Well ladies we had our 28 week scan today - and I wish we hadn't!! It was done during our regular OB visit, and DH asked her if she could confirm the gender as we've bought a number of girly, pink cloths and dresses (as you know!!). She had a look and said she wasn't sure - she saw something she thought was the labia, but then we could clearly see something that looked like a penis!! She said if she had to make a guess she'd say boy but she really wasn't confident at all. She admitted she wasn't very good at this, and said she'd check next time but i'm now feeling so confused and torn and uncertain as to what to think. Please don't get me wrong - i'm more than happy for the baby to be a boy, but after being told it's a girl and thinking of it as a girl for all these weeks and buying it girl clothes etc., well if I kind of feel like if it is a boy then we've 'lost' our little girl.
I'm off to Google the accuracy of these things - I know that early on the clitoris can look like a penis but is that normal at this stage? She did say if it was a boy then it's boy bits are very small... I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!
Hope you are all well - lilmiss, sending some labour vibes your way xx
if she says shes not very good and the last one was convinced it was a girl id go with the last one... but ive known way to many people who have had them get it wrong nd go through the wrong themed nursery dillhemma after the birth not to mention emotional readjustment that i didnt really want to know this time Id rather know for sure at the birth then think its one and get the other..
speaking of which... Im feeling soooo impatient the last couple days!!!!!! especially after being told on the scan that bubs was 3 kilos and ready to roll!
Ive done walking DTD curry chilli doing Rasperry leaf tea tonight.. warm baths and showers. I know I still have 19 days left but hopeing ill go a lil earlier.. I went at 39 weeks and 4 days with DS and they say ur second gos earlier.. so heres hopeing! Oh and I really hope lilmiss is off pushing her lil bundle out as we speak!!! GOOD LUCK LILL MISS!!
Hopefully not all at the same time, Kyra!!! I'd be worried about spilling the curry if so ha ha ha
I'm watching videos on babycenter.com. I really ought not do this without DH being in the house as I scare myself!! But I'd rather be prepared... what do you all have for the weekend? I'm starting with a curry (mmmmmm) and a hen do tomorrow, and the cinema on Sunday (you'll note not much study listed here, bad girl!)
(other than those of you who might be in labour, I guess I can work out what you're doing this weekend.....)
I don't post in here very often at all but am having a bad day and knew you'd all understand. to everyone - it's so good to see some LTTTC girls graduating into this thread, and I feel so privileged to have shared much of my journey with you all. Sending lots of labourvibes to LilMiss!
So... a bit of a rant. One of my friends started TTC about four months ago, and I discovered today that she's 12 weeks pregnant. Quite aside from being very happy for her (truly!), and even looking forward to sharing the experience with her, I'm also really angry with the world and feeling very sad about it. Why is she so lucky? Why did the dice fall her way so easily? Seriously, Why can't it be as hard for her as it was for us? I have been very emotional and upset all afternoon and haven't yet returned her call - I will, and I will be gracious and happy for her (because I am), but I am also hurting a lot as well. That's not her fault and I won't make her suffer for it, but I expect that she'll be understanding of why I am a bit reserved around her. I know this is my baggage, and not hers. I'm also quite shocked to discover that my emotions are so strong despite me now being 32 weeks pregnant myself - but I guess that's what infertility will do to you.
Okay, rant over. I do often lurk in here and enjoy seeing you all getting along with your pregnancies. I'm just very bad at keeping up with everyone and keeping up with myself half the time!
I'll be honest, the first time I read this, I thought you were being a little bit unreasonable. But then I read it again, and realised you said 4 months and not 4 years which is what my brain read (assumed) as who on earth gets pregnant within in a month... I hope getting it out your system helped.. I don't think the anger of LTTTC ever leaves you. Or the total lack of fairness, however you measure equity.
56 days to go! That's pretty exciting though... are you all packed up and ready to go? It's lovely to hear from you
Well... I'm still here... All activity has ceased and I think that I was having Pre-labour pains... So frustrating.. Add to that.. I met a lady at the shops who told me that she had pre-labour pains for 5 days and they would come down to 3 mins apart but would stop at night.. Thanks for that.. makes me feel so much more optomistic (Note sarcasm).. So labour alarm is reset and I'm back to waiting...
Thanks for all your labour vibes though and sorry for the false alarm..
Id rather know for sure at the birth then think its one and get the other..
