Omso I'm probably being super paranoid but I just can't bring myself to wash any of the little pink things we have bought I am so worried she is going to turn out to be a he. We couldn't see at 19wks but were given 60% at 22wks and a pretty def girl at 26 wks, I think I'm having a girl but I just don't want to pull those tags off just in case.
Anyone else like this or am I being a nut?
Edit the post, and you'll be able to delete it from there.
I know what you mean, we were told it was definitely a girl, but I wasn't convinced until she was born.
Steographers are very well trained to know the difference these days. When confirming a girl they look for the labia. There is a only very small chance they could be wrong - but it does happen. But, since you have had 2 scans, the odds are in favour of a Girl!
Good luck!
I thought i was pg with a girl this time, both my 18 and 33 week scans confirmed it was a boy! So with two confirmations its a girl i would pull those tags off girl!!
Hi Saram,
No, i dont think your being a nut!!
I was told at 16w he was over 95% she was a girl, then at my 20w i didnt say i knew but asked the sex (different guy) and he said he was pretty sure it was a girl. (god i hope so!!)
I have some pink clothes but most are white or another colour. I was thinking the same thing, so what i have done is i washed one little pink jump suit (that i want for the hospital) and two pink blankets, im also taking one white blanket - just incase. I thought i'd leave the rest of the pink things for when i get home - just to be safe, if she does turn out to be a boy - i'll keep the blankets and suit for my next one (and pray for a girl!!) or give them to friend who has a girl! Although, i have already told DP that if we do have a boy he'll need to run to bunnings to get blue paint as we painted a feature wall pink in the babys room!
Good luck!
Saram I'll merge the two threads for you & delete a post ;)
I agree - pull the tags off. With my daughter i was told "im pretty sure its a girl". Well that was it for me, i went out and bought pink, pink, pink. Like you, it wasnt until i was nearing my EDD that i thought mmmmm maybe they were wrong....but whats the worst that can happen ???
If you have a girl, and dont wash the clothes, thats an extra chore for you when you get home from hossi.......
If you are a nut then so am I. I know exactly how you feel as I am the same.
I have 5 boys and was told at my 20wk u/s this one is a girl(99.9%) but I won't believe it until I see with my own eyes there are no little boy bits. :lol:
I have bought a few pink things for the baby but I won't take them into the hospital with me or take the tags off and wash them incase I have to return them and exchange them for blue.I know lots of women having babies around the same time as me so I will probably just give them away if I have to.
I have a feeling it is a girl but we will just have to wait and see.
I will :crossfingers: for us that it turns out the way we hope.
All the best
Michelle :)
Thanks good to know I'm not the only one. My family went pink crazy when we told them despite me saying I won't be convinced until I see with my own eyes. I have lots of neutral and white from when DS was born so I might wash the up and the going home outfit and leave the rest until we come home. I have picked out a beautiful linen set that I told DH he has to go and buy the moment we can confirm with our own eyes that she is a she!
Looks like lots of us having girls soon so fingers crossed for all of us.
oh and thanks Christy for fixing up the boo boo
LOL I was the same with my DD - even though I could CLEARLY see that she was a girl on more than one occasion I still didn't pull the tags off her clothes or wash anything.
I got to 36 weeks pregnant and was still debating whether to do it or not when I went into labour - so my mother had to unpack everything and wash it all before I came home from hospital three days later!.
We were told we are having a girl at our 20 week scan. But just in case I am only buying a few pink outfits! I will pull tags off and wash them for the hospital but if she turns out to be a he then I will just give them to somebody else! You could always give them to somebody on BB if you have to!!
we were told we were having a boy @ our 20 week scan, and again at 36 weeks when I had anoher scan.
I still didn't believe it until milo was born.
BUT I did pull all the tags off and wash everything. Its much easier with blue than pink. Lots of little girls wear blue. Less little boys wear pink :)
