I hear you... Went shopping for Easter Eggs last week but because my niece is so young we bought her clothes instead.. I found it hard not to get too excited.. I tried to remain objective and not think of the " what ifs".
We told my family last night that I'm pregnant and all the women " are hoping it's a girl". Even though I hope that too I hated hearing it. They insisted on doing the ring test too. Ggrrrrr...

That is horrible, I remember telling my mum when I was pregnant with my DS, she kept talking about him being a girl and what names she liked and when I told her he was a boy she was really disappointed and I felt like I'd let her down. As soon as he was born though it was a different story, she absolutely adores him! It's funny how much pressure people around you put on you to have certain genders, maybe part of why Gd can be so strong!
I am just telling myself baby is a little man, looking at boys clothes etc so that I am already at peace with having another DS before the big gender reveal. I think we will probably keep gender quiet from friends and family for a while anyway. A beautiful healthy baby is just that at the end of the day, no matter what gender! But I have to be honest, every person who gets a successful sway result does give me hope but I just can't see myself getting DD this time. It's playing on my mind a lot at the moment as you can tell! It's lovely to come on here and have people who can relate though

My DH keeps referring to the baby as a she or the little girl. I don't think I can stand to see the disappointment this time, if it is another boy. I know I swayed hard and strict and it changed my whole personality, but there are no guarantees. I keep reminding him of that, but he still does it! I hope for his sake this baby is a girl!

I also hope baby is a girl for OH sake, he feels he would have a stronger bond with a girl as my son is very much a mummas boy! But i think he will be happy with another boy once he knows what baby is for sure. It's the wait that is hard coz you keep thinking what if and maybe.

I may do MaterniT21 or Panorama depending on how many we are having to know the gender early. I can't bear to have DH keep getting his hopes up! 20 weeks is a long time for him to get attached to the idea! I'm 35 so insurance covers the tests and only have to pay 20% of the cost.
Anyone else going to find out early?

I would like to, but not sure how easy/expensive it is in the UK! I may try and book a private scan at 15 weeks if the wait gets unbearable!
Trying to be patient but certainly is easier said than done, especially with OH getting his hopes up. I think I'm scared of letting him down.

I'm definitely going to try to find out earlier. I'm pretty sure they offer earlier testing here now. I would prefer to find out early so I have time to adjust to the outcome..

So I got my blood test results today.. All good.. Is as it should be for just under 5 weeks ( which I was last week). Appointment made with OB and my other specialist ( neurologist ) for early May. I'm exhausted this afternoon.
Hope everybody is going well.
Good luck with your ultrasound tomorrow XX. Can't wait to find out if you're having twins!!

Dovelove.. What does OH stand for? I can only think of Old Husband but Im sure I'm missing something. I think it's so sweet that both you and XX have done all this work for your husbands xxx

It stands for Other Half
I feel like I am obsessing more over gender now than I was when TTC! Maybe because now there is nothing more I can do.
Hope all goes well Xx! Were you hoping for twins?
