so nervous about 3D/4D today

mrs.monica · January 2011

I know it's stupid...but I'm just not convinced 100% they were correct in my u/s...so I'm so afraid they will tell us it's a boy. Not that I won't be elated...I love love love being a boy mom...but now that the ball is rolling....and we have bedding, a purple room, etc...I feel totally overwhelmed if we have to slam on the brakes and change gears.

Does anyone else feel scared of them being wrong in the u/s? why am I so freaked out?

My DH was very nervous that we had been told the wrong gender at our ultrasound, especially since our OBGYN has a pretty bad track record and DH wasnt very sure he could see what the dr saw in terms of "parts". We decided to wait to do anything really gender specific until after our 3D ultrasound just in case. It did end up being a boy, and we saw clearly his little parts. We have it on the video too so DH is reassured now.

I know what you mean about being a little worried, but I would try to relax. It is what it is, and if it does end up that the initial ultrasound gender guess was wrong you still have lots of time to adjust your mentality to a different gender than you were expecting, and to fix the nursery.

I am nervous it was wrong too. I am too nervous to even want a 3d scan! Not sure why just we are set on the second girl and room is ready!

Good luck! I worry too. But you still have plenty of time.

I hope all goes great at the U/S!

After reading all the horror stories a/b being told it was a girl & ended up being a boy, I was a little apprehensive as well (made sure to keep all my receipts!). We went for our 3d/4d last wkend & the tech had the wand on my stomach for a second, then lifted it away. I thought something was wrong & she asked "you know what you're having already?" I said "yes, we were told a girl." And she put the wand back on & her girly parts were clearly visible.

No matter what happens, it will be fine, but I do understand your apprehension.

I feel like the u/s picture I saw of the girl parts was pretty darn clear, but you just never know.

I can't wait for your update and to see pics of Brynn!

I'm still not convinced 100% that my LO is a girl. I just don't know why...maybe it's because I had it stuck in my head since my BFP that I was having a boy. Honestly, I'm afraid of getting the bedding and it turning out that my initial gut feeling was right! I would love either boy or girl of course!

I was VERY nervous when I looked at our u/s pic and my dr had written "looks like a boy" Looks like? Looks like?!?!

I didn't do any painting until I got a much more sure answer from the dr. and then I promptly sold off all of the girl clothes we were given before DS was born.

Good luck!!! I completely understand where you are coming from though.

We were not able to find out the gender at our 20 wk u/s so that was the whole reason we did the 3D. The tech did the u/s in both 2D and 3D. I knew it was a girl as soon as I saw the 3 lines in 2D, and confirming it in 3D was just amazing.We did not plan anything until the u/s, and now that we found out this week we are in the planning stages!

If you clearly saw the lines at your previous appt you should be fine! But I can totally understand your nerves. Good luck, sit back, and enjoy seeing your little one!

you girls are and awesome bunch! seriously! You all make me feel like I'm not crazy being so nervous and not sure. Thanks!! I'll post later tonight with the results.

I was nervous for my 2nd ultrasound, worrying that it would change. I have had 3 total now where all 3 times they found the 3 lines, so I am pretty confident she is a girl. There is still always that "what if," but then I just have to tell myself, 3 different techs and a dr all saw the 3 lines and were very sure she is girl.

GHBEA · January 2011

I'm slightly nervous because deep down I really wanted to have a boy. We didnt see any lines because our U/S tech just asked us we said yes she said its a girl and turned off the machine we didnt get a picture.

The only thing that would put me into a panic if it turns out to be a boy is all the little girl clothes we have bought and the fact that I have fallen in love with what I am believing is my little princess Olivia. Of course I would be just as in love with a little prince but planning for one sex then having the other would be a little bit of a shock.

In the end we are just happy to be welcoming our child into our family.

We saw the goods plain as day on the u/s twice and I'm still terrified that at the next one she'll tell us he's a girl! Unless his penis disappeared I know that's not going to happen, but I'm still afraid.

vilaro · January 2011

We saw the sandwich (three little lines) with our very own eyes and I STILL think, ya never know what will come out! So I hear ya, lady! I take some solace in knowing our nursery and major purchases are all gender neutral.

Keep us posted!

I know exactly how you feel! we have an u/s every appt and the baby has never cooperated with us! even at our anatomy scan they couldn't tell us for sure. So far we've been told they're 90-95% sure we're having a girl since no penis was found. I am continually freaking out that we might end up having a boy (it wouldn't be a bad thing just we have all girl stuff and her room is amost complete!) At each appt I pray that the baby will show us the goods but it never happens! hopefully we'll get a look at our next appt on 2/17.
