I am starting to have a lot of anxiety about the gender the closer I get to finding out :/ I know I need to find out so I can work through my feelings during my pregnancy. My doctor knowing this has upped my anxiety/depression med and I’m feeling sick again while it regulates.
Next Monday I have my 12 week ultrasound and I hope to get a good nub shot and I’ve booked an early gender scan for 16 weeks. We haven’t told family yet and I just know what all the comments will be if it’s another boy. At least if it’s a girl I will be so happy that I won’t care about anyone’s opinions. I’ve been thinking if it’s a boy to just tell everyone we are waiting until birth to find out since it’s our last baby. Has anyone found out and then kept it a secret from everyone? Was it hard or did you ever accidentally let it slip?
I’ve felt so resentful lately about having all these boys around me and I can’t imagine adding another one. Then I feel so guilty and depressed about seeming so ungrateful. I want to enjoy my last pregnancy but it’s so hard, and I feel like it’s starting to put a wedge in my relationship too :(
I’m so sorry for you gals struggling, our news was mostly well received with the exception of my mother. Which is pretty shocking considering we only have one but people always have an opinion and for some reason think it’s ok to share, even to a hormonal pregnant woman! Honestly, I believe my mom is jealous I am living a life she wish she could have lived, and is just generally resentful. I couldn’t hide my pregnancy if I tried, aside from being sick I am HUGE! Like, honestly very large. Gained over 20 pounds and a good portion in my belly (although my thighs and hips are definitely wide). I didn’t tell people until I knew the gender, which I’m happy about because everyone guessed boy and that would have bummed me out. Just goes to show that symptoms/OWT and guesses are so unreliable! I hope everyone finds happiness and peace in their newest adventures!
Aww, thank you :bighug: I try to look at life with humor. I'm actually pretty happy to be here, getting over my initial apprehension of being pregnant again unexpectedly. After seeing Baby Oops bouncing around, and then showing its little rump to the 3d camera... I admit it, Im excited to meet it!
Awwww that’s so sweet and the card idea is awesome!
I'm 100% with you. I had my scan at 12 weeks this past Monday, and the nub shots can go either way. Its not as reliable at 12, as it is at 13 or after so I am also booking an early scan. I did see what I think is stacking on a few pictures, so I keep trying to brace myself to hear boy #3, when my heart is screaming for a DD. I also feel guilty, but this is the place to let it all out with less fear of being judged. There are so many of us who struggle with GD.
My husband wanted me to have an abortion, and I couldnt even think about going through with it. He had said no matter what I decided, we were in it together but when fights happened it was always "Youll be lucky I stay with you after its born." It was terrible. But, honestly if thats how it was going to be (It wont come down to that, he just has a really nasty temper. After 14 years I tell him to get over himself.) Id rather have my 3rd and raise it alone. Now that hes actually seen the pictures, hes softened and even started calling it Oops and making plans. It was a bumpy few months though.
I havent told many people, and dont plan to until I know the gender. 3 people know and my inlaws will when they come to visit in a couple weeks.
Hey I finally figured out how to change my sig and pictures! My boys have changed just a little since 2013 :giggle:
