Oh, HappyLea - how frustrating!!! Can you get a private scan earlier?

[HappyLea]

I was thinking about having another gender scan at a different place but just dont know if to do it or try and wait? Its twice now baby hasn't been very co-operative and what if hides away again? Its killing me!

oh happy lea, the suspense must be killing you!! i am going back to my gut and saying maybe the baby is a girl afterall? That was kind of encouraging the tech said not buy blue yet....If I were you, I'd try to find another scan place asap to see if I could find out sooner...I don't think I could live 3 weeks in a limbo, and esp. now that you've been given a little hope.... /hugs

And Peony, thx for the words hun! I think she has early stages of dementia (undiagonsed) because she always speaks her mind way too often and everything is always about her. And that's not how it was when I was younger. She was a lot better than that...or at least that's how my memories are. We never had a problem until I moved away (only an hour away!) and that's when our trouble began, she never liked my DH for "taking me away" from her, but even if it wasn't him, it woudl have been a different man I'd have fallen in love with and moved out...I just don't understand...I was never going to be a living with her my whole life, and I don't know why/how she got that idea, because I always talked about having a husband and kids one day, one of my life's dreams.

HappyLea - I think most private places will give you a free repeat scan if they can't see the gender at your appointment. One tip I've heard is to drink lots and lots of water in the days leading up to the u/s to make sure you have lots of amniotic fluid for the baby to move around in, and then having something sweet like orange juice an hour before the appointment. If I were you I'd go for it - there's no way I could wait another 3 weeks!

HappyLea, I think you may have a shy little girl!

I agree with Mocha, and I would be ALL OVER another scan. I couldn't wait 3 more weeks!

Hi everyone. Thought i'd join in the due date thread. I am due October 28th, but as this will be my 4th (and last) c-section i will be booked to have baby probably around the 16th. My 2 oldest daughters birthdays are the 12th and 16th of October so i'll have 3 birthdays in a week!! Busy times!! Also found out last week that our lucky last baby is a little boy. Very excited!!

[Mochagirl]

Welcome, Princess, and congrats on your baby boy!!! Did you sway?

[PrincessX3]

Thanks. No I didn't sway. I really didn't even know much about it until after I'd fallen pregnant and found sites like this one.

Thanks and congrats on your daughter!! Still hasn't sunk in yet that we'll have a son in October. I really can't believe it. I had completely convinced myself that we'd be having DD#4, so it came as such a shock. A good shock!!
