I'm sorry your so sad right now Katie. Its ok to feel that way. You have to give yourself time and allow those feelings to be what they will so that you can move on. if you bottle them up it will take longer and be harder.

It really does seem that not many of us are getting our desired gender atm, and so many people on boy 4. This along with watching 12 week scans that have been confirmed either way on youtube (post made by ELP in Ultrasound Gender Predictions) has me even surer that I'm getting a boy. Feel OK with this atm but I bet by tuesday evening I'll be feeling just as bad as Katie. Just hope that the GD is short lived for all of us.

Actually looking at the front page, of those of us who know so far it would seem its split at 3 with their desired gender and 3 with the opposite. I don't think theres enough to see a trend yet.

It seems to me that most people are getting boys whether they desire them or not!

Every birth group I've ever been on has had a disproportional amount of boys born, every mother and baby group I go to, even at my midwife appointments all the women there were having boys. All of my friends who have had babies in the last few years have had boys. Maybe it's my fault, maybe I've jinxed the group by my presence!

I was at the WIC office the other day and noticed that everyone there had girls except me.

There is usually a slightly higher percentage of boys born per year, but its only like 1 or 2 %. It does seem that there are boy booms and girl booms. When I had my 1st the midwife commented that there had been a real high number of boys born. But thats one area and in the next town there may have been a higher number of girls.
The beginning of last year it seemed ever single pregnant person I knew was having a girl and my friend kept saying to me "hurry up and get pregnant its a girl year!"

Actually if you look at september is it pretty even and its normally pretty close. Of those confirmed in September there is 7 boys and 5 girls. And that is not counting the one who did HT to get a girl. I think once people start getting more gender scans we will see it start evening out a bit.

Ok just because I am crazy and I went and looked at all the stats up until now.
These are the ones that have been confirmed, some are team green and other probably never came back to update. April was a crazy boy month. I am praying October is more even for us!

Due in:
March 4 girls 3 boys

April 3 girls 10 boys

May 7 girls 8 boys

June 10 girls 7 boys

July 7 girls 6 boys

August 7 girls 3 boys

I want to scream and cry, and pound my fists today. I won't ever know what it's like to brush my daughter's hair or teach her how to paint her nails. I won't ever get to take her shopping and try on dresses and bows. Forget that perfect nursery I planned, it'll never happen. I won't know what it's like to plan a wedding. No dance recitals. I won't ever know what it's like to buy pink things and have girl's days. All the things I fantasize about are never going to happen. I can't stop crying. My head won't stop pounding. My broken heart is more than just emotional, I physically feel pain in my chest. I swear I could see her. I could see her with her brothers and with my husband. I could picture her as part of us. My husband is devastated. He's even cried over the baby being another boy. My mother tries to be understanding, but she just doesn't get it. I feel so broken, so crushed and unhappy. And I'm angry. I feel so mad when friends announce they're having girls. I want to throw things and scream, just have a tantrum like a child who hasn't gotten their way. Life just feels so unfair right now. I keep trying to be okay, but I feel worse with every passing minute. I wanted her so badly. I prayed for her every single day. And she'll never exist. This is the worst pain I've ever faced.

Hugs Katie!!! I think what you are feeling and thinking is completely normal. This is our last baby and if it is another boy I am sure I will be definitely feeling the same way. I try to look at it as well then I will be the only princess in the house. And I can buy myself cute clothes, shoes, and get my hair done. I know it's not the same but It helps a little bit. Also after this one DH has agreed to let me get my boobs done, which really excites me. Let yourself be angry and mad, its all apart of the process.

There was also a poster early in our forum who I saw posted her sway w/confirmed girl (katNmatt).
