I am still shocked. she she tried to show me but I couldn't really tell. then she showed again between the legs and it has 3 lines on it. I don't know. i still feel like this isn't a boy. and now since I don't even have a picture since it was the ER and I am googling and driving myself nuts. because I can't remember exactly what it looked like. now I have to wait until my anatomy scan. which is going to feel like forever away.

Navywife I'm really thought you were having a girl too. I'm glad to hear baby is ok. I got an electric shock when unplugging my hair straighteners when I was 20 weeks with DS2. I started googling and was really worried so I went into the hospital, when I got there they kept going on about how unusual my case was, made me feel like I was crazy! They never even gave me a scan, just listened to heartbeat on a doppler.

I really want to find out now. Initially I was thinking that I'd like to keep a tiny little bit of hope for as long as possible, but I'm over that now and I just want to get rid of the hope and come to terms with the reality as soon as possible.
My anatomy scan is on the 7th of June and I have an important exam on the 14th of June. I'm really worried that if I'm feeling down in the days after my scan then it's going to adversely affect my studying and I'll do badly in the exam. I just want to make sure the baby is healthy as soon as possible and get some time to accept that it's a boy before my exam.
I can't afford a private scan though as we've just bought our first house and we've had to spend so much money buying appliances and furniture, there isn't a spare penny. So I'll just have to wait.

Im sitting here bawling my eyes out. Even though the er tech didnt tell me 100% its a boy. I know its near impossible for it to turn into a girl. I keep asking God why. In my heart I truly thought this was my daughter. I think I need theraphy because I dont even want this baby anymore.

I felt that way for a while. I actually told my mother that I didn't feel anything for the baby and just didn't want him. Just like you, I honestly felt like this was my daughter. I truly believed I was finally getting my girl. It was devastating to think about having a fourth boy. I'm not going to sugar coat it and tell you that a few days from now you'll feel perfectly fine and happy. I had good days, and I'm thankful for them... but I still struggle. Just this evening I saw a baby girl and felt very down for a bit. It's not easy, but you will get through it. I promise you will get through it. My mom once said to me "It's so easy to praise God when things are going our way, but how often do we praise him when our life is not going our way or when things are bad?" It hit me like a ton of bricks hearing that, but I'm so glad that conversation happened because I constantly think back to it. You are that little prince's mommy and God gave you each other for a reason. You were meant to be his mother and he was meant to be your son. I hope it gets easier for you soon. You're not alone in this!

Navy was the tech a proper scan tech or someone from er with enough training to check the baby was unharmed?
While its best to keep in mind that its likely to be a boy, its not unheard of for even fully trained techs to get it wrong.
I agree with Katie though, I could really see my baby girl, I really felt it was a girl but convinced myself it was a boy. Even the day before the scan my head said boy but my gut said girl.
I've been OK about my baby being a boy, but even I have a few moments when I feel a bit sad that I didn't get that girl I could see.
But like Katie said, there is a reason that little man has been given to you and it may not become clear just yet but I'm sure that once you lay eyes on him you will know that he was meant for you.

Navywife, I'm sorry, I hope this feeling passes soon.

It's crazy what's going on this month. Is Strawberrymom the only one of us girl swayers so far who's getting a girl? I just had a look at the front page and counted 11 boys and only 2 girls altogether so far.

Wow boy heavy! I know some people are waiting for their 20 week scans in June so perhaps by the end of June there will be a more even girl:boy ratio

Holy Crow!!!!! EEEKKKK!!! Im getting very nervous now!!!!! I think Im def. putting it in an envelope. Im just scared I think I want to hang on to the hope of pink as long as possible. I really thought this was going to be a good month for everybody. My friend is pregnant with her 2nd kid and she is 100 percent convinced that its a girl. THat makes me mad for some reason. I keep thinking I hope you have a boy because your so cocky, then I feel like im jinxing myself for even thinking that! It just makes me mad because she doesnt even take care of the one she has and she further along than me and hasnt even been to the doctors! It drives me crazy how irresponsible she is with her kids, but shell prob get a girl, right! I dont get mad when good moms get their little girls but when people like that get their DG it makes me wonder, WTF is wrong with this world. Im sorry Im ranting. Now Im getting closer to my scan Im realizing how much I really want a girl and Im scared. It was that damn sparkly disney pink paint at walmart! lol I could picture painting our small room with it and decorating it with girl stuff. But I picked out a pretty blue to keep my feelings safe. Whatever happens I know their is a bigger picture and god has a plan for me and my boys. I just cant help the feeling that I want a baby girl!

I am so sorry!!! I feel the same way you do. Everyday seems to get a little better though. I am still holding out hope that when I go for my anatomy scan next Friday that maybe my gender scan was wrong. I think I will be able to accept it more after next Friday!! Hoping that you start to feel better soon!!
