Hope it s a boy and your patience ll turn you out in a perfect way.. 

WSB, i have a friend here, and she kept as secret her PREGNANCY from all of us including her family. I was shocked when i heard she was in hospital for delivery.. She gave birt at 33th week.. this is insane.. I announced to all family, friends, coworkers, neighbors..etc... in 12 hours after POAS I ll try to be more tightlipped this time but i guess i can resist mostly 8 weeks to tell that i m preggo :) When it comes to learn the gender, i wish i am patient as much as that.. But i ll try it for my last child  God Bless all the little ones in all around the world..

Great! Hopefully it's a boy. GL

 While I don't believe swaying really works, what I do know works are the ladies on IG who are always willing to give advice and support. Kudos to Tamara who is so willing to help others at all times. Thank you for your help over the past 3 years of this swaying journey.

CONGRATS on your girl!!!!

Congrats on your DD ..I am so sorry you didn't get your boy ((Hugs))

 Congrats

 Congrats on your little princess.. I am sure she brought a fresh joy to your family.. It s so good to see you without GD.. Big congrats again..

Oh my goodness. I am suffering really badly from GD. Third girl on way. It hit me that it was my last chance to get a little boy and although she is healthy wchich is brill I cant stop seeing a little boy in the family line up. Given that you have been through this and come out the other side with three lovely daughter can you tell me how you are doing. I am so worried about what happens after birth. I want to not feel maternal any more and move on but I fear I will and always have a longing for a boy. My husband does not want any more. How did you feel when she arrived? Were you very sad before she did. I just want the birthday to come and hope its all ok. It would be great if you can write back. I feel so so sad at the moment. Due at the beginning of June.

 Hi Twizzler

I did not find out what I was having on purpose. I knew that I would look on the monitor and find out she was a 'she' and be pretty upset. So I decided to wait until the birth because I knew that when I saw the baby's sweet face in person, the GD would not be as hard. I won't lie, it was somewhat difficult in the hospital. When I first saw her, I was overcome with joy at my beautiful healthy girl. But the GD was there. My husband didn't care really, so that helped a lot. I let myself have one complete break down the 2nd night in the hospital when the baby was in the nursery and my DH was home with the other two girls. I cried and cried and cried, not over my beautiful third baby girl who through no fault of her own was a girl, but over the son I would never have. I could not believe the swaying and years of research into how to get a boy did not work! So I let myself have a complete melt down and that was it. Time to move on. Count my blessings instead of be devastated over what was never going to be.

My 3rd little lady is now almost 6 months old. Do I love her to death? Yes. Do I mourn over the son I will never have? Absolutely.You will feel so much better when you see the flesh and blood baby girl in person. It will be hard, the GD does not just magically go away. But it does get better. It gets easier. When you see your three beautiful girls together, you will feel better. When you meet a little boy with the boy's name that you were going to use, it may set you back. But you push on. My husband said to me "if having three girls is the worst thing that happens to us in our lives, we should be really thankful." I focus on this all the time. You will love your new baby girl and it will get easier. I promise. Try to focus on the delivery room right now, seeing that new baby for the first time. It is so joyful. Don't let the fact that a penis won't be there cloud the birth of your newest miracle! As I said, the GD won't disappear, but it will get easier. And one day you will be just plain old happy being the mom of girls! Good luck to you and keep up your spirits during this last trimester. Your baby is WORTH IT!!  :)

this is so true.... im swayying for a girl but if i have another boy then ill be one lucky mum to 3 boys... i know ill long for a dd but at the end of the day we r mums.... theres so many ppl ttc with numerous ivf treatments with no bfp.... i have always said give me 10 boys rather than no kids at all.....

its nice to read posts like this.... your honesty bou craving a son n your honesty bou bfalling in love all over again with your gorgues girl.. love it....

Baybay10:

Your baby is WORTH IT!!  :)

thats right.....

im sorry your sway didnt work but im happy your at a good place..... hopefully ill be just as strong if i hear boy... but for now just getting bfp seems impossible... 5th cycle n nothing yet.. with a chemical in between.... so getting bfp is our first priority....

 wow Baybay10, you are an inspiration!!! Congrats to you on your new daughter!!!!

Did you think you may be having a boy or did you know girl and that's why you decided to wait till birth? Or were you going to wait regardless? HUGS to you and your sweet girls!!! 

 I was always hoping boy but couldn't imagine a boy after two girls. I knew I would always wait till birth to find out the sex for my third and final pregnancy for a couple reasons. One, I had never waited till birth and had found out for both of my dds. I wanted to experience a delivery room surprise. And more importantly, I knew that if I found out it was dd#3 in the ultrasound room it would have ruined the last months of my pregnancy. I would have been pretty disappointed. I knew that seeing the baby in person and seeing girl would have been so much easier than finding out from a monitor. I would have the real live baby in my arms and I would love her no matter what.I am so glad I waited!
