Meeks i searched 11 week potty gender shot - and it could have been your story! It was her ob, very respected and experienced etc who predicted boy from a potty shot. Long story short, she had a girl. I am sure your ob is as sure as he can be - but it seems that the clues are misleading at this age.

Telling you not to nubsess is pointless i know! hearing that the baby is healthy is enough to open the gender floodgates! My friend had GD with DS2 and nothing with DS3 as he was hospitalised for the first month so all she felt when she brought him home was joy and relief. So, congrats on having the luxury to nubsess Huge congrats on everything being OK at the scan. I know you are young and everything but i always breathe a little sigh of relief when i hear that people's 12 week scans went well.

So ladies,

I haven't really looked at the pics or video any more recently as I didn't think there was anything to see and I have the strong boy feeling, but have just looked at it again and am wondering if there may be a gender clue or even a nub in my video. I have put the times in the post.

Have a look and tell me what you think.

Thank you honey that's all very true. I will be good with a boy in time, in fact I thought I'd take it much better than I am right now. X

Rainbow I know what you mean, I am good at seeing the positives some of the time, or even most of the time, but the little bits creep in. I kept seeing girls everywhere when I went to the shops after. I was doing so well holding it all together and it's only been a day later that I'm really feeling crap.


Something that is bugging me is the uncertainty. A few ladies pointed out at 11 weeks all babies have long tube like genitals which go on to rise or tuck in depending on the gender, now I'm having hope. Hope is great, but its also my worst enemy because I'm scared next let down will be even worse.

Hope is a good and bad thing , I still think its too early to be sure but I understand getting down when I see girls etc . I have a new psychologist and she did hypnotherapy with me yesterday helping my give away a lot of my desire to have a girl and pink things and I could actually go to the shop and but a few boyish things without feeling awful , hope it was the hypno could also be time I'm adjusting but I was still pretty sad at the weekend .... I hope you don't need anything like that and that you get your girl , you certainly put a lot of effort into getting her xx

I had a doc appt today and the scan results of my 20 week showed one artery umbilical but no other 'markers' of anything but I get a growth scan later on as it can affect baby's growth ..

Fourth time I hope they can rule out any issues ASAP xx

I will /would be ok with a boy in time too - but on the day i will /would swear, stamp my feet, break things and generally act like a brat. You are doing great if you have not alienated anyone or broken anything

Thanks grace and Em. haha no I haven't cried, sworn or broken anything yet but the 20w scan is what i'm kind of waiting for before I really believe it all and loose my shit! hahaha

It's healthy to have the tantrum if you need to , if we don't make a space for these feelings they will get bigger and that's no good , with ds3 I tried not to care and it made my gd worse , this time I booked a psychologist for ASAP after my scan so o can work through the disappointment and hopefully be happier in the long run xx

Meeks- I'm sorry your scan got you down but 11 weeks is waaay too early. Every baby looks the same at this point and I'm shocked that a Dr. would even entertain the idea of a potty shot at this stage. Hopefully your NT scan will make you feel better. I totally understand how your feeling though-I get down when friends/family take a guess that this is boy #3 for me and they have no idea. Try to forget what you saw in between the baby's legs (I know easier said than done).

Has anyone ever had a low-lying placenta??

I just had my doctors appt. today and she said everything with the baby looked great but that they noted a low lying placenta. She said 95% chance it'll move up and be fine, but if that doesn't happen I'd have to have a section. My understanding is that it's not covering the cervix or anything, and she kept assuring me it'll likely move. I'm obviously terrified about the idea of having a section after 2 great natural deliveries.

Anyone ever experience this? Did yours move up?

Yes I had this with ds1, and a few friends had it too. It almost always moves out of the way. I don't know anyone who has had a low lying placenta and had it stay put.

In the end I had an emergency Caesarian for a completely different reason, but my other friends with it all managed natural births.
