Sex of baby

onemorelittleone · July 2009

we got the results of the pathology report exactly two weeks after my D&C. The baby had Trisomy 9, and was deamed "incompatible with life". I went for my follow up check up yesterday and I just HAD to know whether our baby was a boy or girl. Our angel is a little girl.

Did anyone else here find out (if you didn't already know) what the sex of your baby was?? Did it make it worse, or help??

we knew both times before mc what the sex was but i find that some people on here named there lo and was easier for them. gl.

We knew it was two girls since I went 37 weeks. It makes me want to have girls next time I get pregnant

We got the pathology report from my D&C this week and found out our LO was a girl. I think it really helped to bring me closure. It's been almost 5 weeks since I found out I was going to m/c and I haven't been able to really let go of it. It has helped DH comes to terms with what has been happening as well and he understands what I've been going through a little more.

I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you are able to find some peace now that you know more about your angel.

My first and last m/c's were too early to know what the sex was, plus they were natural at home. But the second one at 14 weeks we were told was a perfect baby boy. Made it better for me to know, but much worse for FI.

We were able to find out the sex of one of our twins but not the other. It was very painful to find out but it helped me mourn. We named her Molly which helps. For the most part though, we call them "The Twins."

So sorry for your loss.

I did not find out the sex (I think it might have been too early). DH and I just discussed this last night, he said he would not want to know as it would make the grieving process harder for him. Totally understandable. I can see it going both ways as I would not have minded knowing. Either way I'm sorry for your loss.

We found out that babies 3 & 4 were both normal boys. I'm glad I know.

We knew we were having two boys before we delivered them, but didn't know the sex of the three babies we lost in the pregnancy at 12 weeks until a few hours after I gave birth. We found out they were all boys too - that I was carrying 5 boys! It actually helped a lot to know their sex b/c I think I would have always wondered. I can grieve more fully now.

I hope you are able to find peace with your results as well.

It has been really hard not knowing b/c we can't even name our baby... we've been calling it "Sprinkle" until we knew the sex, so we just keep on calling him/her that. I suppose in the end it doesn't matter, it was our little baby regardless. I can't help but think it was a boy.
(Unfortunately, it seems that others don't sympathize so well if they don't know the sex b/c they think it was "too little" to really count as a baby...)

We found out Aiden passed away at his gender ultrasound. We didn't find out he was a boy though until I delivered him. I would be greatly sad if I never found out.

I don't know what baby #2 was, but I would deem it a blessing to know. I wish I did.

I wasn't told why or what the gender was. I wish I knew why, but my doctor said they don't do testing unless someone has 3 or more m/c's.

Looking back, I'm actually glad I don't know what the gender was. That's just me though.
