Pinkin, i know its hard and i will prob be the same in a week, but you may very well have a girl in there. I have seen people with boy guesses, go onto have a girl and vice versa.

When i found out DS3 was a boy i was upset but it gets easier. I couldnt imagine life without him, he is my cheeky lil monkey!

I could never imagine how it feels to be carrying a baby girl, it must be an amazing feeling to be carrying your daughter. This will be our last baby and i hope to enjoy every single minute of it. 6 days to my 12 week scan....eeek!!!

Hi happylea, I guess its just that I had my scan I have had boy votes , I think boy from my pics to tho I have no idea why and i just think of course its a boy , why wouldnt it be! I just felt like I had hope before my scan.. I feel i have none left now, I guess I will feel better about it in time.
Good luck with your scan I hope you feel a whole lot better with it then what i do! Cant wait to see your pics!

Pinkin I had an old schoolfriend on facebook a while ago who was pregnant and posted her scan pic - it was a VERY clear boy nub no doubt about it... but then she announced she was having a girl! I deleted her right away, but the point is that even obvious boy nubs are not without hope.

I too had this recently with in old friend on facebook but was the opposite way, the 12+ week scan was a very girly nub and she just announce she is having a boy.

Pinkin i dont think yours is obviously a boy either so it still maybe your girl. When is your next scan?

[pinkin2011]

I am having a scan at 20 weeks... But not sure if I should waste my money on an earlier one when its a boy anyway I know that doesnt sound nice I dont mean it to sound like that but Id rather not waste my money .. I think I will just wait it out until 20 weeks I already have it in my head its a boy now..
what are you girls doing? having early gender scans or waiting until 20 weeks?

[rainbowflower]

I decided before the dating scan that if I thought it could be a girl at the dating scan I'd pay for an early gender scan... and TBH I came away from the dating scan still uncertain so have booked a gender scan

however, even that is taking forever to come and the days seem to be getting longer as I count them down! still not sure if it was a good decision or not as no doubt it'll be a boy too

we've named him already,though, and I think that makes it being a boy less of a shock (if it is) when we do find out

my 20 week scan isn't until 28th so over a whole month away and not sure I can wait that long!

[pinkin2011]

Fair enough! and you are so close to 16 weeks you could really find out anytime you like now! I think naming the baby is a good idea I might try that actually!

[rainbowflower]

yes I do think naming him has made him more real but still scared I'll feel deflated if it turns out it's really him, then will come all of the guilt.. *sigh*

my gender scan is coming up, actually! although I'm refusing to let myself visualise hearing girl at the scan at the moment

and also trying to focus on how lucky I am to be pregnant at all as someone else I know was due on the same day but had a MMC found at her dating scan

[HappyLea]

I have decided that if i get a good nub shot or not i will book a gender scan, just so we know for certain and get used to it, if it is a boy.

After found out DS3 was a boy once i started to buy clothes for him and stuff and we picked a name it was much easier.

I have been thinking of boys names already but wont think of a girls name, i cant let myself do it. Struggling to pick a boys name to go with our other son's DH is so picky when it comes to names. He is a police officer and if he knows a criminal with the name then we cant have it. Its so hard to choose a boys name.

Ladies - I'm so sorry you're feeling down. I've been there. GD is horrible. I definitely found that naming ds3 helped, and also buying some cute boy things for him.

But for all of you bummed after your 12 week scan - there really is still hope. Nub guessing depends so much on the angle and quality if your shot. The same baby can look like a boy or girl in different shots taken on the same day.
