Okay, so third pregnancy, two girls already. This whole time I have felt boy, since the day I found out I just had a gut feeling it was a boy. We did our anatomy scan she said girl. We don’t care either way, just want a healthy baby, especially with the virus going on. But for some reason I don’t believe it. Every “myth” points to boy, my oldest thinks it’s a boy the other is to young to even know... but my gut keeps saying the tech was wrong. I have tons of girl clothes that I need to get out and start washing etc, but I don’t want to do the nursery, or anything because it feels wrong? Anyone else feel/ go thru that? I attached my u/s. With both girls I had a gut that it was a girl and once they said it both times with them I started getting or cleaning clothes got the nursery ready etc so I’m not sure why this time is different. 😳😳😳😳😳 help!

U/s

1MommyRunner · July 2020

Hi! Mama feelings can be really strong! I have one of each and am expecting another boy. The u/s looks like a girl to me due to the distinct three lines, but if you feel very strongly, maybe schedule a private u/s to get confirmation?

If you're really not convinced, I'd ask for genetic testing or another ultrasound. Either elective or at your next appointment. My first I thought for sure was a boy just based on my gut feeling and she's 100% a girl.

On another note, please introduce yourself on the intro thread- we have a really supportive group of mamas here and I'm sure you're more likely to get more responses if you start to dip your toes in to conversations to get a feel of the board.

Your ultrasound definitely looks like a girl to me! I agree with PP that if you need further clarification you should get a 2nd ultrasound/opinion. But personally I would trust the tech and doctors when they said it was a girl 😊

@mamaofthree31 hi! Im looking forward to getting to know you better in the next few months! Like @crizz13 said, it would be really helpful if you had the chance to introduce yourself in the introduction thread

for my own experience, I had a gut feeling from the beginning that I was having a girl which was confirmed at my A/S but I won't lie, I know i would have been disappointed if it had been a boy. I was actually worried going in that i would start crying if it wasn't a girl. Its not that I didn't want a boy, and of course a healthy baby is top priority, but even though I tried not to have any expectations one way or another, I still did. For so many weeks, every time I imagined having a baby it was a girl and it definitely would have been an adjustment to have to change all of those dreams of a little girl to a little boy. I also felt ashamed that I had these strong feelings (because healthy is most important and it really doesnt matter, right) and didn't tell my husband. Thinking back, I wish I would have so he could have known and been supportive had the gender been different than my expectations. I wish you luck in either getting different gender testing done and proving the tech wrong or finding peace with giving your daughters another sister (I'm thankful for mine every day!)

I agree with the other ladies, u/s says girl to me because of the 3 white lines. You could get a blood test to be sure.

Your U/S definitely looks like a girl.

This is my third baby also (and including SD we have 3 pre-exisitng girls). Everything about this pregnancy has pointed to boy for me too. I was so convinced it was a boy. But, 3 U/S confirmations and a genetic test later the doctors keep insisting it's another girl. Gender disappointment is a real thing, and even though it feels shitty to think about or believe you're a little disappointed -- it's ok and normal. Did we REALLY REALLY REALLY want a boy, oh yes. Do we love baby Maddie any less than we would if she would've been baby Brooks - not even .01%.

Also echoing others, stay around and enjoy our support and friendship - drop an introduction so we can get to know you

@Ecat504 hard agree with everything you just said. I had somehow convinced myself early on that DD was a boy and there definitely was a moment of shock and sadness when the tech said she was a girl at our anatomy scan. It took me a little bit to switch gears and think of her as a girl, but I would not have her any other way! And now expecting two more girls I'm through the roof excited. If they had told me yesterday that one of them was a boy I imagine I'd have a bit of a similar disappointment, not that I'd love them any less it's just readjusting how you think of baby. For some reason I always imagined my first born would be a boy, but now looking at a house full of girls and no boys, I wouldn't have it any other way

Thanks all, I just don’t know why I can’t wrap my head around it. I’m not sad or was wishing for one or the other, which is why it’s weird to me. It would be cute either way to have the girls have a little sister or a little brother. I for some reason just can’t shake the feeling of them being wrong. And the u/s I posted maybe if the legs were more apart I’d feel better, I just keep thinking maybe they were too closed. But might be looking into a private scan or blood draw. Thanks!
