ColdWater, can you take a look please?

Can you just post a picture? I'm sure that is why people are being cautious. This is a huge deal for you obviously and usually we see tons of pics when we finally get our desired gender.

Hi Joannak. I can't make sense of the up date my brain is mush lately! I'm guessing you thought it was a boy and your doctor said 80% girl yesterday but some people (on IG) are not in agreement?
Either way don't let others get you down.You know your own doctor,you know what you saw with your own eyes and you know no matter what your baby will be loved and cherished.

Stay in your positive bubble hun and don't let anyone burst it, until you can prove them otherwise. Best of luck! Fingers crossed for you.xx

Wishing you all the best...and that this really is your little girl, JoannaK.
I couldn't even venture a guess on the sex...my doctor doesn't even discuss sex until at least 16 weeks. In fact, I didn't even know what a nub was until this site. (Still not sure what they are or what I'm looking at, actually. lol)

[nuthinbutpink]

And who cares what anyone else thinks?? If you saw girl then hopefully it is. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks girls- I really need this support. I've come down with a chest infection, I've been a WRECK by being swayed by people's opinions and honestly, I'm almost half glad that I didn't get photos and videos (he doesn't usually do it, though I know if I'd asked, I could have- so I am kicking myself a bit now), but I just know had I gotten some photos, I would have had people still trying to argue, and I'm just so so tired of it I've been going from one extreme to the other for three days straight- going between "no it's definitely a boy" to "no it's definitely a girl" and I physically cannot take anymore. I understand people wanting to make me cautious about it all (despite what I know about my doctor), but the thing is, I just said it over on in-gender, it seems like a lot of people over there AREN'T really too interested in me being cautious- some of them even outright said my specialist is WRONG about this gender. And I just think that's unnecessary and really painful, considering what I've gone through in the last few days... I'm so exhausted now

woah I totally missed this thread, theres too many pages to read back now but from the last few pages if your tech says girl then its a girl! very many congratulations! I think I would have slightly leaned towards girl based on your first photo as the head is very round and nub is in line with spine. Don't worry about people putting you down either, its very easy to sit anonymously at a computer and judge, you and your tech know what you saw put your faith in him and not them. Wishing you all the best xx

Oh my lord, thankyou SOOOOOO much Irishmom, and Bumblebee- Irishmom, have you had issues on ingender too? I just find them to be so critical!! (And I apologise to anyone reading this who's also on ingender, because I know there are a lot of people on both sites), but I just thought that, these people KNEW how much agony I was in before this scan, and that I just wanted to know SOMETHING for sure. Of COURSE I would love and care for a boy, just as I would love and care for a girl. But it really feels like these people are trying to take my happiness away, I have explained to them (or tried to, they don't seem to listen) that I KNOW MY DOCTOR. he never EVER EVER EVER EVER says anything unless he's absolutely sure. And people on ingender said to me "oh he said he's only 80 % sure, that's not a lot"! Well, wouldn't you think he'd be a BAD DOCTOR if he came out and said "oh im 100% sure", because NOTHING is 100% sure. It's not 100% certain that I could walk out of my house and have a meteorite land on it!!!!! So .....80% sure from a specialist who NEVER makes a statement unless he's VERY VERY sure...... what would you take out of that!? I left there feeling SO CONFIDENT, and I woke up this morning and after reading on in-gender, that confidence is G-0-N-E

Hun I think they do understand the agony you were in before the scan and that's why they are saying these things to you. Imagine the agony of having to paint over your pink room(i'm not being cruel by saying this but you said on IG if you have to paint over it you will). That's what they are trying to protect you from. Nobody is saying your tech is wrong, he probably isn't but at 13 weeks it's very difficult to know 100% as baby parts are so similar then. Just out of interest was it a private scan you went for? Could you go for another after 16 weeks or do you have to wait til 20 weeks? Personally I didn't believe girl until a week after she was born lol. I think from what they are saying every single one of them on IG are praying you have a girl. They are all rooting for you as I am. Hugs xxx

Thanks- again, I don't care having to paint over a wall, what's the big deal with that? And yes it was a private scan, and my obstetrician also came in and watched. I'm just tired of being so sure about something and having it constantly taken away, and then a little given back, then taken away etc. It is just exhausting, My next scan isn't until the 21st of June, I'll be 19.5 weeks then- surely THEN I'll be able to prove something
