Wow! Twins coliny?! That's awesome. Did you put back one or both embryos?

I am on the verge of breaking out the first of my maternity clothes. Ugh, eating is the only thing that makes me feel a bit less yucky, and it's showing!

I'm still waiting to buy any baby clothes, but I think that'll be a fun 2nd trimester activity. I just realized that our trip to see my in-laws is when I'll be almost 15 weeks! I'm wondering if that's too long to wait to tell them? I wanted to tell them in person.

You know what I have been ok up until now. I have been very calm and quite accepting at what gender I am carrying. Today it seems to have hit me that I just so desperately want a girl. I even hate myself for typing it.

With so many ladies on there getting their girls it makes me feel like I am obviously going to be the one with an opposite. I must be. I should have tried harder to sway. I shouldn't have pigged out when I thought I had o'd but I didnt until the day later. I should have exercised. I am scared.

I know I will adore another boy as I do my son but I so don't want to feel the drop in my tummy again at the birth. But still all this being said I still don't want to find out the gender before the birth.
I thought long and hard about the reason why today. Party cause I have this image in my head of going through labour (I didnt last time) and not knowing the sex, the overwhelming feeling I will get get if they tell me girl will be priceless and I cry when I imagine that moment. The other reason is I am scared. Really scared. I feel if at my 20 week scan I get told boy. That is it. My girl dream is over. I can't continue for another 20 weeks with my day dream of being passed my girl. I am hoping if we find out gender at the birth I fall in love with this baby boy either way and it wont matter. It worked with my son.

It makes it harder my sister in law wanted a girl, never hid it. Its her first and she is having her girl next week. It made me feel so protective over my son as she was saying how much she didnt want one. I felt like screaming at her 'What is wrong with boys!' all while I was there swaying for the exact thing she wanted. She got hers though and I am jealous. My other sister in law is pregnant too. She is due in Aug. They have not found out the sex. I am terrified it will be a girl. I feel if it is that mine will 100% be a boy.

Sorry to have rambled, I just feel its all hit me today x

Dreamingofwin .... I know exactly how you feel and why you feel it. I could have written your post. When I had ds2 both my sil's had girls just after. I was in due date boards with ds2 and ds3 - I always got a boy while others got girls so easily. I'm due November and seeing the harmony report saying girl was overwhelming, however now I am gearing up for gender scan on Friday and I am terrified of being told boy (before the harmony result I was prepared to hear boy for our last baby, now it will destroy me, initially anyway). Only you can decide when it's best for you with both outcomes in mind. For me it was early because I wanted to check health of baby. I believe that part of the harmony test, but still can't believe it's right for gender, not after 3 boys. As long as you are happy with the choice to find out at birth that is the main thing. I'm way too impatient to wait that long and would have had a gender scan even if we hadn't done the harmony xx

Sorry to hear of your worries Dreamingoftwin, but I do understand your feelings of being scared. Even though I've made peace with myself about having a third boy as our final child before trying, I'm still anxious about the baby I'm carrying now and want to find out asap so that if I do feel any GD, like I did with DS2, I could prepare myself for a happier and welcoming birth. I agree with Mrs_Incredible that it's all up to you about when is the best time to find out the gender and what works best for you. We each have our own way of coping with GD and that's why we're all here on this board, to support each other when needed. Hopefully you (and I) will be part of the string of girlie beans that have been announced recently! *hugs*

p.s. I also have a wee bit of regret about having pigged out on either O day or day after..and not losing enough weight etc.

Sorry you're feeling down dreamingofwin. I have three boys and they are amazing! If you do have another boy it will be awesome for your other son. My boys have the best fun together and when I asked them if they want another brother or a sister they all shout 'brother'!! I was convinced that my ds3 was a girl but was glad I found out at 19 week scan as I found it a lot easier to prepare for his arrival once I knew he was a boy. And I'm so glad he was a boy as I adore him more than life. He is the funniest in the house and everyone loves him! But hey you have as good a chance as anyone at having a girl anyway. Millions if women around the world have girls every day without swaying! Don't lose hope yet You could still have a pink bundle in there!! Fingers crossed we all have pink this time I think it's our time now girls!!!

Thanks ladies.

I know id love him to the moon and back. I feel terrible as I have 2 close friends who both had to have icsi which luckily worked for them both and they have a son each. They're blessed and thankful they have one child. I feel so selfish when I have the opportunity for a second child and they don't.

Its just 2 children for us. That's it. Period. There will be no possible 3rd child or 4th this is it for us. This pregnancy feels so final. My chance of a girl feels so final.

Thanks for understanding and listening to me offload x

Dreamingofwin I know how you feel too! With all these girls someone has to get a boy and im sure that will be me. 😞

[flowerlily]

Aww mumofsix, if anyone deserves a girl it should be you!
You have worked so hard for it even after your loss you are still keeping up the hard work and still determined to getting her (despite everything that has happened in between!) in my eyes you are a hero!
I don't know how I'd have picked myself up!
I really hope to see you back on the due date board with a BFP soon!

I feel so selfish for having 2 more chances plus the one I'm carrying now, so please let me have that boy for you (just only this once though, lol) this time round you go have your sooo well deserved girl!
