    Convincing myself opposite gender

    Is anyone else convincing themselves they are having the opposite gender they swayed for? I swayed for a girl and I am convinced it is a boy. I already have 3 boys so I feel like thats all I can have . I feel like it will lighten the blow if I just tell myself its another boy to. Im not going by symptoms or anything. I find out in 2 weeks and feel nervous!!

    Yes yes yes
    I keep saying 'I just know it's a boy'
    I can't even let myself think it could possibly be a girl!

    I always used to have visions of a little girl, what I would dress her in etc
    Now I'm pregnant all I can imagine is a boy
    Eventho I did a good sway I just can't let myself believe it could happen to me
    My partner thinks I'm crazy because he sees it as a 50/50 chance but in my head it's not!
    Anyway.. how far are you? Are you having a gender scan?
    I want to find out as soon as possible but can't really justify £400 for the harmony test!

    Thats exactly what I am going through now im almost scared to know. I'll be 13 weeks on Thursday, I am getting a gender scan at 15 weeks, it costs $50 but I didnt want to wait until 20 weeks. How many weeks are you? When is the earliest you can get a scan to find out?

    Well with my little boy I stayed team yellow because I thought it was better to not know! It was horrible! There's no way I'm going through that again, getting upset when a stranger thinks it's a boy and clinging on to the one person who thinks girl
    Torturing myself with the wives tales and Chinese calendars etc
    I wish I could go back in time and tell myself I will love him so much and I could have enjoyed the pregnancy
    So this time I want to know as soon as I can, I think I'm going to get a gender scan at 16 weeks, that's the earliest I can't find near me anyway!
    I would love to get the harmony test and know for certain but it's so much money
    I want to know, so I can start bonding etc
    Did you find out with your other boys?

    I know two people who had 3 boys and then a girl! It most definitely CAN happen!
    Good luck! Hope we both hear what we want so badly!!

    There is also a part of me that will be able to wrap my head around it better by finding out sooner. I definatly found out with all 3 of my boys, im super impatient. I also thought they were all 3 possibly girls. I think this being my last is where it gets complicated. Its not that I couldn't fall in love with another boy, it's the acceptance of life without ever having a daughter. With my 3rd I only cried one time the day i found out he was a boy not a girl. This time I hope thats how it will be if the same happens and not get too down.

    God yeah I can only imagine the pressure you must be feeling

    I also try to explain to my partner it's not that I don't like baby boys, I would love another boy if someone could garuntee the next one would be a girl! Like you, it's the thought of never having a daughter that kills me!
    I really really hope you hear baby girl! Keep us updated x

    Yes !!! 100% that’s what I did. I just looked at my boys and kept thinking another one of these. I felt so warm at the thought although I was dying for a girl obviously. I also kept
    Thinking about them as adults. It doesn’t seem to matter who has what when I imagine their kids as adults. I might be envious when they’re kids but as adults I couldn’t care what they had. Like the lady with 3 girls at DS1 school. I always think she probably wanted a boy and I feel sad for her but then imagine her with 3 adult daughters and how special that would be. Same with my friend with 3 boys. When I imagine her in future with them as adults I think how amazing it will
    Be for her.
    Weird but worked for me.

    I agree it's so much easier when you think of them as adults - it really doesn't seem that much of a big deal. I think of lovely family
    gatherings in the future when they're all grown up and if there were three boys it would be just as wonderful as if it were two boys and a girl.

    That is so true. I can imagine people seeing me out with 4 boys thinking wow what a handful! Lol but when they grow up all taking care of me and eachother! Its a great way to look at it!
