June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Did they tell you how sure they were of accuracy at the time? Was he in an awkward position? I guess it was 15 weeks so on the early side so ladies who've had scans later on I wouldn't panic too much

I always hear these stories, although I've never met anyone in real life who was told the wrong gender. It's a good job you asked them to check again today, can you imagine all the stress of trying to re-organise everything if you'd found out at birth??

My BIL had this in real life 20 yrs ago. They told him girl and his wife delivered a boy. I can't even imagine! ;-) xx

Tinkerbell - On their website they say they have 100% accuracy lol. My husband is calling them tomorrow to let them know they were very very wrong! I went at 15 weeks with my daughter too so I assumed it would be correct this time too. At the gender scan, he was being really really difficult to get into a good position to check gender, but eventually the tech was able to see everything.

But my tech at the 20 week scan basically said that his umbilical cord was in the way and was hiding his boy parts lol. They were very very clear at this scan though!


Teeny Weeny - omg haha I couldn't imagine delivering a totally different gender than what you were told! That would be the biggest shock ever lol

 

[tinkerbelle93]

100%? Haha will be interested to know what they say when your husband phones them

 

[Teeny Weeny]

By delivery most people have everything they need/want aimed at gender. Seriously, can you imagine having to change everything and get your head around a baby you had imagined as someone different. Lol xx

 

[ashleyg]

Tinkerbell - hah, we will see! They'd better offer us our money back or give us at least a free 3D session haha

Teeny Weeny - that would have been such a stressful situation to come home too lol! I seriously can't even imagine that oh my gosh

 

[Starlight32]

I'm shocked their website says they are 100% accurate. Sounds like a bold statement to make!

 

[ehjmorris]

We are having a boy!!!

I think I will remember the look on my OH's face forever, same face as when he held his DD for the first time, proud as punch

Can't wait to go shopping but will have to wait for the weekend xx

Congratulations joo!

Ashley- congrats on team blue! I find it strange they're able to say 100%, all the companies I've seen in the UK have to specify that it's no guarantee of the gender being accurate and they make you wait til at least 16 weeks.

Hey ladies! I know I'm not active in this thread very often but I wanted to share my shocking news with you all...

Idk if some of you remember that I had done a 15 week gender scan and found out that baby #2 is a girl. I was disappointed because I had really wanted a boy since I already had my daughter. Anyways! I had my 20 week scan yesterday and told the tech I wanted to double check the gender was still a girl while she was checking everything else out with baby.

So...she started to do the gender check first and I see her jaw drop. I start panicking and ask her what's wrong if everything is okay...if baby is a girl and she pauses for a few seconds then goes "sooo...........it's not a girl. It's a boy."

My jaw hit the floor lol. I kept having her double and triple check that it was actually a boy. But he DEFINATELY is a little guy hahah he was flashing himself all around so there was absolutely no doubt this time. Safe to say DH and I are completely shocked! I had to run around yesterday after the scan and return all of the pink clothes I had bought for what I had thought was our girl! Luckily we didn't buy any big ticket items that we have to return..only thing is the rocking chair but that is easy to exchange. I spent all of last night re-bookmarking ideas for a BOY nursery now lol.

Anyways! I thought you all would get a kick out of that little story. SO you can change me to team blue!!

I attached a picture of his potty shot and his profile! Clearly all boy haha.

Omg! Wow i wasnt expecting that at all haha congrats on the baby boy tho, thats fantastic news

 

[mommyxofxone]

Congrats joo !!!!

And wow! What a shocker angel!!! I'd love to hear that phone convo lol!!!!

Well ladies I've finally come down with the dreaded stomach flu everyone around here has been passing around. I'm worried about the effects it could have on baby. Has anyone dealt with this during pregnancy before? Unfortunately this strain seems to be extra brutal as well.

I don't know much about it sorry. I'll state the obvious though; stay well hydrated and try to rest. Hope you feel better soon

Unfortunately I've had it with both my boys pregnancies, once at 34 weeks (as someone came to baby shower with it!!! :/) and once at 10 weeks. Baby will be fine, just try and drink as much fluids as you can to stay hydrated, that's all you really can do. Other than that baby won't be affected by it.

 

[babyclements]

I've a sore throat and what seems like the start of a cold today,
So I treated myself to a new diaper bag and set pieces to go with for the new baby! Very excited lol can't really buy anything as don't know if boy/girl so diaper bag helped fulfill the urge to buy something to feel like I'm preparing I can't really buy anything as I pretty well have everything after having 2 babies in the last 4 years!

 

[ehjmorris]

Love the bag! I just purchased one too, and a breast pump so that i had something new for this baby as we have everything else we need

 

[mommyxofxone]

Miracles I'm so sorry!!!! I usually get sick this one of year and usually something terrible. Soo im still waiting.

And baby Clements thank you for being so reassuring about it! I've been nervous about stomach flu and its potential issues too so this even made me feel better and I'm not even sick yet. Love the bag BTW!!!!

 

[babyclements]

It's not nice having a big or stomach flu while pregnant at all, but the one thing I could be happy about was as long as I just kept drinking (even if it seemed to
be coming back as fast) baby would be fine. Gatorade or lucozade sport if in UK/Ireland and lots and lots of water!!!!

Are you in the US? If so you can get a free pump through your health ins!! I used the same
Pump for My two boys (got new tubes and bits for each child) but think I'll also need a new one for this baby. The old one may need a rest
