Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll call!

It's because you haven't been told one way or the other. Still left guessing and tormenting yourself. Honestly there isn't a clear nub on your pics at all so I wouldn't break your heart on it at all xx

[mrshonyez]

I had lots of mini freak outs before I knew for sure... I think it's the 'what if' that got to me the most! But now that I know, I've decided there's nothing I can do to change it (not that I'd want to change my baby of course) so I might as well get excited! Plus I'm still holding out hope that DH will agree to go for a 4th . I definitely wouldn't give up yet, and I hope you get a pleasant surprise at your scan!! At least all these wonderful ladies are here to help us get through either way!

I'm leaning towards ending my team green dream! Might try to get an appointment Friday! I kinda want my boys (well the 5 year old) to get to see the baby on u/s. I think it would be a really cool experience! I'm just a little worried its the wrong choice since I was determined to wait from the start! I feel like I'm going against my better judgement! I'll stew over it a couple days and then decide! NC its not over til they say boy so remember you are still in it... But I'm thinking maybe knowing is better for both of us than this limbo!!

Beachy - I really didnt see anything boyish on your pics....so i certainly dont think your chances of girl are shot.

I can imagine its tough! Im only at 8 weeks and the not knowing is driving me mental - I just want to know!

I'd say book in a scan, find out for sure, and then you can driving yourself round the twist - you'll know for sure, then there will be no more 'what ifs' or false hope, or false sadness.

Coco - dont feel that you 'shouldnt' find out just because you had decided that at the beginning of the pregnancy - if you think you will feel better by knowing, then book yourself in and find out......if its going to make things easier, and it means there will be one less thing 'playing' on your mind then go ahead and find out Let us know how you go....

We are going for an NT in 23 days, and im still in 2 minds wether to ask the tech anything about the nub / gender guesses. Part of me thinks that no matter what i hear I wont believe it with certainty, which means i will be in the same place as I was before. Part of me thinks i should just enjoy the 12 weeks scan as an opportunity to see out little baby, and then on the 1st of December when we have our gender scan I will find out for certain then, with no if's or buts or maybe's.
Not sure though - becuase of course part of me wants to ask the tech, get a nub pic, and post it on here! What do you girls think?

[Cinss]

Lassie i think it depends on the tech, unfortunatly some of them seem to have bad attitudes and will not be pleased that you even ask at that stage, but then some are really cool and helpful and would be more than happy to have a guess for you. Im just going to sus out the mood first before i ask about it, and im not going to be worried if i dont come away with a nub shot, i understand that 18 weeks is when we will find out for sure.

Good morning ladies. And good afternoon to my friends across the way. Hope everyone is well.

[NCBeachyGrl]

I know I have said it 100 times, but I really do love you ladies. I wish we could all sit together over tea and chat in person. I do feel better today and I asked the tech on babycenter about what was thought to be the nub and she said no, it wasn't the nub and she wasn't convinced that the pic that was circled had a nub either. I am just going to chill out and wait until my next "secret" u/s. I think once I get that scheduled, I will feel like I have a direction and time when this guessing will end.

CooCoo - do what you think is best! If ending limbo will make you have a peaceful pregnancy, then go for it. We will all be here!!!

Ugh. Today was supposed to be my first midwife appointment.

The midwife clinic is held in the downstairs part of the GP practice so you have to get 'buzzed' to go down there so you check in at the main reception. I went to the main reception and gave my details and she said she didn't see my name anywhere and that the midwives don't normally hold clinics on Mondays. I was starting to get really upset, so she tried calling their mobile number (they only answer that one 8.30 - 9.30 in the morning during the week so I knew they wouldn't get them on that) but didn't try their main line for when they're in the building since she already assumed they don't do clinic appointments on Monday. But she gave me the mobile number and the other number and just shrugged and said she was sorry.

So, I left feeling upset and like an idiot, trying to replay the phone call in my head but I definitely heard "Monday 15th October" when I organized it with them over the phone... so when I got home, I called the mobile number first and left a message, and then I decided to try the clinic number and the midwife (actually, the midwife I saw a lot with my son in 2009/2010!) answered the phone... so I tried to explain my confusion as I went for my appointment but was told there were no clinics on Mondays and I wasn't down for an appointment. First she was like, "Is this Gena?" Then she said she was sorry but the reception was wrong and I actually did have an appointment, but they can't squeeze me in because they need at least an hour with me and I was the last lady of the day and they were going out to see women in the community after. So she rebooked me in to see them next Monday. And I was like, "So, I seriously had an appointment today but she told me I didn't?!" and they said yes... and they were going to go talk to them about that.

After I got off the phone, I cried my eyes out!

A bit over the top, but the midwife appointment so much makes it official and real for me, and I was there, on time, ready for it, only to be made feel like an idiot and sent away, but in reality they really were in the downstairs clinic waiting for me!

ARGH.

Not the midwives faults... all the regular GP Surgery reception's fault. But it has seriously ruined my day....

[Shellbelle]

Oh, suregena, I'm so sorry! It's not over the top -- I would have felt the same way. Hugs, sweetie!

I wish we could have tea, too. On the beach, lol. I hope you can relax until you can find out for sure, sweetie.
