QueenB3blue tons of hugs through this difficult time and hoping it goes by quickly xx

PrimalMamma, I'm also obsessing and I haven't even got a scan picture yet! I totally respect your decision to go away and reflect for a bit. Sometimes we all need a little self preservation because GD ain't easy, so take your time to cherish the little bub you're growing. He or she is going to be so loved and welcomed!

I'm meant to have my scan on Tuesday evening (will be 12w 2d) but now DH will be away most of the week we need to reschedule to next week. Hopefully they will be accommodating and once all goes well, I will post a 13 week scan pic for guessing.

Hope you're all well! I've got minor headaches everyday that last all day and a very bleh taste in my mouth! xxx

That is perfect timing for an accurate guess!! Good luck it will be wonderful to see baby!!
Is it a sour taste? Both blessed mumma and I still have that and are both having little ladies!! FXFX
How is everyone else? Anymore scans?
Has anyone thought of names?
Xx

[Sweet mummy]

Scan swapped to next Tuesday at 7pm so fingers crossed all is well!

Yep kitkat it's best description is a sour taste - exactly the word...I've just chewed through half a packet of gum and it is still there ugh!! If it is a "girl trait" I'll take it though lol Anyone else have headaches? I'm not a pill popper so I just soldier on through but gosh the constant dull ache is like torture.

Can't wait to hear about more scans and how everyone else is too!! Xx

My scan is 4 days away now. Holy nervousness! I'm trying not to think about it, but that's basically impossible. I felt my first solid bump from inside this morning. 15 weeks exactly and I guess the kicks will start now. So exciting. How's everyone feeling

[Sweet mummy]

Ekkkk 4 day hairbows...how exciting!!! I just know you will hear girl

[stephk]

Good luck hair bows!!

Sweet mummy sorry about the headaches. I've had them with both pregnancies so don't think it's one way or the other (for me anyway). Hope they go away for you.

Now things are out in the open, everyone is happy for me and its all great but I feel really guilty for having a preference! I did before but even more so now, no idea why. Anyone else feel this way? I know I would have loved a boy but I would have been disappointed for a moment and I feel guilty for that.

Hi girls. Being off the forums hasn't helped one iota with my nubsessing. I've been up since 3am today just tossing & turning. I have no idea how to relax. The more I look at the photos the more I'm convinced. The more convinced I am the more terrified I am. I can't tell you how much I am regretting having the scan. I've contacted every nursing friend I know to find out if they know a sonographer that could look at my scans but none of them do. If that "boy nub" that probably isn't a nub but might be a nub wasn't there I don't think I would feel anywhere near as worried. I feel like I'm living in a nightmare right now - not as bad as other nightmares others may be having but a nightmare nonetheless. I'm a nervous wreck & long for the beautiful, relaxed pregnancy I was having prior to the scan. I've looked into paying for a gender scan but there is nowhere that does them where I live.

Oh my primal. I m sorry u r having such a hard time.

I know it's easier said than done...but u have to keep reminding ursrlf that boy or girl..this is it...maybe meditation may help relax u a bit???

I would just focus on the big picture of having a new baby and other aspects rather than fixating on gender...cuz in the end, it is all but a guessing game and u maybe setting ursrlf up for failure by getting ur hopes up??

I'm sorry if I'm not making sense, but these are the things that helped me

Hi Primal. I don't mean to crash your thread but I just wanted to let you know that I have always loved reading your posts and I think you have been doing such a good job dealing with this whole crazy process. Maybe it would help if you gave yourself a day or two to obsess and think every thought and do weird research and then try to put it aside for a few weeks? Or consider driving a few hrs and getting a gender scan- yes it may be over the top BUT if helps you have peace of mind for the coming weeks it is probably worth it I hope things get better for you soon!

[PrimalMamma]

Thank you Odd and Junie. My friend who is a nurse (with an emergency consultant doctor husband no less!) managed to contact a sonographer today who is confident in saying she has never been wrong & she said she felt the scans indicate boy. In some ways I feel relief. Logic says that now I can stop obsessing. I don't feel disappointed at all but (& this sounds REALLY dumb) I can't help questioning it. She said the potty shot particularly looks male. Yet I have a confirmed male and confirmed female potty shot at the same gestation & the girl one looks identical to mine & the boy one looks VASTLY different. I can't help wondering if my baby will be the first one she gets wrong.
