Anyone else due??

[Indira]

Indira, you're brave! Friend-to-friend, I have to say I'm a bit worried with your last comments. What if you set yourself up for it being a girl & then it's a boy? Are you worried about being majorly depressed & missing out on his first few weeks? (Or, what if it's a girl & you miss out on a pregnancy KNOWING it's a girl?) I knew that DS3 was a boy & I STILL had a hard time after delivering him. It made me sad to hear the other nurses talking about the girls that had been born...

Yes I am aware of this risk. What happened is that we only had a boy´s name before that I love and no real girl names. Now I found a girl´s name that I just love, DH will love it too because it´s similar to his grandmother´s name. So now Í am visualising this girl with a name, that is not helping to stay neutral lol. I keep remembering myself that it may be a boy and it´s not that I´m totally convinced it´s a girl, it´s that I see the happy ending in my mind. I won´t go into labour having convinved myself completely that it is a girl. And I am thinking about finding out more near the end, I don´t want to find out now and be disappointed for a long time in pregnancy. For now I´m delaying and later one we´ll see.
I think I can´t tell beforehand how I will feel if it´s a boy, I may have a hard time in his first weeks. For now I feel I will be ok with a boy too, but I tend to underestimate problems.

Glad about the cord!

honestly indira, after the ultrasound was done and out of the way,i dont stress about the gender anymore, i still think about it, but it dosent stress me out or depress me like it did before,
and i know that no matter what is between the legs, once its born and in my arms it wont matter.

it was the few weeks before the scan that totally stressed me out, i was so convinced that i would go in there and have boy bits jump up at me, and ruin the pregnancy, but now that is done, i didnt see boy or girl bits, i can now enjoy the pregnancy, and the bonding with the baby, and also the possibility that it might be a girl, instead of knowing its another boy, if that makes sense....

Hi girls hope your all well. Happy to hear about the cord being fine now Applesoup.
I saw my obs today and baby looked fine he would not do a gender scan for me so I managed to locate one else where that do gender scans from 16 weeks and no referral needed so I have booked myself for one on Sunday. Ill be about 17 weeks then. I'm extremely petrified and don't feel confident at all now. The other night I also had a dream I gave birth to a baby girl, dont dreams usually mean the opposite? I just don't know if I want to find out now...
Applesoup we need you more then ever send me your pink wishes please

[dannikins]

i dont know about dreams meaning the opposite, i have had both gender dreams for all my pregnancies.

i had a dream a few nights ago, that i had a boy, but when i changed his nappy his willy fell off, and it was a girl....

i was totally stressed out about it all a few weeks before my scan too.

You got it!

Dreams. They can be all over the place. This time, I only had 1 gender dream & it was a girl. With DS3...I kept dreaming about my little girl GROWING a penis.

[Indira]

Belle sorry you couldn´t have a peek. Do you have your gender scan tomorrow or in a week?

I have very vivid dreams all the time, but I never dream about babies. Last night I had a nightmare about a couple that was trying to get into our house, I kept running around to close doors and windows, they kept turning up, so weird.

Kell- good luck at the scan tomorrow.

sorry been away for a few days, will catch up with you all soon

[Kell]

Thanks Indigo hun!

My dreams are always quite vivid a remember them for a matter of seconds and then they just disappear! Does my head in! Lol

Hope all ladies and babies are doing well

[Indira]

Good luck Kell, I have my fingers crossed!

Well it's a Girl for us. I went for a 17 week gender ultrasound today and it was an obvious girl and the doctor said 100 per cent sure. I still can't believe it. I have pics to post on the ultrasound board in the next couple of days. My gender dream came true. I did not tell anyone other then my 2 sisters what I'm having and plan on keeping it that way for now anyway. Applesoup your pink wishes to me worked now we can spread more around.
Good luck Kell FX
