I'm having a bad day today, think its because my scan is on Saturday so I've started worrying again! I'm finding myself googling how often do techs get scans wrong aswell mummy! I've been having dreams of going on sat and being told its a boy! It's stupid I know, in a way I wish I'd have kept the gender a suprise now. My aunt just came over wiv a bag of pink knitting and said she better be a girl this lot took me ages!

I've also found out that my mum has been telling my brother (and god knows who else) that she has a really bad feeling about me being pregnant and she thinks something bad will happen....as if I'm not worried enough its because my sister was stillborn and she always says to me that girls are harder to carry! I guess because I've been told girl its making me panic about everything more I'm so scared to get excited incase something happens and bursts my bubble iykwim?
Sorry to moan ladies x

Hbp- most of me really wants to hear girl. But I know when I do my anxiety will triple. I Have a better track record with boys. Obviously. My doctors have told repeatedly me it has nothing to do with that. But I can't help but wonder since dhs mother lost a baby at 11 weeks, too early to know the sex for her but I wonder if it was a girl too. Anyway, realistically , there are reasons you can't carry boys but not girls I've been told, I'm sure things will be great at your scan

So much to catch up on.

Congratulations on your sweet boy Mummypink!

I've been so busy I've hardly had time to think about being pregnant! We brought home our new Basset hound puppy, Loretta. She is an angel, except she cries in her crate and we live in a townhouse so I have to be careful my neighbors aren't bothered. I've been letting her sleep on the bed St night, I forget how much work pups are!
We had ds3s first bday party on Sunday and ds1 made his school basketball team and has practice every evening right in the middle of dinner time.
If anything, this pregnancy is going too fast, I'm not ready, haha!

Mummypink, the day after I found out this baby was a boy was extremely hard for me. I cried the entire day. I never showered or got dressed. I had crazy thoughts running through my head. But that day passed, and so did the feelings. It's completely normal and healthy. I hope in the next few days things will start looking up and the idea of having another ds will put a smile on your face. I hate GD!!!!

just had to pop in and say I love all the dog pictures!

mummy, you are so brave and I know you love that little man when he comes! Before we found what DD would be, my husband got really snippy at me with the idea of me crying if I found out the baby had been a boy. I actually thought I'd cry either way, but I was so stunned to hear girl that I had no tears, just wonderment of "could the tech be right?" and while preggo, every time someone told me I wasn't carrying the baby like a girl, but looked too round, like I was having a boy, I'd worry all over again, hbp! So don't worry--I'm sure the baby is still all girl.

Lassie I had a cat named Oliver that was just like a dog. He played fetch, ran around like a dog and even followed my dad around everywhere...he would even jump in his truck to go for rides with him. He begged for treats and food of all kinds and was the greatest cat ever. He was hit and killed by a car a few years ago...I cried for days on end.

Sorry to hear about the hard time with gd today mummy. It will pass as time goes on, big hugs to you!


Grace I hope your ds will be okay, so scary to have a sick kid. :-(

My DH and I have wanted a girl for so long... I'm not sure if he's just trying to be tough so he's not gd'd again, but he keeps saying he wants a boy. He even told his brother in private that he wants another boy. Last Monday when we got home from our nt scan and had a great girly nub shot with 100% girly guesses he was a little snippy with me. He even told our 3yo, "do you hear what your mommy's trying to do? She's trying to make your baby brother a baby sister!" Sigh! Then after our early gender scan where I heard 99% girl and again more 100% girl guesses... He tells me don't get too excited... It's going to be another boy... Just watch! Ugh, I'm so irritated with him.

I'm going to ignore all his comments. It is what it is even if she turns into a he. I really think he's trying to cover up from being disappointed though. With #3 we were told 85% girl at our nt scan and she said have fun shopping... Just don't paint yet. Then at our next ultrasound at 18 weeks it was clearly a boy. We were both gutted. I really hope this is a girl and he's just being silly.

Ok, rant over!

Grace - hope your son is ok! You are right our little ones are so precious!

Thank you so much to you all for your support, I know a lot of you are struggling with gd too so it really means a lot. I'm actually starting to feel better, I took our dog out for a walk and started telling myself that if the thought of never having a daughter was upsetting me so much that I needed to stop thinking about it! Dh has said we could have another one and although I seriously don't think that is an option for me as I couldn't do this again at least it is an option. Also, and I know this is truly insane, but it actually made me feel better looking at u/s pics that turned out to be girls. I know the tech was absolutely 100% and she even said there is no way this one will turn out to be a girl, but I figure if a tiny bit of hope is helping me along at the moment then that is ok. By the time my 32 week scan comes around we should have chosen a name for him and I will have got my head around it so having a confirmation of boy will be just fine.

HBP - I don't think there is any way your baby will turn out to be a boy so please don't worry! It is really rare that they get it wrong, at least on Saturday you'll have your mind put at rest and then you can go seriously crazy shopping for pink!

Brandles - It sounds like your dh is trying to protect you in a typical man way!! Not long now until you will get confirmation that it is def a girl and then I'm sure he will be over the moon.
