Ultrasounds- what would you be thinking?

Hi girls,

I'm new here. And really want some opinions on this or whether you have been through this before.

I'm due in 8 weeks with bub number 3. I had 2 boys, and in both 19 week ultrasounds you could definately tell they were boys!! In this pregnancy I had the 19 week and a paid 28 week ultrasound to find out conclusively the sex. I'm happy either way, but it would be nice to have a girl as they are like gold in my DH's massive family of boys. Both times bubs wouldn't open his/her legs. Both times the sonographer has said it "looks like a boy". When I examined the 19 week ultrasound at home, I saw the 3 lines in multiple frames.

From the beginning I have felt for a few reasons that it's a girl. This pregnancy has been completely different from the other 2, like no morning sickness, I lost weight in the beginning, and many other opposites. And when I was pregnant with the boys I knew they were boys. This time early on I knew it was a girl, but after the ultrasounds I'm back to 50/50!!

Either way this is my last pregnancy, and I'm happy with what I get, but I can't shake the annoyed feeling of not being able to find out. Have you seen 3 lines and it still turned out to be a boy?

I know I'm being impatient!!!

Thanks for any replies.:D

I know with my DS i was told he was a girl at the 20 week scan....

I hope you get a princess this time!

They never got a good enough look at DD - she was always in a bad position or had her legs together, so we didn't find out till 36 weeks (we had the normal 20 week ultrasound and a 3D one at 28 weeks - still didn't find out!!)

My OB has a small ultrasound machine in her room and she was the one that finally told us at 36 weeks what it was. Sometimes these babies just don't want us finding out!!

I hope its a little girl for you :D

i know with my 4 pregnancies if anyone had of said what one would u have thort u were having a boy i would have said pg #3 - i was so sick, and generally it was just a uncomfortable pregnancy...but it turned out to be a girl.

With my last preg, it was a replica to my first 2 girls - the way i carried and all - but to our delight we had a boy - so t hat theory of having diff pregnancies thus being a diff sex i simply do not believe at all.

I hope you get your little girl....its not long now. But equally as nice to have 3 lil boys......

I hope you get a little princess, I cannot tell you about the lines but was going to ask if your Ob has a little machine and to see if you could see anything a bit further into your pregnancy - just like Arimeh did

It must be so frustrating not knowing for sure! I have two boys and am having a girl this time, I definitely saw three lines at the 20 week u/s and like you, I know what a boy looks like at an u/s LOL!

My pregnancy has been different this time - I didn't get m/s like the other times, I don't have the big dark line down my belly this time, etc. But like Mbear said, different symptoms this time doesn't necessarily mean it's a different gender. Hopefully you're having a girl too, although boys are so awesome and three brothers would be so lovely :D.

Do you have any u/s pics you can post that give clues to the gender? There are some girls on BB that are great at guessing correctly ;)

I never found out with my boys what I was having but with our last we decided to find out at our 32 week scan and it was a girl. But the whole pregnancy I felt like I was having a girl. I didn't know if it was wishful thinking or not. I didn't care either way what we had either but did think a little girl would be nice

Sending you little pink vibes as they are lovely (if not demanding) little things lol..

I had gut feeling with both my 2 DS was happy to share his bits on all scans where DD was not willing to share but was still confirmed. I have found that its little girls that tend to not show there "bits" girls tend to be shy compared to boys :)

but my advise it go on your gut feeling! if you have a strong feeling that bubs is a girl then i would go with that.
