finding out baby's gender

Thankyou.

It especially made me feel good too because I had lost two babies to miscarriage previously, so it was like I was getting back the two I lost in a way. I always felt that my first one had been a girl and my second one had been a boy. So I was overjoyed when I found out that I was having boy/girl twins.

 

Do you ever notice how a lot of women who have had misscarriages go on to have twins? It seems like someone is reassuring you, in a way, that everything ok and that you still got your baby that you were supposed to, but it was just a little late.

 

I like to know. I like to know so I can get it things for eather a girl or a boy

 

I know, I've heard of a lot of women who had that happen to them. I know I felt so much more at peace when I learned I was having twins. Not that I don't still think about my little lost ones, because I still do nearly everyday, but I feel more peace now, I don't hang onto that sense of loss like I did, and like you said, I ended up with my babies, even if it was a little later.

 

I would want to find out...

 

In my family, U/Ss tend to be wrong every time. I can't tell you the number of times cousins have been pregnant and told that they would have a girl or a boy and would prepare (I hate the idea of blue=boy, pink=girl) for whatever, and then have the opposite.

So when I have children, I will not have u/s unless needed and NOT to find out the sex of the babies. Plus, in my family, we tend to stricktly follow the carryoutfront=have a boy thing. So I'll probably have a pretty good idea anyway.

As far as miscarriages, I had a misscarriaged just a little over a year ago. It was something that I MADE happen. I talked to my baby and told it that I wasn't ready and that when I was, he (I knew it was a boy...just knew) was welcome to come back and I would love to meet him. After that little talk, I started to miscarry.

And I do firmly believe that the next time I'm pregnant, it will be with the same little soul that I carried the first time around. It will be my son. I just don't know how much longer I can wait. Uni isn't fulfilling me anymore. And I feel like a part of me is missing because I'm not dealing with children. My biological clock is ticking down like nobody's business. I think my son is just as impatient as I am for him to be able to come back....haha...

 

Hey!
well, I had my US a few weeks ago.......and my baby did exactily what I thought was going to happen! lol
At first the tech was doing her measurments (sp?) and stuff, and everything was all good. Then they called in my bf (who was sitting very impatiently in the waiting room, lol) and showed us these cool pics of our baby. They weren't the usual 2D ones, these ones were 4D! We got to see our baby's eyes, ears, nose, just entire face. Everything was right detailed! It was awsome!
BUT, the minute that the tech asked if we wanted to find out the sex, and we said yeah, she put the camera back on my tummy and the baby turned over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW IT! I KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN! lol!
She said that it "might" be a boy. We saw something really little. But her exact words were, "it looks like there's too much to be a girl, but not enough to be a boy."
I'm sure that it's a boy. Just from instinct alone, not just the US. So does everyone else...except my bf, he wanted a girl. But it's not a big deal. My entire family is loaded with girls, anyway. We need some testosterone! And my Opi wants all grandson....even if it's a great grandson! He got a giddy when I told him it's probably a boy! lol!
But yeah, everything is good and healthy and perfect!!!!!!!!! YEY!

 

congrats!

 

with skylie, i really wanted to know, i knew deep down she was a girl anyway. but for the next one, mark and i are planning to wait till the birth.

 

My partner and I are waiting to find out. Funny thing is, we get ridiculed by younger people by not finding out, but older people understand, as ultrasound is a relatively new thing.

I personally do not like the idea of bombarding a bub with sonar, and often wonder what effects it has on the baby.

 

I am having my ultrasound done this Friday. I can't wait!!! With my first child she had her legs crossed, so we didn't find out until she was born, but with this baby we want to know if it's a boy or girl. Good luck to ya!

 

good luck crazystarr!
don't know if you read my update or not, but my baby turned over the minute that we went to go and look, lol.
guess "he's" shy.....lol (i'm pretty sure it's a boy....and that's what the tech said, too).
hopefully you have some better fortune than we did, lol!

 

My mother had two miscarriages...and then she had indentical twins.

Maybe you're onto something.

I wanted to know. When the Doc said we were having a boy I felt like I had the strongest sperm in the world LOL.

 

lol. awesome. when dave found out i got pregnant on the first shot he walked around like he was Super Stud: Man of Great Sperm. he showed my pregnancy test to everyone (sigh) and still carries it in his truck. (he drew a happy face on it and everything.)

but anyway, yeah, i really liked knowing with my first, though i knew it was a girl from the get-go. this time i'm really confused. i don't know what it is. i wanna know so that i can start calling it by it's own name when i talk to it. i want to teach it's name to my baby girl (who's very sweet right now, holding the baby belly and all that.) i think it'll make it more realy for her if she can start calling her younger sibling by it's name.

 

well we wanted to know with our first but the baby didn't want to show... It wound up being a girl. Then with our second I didn't want to know but my hubby did so we found out and he displayed loud and proud that he was a boy. Now with our last we didn't find out until he was born (May 4th, 2005) that he was a boy. I guess we didn't really care either way because we already had one of each and this little one was an added bonus.

 

That's an excellant idea!
I was talking to my husband about finding out a baby's sex earlier today, even though I'm not yet pregnant and have to go through all the infertility tests etc...
Anyway, we'd like to find out the sex, then we'd be able to settle on a name and starting using it!

 

I like the envelope idea - very romantic! We just found out about our pregnancy and are still recovering from the (pleasant) surprise! Right now, I really want it to be a surprise. He thinks it's a good idea to find out so that we can prepare better. I think waiting until the baby comes would be more fun. Who knows? Maybe by the time we're ready for that ultrasound, we'll be bursting with curiosity! I guess we'll just have to wait and see! In the meantime, I'm bursting with curiosity over whether or not I'm gonna get the queasy-pukies. I almost did a little while ago, but it passed with some fresh air and Saltines. Then I ate a hot dog, and that made it all better!
