And TRUST me Pinkin' the majority here at GD have got it wrong before..
We aren't experts :)
I understand that but I have seen you guys be right alot of the time too!
pinkin, I think we all completely understand the feelings you're going through since most of us have been there, but butterfly's right: there's no point in mourning something that hasn't even happened yet. I don't see anything obviously boy in your nub shot, and that skull is definitely girly. Actually, even your nub reminds me a little of mine.
I got LOTS of boy votes - nearly 50% when I count them all up, though most of them were on IG and elsewhere. Like you, I had convinced myself it was a boy and was upset with no proof. It ended well for me, and I really hope it will for you too.
Today's the big day, ladies: my 20 week scan. In about 4 hours I'll know whether or not my baby really is a girl. I'm so scared there'll be a penis there this time!!
Pinkin ~ so glad you and Dh have decided not to take the meds. Please do not rule yourself out this early especially without confirmation. I have just looked at skull on yours and i do think it looks abit like mine, not too much difference. Mine has all girl votes and i too like you when i first saw baby on screen thought it was a girl, i got that vibe. I think mine is a boy also tho, but i am trying not to let it get to me until i know for sure and then i will deal with it. Please find out and then deal with it, you could very well be getting yourself upset and disappointed for no reason. We are not experts who guess and we do get it wrong. I wanted to wait to find out but i know i cant, i want to know either way. More to prepare myself if it is a boy. DH and I were going to have gender scan and tell no one but mum paying half but still may not tell her as i know she cant keep a secret.
Mocha ~ Good luck today, your pregnancy seems to be flying by :D
Well im not having a good day :( my dog had a consultation at specialist today as she has problem with her nose getting infected and doesnt seem to get better. They kept her in to do lots of tests as she used to live in cyprus she has to have a test done for a disease they have over there that is not in UK, biopsie and ct scan and bloods and its gonna cost me a whooping £1500, so glad she is insured!!! Got to pick her up in couple of hours hope she is ok :( poor girl! I was expecting to be paying consultation fee of £135 not 10X that ammount. Shocking vet fee's!!!!
Good luck Mocha! There won't be a penis on your little girl, don't worry!
There won't be Mocha! I can't wait for you to be over the moon a second time. :)Quote:

So I am having a gout attack in my hand. I usually get it in my toe. I do not fit the profile of a gout sufferer. Usually it is men in their 40's+, drinkers who eat a ton of meat. I don't drink (even when not pregnant), I am not quite 40, I am not a man... anyway, it hurts so bad!! Crappy. I can hardly use my hand at all (typing this with one hand is hard!)
Pinkin - Very happy that you are not going to take the pills. I suffer from depression as well since I was a very young child. I stopped all meds by mistake before getting prego with DS1 and haven't used them since. I do a lot of meditation now and it helps a lot. I joined a group for the first 3mths so I did it right but now I can just do it on my own at home. I also get up beofre the kids and go to bed after them so I can make sure to fit in 2 a day. On really bad days I will sometimes meditate 1-2x's with the kids copying me or while they are watching a movie.
Lucky Mocha you get to confirm gender today... so jealous!
I am dying right now I have 5ds and 3 1/2hrs until I get to find out. I want so badly to call them and see if I can get one today but I have to force myself to wait.
Sorry jumped over from due in December board! Pinkin I really think you skull looks girly. I would have a guess on the nub but am clueless in that department! Also your symptoms seem to say girl to me. I know they are supposed to be OWTs but I believe a lot of them! Finally having movement in you left side and baby being on your left side during your scan is a huge push in the girl direction for me. I know a lot of people disagree but I do think left =girl and right= boy. Unfortunately for me I am getting all my pains on the right side!
Mocha, I'm sure the baby will still be a girl!!! Can't wait for you tell us again it's a girl and share with us your lovely U/S pictures!!!
PP, I understand how anxious the week before a scan can be. I was calm until the night before when I freaked out wondering how my family makeup was going to be. Although how hard I tried to make myself think boy so I wouldn't be disappointed, I could not because I truly knew in my heart this was my girl. Believe in your gut...what does your gut say?
Pinkin, I understand your feelings too, and I had to laugh when you wrote "boy nub, girl skull, he'll be a pretty boy." But really, I gave you a ever so slight boy lean, and I'm not even sure about that anymore. I think your baby could truly really be a girl still. Will you get an early scan or stick to your 20 week ultrasound?
I haven't seen queen-of-harts for a while, but I imagine by now she's over 20 weeks prob knows if she's having her first daughter or not. I was hoping she'd come back here to update us.
Peony, you seem very busy! Glad the move is distracting you from your 12 week scan!
Rainbowflower, haven't seen you on much, your preg. going well? you feeling good, eating yummy foods?
Yesterday I had sme baked beans and was thinking the fiber would be good for me, but this morning I had the worst time in the bathroom, like severely bad time when over the weekend I was naughty and had cake and ice cream but was fine in the bathroom the next day. I thought that was odd? Aren't beans supposed to help....I didn't really need 'help' but they just made it worst?
Hobbers and myloves, thanks a lot. I really do believe once my DH meets Lillian he'll be over the moon and be so happy we had a daughter. My DH is a good man and I trust he'll fall in love with her, it's just a lil hard dealing with his moodiness about it now, although he was a lot better yesterday at not talking about how he's scared of a daughter. I think he saw how much it hurt me and he's trying to keep his words in check. I know when I was growing up, I thought the world of my Dad, and it still matters to me what he thinks. I worry about my Dad all the time, he's 71, and I hope she will love and care about him the way I do for my own Dad. I think fathers and daughters have a very special bond that often gets overlooked. :HH:
Baby's still a girl!! I'll post pics later.
Yeah, thank goodness we do as it just cost me £1336.30 :omg:Quote:

That is wonderful Mocha. It must be a nice feeling to be reassured it is your girl. I think I remember you saying you were going to call her Sadie.
HappyLea...your poor dog. Hope she is ok. If it is Lupus have they got some suggestions of treatment? I sent my gorgeous dog on the plane this morning. She is going to live with my parents until we move back to Perth as we will be living in an apartment until the end of the year. She was barking and yelping at me from the cage as I walked away. Broke my heart.
Thanks! Yes, we're planning on naming her Sadie Lillian after dh's grandma and my Mom. We decided on that name long before we had kids. My only worry is I'm still not sure it goes well with the other names we have now: Sam, Evan and Ryan. What do you all think?
I think it sounds great with your boys' names!
I agree. It sounds lovely with their names, and is also a little different which I like. If my boys were girls they were going to be Sophie and Zoe, so I obviously like girls names ending in an 'ee' sound!
Mocha, I love her name, and it fits great with your boys! BTW, congrats on her still being a girl. :)
Peony, that story about having to send your dog away made me sad. :(
HappyLea, I hope your dog is okay!
Thanks Hobber. We got her as a little pup 1 week before I found out I was pg with DS1 so the boys have always had her around. I will be happier once she is safely delivered to my parent's house as she will love it there. She is a border collie, such a sweet natured thing.
Mocha - I think Sadie blends nicely with your boys names. I think Sadie's pretty rare actually - I don't know any Sadie's where I live! :D
i love EE sounds too. We have Ebony. If this is a girl she might be a Sophie :)Quote:

I will be getting and early scan i think... How many weeks should I be ? I do know a place that do it from 16 weeks but I am woundering if I should wait until 17 or 18?
Mocha, I think that name works with the boys' names, too! And I really love the usage of family names. :) My DS1's middle name is Douglas, which is my brother's AND my dad's middle name (and was originally my dad's grandfather's first name).
If I'm growing a girl in there, her middle name will be Violet, which was my DH's grandmother's name!
TTC5 Ebony is lovely, but I don't think you will get a chance to call this one Sophie! Best be thinking of boys names!!
Violet is a beautiful traditional name to be able to use Laughing. We used James for DS1s middle name as DHs grandad, dad and DH have that middle name. I don't have any girl ones that stand out though. DH and I find choosing names really hard. I love Perri Belle for a girl but he knows a male Perry at his work and doesn't think much of him. I just randomly pick names now and see if he knows anyone with that name that puts him off!
PP - James is the middle name for a boy we have the same taste lol
Sorry girls but TMI! For a while now id say a good 8 weeks I have this cm its a white colour and can get a fair bit of it like blobs of it?? What is this? I never had it in my first preg and if I did it wasnt this amount!! Sorry I know its gross but I dont see my ob until the 14th and I am a bit worried what this is... Everything was fine at my 12 week scan..
pinkin could be extra discharge from all the hormones and the plug forming? Is it like a creamy white lotion? I have that too..
yes it is like a lotion and then I will got to the toilet and wipe and get a blob of it ... it doesnt look like anything nasty because Its not smelly or yellow or anything but i do get it often.. just didnt experience this with my first
Pinkin - I've had tons of cm this pregnancy - enough that I need a liner some days. I didn't have this in my other pregnancies either.
Thanks for the feedback on the name - it's reassuring to hear people like it. We never tell people irl before the baby's born so I don't get any other feedback.
We used family names for first and middle and now we are limited if we have another boy. We have either Henry or Anthony for a first and maybe Frank, August, Henry, or Anthony for a middle. For a girl I like Madeleine, Hope, Libby, Lucy, Ashlynn, Alice and Mary for first names and All of them plus Louise for a middle.... I am still going to let my MIL pick the name. Her Mothers Day gift will be a picture and a list of names!
PP, that is such a thoughtful and loving gift...giving her a list of names you really like and letting her make the final decision.
My kids are:
Quinten Joseph (Quinten is the 5th Joseph in my husband's family, that's why Quinten works there)
Evan Thomas (Thomas is my Dad's 1st name)
Lillian Elizabeth (Elizabeth was my middle name and my Mom's middle name)
And if we had a 4th, unfortunately I think we'd be stuck with another "N" name because we got that theme going already. But we'll cross that bridge when we get there!
I really do love the name Violet though. I think it's so gorgeous and if we were ever to have another girl one day, I think Violet would make a lovely 1st or middle name. My husband likes the old English / victorian sounding names for girls. He hates anything modern and trendy for girls, and I have an old-fashioned first name, so it suits me fine.
I love talking about names...so much fun! Mocha, I think Sadie works perfectly because it's a short name just like Sam, Evan & Ryan.
TTC5, I hope you and your DH are thinking of boys name....because I :agree: with Peony, you ain't gonna be able to use Sophie!
When I was younger,I used to used to want to name a daughter Aurora or have it as a middle name, but I've used it for soooo many years now as an online name I think it would be weird! I used to love the French name Cosette too but DH doesnt like it, and I'm not as fond of it as I once was.
When I was younger I wanted to name my kids Journey James, Parrish Max, Elliot, and Damien... at one point I liked other names like Domanic, Mitchel, Ethan, and Oliver. I wanted all boys.
I never really liked any girls names but I wanted the middle name to be Mae or Catherine until my dad said that my Grandma felt the names were cursed because they were used for a cousin and my older sis who both passed away very young.
Starting to get nervous about Monday. Do I really want to know. And how am I going to act when they tell me what it is. DH will be at work but the boys will be with me. I will have to ask them to write it down and not say it so DS1 doesn't tell everyone. I can't stop thinking about it... and coffee is not helping my nerves I need food!
I would have changed the app for today but I was nervous they wouldn't be able to tell at 16wks and 4d... my ticker is off... but I will be 17wks and 1d at scan is that enough for a good view and a 99.999999% guess?
Is it Monday yet!
PP, good luck Monday! My scan is Monday too. I hope they tell you girl, and I hope mine is a boy--but I don't want to know anything about gender on Monday. I really hope my baby is healthy!! Please take ALL my pink dust!!
