Due in Mar/April/May 2015

Sorry not sure why the other one didn't attach, here it is for comparison.
Attachment 22207

Primal this must be absolutely nerve wrecking for you! I imagine I will be in the exact same position next week. At least you can feel assured that when she did say boy you didn't break down and actually felt relief!

I hate to be a nay sayer too but I also think boy because there seems to be scrotum in your pic and the protrusion is a lot further out than the confirmed girl bits. Please do not take this as anything more than a guess from a NON-expert and I desperately want you to hear girl instead and rub that fact in my face :) xxx

I'm sorry Primal. I wish I could lend you some comfort, but I know what you are going through is not easy. I am currently taking college classes, so sometimes my workload is able to take my mind off of things for a while. Maybe you can find a project to work on that will do the same for you? Or maybe read a book that you've been wanting to read for a long while? Or binge watch a television series on Netflix? I'm sure you have tried many things, I am just trying to think of a way that I can help. For now, I am sending you lots and lots of virtual hugs. xoxo

Primal, I am so sorry you are feeling this way.
I know nothing anyone says is going to shut off your brain:) BUT these are the things I wanted to point out.
Your tech was absolutely positive that that "boy nub" was NOT the nub. I feel like even if another tech looks at the still shot they have a disadvantage because they did not see it in "real time".
I know atomic guessed on your nub, I know she is not a nub person but she was very confident in her guess. And I know she doesn't like to give false hope.
Now for the potty shot:) I don't think they like to go by potty shots at this stage because they ALL protrude from the body. That is how we get a "nub" because it all sticks out;) I am no expert. But I don't think your potty shot matches the boy potty shot. The big difference to me is the middle line. It does not stick out past or even equal to the outer lines. Which makes me think clitoris not penis:-D

Who knows who is right on their guess? Nobody, because it is a GUESS. Whether you find out today or weeks from now the gender is not going to change of the growing baby inside you, get what I mean? Baby is going to love you boy or girl. You are going to love baby boy or girl. It is what it is.

Honestly I think most of us who have gd are going to either obsess over the gender or obsess over not obsessing. Maybe concentrate on that day of your sons taekwondo performance. Remember how you felt when your youngest hugged your oldest. What you felt in that moment was the love of a mother. Those feeling brought tears of joy. Love and Joy that would not have changed if it was sons or daughters you were proud of.

Please don't beat yourself up because you can't control what you are feeling! And I think you should deem this 3rd child of yours grounded for life for being such a little tease;)

I'm here and reading. Wanted to send hugs to you Primal. I stand by my guess, but I can tell it all is just tearing you up. :( Sorry the scan made it worse instead of better. I do think processing it all is good, instead of keeping it inside.

Me...I'm keeping it all inside ;) Lol. Next week is my scan for heart and spine and placenta. I am so nervous. I hope baby is okay. I've been so sick these past few weeks, I seriously think stress has been working against me and I've caught one thing after another (currently bronchitis). I think I'll be better after I hear whatever the prognosis on baby is. I just have this feeling that I can't explain, like I need to be prepared or something. Which makes me think something is wrong. I hope I'm just projecting and thinking the worst and baby is okay. I can even deal with a c-section for previa, I just want a healthy heart and spine (we have spina bifida in my family, which adds to the nerves).

Anywho. I hope the gender scans and nub shots go great!! I'll be back around after we have more answers. It's just been a weird month. Hoping you ladies all hear what you want!!

Pnirmal big Hugs! I know your fine with a boy and I did the same as you! I wanted to make peace with another Son. And I was but I've spend loads of nights googling and I didn't have a nub pic. Saw one at 15 WK's and thought it was nothing as I was 15 weeks.
Then I saw confirmed girl pics from 15 WK's. And her we went again. It was horrible. I felt beaten like my last hope was gone. (Though it al pointed at girl) I just didn't want to go to the place i've been 3 times before.
The disapointment. I didn't want to do that to me and my baby.
I tried to convince myself it was a Son and be happy about it.
But limboland is horrible.
When I was at the scan and was Told girl I felt peace. But I know what I would have felt if I was Told boy. (Hate myself for that)
Now I know that it has nothing to do with our child cause I now can honestly say I feel exactly the same to my unborn daughter as I did to my lovely sins at the same gestation.
And knowing THAT brings the most peace. I would have loved another Son just as much.

I can't help you with your feelings. I find the pics hard to guess on 50-50.
But I can let you know that I think what your going through is normal.


Big Hugs

Sorry you are going through this stress primal, you have made my mind up I am definitely team green..

Has anyone heard from mumofsix??? Freaking out a bit about her. :/

Thanks everyone... Hotdogz that must be stressful, I think alot of mothers worry that their baby might be unwell but when there is actually congenital illness in your family it must be extremely nerve wracking. Wishing you a healthy & uncomplicated scan.

BabyBeau I think you're wise, I wouldn't have stayed Team Green for the entire pregnancy but if I could go back now I certainly would stay Team Green until the point that I could find out for sure.

Sweet Dream you're right the limbo land is terrible but I am feeling a bit better, only because when my friend's sonographer friend said "BOY" I wasn't devistated. I haven't been able to work out what I am upset & afraid of but I think now that it's not having a boy, I'm actually afraid of being upset. My last two pregnancies were full of anxiety, fear & stress & I don't want another pregnancy like that. Don't get me wrong I do think there will be some level of disappointment if this baby turns out to be blue but I don't think I will fall to pieces.

So now I'm trying to look at it like that, an exciting and slightly anxious wait to find out more about this baby that I already love. We have picked a boy's name which I'm practicing writing down & I think I am finally adjusting to this new state of my pregnancy with less dear & panic than before.

Thanks all for your concern. Xx

I told the midwife I was still feeling sick today and she said "oh another girl then" why say anything like that??

Oh that's really insensitive BabyBeau. My cousin, close friend and oh, PRINCESS KATE all suffered with hyperemesis and had boys so that whole girl=sick thing is just a myth anyway. People always say insensitive stuff to pregnant women, a Team Leader at work has taken to addressing me as "Fatty". She seems to think it's endearing. She's really busty so I did consider calling her "Titties" in return but have decided against it because, well, I'm not a complete arsehole!!
