WAG I hope everything is okay... please update us.
Thorz that is such good news!! Especially since DH has the day off. Please let us know and post the girly pictures. I am convinced you are having a girl and I really hope they can put your mind at ease tomorrow!!
WAG Hun, hope you're ok. Keep us updated. Little Lennon has to stay put for a little while yet!
Thorz thats super exciting!! Show us the pics!
Im going to try and hold out for my 32wk scan to get my confirmation of my confirmation!! I doubt other people stress this much about girls turning into boys!! lol
Ive done a fair bit to the nursery today so if this ends up being a boy, the poor thing will get a complex, with all the pink around him!
WAG, hope everything's ok.
I'm the first of my immediate family to have children so I'll hold onto lots of the girls' old clothes, I'm one of four so someone will need it eventually. We're definitely not having any more though!
Thorz, I'm sure you'll hear girl again.
I'm so tired! I have good weeks and then weeks like this week where I could curl up and snooze at 4pm. It's unfortunate that at that time I need to organise homework, bring in the washing and cook.
I'm guessing everything is fine I fell a sleep for the night when I was laying down and woke up to a very active baby :) still crampy tho so I will mention it to the dr my apt is in a couple hours....
Thorz any news
Not yet, my appt is at 3pm EST
Thorz I can't wait!! Get lots of pictures!! Since you paid for this scan and they got it wrong the first time don't hesitate to ask that they get a really good shot and take their time. You deserve to have your mind put at ease so you don't have to wonder any more!! So glad you got another u/s!!
Finally I received the call from health visitor. I actually knew her as she came to see both of my boys after they were born. She is a lovely lady just wanted to know DS2 (perfume drinker) was ok. It was obvious she just had to call but we had a relaxed chat about children, no visit has to be paid. I will see her again when this little one born. I am so releaved it wasn't social services!
girlsway so pleased to hear they are so sensible ;-0
thorz I don't understand time zones news now??????????????
Ohh thorz hope i get to read your news before bed :)
Wag how are things now, must have been pretty scary yesterday. Were your other boys early?
1,000% Girl!!!! I am so very happy! I finally believe it!!
Here she is..... her arm looks like a nub and like it is cut off, in this pic, but I saw both arms and hands, its just a weird shot!

They said for sure a girl, and gave me a pic of that too, but my scans from last week are even better so I didn't bother uploading it. She is so precious! And I already got rid of my baby boy stuff all the way up to 18 months. It feels so good to purge that stuff!
Yay Thorz! So exciting.
For all you ladies with two or three of the same, was your DG different to the children you've had or did you just want to experience the opposite gender?
I always wanted a daughter and only really started to want a boy when we learned DD3 was also a girl. I think little boys are gorgeous too and would have been happy with boys but if I'd only had one I'd have had a girl preference. This is not in any way being disparaging of little boys but I'd always seen myself as having a daughter.
If I had to choose one gender I would have chosen boy
I went to the hospital today and am now on bed rest not strict just take it easy no lifting... My swab was neg for pre term labour so he should stay put but it's still a risk... No dilation but my cervix is super soft and low
I think I would have chosen a girl if I only had one child, back before I had any kids that is, but my little guys are so sweet and adorable and we have such a strong loving bond that I would never be able to make that decision now. I don't know anything about girls anymore, I am sure I'll pick it up though.
WAG I am so glad things are ok, but for sure take it easy, we don't want your little Lennon coming out too soon!
Take it easy WAG. Is there someone who can help you?
I was wondering about the preferred gender thing because even though I thought I REALLY wanted a boy reading some of the posts here and on IG sort of made me realise that my gender preference was no where near as strong as that of some women. I think it may have been more of an issue if I'd been desperate for a boy to begin with.
DH is here but totally useless! Since I have been home I've still had to feed kids!
Congrats Thorz and I am so glad they could put your mind at ease!! Curious if they said anything about the first scan you had with them?
I have always wanted both genders and always hoped that I would have both a boy and a girl. I think if I had two girls I would also want a boy just as much as I want a girl right now. I think each gender offers something different and I have always wanted to experience both.
Thorz whoop whoop so pleased
Wag poor you scary stuff hun make him cook your baby boy needs to stay put!
I always wanted a girl I would have happily had an all girl family but I'm glad I don't I would have missed so much! I blame my mother I'm an only child and see always said I was do pleased you were a girl if you'd been a boy I'd have to had tried again and I never wanted that! I am gonna be so careful not to pass my gd onto my daughter
Thorz so pleased for you, shes beautiful too. You can go pink mad now :cheer:
Wag hope you manage to get your feet up and get some rest.
I always wanted girls before having any children and never saw myself having boys. When DS1 came along i was ok with it as me and DH knew we didnt want to stop at 1 but when i found out DS2 was a boy i was distraught as DH said no more children after 2 so i thought all my dreams of a daughter were gone. This time i kind of expected to hear boy so geared myself up for up but was over the moon and very shocked when she said girl. So happy as now our little family will be complete.
Congrats thorz bet ur so pleased! I'm wanting another scan now to confirm my girl as I'm still in denial and worrying that they'll have got it wrong!
Anybody still getting feeling sick sometimes?
Mel I want another scan too to confirm girl!! I spoke to my sonographer friend who did the scan and she said she very much doubts a penis will be seen now. I'm still anxious to have another look. But will have to wait now until 32wks. My on does a scan every time I go see him but he never looks at gender and I feel silly asking him too.
Mel I have my odd days still feeling sick. More odd moments. I actually had one tonight. I know having a rest would calm it down but with 3 kids 4 and under I never get that chance!
My morning sickness still makes the odd appearance :s
I still have morning sickness briefly in the morning. I think it has something to do with my prenatal pills. I take them right before I go to bed and if I forget I notice the next morning I won't feel sick at all. Kind of weird??
It's just before my evening meal I feel sick, especially during cooking, made last nights meal and couldn't touch a bit of it!
Wish I didn't feel the need for another scan, it just fees to good to be true!
No more sickness for me, just an intense craving for chocolate at all hours of the day!
I have another scan next week to check my placenta so hopefully that will be 3 scans confirming girl. I'm believing its a girl now though.
I have a private scan booked next week too, just want to see if everything is still ok and would like to see the little one again. Is that good enough reason to pay for one or shall I rather wait till 30 wks?
Girlsway it's always nice to see the baby, so any reason is worth it! How exciting for you!
Yes girlsway go for it ;-)
I personally don't think elective scans are a good idea.... I've read things That I don't like the sound of... I know it's nice to see the baby and all but I think the risks are just so unknown...I read something like having. A lot of u/s can cause mental delays and left handedness well ds2 I had many u/s not elective but he's autistic and is left handed and the only left handed person in either of our families so it's not hereditary
Sorry to interrupt girls - i had this about 26 weeks and it scared the life out of me - not contractions but period pains and severe cramping and the pressure was untrue. Midwife reckoned she was just going through a growth spurt and as she is my fourth my ligaments etc weren't as flexible as they should be. I did check my cervix though (i know its bad but the first pregnancy i have known what to look for and was panicking) and it was super low and soft like at ovulation - it didn't disappear for a couple of weeks and now i can't find it if i tried but the pains lasted a few days although i've not had anything like it again since (although i was really worried about an incompetent cervix). I hope it all works out ok for you to and hope it might help stop you worrying to know someone else has been through the same thing too xQuote:

WAG how many ultrasounds did you have with DS2? I had a lot with all my pregnancies, I wonder if I did any damage too.
I know personal anecdotes doesn't = data but I had loads of scans with DD1 due to growth concerns and she is fine. Taught herself to read by four, now at school and thriving academically and happy and sociable. Because I was worried at the time I did a few online medical searches (ie not just google!) and couldn't find anything concrete.
There's always such a lot to think/worry about when pregnant, though, isn't there? You'd think by now I'd be relaxed about the whole thing but I'm not. I never really feel comfortable with it until about 32 weeks when I know that I won't have a really prem baby. This time the whole VBAC thing is getting to me.
I work in radiology, and there is no real evidence that supports many ultrasounds = any sort of damage. As Mum to three said, there is actually no real concrete evidence to support this. Just a lot of speculation.
Girlsway - go for it!
That's the thing when there is no real concrete evidence of it doing harm or not doing harm I would prefer to stay away myself personally....
I one at 6 weeks, 11 week, 19 weeks, 25 weeks, and then the last couple weeks I had them every couple days to every other day
After you live what I live with you tend to not want any what ifs ... I swear I listen to constant screaming fits for probably at least 5 hours of my day everyday
I am sorry about your DS2, it has to be very heartbreaking for you. I would probably think everyday what went wrong and if i made a mistake somewhere. Do you think it was only the ultrasounds or something else too?
I have no idea it's really just one of the what ifs I would have never thought about if nothing was wrong with him...
I'm not saying not to get an u/s just giving my opinion... I'm hoping I don't need more with this preg altho I would love to see him!
