Wow.... how beautifully and articulately put Kristin! That's why I joined up, when you can't talk about something that really hurts and something you fear will become an obsession when around your IRL friends, family and acquaintances, it's great to have somewhere to go where you'd hope that you can talk about things openly and honestly without reproach. And here here to Tamara said to...

I think it would be sooo great if you would NOT tell her until the birth! Will she be there with you?? That would be a special surprise for everyone and you already know!!

actually we have kept it a secret from everyone we know, friends and family and the first everyone will know about it will be when she is safely in my arms and I have triple-ch...

Awww thanks so much! I keep looking at the photo coz I still think it's gonna come out a boy! I had myself totally convinced that we just don't do girls. I'm most looking forward to telling my mum coz she took one look at the way I was carrying and said yep it's another boy - I look pretty much the same as I did with my boys. My MIL has lots of gran...

Oh and I forgot to add, I swayed for the bub (although because of certain circumstances I couldn't adhere to it perfectly hence one of the reasons I was convinced it would fail and I would have another boy). If you would like to know how I swayed I can give brief details, but since I paid for the swaying plan it would not be fair to give the plan away, plus it is tailored specifically for ea...

a girl!! I still am in shock, I don't think I'll truly believe it until I see her in my arms....
She kept her legs crossed but at the 26 week 2D/3D scan it was a girl (both in 2 and 3D), and at my recent last scan last week it was confirmed. Here is a pic of my gorgeous bub and apparently the "evidence". I think it is a 3D toilet shot, I mistakenly thought the hamburger looking ...

I'm still [pray] ing for you, I hope that this is all just reflecting that you're early in your pregnancy, this has a happy ending and that time goes fast for you....

Have been keeping you in my thoughts and [pray] ing for a good outcome. I agree with others have said about having an u/s - I thought you can't pick up a hb in an u/s until around 6 wks?

Also more prayers from me too.... I also had bleeding in the beginning and had severe cramps due to the baby settling in, I thought for sure I had lost the baby. Thinking of you ((hugs)) and hoping all is well....

Thanks for your replies [:-)] Let's put it this way - I haven't painted the nursery pink or anything but I guess I have a good feeling that they're right - two independent sonographers both think girl and the first one said that with all the time she had to look backwards and forwards over that area, she said by now she should have seen something looking like boy bits. I have another 3...

It's an almost toilet shot, you're still looking up at its butt cheeks (on the right hand side of the pic) but just can't see the thigh bones iykwim. So I'm asking about the bits you see in between the butt cheeks....

I had a 3D scan done last week - the sonographer said it was too early to tell the gender using 3D but using 2D she found it rather difficult getting "the" shot because my bub's legs were crossed. After different positions and emptying bladder, she managed to get this shot right at the end so was saying girl but because she couldn't get a good 3 line shot she said about 90% girl based on an ...

That's exactly how I felt once I found out I was pg. I tossed it up in my mind so much. Sometimes I decided not to know, sometimes I looked forward to it to find out and put myself out of my misery. I was so scared of bawling my eyes out at the scan. I ended up having a 3D scan just before my 20 wk scan and was lucky to have a lovely sonographer who totally understood how I...

My first thought when I found out that DS2 was indeed a boy was (after the OB had said "girl" and then found boy bits) "no no no this cannot be happening this is not my life", rang DH outside the OB's office crying, then drove DS1 home in the car, screaming and crying all the way, while banging my hands on the steering wheel. I must have scared poor DS1 with my carry-on - I was so ...

Wow I can't believe the response I got - thank you so much. I actually felt embarrassed coming back to the forum to say "girl". I only posted about my scan because I was so sure it was a boy and I would coming back devastated. I was so worried it would be perceived as insensitive.
I am especially touched by you ladies who are still trying to get a girl but were so thoughtf...

Thanks [HL] I'm still in shock and now just trying to work out how to keep my excitement from DH. He doesn't want to know the gender before the birth and to stop him from trying to analyse everything I say or do, I've said that "its" legs were crossed. Which is true for 99% of the time. We only got a look when I emptied my bladder and then changed positions a few times.

Hey all
Thanks again for your support. It meant that I wasn't a total mess when I got to the u/s and was kinda okay about having all boys. Because I'm 18 wks the sonographer wasn't 100% sure but we had at a look at its bits in 3D and she's almost 100% sure that it's a [DD] I'm in shock right now....

Chattyof3 - I know exactly how you feel, I've felt like that since the first pg, but very intensely 2nd pg and will be feeling like that if my scan shows what I'm expecting to see. I feel so cheated out of enjoying this pregnancy. I find myself thinking "please let it be a girl so that I can be happy to be pregnant and excited instead of angry and grieving for the little...

Thanks so much for your support - it really means so much to me - I even had a bit of a *sniff* I blame that on pregnancy hormones lol. I had awful dreams all night about it but today I'm okay. My little boy just had a massive tantrum then exhausted crawled into my lap and promptly feel asleep [HH] at that moment I was thinking if he'd been a girl I wouldn't have this precious one.&nbs...

I have 2 beautiful boys, 3 and 19 months. I have desperately wanted a little girl since I can remember, and since being an adult and not really having much a relationship with my mother I so wanted a close one with my daughter. Every time I see a mother and daughter doing girly things like shopping together, having coffee or pedicures together etc my heart breaks. My mother was n...

Wow I could have written that post - my U/S is in a week and a half and it's all I can think about. Once I find out I'm so sure this is another boy, I don't know how I will cope. I am already feeling the same way you are I'm so sure. Good luck with PGD if you go ahead with that route. I don't think we're even allowed to do that in my country.

IKWYM - just because you want a little girl, you still will love this little boy just as much as you would have loved your daughter. I know that if (I strongly feel when) I find out this is my 3rd boy (and will be my last) I will absolutely adore him. I just hope that the feeling of longing for a girl fades away eventually but you still feel like your boy is meant to be! Glad you...
