THEM money and they were stopping the weekly payments. And that was all it took to suddenly send all of my finances spiralling down because those weekly payments helped cover the things I cannot cover now... so then we had to do grocery shops on the credit cards (not ideal!), which were pretty full as we went on a few holidays this year. I had everything in place to pay things off by early next year and now I'm in a position where that is just beyond possible. My bank account is now charging me over £100 each month (which just makes it worse... even LESS money!) because my pay without the tax credits doesn't cover my bills 100%. This all sounds convoluted... sorry... maybe that is where the rage is coming......
We're in the middle of appealing their recent decision to not add the correct sums in and fix the tax credit thing (What the hell? I don't get why they came to that decision!) so we're waiting now to hear back a second time but it could take months. :(
I am so grateful my mother, in the end, bought all of our plane tickets to the US for Christmas/New Years because, seriously... I need to be in the comfort of my family right now so bad.
I didn't mean for this post to turn into this long ramble!
:.) what do you think of it?Quote:
