New to mumsnet. 3rd pregnancy, large age gap, scan included x

[lizb30]

Hi, I'm currently 13weeks 2 days pregnant with my 3rd child. I have been with my husband for 14 years and we have a 11 year old son and a 10 year old daughter. This baby was a huge shock but a happy one (when the news sunk in!).

We had our dating scan last week, i was very suprised at how clear they are now compared to when I had my other children. We took them with us to make it real for them too.

We have our next scan in 8 weeks, but I will be booking a private scan for about 6 weeks so that the children can come with us to hear the gender first hand. My son has autism and although is coping well on the whole with the news he's quite anxious as to what it will be. Not that it'll make a difference, but atleast that way he can embrace the change entirely.

If I post my scan picture, could any of you lovely people please give me your opinions? I know it's 50/50.
Baby was 12w 5 days in this scan. Looking farward to being part of the community. x

Hey, I'm 13 weeks 3 days and it's my third child too :)
I'm really noticing the tiredness this time, must be my age! haha!!! By 3pm I could fall asleep at my desk.
I would like to include my eldest son (6) in the 20 week scan when we find out the gender too, I think it really helps the family prepare and make sure the other children are happy etc.
Your scan pic is so clear!!! Might be a girl because sometimes with little boys you can see a bit more going on in that area. Hard to tell though x

I'm going with Team Pink ... congrats :)
