I am so scared about my scan tomorrow and getting really worried. This is just freaking me out so much - probably because its so damn final and I just feel like after everything I've been through I should get a girl; but the reality is when I think about my daughter it doesn't seem real, it seems so far away like a dream I can't even dream and just makes me really feel like it will never come true.
Last night I was sitting on the couch with my dh and said to him "aren't you scared for the u/s on Tuesday? Aren't you scared to see a penis?"
He relied "No, I'm not scared to see a penis, I'm scared for you to see a penis. I just want a healthy baby." I didn't say anything.
I know he's right, and I know he won't be disappointed- and I kept telling myself that healthy is all that matters in the end and gender is not the most important.
So then we went to bed and I could NOT sleep. I kept thinking of my scan tomorrow and dozing off but waking up every hour on the hour. Towrds the early morning I had a dream. I was at my scan and the doc was explaining the direction on the nub meant ... and then said "and you have a little boy in there". I literally woke up before I could react with the worst pain in my heart. It felt so real. And now I can't help but think that its totally a boy cause i dreamt it. I know it was in my head and its my biggest fear and that's probably what happened but now I just completely feel defeated. Like I just know its another boy.
I asked myself this morning if I really want to know tomorrow? And I think I have to. Why go on longer with this hope that I could have a girl when I'm not. If I'm not having a daughter I just need to deal with it. Not sure how I'm going to do that - but what choice do I have?
Good luck today Gpkm!!
Aidansmum - that's great news!! :)
I have a SIL (BIL's wife) that is like this. When she found out I was pregnant with my second, she stopped by and gave me pink booties. That sounds like a sweet gesture, but knowing her it was more like trying to jinx me. She had 2 girls and really wanted a boy. She didn't want us to get a boy and girl. She eventually got her boy but I still don't really even want her to find out...feel like she'll secretly hope we get all boys. She's always been jealous of us, but not willing to do what we've had to do to get what we have. Just one of those fake people, always saying "sweetie" and "hun" but I've just seen her true side one too many times. It's crazy that the people that are supposed to be closest to you and wish you the best are sometimes the ones that are the most jealous and worst intentions :( Hope you get to hear girl PrayforPrincess!Quote:

I really didn't want to be so worked up about gender...but then I have those crazy dreams and can't help but think about it all day.
Spicy - that's great you are hoping for a boy! Good to see! Boys are great. If I had two girls I would be desperate for a boy. Actually, with my first I really wanted a boy, though at that time it wouldn't have been as big of a deal to me if it wasn't - good luck!
Great news Aidansmum and good luck on your scan today Gpkm!!!
Thanks, scan went well. Baby all looks well, waving their arms around. Attachment 16896
Not a great picture, still no clue if it's a boy or girl
Attachment 16897
Don't think you can see anything more on this one
Oh my GPKM - that is a hard pic. Glad your scan went well. I think you can see more in the 1st pic. You can see the nub I believe -- its blurry but there.
I think this totally looks like it could be a girl!!! If what I think I'm looking at is the nub - its pointing straight out, just can't see the end of it well.
You are definitely still in the game here! Nothing is pointing up so thats a VERY good sign!
Gpkm, it's pretty blurry, but if what I can see is a nub, it's looking good! Fx
PFP, the dream is just your mind facing your fears so you can prepare for the worst, BUT, it's just a dream, you still have every chance! I'll be anxiously waiting for your result. I'm glad your Dh's heart is in the right place too, that helps.
Can you guys assuage my nerves!? There are about 75% confirmed blue for the ttc blue boards. This is great, but makes me nervous because someone has to be in the 25% and get pink! I am feel like just to even out the birth rate in 2014, I will get another pink. Talk me out of this silliness.
Spicy, I know well about that sense of doom when you look at the statistics and go 'I am going to stuff up those numbers, I just know it!'. Our silly minds plays tricks on us, but you have all the chance in the world to have your blue bundle! Before I found out I am having my little girl (I got that call on a monday) I spent the whole weekend with the most dreadful sense of doom, just knowing FOr SURE it was a boy and talking me out of having any hope at all, and here I am, expecting my little pink miracle. It's just your mind playing tricks on you. You have all the reason to believe! I am keeping everything crossed for you. When are you finding out?
Aidansmum so happy that all worked out with the antibodies!
PFP seriously good luck tomorrow!!! I have my fingers crossed that you are going to hear girl!!!!!
Gpkm glad baby is doing well!
Spicy you can have all of my boy luck & Aidansmum is right our dreams are just our fears way of coming out.
Ok ladies I caved & scheduled a private gender scan for tomorrow morning. Went back & forth on if it was even worth it since I'm sure it will come back boy. I mean really the chance of maternity21 being wrong is so small but I just need to know. I have not told anyone I am going I think I am pretty OK with hearing boy but since I still have hope at this point I am not sure what I'm going to feel when I get visual confirmation. Guess its down to a lot of hope & prayers tonight cause I will have an answer for sure tomorrow!
Thanks ladies. I am so scared.
Dreams i hope we both have pink tomorrow. I'll b thinking of u
dreams, I really hope you find the test was wrong for you, but I'm glad you are ready to accept the opposite as well. x
PFP, loads of luck, thinking of you. x
Good luck dreams, either way it goes you are very lucky to have a healthy baby. Good luck tomorrow!
Good luck to all that have scans today!!!! Will be thinking of you guys!!
As for me, i am obsessing about my nub lol I can't seem to get it out of my head. I posted in 3 different places and got tons of girl guesses but a few boy guesses that have me obsessing :/ 2 more weeks to go until my 15 week appointment so I am really hoping baby cooperates!!! I am still 100% convinced it's a boy but it seems as though my friends are having a harder time accepting that than me !!
Just wanted to say good luck too! I've been over here stalking some since my due date thread is slow right now and I need some distractions!
Praying for pink for you ladies!!
I love having you here :)
Grease - did you have bad MS this time? Didn't you have it severely with the others?
I am a stalker too! Good luck with the scans today ladies!
Nope, I had 0 with the boy, not even a hint of nausea, no cravings no nothing. With this one I have had some cravings and some nausea and queasiness up until 11 weeks and then it kind of stoppedQuote:

Stalking ;)
Stalking too lol;)
Are you really sick NC?
I've been a lot sicker with this one. But not sure if his has anything to do with gender. I do know a lot of people IRL who have been so much sicker with their girls than boys tho. So hoping its a sign!
I love that I'm not the only stalker!! LOL!Quote:

I had no ms with my two boys but with this pregnancy was v nauseous from about 7 weeks to 13 weeks.Quote:

Thank you all for your good luck wishes! Maternity21 was correct this is def all boy. I'm kind of all over the place at the moment. Keep thinking what could I have done differently but I felt my sway was strong & there is not much that could be changed. Maybe get the full 6days of cardio or not have added the metformin & & done insulin resistant LE. I just don't know. I did do the same astro thing that Aidansmum did & that predicted boy also. So maybe a girl just wasn't in my cards no matter what I did.
I am very happy I got to see baby. He was quite active & we got great pictures of all of him. My 3year old came & was super excited to see his baby brother. Please don't get me wrong I am super excited to be having a healthy baby boy its just I have done the boy thing so many times. It kind of makes it hard to be excited. I have 3 awesome sons & at this point it is kind of hard imaging this LO joining them. On the other hand they are all such great kids its hard to imagine this one could be anything less.
My DD is going to be heartbroken she cried to me the other day that she didn't want any more boys in the house & that this had to be a girl. I tried to explain to her how special it is that she is the only girl. She has her own room, her own stuff & if this was a girl she would have to share her room esp with a baby. She didn't want to hear it. Realistically I know this is best for her also. She will be 10years older than baby & that would make it hard for them to be close plus as she hits hers preteens I highly doubt she would want a preschooler in her room messing with her stuff.
What I really wish is that this didn't have to be so final. I'm happy to have another son I just wish I was young enough, didn't get as sick as I did & had enough $$ to consider trying again. I wish I had those options. Maybe I could try to talk DH into another but I don't know if that would be worth it. I have been so sick this time & that's just not fair to anyone. Poor DH has been working a ton & picking up my slack at home & he has bit quite cranky. Not that I blame him for being cranky but at the moment I'm just not in the mood for it.
I guess it is what it is. Thanks for listening to my vent. Need to let go of what I wanted & be thankful for what I have. 4 amazing, healthy kids & another one on the way. I know I am very blessed & watching & learning about so many of your stories just trying to have your DD's reminds me to be grateful for what I do have.
Aw dreams, congrats on your new baby son! Sorry you didn't hear girl but I'm a strong believer that we are given what we truly need in life, this little man was obviously meant to be. You and your daughter will have a truly special relationship and friendship (this is what I dream of!). Don't be too tough on yourself if you have days where you feel a bit more disappointed than others, when he is born that will all dissolve away xxx

Here "it" is ladies. These are the nub shots I asked for.
Unfortunately -- the doctor could not tell me. She knows me well, and said she wanted to tell me so badly; but she just was not sure. She said it could definitely be a girl, but she could not say for sure.
So now unfortunately I have to wait 6 more weeks til my 18 to find out!!
I can't believe it. I mean, at least its not in the air, and I think the nub at the end is pointing straight, not angled up.
But I wish they could say "girl" but the baby was moving SOOOO much (like summer saults, butt in the air, flipping around) and they could barely get the measurements they were looking for no less get a good gender guess. I was in there for 45 minutes them trying to get the shots they wanted.
At best, at least they did not say it was defnitely a boy.
What do you all think? Do I have hope?
Of course I am going to be obsessed comparing to confirmed girl pics for the next 6 weeks....

I think those nubs are super promising. I mentioned earlier in these threads, but most of the time, boy nubs are super obvious. Girl nubs are less reliable, and therefore, I think you can definitely lean pink here. It looks like the baby is tilted away from the picture, but it looks mostly parallel to the spine. I think it's nice that you can at least have a few more weeks of hope to get a definite, whereas seeing a 'boyish' nub would have been tough. I really really don't like nubs! They mess with your head. :)
at 12 weeks it's kind of early I still think it can go either way you are right though it isn't sticking straight up! Good Luck!
I think you still have a great shot for pink hun!
dreams, I'm sorry you didn't hear girl but congratulations on a healthy baby boy, I'm sure he'll be loving and lovable and all you hope for in a son x
PFP, glad baby is healthy is all is well. I am leaning girl as well. Now, if you are as nearly obssessed as I was with the nub (and the tech did not get a nub shot!) download a software (it's free) called video to jpg converter. Then play the ultrasound movie and as the program to take pictures second by second, you will get sooo many nub shots you won't know what to do with them. That's what I did (cause I am mental lol) and got very girlie nubs that way. But yours is looking girlie, I think boys are more bulbous and yours is like a little sandwich, very similar to mine.

Dreams I am so sorry you didn't hear pink, but I am so glad your little one is healthy :heart:
PFP glad to hear baby is healthy and those nubs sure do look pink. Although not as clear but definitely looking very parallel and less than a 30 degree angle :HH: Hope this is your princess!!
Aidan's mum did you check out my nub? I got mostly girl guesses but my gut says boy lol
