Re: Off topic but I need a opinions

 I had an induction with #2 but still, #3 and #4 were far far worse because they were 1.5 and 4 hours respectively.

Re: I know its silly but..........

 Sari, I did the same thing. I tried for my 4th child and assumed I'd have a 4th boy from the start.  I told everyone it was a boy and picked a great boy's name and imagined my life with 4 boys.  My brain washing of myself was so affective that I even missed young Bramwell when a girl showed up instead of Bramwell, my 4th boy.  It took 2 weeks to come up with (argue about) a na...

Re: I'm going to be a terrible 'Boy' mum..

 Take it in baby steps.  You won't be a mother of a boy straight away, really you'll just be a mother of a newborn who is trying to survive and get enough sleep.  Your baby will then slowly get bigger and turn into a walking child and by then he will be your beloved guy who you think is cuter than all the other children, because he is yours.  For birthdays you'll buy him what y...

Re: I'm not okay

 I hated my 3rd boy before he was born and wished that I'd have a miscarriage, because he had taken the place of my baby girl.  It took me a few days to fall in love with himbut it eventually happened because I looked at how cute and helpless he was and I felt so sorry forhim because his mother hated him. After that I bought him some adorable new outfits so he would be cuter than those o...

Re: Your desired gender

  I totally agree.

Re: DOes this phrase make others unsettled or is it just me?

 I agree, this really bugs me too.[:)]I think it does imply that they were lukier than me.

Re: Anyone else mourn even before finding out gender?

[quote user="little ladybug"]I think mourning the loss is our way of protecting ourselves and preparing ourselves just in case we are not expecting the gender we had hoped for.  [/quote]  I completely agree.  This is exactly what I did during my 4th pregnancy.  I was only a few weeks pregnant but I was still miserable and mourning the little girl I would never have, even...

Re: For those who have seperated from their children's father

 I did it last year and I have never felt so alive.  I have my bright future in front of me and I can choose any path I like now (I'm starting nursing at university next year and I can't wait), and with no procrastinating partner to hold me back. :-) My kids are so well behaved now that their mother is happy now!!!  It has been over a year since I've cried.For the Australians on her...

Re: Am I a terrible mother??

 lol. I agree.  Mine are too, at least were when they  were under 4.  Now I only have one boy under 4 and he is all of those things, still.  I only tried for #3 to get a girl, because obviously I couldn't be so unlucky as to get a 3rd boy hey?  But I was, yes, and I was depressed for the following 20 weeks until he was born, and even then I didn't really like him for ...

Re: true feelings....

 Well, easily for some of us!! Asking 'how can you hate something you haven't met' doesn't help anyone.  That's what GD is for some of us. I absolutely hated son #3 in my belly.  I HATED him and hoped I'd have a misscarriage.  Finding out the gender of #3 was the worst thing in the world I could have done.  I actually was just wanting to have it confirmed that I was pregna...

Re: Newbie - girl after 4 boys anyone?

 I had a girl after 3 boys. And I 'at home' swayed with timing with #4.

Re: Big u/s Friday!!

Re: Already have 2 boys and preg w/twins- do I find out?

 If it were me...no way.  I took it really badly when I found out #3 was another boy and I spent the following 20 weeks being extreamly depressed and hating the thing in my belly.  But the moment he was born and I saw him, I loved him totally. Just think worst case scenario.  How would you take it if the u/s person said "it's a boy, and another boy, and I'm 99% sure"?Would it d...

Re: GD Just As Bad For Dads

 I know it's a bit off topic but I just wanted to reply to Dinos&Cars postThis happens in step families ALL the time when the children have their father's names and then a mother could end up with 2 or 3 children all with different last names. If all children had their mothers' last name it would be a lot simpler as most children live with their mother and you can always be 100% sure who ...

Re: GD Just As Bad For Dads

 Yes it could.   Females don't have to change their last names anymore you know. Disappointingly though, only about 30-40% of the married women I know didn't change their names, and I am one of them,so it does happen if that helps at all.  Btw, I wanted a daughter for this same 'carrying on the name' reason, as we had decided form the start that all boys will have his last name...

Re: GD Just As Bad For Dads

 When I look back at the person I was a year ago (ie. married, keeping busy, no relationship left, miserable inside), I am so relived I didn't settle for this being the rest of my life, for the children.  I feel so free and real deep-down happiness that I didn't even know I was lacking until I left my DH. As for the children, they are also happier now because their parents are. The behav...

Re: GD Just As Bad For Dads

 I'd leave her, find a new younger woman (with no children) and then there'd be a possibility for you of at least another 2 or 3 children. [:)]Yes it's harsh but if I was a guy, I'd have done that if my 4th had have been another boy.  But since I am female and I had to go through the absolute torture of child birth 3 times too many, I wouldn't have been able to get my own biological chil...

 I could have written that post sonshine106, except I did sway for number 4 and it worked. and it upsets me too to see how easily some people get what they want. 

anyone here?

 Hi everyone! I just discovered this birthclubs section, but it seemsno one post here anymore.  Is anyone here?  Helloooooo.... My Jan baby is adorable.  Can you believe 7 months have passed already?  My bub was born on the 30th of Jan and so is not quite 7 months.  She has 6 teeth and is starting to push up on her knees. soooo cute.   l love babies, and since sh...

Re: WHAT the HECK??!?!??!

 Some people are strange. Maybe she had all boys and was still a bit anoyed about it and therefore wished the same fate upon others.

Re: question for boy moms

 I have 3 boys and I would definately let them wear nail polish if they wanted.I try to knock down gender stereotypes when ever possible. [:)]I like what you said to the lady and then to the boy.  I would have said the same thing.The previous posts are right, you can't make someone gay, they either are or they aren't.  Nail polish, lipstick or dresses on a boy do nothing to a b...

Re: feb. 2009?

 I wondered what happened to you Airforcemom.  We were both had our babies around the same time. You're baby is gorgeous!   My baby was born on Jan 30th so I would like a Jan'09 board but ifyou only made a Feb '09 board that would do.  :-)
