I have met some nice online "forum" friends over the years and when I got pregnant the 3rd time I was pretty friendly with a few boy only moms. We would email back and forth. But after finding out my 3rd was a girl I was pretty much dropped. And I get it. I was sad to lose contact with 2 of them in particular but I understand what they were going through. I was the trigger for them just as ...

Could not agree more, especially about the regrets part of this, as this is something I still struggle with.

I don't really have advice as this is something I am still dealing with years down the road. I have, at times crushing guilt and huge regrets for wasting the time I did worrying and obsessing about gender and having gd. I can never get that time back. I never let my gd affect my boys in the slightest, but I spent a few years when gd was really bad not enjoying them and their activities as much a...

All 3 of my pregnancies were the same with the exception of horrible headaches that I had with dd that lasted until almost 20 weeks.

I think I would because I always wanted to be able to raise both genders.

I am sorry high tech didn't work for you. I know how it feels. After 5 disasterous high tech cycles I finally gave up and moved on to trying naturally. I too wanted a 3rd child regardless of the outcome. Wishing you much luck ttc.

My hair shed after all 3 of my kids. Right around 3-4 months after birth it fell out like crazy. It lasted about 2-3 months then stopped. I have heard it is pretty common. I have know several friends have it happen to them too. Not sure if there is anything to really prevent it.

The day I found out ds2 was in fact another boy I came home and started researching microsort. I attempted several unsuccessful high tech cycles and eventually just gave up. I finally ended up getting pregnant naturally the 3rd time after 14 months of trying. I don't regret trying high tech but it is not for the faint of heart. The emotional and financial stakes are so great and the blow of no...

[quote user="Norway_"]She is only telling you how she feels. Should she lie? Having a daughter IS different, it IS nice to escape all the car toys, swords and tractors.
And I DO look forward to following my own daughters through their pregnancies, when it happens.
You clearly must also have some of these feelings, since you long for a girl?
So why is it wrong for anyone to say it out loud...

I get these comments too. They were much more frequent when my dd was a newborn. She is now 2 and it doesn't happen as often. My boys were 10 and 7 when she was born so they were well aware of the stupid comments people made. I got so sick of hearing about how you "finally" got the girl etc., right in front of my boys. It made me very defensive and protective of them. It was like these people...

I love and adore all 3 of my kids equally. After having my daughter I did have a renewed appreciation for my sons and all their "boyness". I was able to enjoy all of the sports and monster trucks more. I was a boy only mom for 10 years so it was nice to experience the other side. My dd is 2 and turning out to be a daddy's girl which pains me because she is my last baby and I wanted her to be li...

The physical discomfort is minimal. The emotional pain of the entire process and failing time and again is far more painful.

I wouldn't know what to guess but wishing you the best of luck at your next scan!

hi Azyurmst. Back to trolling again? I remember when you were disappointed when you found out you were having a girl. You really wanted a boy. And you only have one girl
so I'm not sure what's up with your siggy claiming you have 2.[/quote]
LOL. I was going to make the same comment. I don't believe this poster is fully sane. Rather disturbing that a 30 something mother would make such com...

I too dislike the word princess and never refer to my dd as one. I also cannot stand referring to little boys as "little man", "my man" , "my guy" etc. Just what annoys me personally.

When I got pregnant the 3rd time I didn't tell anyone until I was almost 15 weeks. I was mostly concerned with something going/being wrong with the baby because I was 38 at the time. I waited until the first trimester triple screen bloodwork came back normal and then told my boys and our families. My boys were 7 and 10 at the time and I was so concerned with them thinking they were getting a si...

I too am equally paranoid with all of my kids. I worry constantly about their well being. I did however obsess over the fact that something would go wrong from the day of the bfp and while I was pregnant with dd due to the fact that I was 38 and concerned being older would affect the outcome of a healthy baby somehow. Thankfully she was born healthy and the pregnancy was uneventful.

I think that name is cute for a girl. I have always liked boyish names for girls. My dd has a gender neutral name. I always wanted a girl but never intended to name her something super feminine.

I carried ds1 and dd exactly the same, high and in my ribs. I always felt out of breath. I carried ds2 so low it felt like he was going to fall out starting at 7 months.

This too is how I feel. But I do also feel overwhelmed at times because my boys are older and very into competitive sports and they have lots of homework and sometimes it just feels like there are not enough hours in the day. With dd being 2 she gets dragged everywhere at all hours and I feel like she does not get the attention she deserves sometimes. She doesn't get to do all the fun things...
