I absolutely love having 3 dd I am 19 weeks pregnant right now and I hope to find out that this is dd # 4 hope you feel better soon.

Well I don't have 3 DD but I still wish every single day that I did. You totally have my dream family and I would do anything to have what you have.

Thank you for all your replies. And the pic of the 3 girls is beautiful. I am already picturing my two girls holding their new baby sister and using that as my announcements. One minute, I think it's going to be great, next minute, my world is all gloomy again. I broke down and cried so hard today my chest hurted, but at the end of crying, I thought about how I can be so upset when I know the 3 girls will make my life special. I even thought of how I would redecorate the house and rooms. That my girls will bring so much happiness to my life and husband's life that all those negative people around us will open up their eyes to realize that same gender families are precious.

I prayed my heart out for 11 months (from when DS3 was born until I concieved this baby) Novena prayers too. I also changed hubby and my diet, Lots of dairy no veggies. cut off 5 days before ovulation. Used replens 2 days after intercourse.

So I started out like you, had 2 dd's and swayed for a boy. When I found out dd3 was on the way I was crushed. I think it was for a lot of same reasons as you (boys are more valued in society, family name, experiencing both genders). I cried for days, I mean CRIED, sobs that shook my whole body! Well she was born and from the second I held that beautiful baby I was in love and the hole in my heart wasn't so big anymore :) I think I apologize to her everyday for not being happy when I was pregnant because she is such a joy in my life! I still would love a boy, but I don't HAVE to have one now and it's not something I would ever cry about anymore. Just my experience, but Hope it helps you to see that there is happiness on the other side! Best of luck!

I have three dd. When I found out dd3 was on the way I was so upset. Couldnt eat, sleep and cried and cried. Walked with my head down so I would not see any boys that looked like my son was going to and started to hate everything girly that my daughters did (although they are not that girly)! It made the second half of the pregnancy grim. Dont beat yourself up. Although it is tough you have to go through this process. It is a grieving process. You are greiving. It sounds dramatic nut it is true. As time passes and when she arrives you will get better and better. It wont last forever. Hope this helps. xx

exactly how i feel now!

Thank you for your kind words. I think maybe it would have been better if I had not found out so soon, I just feel like I don't want anyone to talk to me about my pregnancy anymore, i don't want to go to any social gatherings, just want to avoid everyone. And i feel horrible for feeling this way, like i'm not proud to have her. I think once I have her in my arms, I will be better but I just dont enjoy this pregnancy. And I hate it when I hear comments from other dads talking to my husband and saying stuff like 'well if you have a son, you would understand, blah blah'. I try not to be so sensitive but some comments really hurt, even though I know some are not done intentionally.

3 daughters would have been my dream family set up. 2 daughters and a son OK, but 3 daugthers - a dream! Now I pray I at least will have 2 daugthers in my life some day, I even plan to have one more child than I initially had planned to. I grew up with girls myself (we only had one boy in the family, all other siblings and cousins are female) and it was and is absolutely wonderful.

Wincha, I remember you swaying, you have a good chance this is your boy. Will you be getting a nub shot? I am sending you all my blue dust in return for your pink one.

Thanks nini, I was too shocked to ask for copies of the nub and toilet shot at my NT scan after the peri said 'girl'. When I try to get copies the next day from my ob, she said it's too late. It so happened that the day of the scan, my younger daughter also had a dr appt, so my husband took the girls to that appt while I did the NT by myself (I didn't know he was going to tell me the gender). If I knew, for sure I want my husband and daughters there for support, and so that my husband can question the peri (since I was so numb, I couldnt talk) and maybe the peri will check harder for a penis if he assumes I want a son after seeing that I have two girls.

oh Wincha, I had no idea you were already told its a girl. I thought you were just worried. Well, at 12 weeks they usually say 80% chance its a girl right? Aw I am sorry sweetie. I so wish we could swap. All I ever wanted was daugthers. Life can be unfair xxx

Thanks Nini, I hope you get your girl.

thanks for the post and for all the replies. I am ttc and swayed for boy, but thanks to all of you lovely ladies, will happily accept a third DD. thanks thanks thanks
