Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2016

Ok girls, April 24th is my gender scan, I'll be around 21 weeks. At first we said we were not finding out because I have 2 boys and scared I'll be upset if I hear another boy. Since then I've posted my 12.5 week scan on 3 different websites and everyone guesses girl. I have 3 full body profile shots- 1 was far away but when I took a picture of it and got closer u can see it does look a bit girly. I don't think u can anything in the other 2 scans. Hubby doesn't care either way. So would you find out or not??? I would love to know if it is a girl but would rather wAit if a boy. Hard to do!!!

I'm leaning towards finding out and if we don't want to tell then we won't. I need to buy new baby gear so gender buying would be fun. Plus some friends have girl clothes they could give me......

Any thoughts?

Post your scans here:-) I couldn't wait to find out so I'm biased. Haha.

Yes, post the pics!

No nub shot :( Baby was uncooperative & had his/her legs crossed and is apperantly not a fan of the profile angle. We were lucky to get a profile shot but only chest and face.

But.... we got the harmony after all!!! The genetic counselor said she worked some kind of formula yesterday. Just from age we have a 1 in like 280 chance of an abnormality. BUT when she factored in my known chromosomal abnormality loss she said it brought our odds up to about the same as a 35 year old. Not good news really, except that it meant we got the Harmony test. NT scan was good with 2.5 mm measurement (3.0+ is where they get concerned and consider further testing). Also, not only are we getting the harmony test but we are getting the expanded harmony test which tests for trisomy 22, 15, 4, 1 and a couple others I can't recall due to our trisomy 22 loss. The expanded portion is more dicey and could produce false positives or false negatives at a higher rate than the basic harmony, but we felt like we want to know everything there is to know. Now we wait 10-14 days for results.

I'll post pics when I get home. Hard to take pics of the u/s pics in a moving vehicle.

🙏 for a healthy 🌈 🚼

My feelings are the same. I have 2 boys and would love to know if it's a girl but would rather wait until the birth if its a boy, impossible thing to ask right?? Ha! I *think* I'm going to find out for myself but not tell anyone, DH doesn't want to know so I'm not telling him if I know. He refuses to come to any ultrasounds where the gender may possibly be revealed he feels so strongly about it, lol. I am only finding out bc I want to unload some of our boy clothing if its a girl which seems shallow I know but I don't want to do it with a newborn and I know I'll never get to it later if I don't do it now. If it's another boy then I'm all set but will still by some new things bc each baby deserves their own special things too I think (middle child, second born girl talking). ;)

It is however a hilarious photo. The nub for girls is flat and more forked and boys are at an angle. My little one showed parts over and over again. But the best shot is the profile shot so the baby is flat and hopefully the leg doesn't cover anything. I'll upload my last pregnancy ultrasound for you to compare as they are both very good clear and obvious.

Now that things have been explained to me (lol) I think girl too but also bc of the time span that you became pregnant again after your last baby. That seems to sway girl I have noticed, maybe bc nutrients/minerals are lower in the mother's body? My OB/GYN told me that it takes a minimum of 18 months for a mother's body to replenish/recover from a full term pregnancy.

Either way, I'm thinking girl for you!! :)

Aw, I am loving these sweet pics of ultrasounds!! I won't even venture a guess at gender nubs Twointow bc I am clueless about them, lol. :)

I heard our baby's heartbeat for the 1st time today (I'm 12 weeks and 5 days today). It was bouncing around the 160's (which means nothing, I know!! ;) ) but it was so sweet to hear since I haven't heard one yet, my stomach is still pretty much flat especially when I lay down so it was nice to know there is a little bean with a beating heart in there. :) I go for my 1st ultrasound tomorrow. I'm so excited!!

My dh is finding out but I'm not. He's the one that cares about gender. I would love a boy to have one of each but he wants one more than anything. I'm hoping to make it to birth not knowing.
