Team Yellow...again

[VGibs]

So...I'm here to kind of lament. I have 3 daughters. I've never been able to find out the sex of any of my kids. Not. Once. I've always been disappointed by it but this time seems devastating because this may be our last baby. I've never been able to go out and pick a cute outfit. I've never been able to have a baby shower. I've never been able to pick a name and love it ahead of time. I just kind of wanted that experience this time. Just to feel it once. Don't get me wrong. I am very happy everything seems healthy and I'm very grateful that I am able to conceive at all. I just kind of wanted to have that pregnancy experience just once.

Why haven't you ever been able to figure out the sex? They just couldn't tell on the scan? Honestly, if I were you, I'd go to another place (there are places here in USA that do them for about $50) and request a gender scan. Because that's what they're looking for (unlike at the Dr's office where they just want to make sure baby is healthy), they try much harder to find it; often their policy is if they can't find it the first time, they'll have you come back for free as many times as it takes to tell you what you're having. You definitely deserve on your last pregnancy to be able to buy little outfits and have a baby shower!

I agree with Justplay I would have a private gender scan if you can

I agree with the other girls - have another scan to find out gender if you can spare the expense I wish I had - we were team yellow because baby had her legs firmly crossed at 19w and in New Zealand (at least in my city) you can't have elective gender ultrasounds...

I really wished I had been able to find out in advance - would have loved to have been able to buy girly clothes, not gender neutral, and to sell my son's baby clothes that we won't be needing anymore.

Thanks! They do have gender scan places but they are an hour away and cost $110 a pop! I'm really hoping we can find out this week but if not I may ask my parents for some help to get the gender scan.
