Its so crazy because with my daughter we literally BD every day in my fertile window. So hoping this time around that it works the opposite for me.Quote:

Greydore try to breathe! This is my 6th pregnancy, I have 2 girls and 3 mmcs (2 at 10w and 18w) on my 1st pregnancy(dd1) I had no nausea at all. The next 4 i was so sick up till week 16 (I was admitted to hosp and each time checked for multiples as was so sick) this time I have very little nausea. Im 8w6d and have had about 3 days nausea in total so far. Usually by now I'd be down 10lb from the sickness.Quote:

The point I am trying to make is - Please try to be hopeful. I read something which I'm trying very hard to remind myself of - until you are told otherwise, believe all is well.
Best of luck tomorrow and I'm looking forward to hearing your good news x
Thanks for clarifying! I think she is hoping for a boy though.Quote:

I haven’t miscarried before, so it’s almost like I feel like I deserve one, and they’re so common. I’ll be ok if it happens, it’s just the not knowing that’s hard.

Happy New Years mamas! As much as we hope for our sways to work the way we planned, the reality is that that this point, things are set. I’m curious for mamas either waiting to see the sex at birth or before, how are you preparing for the possibility of an opposite sway? It’s weighing on me that this could be a third boy despite my intensive sway efforts. A very close friend of mine just had a little girl she badly wanted after two boys. Gets me thinking.
Anyway, for me, I think about the baby as a baby and all the beautiful aspects of it having nothing to do with gender. I also have been watching my sons and soaking in how much I love them and don’t want them to be anyone else. And, for the comments from people that can sting (“Are you hoping it’s a girl this time?” “I hope it’s a girl.”), I have an automatic response...Before I made a baby, I may have desired what I don’t have, but this baby is made without my control, and I want my baby. Plus, my sons are my treasures. (I like this because it normalizes having a gender preference, takes control away from Mom, and recognizes the gift and love of all our children. Also like that this is something positive my sons can hear me say because these things are often said in front of them : /)
How about you?
Ellirosanne!! So glad the nausea is starting to fade. I think it is for me too.

Oh Greydore, no one ever deserves a miscarriage. It’s one of the worse feelings ever! Just said a prayer all is well with baby!! So many hugs to you!
Geek Mama: as much as I want a girl so bad and I believe with all my heart that’s what the lord has blessed me with I would accept a boy, because a baby is a blessing and a gift from the lord no matter which the gender and I cherish my boys just as much as I cherish my beautiful girl! With that being said the last month of conceiving, I followed the lords lead and listened to him to guide me with how to conceive and didn’t do a whole lot of swaying. I just put my trust and faith in him as I should’ve always done and prayed for me to conceive my healthy baby girl to complete our family.

I really wouldn't worry! With my daughter I had ZERO morning sickness, and if not for my BFP I would not have even thought I was pregnant. Good luck at your scan tomorrow!Quote:

I’m always amazed at mom’s that have a feeling- I have no clue what this baby is! We will definitely find out. It makes pregnancy more exciting for me, and we enjoy picking out names once we can narrow it down to boy or girl. Having done it both ways I much prefer knowing ahead of time and getting used to the idea of what I’m having, but to each their own!
Thank you for your kind words mommy2apples, I appreciate it so much [emoji171]

I’d love another little girl. As this pregnancy was an accident, there was no attempt at swaying made and I just have to pray. Before I found out I was pregnant I dreamed I was in the hospital and had just given birth to a baby girl. I found out I was pregnant a few days later at 8DPO. I couldn’t shake the thought that I was pregnant after that dream and bought some tests. My 4-year-old had also told me that my youngest was going to have a baby sister soon. Who knows? I’d love it if these “signs” were correct, but I don’t want to get my hopes up and be disappointed. We are likely going team green this time.
