Feeling this is a boy

[Bobster]

Now I've got my BFP I'm almost certain I've got a little boy in there. Just a gut feeling, which I also had with my ds.

I'm starting to think about how I'll feel when they say boy on the scan. My OH of course has said he thinks we're having a girl but he doesn't know a thing about swaying and I know I messed up by dtd so often in the fertile week I almost feel like I'm to blame for him not getting his dg as I was just too impatient to wait. I felt like it wouldn't happen if I only did 1 attempt but of course it would have in time.

Does anyone else just 'feel' that their sway didn't work? I am so scared of being disappointed at the scan and I really just want to enjoy this pregnancy and look forward to meeting the baby. I really wanted to give it my all with the sway but this month I had other stresses and let everything slip. I had about 3 x attempts around ovulation and I could kick myself for it. This will be our last baby whatever the gender as financially and emotionally we can't do it again. I know we will both love it whatever it is but I hate the feeling that I shoukd have done more for my sway.

Yep I'm pretty much in the same boat. I just don't think that my sway could have worked as my diet got too loose towards the end. I'm only 9 weeks but so far everything is pointing to another boy. Measuring ahead of dates, right sides ovulation and implantation. I'm OK with that most of the time. I just can't imagine announcing boy number 4. I already have had people say how crazy I am for trying again . I think we'll just keep it to ourselves till after the birth.
Big hugs xx. Hope we are both wrong by some miracle

Hang in there ladies! People get girls all the time without doing anything near what you ladies have done by swaying. There are no magic bullets. People get opposites by doing everything to the "T", and people get their DG by doing nothing. No matter how you look and analyze things, you both have an excellent chance at having your DG.

Keep in mind that there is a little person growing inside of you that you already love to pieces! Let that love get you through and bring you solace right now.

Huge hugs!!

Hehe yes you are right xx . I saw this little one move the other day ( on U/S) and it was terribly cute! I've been doing little impressions ever since lol.

You are right xx. I'm only 4 weeks and I already feel like I love my poppyseed. I hate the feeling of being disappointed but I'm sure when he's here I won't care. I know there's always a chance but I just know this is a little brother. I need to focus on positive things like watching them play together and have a brotherly bond. Covered in blue I'm sure it's not the last bit of diet that matters but the whole picture. I have everything crossed for you

I also feel exactly the same, I did the best I could and things were very different to when I conceived my last two boys but I just don't think I did enough. I hope we are all wrong in how we feel and get our DGs but if they are boys we will love them all the same. I just feel so much pressure, especially for my dd, she will be heartbroken if its another brother for her.

Feelings don't predict gender.

I would have sworn on a stack of Bibles that my DS 3 was a girl. I had a strong feeling with DS 1 that was right and then I had such a strong feeling with DS 3 I was just so sure he had to be a girl. But he is the most boyinest boy who ever boyed.

Will you guys find out the gender? I'm hoping to see a nub on my 12 week ultrasound. We will ask the gender at the anatomy scan as we were team yellow the first time around and I want to get prepared (mentally) this time around.

I'm thinking I will stay team green again, only found out with my eldest and I prefer a surprise BUT if I see a girly nub at my scan on Monday I may find out. We are getting married in October and I think it might be nice to reveal gender during the speeches but we will see what happens on Monday first.

I will find out but we probably won't tell anyone IRL. I've done the surprise thing before and had GD after the birth so I won't be doing that again. It was awful and took me about a month to get over it and I really found it hard to bond with him.
