    Unhappy Cant turn off protection mode

    Its mad. Its driving me crazy and it sucks!

    I want so badly to believe that this baby is a little girl but I just cant. I think I convinced myself so well before the scan that this was a boy that now I cant believe that its not. Dont get me wrong I was completely over the moon, I burst into tears (happy tears) and just lay there with a dopey big grin on my face.
    "He said I have seen it a few times now but I think its a girl." "I was like are you sure??" "He said the legs are far apart and if there is anything dangly there it is very well hidden. There are the three lines we look for so im pretty sure but of course I cant say 100%"

    I am booking in for a 3d scan next week in hope that someone else saying its a girl I might start to believe. I bought a little pink tee shirt today soooooo cute and adorable but it felt wrong.
    Queer aye???

    I was the same. COnvinced DD was a boy...took 2 sonographers to convince me it was a girl.

    I can certainly understand the reluctance to believe - especially if you have been wanting a little girl for a while now

    FWIW - I didn't get a definite answer when pregnant with Miss M - the scanning people would just say, well, I think it is, but don't buy pink blah blah blah.... until my 36 week appointment with my OB and she told me it was definitely a girl - then I still didn't believe (because I wanted a girl sooo much) until she was born and I quizzed everyone as to what she was.. LOL

    You're halfway through now - so try not to stress over it

    Congratulations on your little girl!!! How lovely

    I know how you feel, I have two boys and had psyched myself into preparing for another boy. When we were told it was a girl at the u/s I was over the moon (not that I would have minded a third boy), but also slightly unbelieving in case they were wrong. I didn't want to get all my hopes up and then be disappointed later. So I guess we are normal! My DH felt a bit the same and when she was born he announced to me "It's definitely a girl"!

    That is so awesome that you have a 3D scan booked! That would have really put my mind at ease too. I also felt weird buying pink stuff in the beginning, but then I just went nuts LOL! It's great fun having a bit of a break from buying blue all the time

    Relax and enjoy! You know it would have been pretty obvious if it was a boy

    I had the same thinking as you. I wasn't overly fussed what we had but when they said it was a girl I was pretty excited but then didn't want to get to excited just in case they were wrong

    We still kept a boys name up our sleeves just in case. Our sonographer said to us.. If you come back to me with a boy then I will fall over She said the 3 lines and no dangly bits was a great indicator it was a girl

    Oh Im so glad what im feeling is somewhat normal.

    I feel like I am going against everything that I have been telling myself for the last 20 weeks so thats why it wont sink in.

    I was sure that once the ultrasound was done I would feel better but I dont! Im sure the 3d scan will help.

    SNAP OUT OF IT STACEY!!!
