Upcoming ultrasound...very anxious (UPDATE)

Hi, I've never posted here, but somehow found this forum.  I'm anxiously awaiting my gender ultrasound (anatomy scan) a week from tomorrow and I'm terrified that my baby is a boy.  I'm dying to have a girl and I'm so scared that I won't.  I know you ladies are great for support as I've lurked here for a couple of weeks.  I'll keep you updated on what I find out.

No one knows I feel this way, to the point that I'm scared I will be sad if the baby is a boy.  These feelings came out of nowhere, it seems, because for the first couple of months of my pregnancy I was convinced I was having a boy and I was getting used to the idea, but now I am just dead-set on having a baby girl.

Thanks for listening, it's nice to just have a place to express my feelings without being judged.

Hi there!  I'm new too, and I'm feeling the same way as you.  My u/s is on June 10th, and I almost wish I had kept that a secret because I'm really dreading having people ASK me what I'm having, and if I have to tell them that it's another boy- it's going to be hard on me.  Then I wonder too if I should just hold off and find out when the baby arrives.  I only have one other child- a son, and so it won't be the end of my world if this one is another boy, but we really can't financially afford more than three children, so it would really be nice if this one was a girl right away and then if we do want a third child- I won't have the stress of trying for a girl again.

 Hey- if you need to vent or whatever- feel free to write me because I'm at the point where I don't have anyone else to talk to about this.  I have two best friends who have fertility issues and so venting about gender seems sorta heartless on my part- so really- someone else who is in my boat is a welcome to me!

 Good luck and keep us posted!

Been there, done that :)

I really wanted a girl first time round, and when they showed me the boy parts at the u/s, I was on the verge of tears.  I managed to hold it together, but I did have a good cry when I got home that day.  I was sad for a couple of days, but then things started to get better, and by the time he was born, it was all put behind me.  I still wished for a girl, but I didn't regret having my boy one bit.

 This time, I was really nervous leading up to the u/s.  Since it is my 2nd child (and perhaps my last) and I had swayed, I was really hoping that it would be a girl.  I had pretty much prepared my self for a boy up till then, because I didn't want to get my hopes up and increase the disappointment if it turned out to be a boy again.  I also knew, though, that whatever it was, I would love it no matter wha, even though I would be sad not to be having a girl.   when the tech said it was a girl, I almost couldn't believe it.  Still can't sometimes - I keep thinking that when the delivery day comes, the baby will come out and they'll say "it's a boy"  I don't think I'll totally believe it until I actually see her for myself in the flesh. 

 So many of us have been there.  I totally understand where you are coming from.  Just try to remember that if it does turn out to be a boy, it's ok to grieve for the girl you aren't having.  it doesn't mean you'll love your little guy any less.  you'll get all the support you need here.

Thank you ladies for your wonderful support!  I feel bad feeling this way because I had trouble conceiving as well, and had one loss last year.  So I know I "should" be grateful for a boy or a girl, but I guess I just can't help it.  Everyone has their idea of an ideal family and I always wanted at least one girl.  I keep telling myself the baby is a boy and trying to get used to the idea, so that I won't be as disappointed.  6 more days until I find out...

Hi Ladies...I'm here to update!  I had my ultrasound and I was in complete shock when the tech said, "It's a girl!"  I just can't believe it!  I was crying right there on the table...I am so happy, but still adjusting to the idea.  I had myself completely convinced it was a boy.  I'm getting used to the idea that I will be having a daughter.  Now I know that I will be happy with a boy or a girl next time because I got my girl.  No one else really knows that I really wanted a girl, so this was the only place where I felt like my feelings were okay, so thank you all for that.
