Jadis, I hope it all means something, it has to, doesn't it. I play stupid games with myself, like if I see a pram at the shops, I say if is a girl in it it means I'm having a girl. So dumb I know.

cvd, pleased all is well and hope your feeling better soon. I see your choosen a name, I really like it.

Praying4pink, good luck for the 29, pleased your appointment went well.

Thank you LO123!!

Hi ladies,

OneLastDream - that 4D pic is so cute!

HopingforSaskia - adorable tiny baby pic!

I have been feeling really down today, I booked my anatomy scan for Feb 7 - one month until we find out the gender. I'm terrified!
I wish I was a more relaxed person, so hard to enjoy anything with a big grey cloud hanging over my head - and totally my fault it is. The thought of 2 more boys!

LMO - I can sympathise with your crying!

Hope everyone is doing well. XX

Hi Maple, I totally understan but I have a really good feeling for you and that you will atleast have one pinky in there. It is so hard to enjoy the pregnancy isn't it. It is all I think about, I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy. Definitely my last and my first pregnancy I hated. I wanted so much for this to be different. Did you get any idea from your last scan? Did you get nub shots? FX for you for the 7 Feb.

OneLastDream, your 4D picture is so cute. I love those photos. Hopefully this will help you bond. How are you feeling?

Thanks x still fairly rock bottom at the moment - it's been my dream forever and it's so hard to know I won't ever have it

[OneLastDream]

Maple and lo123 and jadis I truly hope you get your dreams. It's not good to feel so low - gd really sucks xx

Well between being sick and being nervous about my advanced NT scan tomorrow, I can't sleep a wink. Wish me luck tomorrow(later today)!

Good luck Bama Belle, hope it goes well for you. And good luck for 29th praying, and for 7th maple.

Sorry you're feeling so low onelastdream, I can imagine how bad you feel, I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose my dream at my scan too and I'm dreading it. I just don't think I'm prepared at all. I hope you start feeling better soon, your baby boy will be adorable I'm sure, he must be destined for great things to have survived the sway tactics.

Maple+LO, I feel the same, struggling with trying to enjoy every aspect of this last pregnancy, but at the same time stressing horribly about the gender. I found myself watching a complete stranger's gender scan on YouTube last night (girl of course) and when they started looking down below my heart was hammering in my chest so hard I thought I'm going to have a heartattack at my scan, I'm not sure if I can do this. I can't bear not knowing and risking ruining the birth moment, plus not finding out won't change the gender, it'll only prolong my fantasy. I thought by the time I was pregnant I'd have got this straight in my head but I'm just not ready to hear boy again at all.

LO I'm sorry your doctor was skeptical too, it's so hurtful. I feel like a fool grasping at straws, or at least that that's how others see me. It's made me think twice about telling people we swayed. I think I'll tell close friends we did what is currently thought to sway and are hoping for the best, but I don't think I'll mention it to anyone else. I can't bear the thought of people pitying me+saying "what a shame, poor deluded fool did all that and seriously believed what she ate would give her a girl". I'm nervous just thinking about finding out and it won't be for 12 weeks yet - I still need to find out if there's definitely something in there first! This is a tough journey, I'm glad I'm not doing it alone.

Hi girls. Can I join you all? I am expecting on 1 August and have 3 little boys. I did a big LE style sway and am hoping with all my heart it is a little girl nestled in my belly at the moment, but fearing it is not. I have not been on GD much since my BFP as I have been struggling a lot with morning sickness and fatigue. It seems to be settling down now (earlier than any of my other pregnancies which makes me 1) paranoid that the baby has been lost and 2) sure it is a boy as morning sickness is meant to be worse with girls). I am having a really bad night with GD tonight after visiting my last remaining "all boy" mum friend who kind of "got it" a little bit at the hospital after she has just given birth to a baby girl. Held the baby girl dressed all in pink for an hour - torture! About to go post in the GD forum about it. Anyway I would love to join you guys to chat about the pregnancies. I have skimmed back over some of the thread and my heart goes out to those who have had a loss or found out they are having an opposite... so hard.
