I felt the same way a few days ago Tiffani. It def comes and goes. I've made a choice to stop obseesing about beta's, symtoms, or lack of them, and if the baby is on the left or right side...damn you Ramzi!! It is what it is. I'm done having babies, no matter what. I really want to enjoy this pregnancy. I made the decision to get a private scan by myself and not tell a soul, even my dh. It may sound horrible but it will protect me from the comments I'll receive if people know what I'm having. At my 18 week u/s I'm going to tell the tech I don't want to know, even though I will already. If all is well with my baby to be, I will get a scan in 9 weeks to find out. I feel bad not telling my dh but he never got the whole gd thing anyway, and he'll probably be happy if I say I don't want to find out. I know he's worried that I'll be sad if I hear another boy. Good luck with your gd. I hate this garbage. I think the only way it will go away is when our generation gets too old to have children. And then we can obsess about our grandchildren...hahahaha!!!!

Thank you ThreeMenAndALady I'm so glad I have you all to talk too.
Don't think that's horrible to have a scan without telling anyone or dh I think it's a great treat for your self plus he doesn't understand how you feel I'd go for it

TM&AL...don't feel bad! It's your hormones messing with you. I, like you, never told DH we were trying! But he doesn't mind at all (I wasn't swaying mind you, but I was doing supplements and everything else for egg health and fertility. So, it's probably a boy, but I'm not picky either way). AND, I did get an u/s last pregnancy, and didn't tell anyone, not even DH, and when we went for our 20 week declined to find out gender! You know, it's not like we're being deceitful in my eyes...honestly I don't complain about not being in the loop when a new girlie calendar goes up on the shop wall. And even if I did tell him, he'd probably just shrug and think women are so strange anyway. You are not a bad person for having feelings or opinions! Don't let anyone tell you that you are!

Hi ladies hope everyone is ok?

Just came online for a quick moan! I've had a horrible wkend with my GD 3 of my friends hav just had little girls its totally hit me that it may never be me!! Then to make it worse last night I had a dream this baby was a boy so I'm not feeling great today, I'm really not sure how I'm gonna feel knowing I'm having another boy! This is my last ever pregnancy and gd is spoiling it for me we had a family BBQ yesterday and that didn't help as I had EVERYONE saying things about babys gender, we hav all boys in our families Barr my brother's little girl and when all the boys were playing yesterday ppl kept saying no pressure to have a girl hey then laughing, I know its not there fault I mean they don't know how I feel do they!
Sorry I'm feeling sorry for myself today
Xx vent over!

Oh sweetie
They say a lot of women dream the opposite my sil dreamt she had a boy and she had a girl.
If I was you I'd keep looking at your perfect nub picture
You know I too had such a awful weekend of gd but I took some time to my self and had a good cry and figured there's nothing I can do to change the outcome now it is what it is and I adore my boys and if I have to be the only princess in my house then that's the way it gonna be. Mind you I'll probably be crying and completely insane again next week lol I love gd and pg hormones Hope you feel better xx

Sending big hugs to everyone feeling down

I decided at the weekend that I need to try and enjoy this period of not knowing, I have a long time to wait until I find out the gender, so up until then I'm focusing on the fact that I may be having a girl. I know I will be majorly stressed before the scan hoping everything is ok and wondering if I will ever see anything other than a winky on the ultrasound but I guess the less time I stress about it the better it is for me and the baby. Nothing I can do about it now, I know I will feel upset if it isn't a girl, this is our last baby. But I also know that I wouldn't swap my boys for anything so as much as I will feel disappointed about not having a girl I will never regret having another boy - if that makes sense? If another boy makes it through despite the sway etc then he really must want to be here!

I had a dream that I had a baby girl when I was pregnant with my first ds so don't stress about dreams! So far this pregnancy I had a dream that I had triplets and that it was two boys and a girl. When I woke up and thought about it I figure it is because I have two boys already and I'm hoping this one is a girl - not an omen I'm having triplets lol!!
A good friend of mine is expecting a girl next month, and another friend is due a month before me and I have a feeling she will have a girl too. I feel happy for them but envious at the same time but at least I will have an excuse to buy girly things even if I have another boy.

I'm not sure this pregnancy has sunk in yet at all tbh, I've been super busy and it doesn't quite feel real. My morning sickness has got worse the last few days and I'm feeling totally yuck with awful skin and hair. I haven't even started feeling excited about it yet which I feel bad about, but I think it will hit me when we hear the heartbeat at around 12 weeks. I can hopefully relax a bit more then too as I am really paranoid about mc, I kind of feel having had two healthy pregnancies the odds must be against me for not having a mc. Silly I know, especially as I'm having morning sickness etc which indicates everything is going as it should be.

I can't tell you how much I hope and pray we all have healthy pregnancies and get the gender we are hoping for to complete our families. xxx
