He was very cute on the screen, putting his hand in front of his face and swallowing

What makes you think it's a boy? Did they say that at the scan or just a gut feeling?

I keep referring to Bub as a boy but only because I've come to expect it...everyone I know is having or have had girls without even trying :( A friend keeps sending me pics of her daughter almost daily and I just want to burst into tears. I'm happy she got what she wanted but can't help the sadness and jealousy :( Just wish the next 4 weeks would go quicker so I can find out for sure and deal with my emotions

I am so sorry to hear your news kc, sending lots of hugs and hoping you will get through this tough time.

Girliecat I don't think we will have the private scan now. (edited to say: I cancelled the scan)
Although we're going to continue with the pregnancy (unless yesterday's tests pick up fatal abnormalities like Edwards). The excitement factor of scans has definitely gone for us both.
Next one is at 20 weeks so in February.

Mummyof4 My mum is the same ! Well actually she's probably worse lol
She booked us a 3D scan at xmas so she can go, but I told her yesterday we don't want it.
I know she'd expect to keep the pictures, and then go around telling the whole family lol.

And I know cos as soon as I saw the nub on the screen, I said that's a boy isn't it
The tech smiled and said she was only looking for abnormal nuchal fold. But her face said it all
And everyone on here has said boy from my scan pics.

I dont think you have ruined your chances. Even before swaying you have a 50% chance of a girl. I too reverted back to my typical eating habits and i also put on weight. Dont be too hard on yourself hun. xx really sorry xx

How are you going squiggle? I have been thinking about you too

Sorry that you think you're not getting your desired gender, Mrs sparkles. But there's still a chance it's a girl. And if it's a boy, I'm sure he will fit in your family in a way you couldn't have imagined until you will wonder how you could ever have lived without him there.

Hi hun. Im having a mare .. i went for a scan yesterday to check why i still have a light bleed and they found a tiny sac and 5cm x 3cm of what doctor said is possibly a clot which would explain the bleeding since 26th October! Sigh!! .. I had to go for bloods this morning to rule out new pregnancy so will see next steps on Monday. x Im anxious now!! Hope you are feeling ok KC xx

Sparkles, I am so sorry. I read your GD post and I know you are struggling right now. I don't read ultrasound pics well so it is hard for me to believe it is for sure a boy unless a tech who was only looking for gender confirmed it. I am not trying to get your hopes up, but I think if it were me I would need more confirmation so I wasn't full of doubt. Waiting till Feb/20w is a long time. Maybe you will feel ready early in the new year for a private scan. I completely understand not wanting to do the scan with your mom though. Did you tell your mom you think it is a boy? Does she know you wanted a girl?

I am so sorry for your loss KC! I love your outlook and sounds like you have a very supportive husband! Good luck in the future!

Sparkles, with DD3 I got loads of boy guess on her nub at 13+5... She is all girl. I agree with girlie cat, it may help ease you to have further confirmation. But, I know how gender disappointment is and it takes over. Sending you lots of love!

Mommyof4, this is me trying to wait to announce our pregnancy. My belly is getting crazy, thank goodness it's chilly and I can get away with large sweaters!

Girlie, I feel the same way. Which is why I booked the scan for next week. I want to announce if it's a boy at the same time we announce so people wont be rude... because people are... and if it's a girl, I am not sure what we'll do but probably announce together and make sure people aren't rude that way either. I would love to just keep it to ourselves... When I tell people at work, they'll know I am probably not coming back after I have the baby and then I'll have to hear it (I just started in the beginning of Sept). We will have 3, 3 and under at home and I can't pay a sitter to watch the kiddos.

We also agreed on some names. Our kids are Gavin, Madilyn-Jo, Gracelyn, and Emmalyn. So if it's a girl she'll be Gwendolyn Stacy (like from Spiderman). And boy names are Lincoln Maverick or Conner Logan. The middle names are still up for debate. But we have a -in theme with their names so most likely Lincoln will win.

I love Lincoln Maverick! And Gwendolyn Stacy!

I'm hoping though, you get to use Lincoln [emoji6][emoji170]!!

My Ovulation Chart

I found babes heartbeat on my home Doppler! It was between 120-145, mostly 130-135. And babe moved while I was trying to find the hb. Whew.
