Lovely picture Vanilla!

Can I ask, has anyone had a gender scan at 16weeks before? I haven't with the other two but I am on Saturday with this one and I want to start buying stuff, we don't earn a lot so I want to be able to stretch the stuff we need over the weeks, but I'm worried it will be wrong.

I haven't but I was planning to this time .. BUT everywhere is 16+3 and that's the week before Christmas I'm worried they won't be able to tell being earlier on still even at 16+ we have our gender scan 18th January so seems not far away after Christmas but OHs mum was paying for this but she says the place she was looking at says 17 weeks and I'm that on Christmas eve

It shouldn't be wrong I've not heard of it being common to be wrong I don't think we will be buying til after hospital gender scan just to be on safe side

Lovely scan vanilla!

Becyboo inhave to wait til 18-20 weeks for mine :/

 

[vaniilla]

Thank you guys by the time we went in for the second time I was about to pee in my pants I literally ran out at the end!

Karli - when you have the gender scan they should be able to say how confident they are with the gender, if there was any doubt I'm sure they would say.

The place I'm going say from 16 weeks, and I iwll literally be 16 weeks that day. My 20 week one is 19th Ja so hoping that they can confirm what I'm told at 16 weeks. Although im desperate to know gender, I would still pay the £60 to be able to take my kids along to a scan. They're so excited to come!

I'll post pics on here after. Anxiety getting at me know though that I might go and there be something wrong with baby...
Does the worry ever stop?!

Gorgeous pic vanilla

I think gender at 16/40 is pretty accurate karlilay

Has anyone else had pinkish discharge on and off? I've had it 3 times now once was the night before my scan then twice since

Lovely Vanilla! We started out as DD buddies but are now 4 days apart...will be interesting to see who has baby first in the end. We all know how much DD really mean lol.

I think gender at 16 weeks would be pretty accurate.

I am starting to slip from my team yellow resolve eeeek. I haven't decided but I'm so convinced it's a girl I feel like maybe I should find out in case it isn't and I need to spend the last 20 weeks wrapping my head around that. I am SO undecided now.

 

[Starlight32]

We have 4 weeks to go before we can find out gender. I'm excited to know but I don't have a preference, just a healthy baby. I always thought I would want a girl though but now I feel so much love for the baby in my belly that gender doesn't seem to matter!

 

[gaiagirl]

I felt that way last time too! This time it's our last so a boy means accepting I'll never have a daughter and that will undoubtedly be hard for me.

 

[vaniilla]

DS decided to arrive 2 weeks early, it'd be nice if this one followed suit as I'm pretty impatient


Karli- I agree, the worry never goes away, I just know come next scan I'll be a wreck again.

I was explaining this to OH today I've had mixed guesses from family and friends on here.. I'm undecided they say the mother has a good intension what they are expecting I'm clueless I just know its nothing like with my DS which could mean nothing lol! But I said today it's hard to say I'll never ever have a daughter with this being our last OH has a son and I have a son, I wouldn't mind another boy as I do just want a healthy baby but it plays on my mind too much about it all never helps people telling me "its defiantly a girl I just know"

 

[tinkerbelle93]

This is likely to be our last too, and I totally understand about the never having a daughter thing! But we're firmly staying team

If we do have a boy then it's definitely not going to be 'gender disappointment' as such because when we were planning on having 3-4 children I was actually desperate to have another little boy next. Also with my 1st pregnancy there was absolutely no preference whether he was a girl or boy. I see people on other threads who already only have a girl or girls and they just don't want a boy full stop, whereas for me it wouldn't be disappointment with another lovely boy at all, just a sadness at NOT ever having a daughter.

Miracles, I've been trying to sleep in my left side but I do switch to the right side occasionally if my left side gets too uncomfortable. Why is sleeping on your right side uncomfortable?

For those who haven't gone public, when do you think you will? I'm thinking about telling work at 19 weeks when we are back from the holidays.

We just put itbon fb today. Tried just waiting and telling people face to face over this last week but found it too awkward popping it in to conversation! X

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

The scan went well, it took ages as we had to go in twice because baby was moving around too much for the nuchal measurements, I'm only three days behind not loads like fertility specialist thought! I'm so relieved it went well.

Can my due date be changed to the 28th please?

Ohh lovely pic!! I'm the 28th also

Great can pic vaniilla, i'm glad everything went well xx

Yeah I don't get this at all when people have a girl and say they definitely only want girls and not a boy! I've seen that too. Seems odd to me, like a bit of everything would be wonderful!

I've gone backwards and forwards over this a hundred times - before we TTC I was absolutely convinced I only wanted a girl because I have my boys. I was scared to try in case we got a boy. But then we tried for a few months and when I got that BFP I swear all of that disappeared. As soon as the baby was an actual 'thing' and not just an idea, I just want whatever this baby is. I just want THIS baby to be healthy and be in my arms come June.
So before I was pregnant I thought I would want to find out gender so I could cope with the idea of another boy. But now both me and OH are thinking we won't find out just like we didn't the previous two times, because now there is a baby inside me there's just no way I would need to 'cope' with any gender, I just can't wait to meet him or her!

I'm actually really happy I feel this way as I did worry about the possibility of gender disappointment xx

Lovely pics Vaniilla glad it went well

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Boo yep I totally know what you mean, I'd definitely feel the same way now if I had a girl instead of DS and would be worrying at the thought of never having a son. I think a lot of it is linked to the general sadness of this being the last baby, I'd forgotten how magical and emotional the first scan and seeing the little wriggling baby for the 1st time is, and then it dawned on me after that it was likely to be the last 12 week scan I'll ever experience! Its quite hard when you really think about it!
