Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[GeCon]

Well, we have decided that there will only be two children for us, so if this one is a little boy, that will be the end of my dream of becoming a girl mummy. I am hoping that if it turns out that way, I will embrace my being a boys only mummy and with time just get on with it.

I would of course be sad, but there isn't much more I or we can do about it... Other than hope and pray that maybe this little bundle that I am carrying now is a pink one. But quite frankly.... I am not convinced.

3boys, the treatment you are receiving from the NHS is absolutely shocking. I am hoping you are keeping your chin up knowing that we are all thinking of you and your little bean. And fingers crossed for this important good news tomorrow.

Dreamofpink...I plan on being the worst preggo girl ever! I have thought that they might think I am being sneaky or deceitful, but since I can't ensure only positive comments at the 20 week mark from family, they are staying in the dark until I want them to know. We are hosting Thanksgiving, and I plan on saying "We are so thankful for our little turkey.....little XYZ!" The jaws should drop, and it will leave only 8 weeks until the baby is due to endure the comments. Now....if I was to be preggo with a girl, I fear my hubby will spoil the surprise!!! He is bound to let that slip!!!

So ladies, with the arrival of the Royal baby approaching what do we all think about its gender?

Looking at Kate's physique I can't help, but think Girl. What about you?

[sushikitty]

I think a son. Analyzing myself and the old wives tale, boys are more a basketball belly physique. Which I think she has. Then with a girl, you usually gain more weight including around the thighs and around the belly. I am 90 lb. woman. I gained 10 lbs with 3 of my boys. I looked 2 months pregnant when I was 9 month (which I think Kate has that similar look I had). My daughter and 4th son, I gained 30 lbs.

Mathilde - Congrats on the great scan! Why are you so convinced it's a boy??

3boys - I hope you're doing ok, and fx that you hear something soon!

Happypixi - Huge congrats on your bfp! So happy someone with a later due date is joining in (I'm Feb. 26th). Hope it's a little pink bean!

Ladybugs - TOTALLY don't blame you for not sharing the news. I am debating waiting to tell as well...even my parents, who I won't see till Christmas. I don't think I will keep it from them till 20 weeks, if I have to wait till then to find out gender, but will keep it till I find out gender IF I can find out early (maybe between 12-16 weeks). As far as other friends and family back home...I will wait awhile to tell, especially if it's another boy. Like you, I just don't want to hear the comments! Locally, I will have to spill the beans sooner, obviously, but may keep gender to myself for awhile! Haven't decided yet...

GeCon - Hoping you feel peace about your decision. That's a hard decision to make, but at the same time, owning it and being happy with your little twosome is SO great! So many advantages to 2 kids!

Royal baby - I think girl, because she was so sick in the beginning...also, her face really filled out, and I have a friend who swears she can tell what someone is expecting based on that! Full face = girl, No change = boy. OWT, I know. LOL!

Gecon...I almost had that thought! We originally thought two regardless of gender, but I knew in my heart of hearts that I would regret not trying one last time for a girl or having a third boy!! Two is nice, especially two sweet brothers.....I have pangs of jealousy when I see those who got what I "wanted"....and then just have to marvel at how perfect my second son is to our family. I do hope that you are blessed with a pink bundle for the holidays!!

I'm very excited to be joing you guys at last! Hopefully all is well and ill be sticking around, just got bfp this morning! I'm not sure how much of a sway I have under my belt this month, as I was skipping this month due to having eaten meat and stuff on holiday! We DTD but didn't complete if you know what I mean! Anyway, one little cheeky begger made it, so little Oops is onboard!

Yay, congrats thehappypixi! That's fantastic news. Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months x

POAS this morning - BFN. Not really surprised, tbh. No symptoms this time and the false positive and more than likely missed o, just going to wait for AF. Next time round maybe... On the up side, I do get to tweak my diet a little more, I could have done much better this month.

FX for more pink BFPs for you girls this month and GL with all your scans. x

[GeCon]

bunnywabbit, sorry about the BFN and if this month really wasn't yours, July is an awesome month to fall pregnant in.

As for me: Maybe it is all the gender talking or maybe my subconscious trying to prepare me, but I had a dream this morning. I had a scan at what would have been too early to tell the gender. So the doctor showed us three snapshots and says: "On the last one you can see you will be having a little Santa Claus." I was going to say, but it is too early for a reliable pottyshot and the nub might still change, but when she showed us the pic, it looked unmistakable... *Sigh*
