May Marvels 2018

Foreign, my first instinct when seeing the scan was boy like everyone else, because of what looks like a nub. But I looked closer and I'm pretty sure what people are assuming is the nub is actually the umbilical cord! So it could very well be a girl. I think mothers intuition goes a long way in guessing gender, although I do know there are a number of people that are convinced of one gender and land up with the opposite.

There is no nub captured in that image. I think what the ladies are guessing off of is the skull (skull theory). Which is totally just for fun. All 3 of my girls had different looking skulls, dd2 got all boy guesses based on that theory, so I'm well aware of its accuracy :p

I completely do not believe in intuition. I was 100% sure my 1st was a boy. 500% sure my 2nd was a boy followed by 1000% certainty my 3rd was a boy... I know it was just all wishful thinking. I'm not buying into that anymore. The reason why I think this one is another girl, is simply because I don't think I'm capable of growing boys, or perhaps because I wanted one so badly and am just not meant to be this lucky.... I don't know, but it surely is not the motherly intuition I once believed in :/
 
Foreign chick, I do agree with mothers intuition somewhat. I *knew* my DS was a boy. There's been no boys in my immediate family for 3 generations and everyone told me I was wrong, my family doesn't carry boys, it's 100% a girl etc etc. But there he was, proudly showing off his boy bits :haha:

This time I'm getting girl feelings, but I'm pretty sure it's wishful thinking, I just have a feeling all my losses were girls and I'm just not made to carry them.

It's frustrating waiting to find out though, were still umming about paying for a private scan asap or waiting for the anatomy scan.
 
Foreign chick dont give up hope! We had 3 girls then a boy! Dh was sooo happy he even cried at the scan it was so lovely! I'd seen it was a boy as soon as they put the probe on it was a lovely moment.
I go to and throw in gender but if I'm honest with myself I'm probably more swaying to a girl. X
 
I believe in intuition and have known the sex of all of my babies. Now saying that I believed I was having a girl from the beginning with this pg but around 6 weeks or so I had a very vivid dream I gave birth to a boy so I started doubting that she was a girl. The mind can do funny things and play little tricks on you. I hope you all have what you want. Probably if I had all of the same sex it might matter to me but I'm just praying she's healthy and we get to take her home.
I'm excited for more scan pics!
Mrs. I understand your worry and like I said in your post the fact that you have a good hb is great news.
 
Had my 12wk visit yesterday and it went great!!! It took the midwife forever to find the heartbeat and it made me so nervous, but the baby was still really low. So thankful though! I'll be 13 weeks Thursday!
 
Kitten - I live in Colorado and the majority of the hospitals follow the Baby Friendly Initiative and they are all also starting to use g&a. All the birth centers have it for sure. It's great. I really don't know if I'll use it but I guess we'll see.

Reiko - omg pickles are so amazing haha. Yes it is so great they make mw offices kid friendly. I mean it only makes sense.

I was positive ds was a girl. I fought tooth and nail over it because everyone said boy. It took some time for me to come to terms with it. This time I really don't know haha. I want another boy but I don't have strong feelings either way.

Yesterday was so awful. I couldn't keep anything down. Luckily ds took a 5 hour nap (and he slept all night too!) So I got some sleep and then laid with him and watched tv. I seem to be doing better today. I might venture out into the snow and get some supplies for the Christmas gifts I'm making family.

I was totally guessing based on skull. But for us DD2 had a boy skull so it's not foolproof for sure!! Just guesses but still fun.
 
Just had my 13wk NT scan. Cervix is still long and closed which I was stressing about so that was a relief. Everything was looking perfect and then she was checking the heart more than I felt necessary. Sure enough she isn't happy with it. Says it's pointing towards the wrong side and she can only see one large chamber filling, can't see the other one filling at all (ironically I nearly commented that I don't know how they see different chambers cos it looks just like one big one to me). So we have to go back tomorrow to be seen by a cardiac specialist to get a proper diagnosis and prognosis :(
She did confirm that it's a girl though :)

There's something about everyone telling me this is a boy that's getting on my nerves lol. I'll be fine with a boy, but just the fact they are being so knownit all with it is making me want to prove them wrong lol!!!
 
Oh, no, Huggles! I hope that everything turns out okay. Glad they can get you in to see the cardiologist so quickly, though. FX for you.

Same here lol. I don't know why it just makes me mad that people care so much. Does it really matter? No.

Aww Huggles that's stressful! Yay for girl though.

Thanks, yeah they're actually fully booked but have moved patients around in order to fit me in which kind of also makes me slightly more stressed as it's clearly wrong enough that they want an urgent diagnosis, but I'm also glad as it's less time to stress and wonder. Trying not to think about it too much until we know more as otherwise I imagine all the worst case scenarios and I just don't want to be put in a position where I have to make a really hard decision. Really hoping it's nothing too serious
 
Huggles I have all my fingers crossed that everything is okay. It's good they've got you in so fast, but I can see why that's got you stressed too. At least it's just one more day to wait and hopefully you'll have some answers. :hugs:
 
Huggles you posted at the same time as me this morning so I didn't see your update. I'm so sorry, ultrasound results can be so stressful. I know we had a bad report at our anatomy scan last pregnancy and it had fully resolved by birth. So hopefully it's something that can work itself out through the pregnancy. I know there's some common heart stuff that can be easily operated on in the first few days even after birth. But hopefully it's nothing an a cardiologist will put your mind at ease tomorrow!! Baby girl is in my thoughts and prayers xx
 
Is anyone committing to any names yet? I think I nailed Dh down. Peter James for a boy and Summer Anne for a girl.
 
We're for sure naming a girl Lucy Ione. A boy I don't know. I like Owen but dh hasn't said either way.
 
We've got Hazel Raine and Noah Brian so far. We've already redone the girl name and now I'm iffy about Noah. Gunna hang on til gender scan and see from there tho. Middle names are 100% tho.
