Please dont flame me.

I have a dd, and have my 20 weel scan next week. I have very strong Girl feelings and am starting to get anxious that I may well be carrying a boy.

I never had a preference with this or my last pregnancy but for some reason I have this niggle that this pregnancy is also a girl. I am worried that, for no justifiable reason, I will feel disappointed at my scan.

I dont know why....a boy would be equally as wonderful as a girl, and the only boy on my side since my father was born (and he only has a sister), and the only boy under 30 on DHs side. Maybe its because I have this strong feeling that findng out its wrong will make me think I dont know my own body.

I dont know....

I think part of me is scared at the unknown and whilst I wouldnt treat a boy any differently to dd, there may well be things I have to do differently to dd.....I dont know?!

Arg......

MrsMonkeyBear, your post made me a bit emotional! Damn these hormones!!

Weirdly I KNOW I am having a girl after a strong gut reaction it was a boy, and still mix up 'he/she' when talking with DH! That's after several scans. How weird!

Well it went ok - everything they did measure is ok but I have to go back for more next week.

It's a boy! I feel ok about it but I can tell DH is disappointed. Feel a bit deflated but I guess he'll come round.

Ooh at least you get another chance to see your baby again! Congratulations to you both!

That's true, I guess that's a good way to look at it.
