secretly hoping pink but think I see blue please help!

[Ljj1987]

Hiya lovely people just wondering if any of you nub/skull theory experts could help me out I would be really grateful. I already have a beautiful boy and with this being my last pregnancy I would secretly love a little girl to complete our family. Obviously healthy is priority though but just need some guidance! Thank you in advance xxxxxx

Cor that was a read.
Ugh to the rude people at the beginning they always poke their ugly noses in and have a dig!!
I'm very happy for you, I've also got a little boy and would love a girl this time so I have one of each, so I know exactly what you meant, I find out in 10 days.x

Congrats op, another little boy how lovely! Wishing you a lovely and smooth remaining pregnancy, he'll be here before you know it.

Sorry just read update. Congrats. Glad you've had s chance to get your head around stuff xx

Thanks everyone sorry took me so long to reply I'm so forgetful! Yeah seemed I managed to annoy a load of people without even knowing it!!!x

Just read this thread. Congratulations Ljj. Don't worry about annoying people hun some people are just miserable and take offence to anything so just ignore. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly.

Littlewing I don't know how many times i have said that I am happy that the baby is healthy. I've seen so many posts on here similar to this and none have had a barrage of sarcastic nasty comments or being made to feel like I'm justva terrible person for showing the slightest desire for a little girl? I'm so happy thaat everything is fine and I've said from day one healthy is the most important thing in the world. I will love my child regardless. I have friends who have very unfortunately lost children and my heart breaks for them but my best friend who lost her child at 28 weeka due to him not having any kidneys or bladder and her words to me were "wouldn't it be nice if little man had a sister to annoy" I'm not insensitive I wish I had never said anything!!

I think it's terribly unfair for judging people who express a desire for either sex. No one on this thread has said they do not want a baby of one sex or another, no one has said that they are anything other than thrilled to be carrying a baby.
It is so unfortunate that people lose their babies (myself included) or that people can't conceive but it isn't fair to guilt people for discussing their own pregnancies.

Thing is like I have mentioned previously i was told I would never gave children and I cried for days. As if I wpuld be heartbroken I'm having another boy. Really because I had kind of expected it I had already started thinking of all the thingsbrothers do together and got really excited about it. Honestly this was a bit of fun more than anything!

Congratulations Ljj1987!

I have a 5yo DS, and I'll hopefully be finding out the sex of my baby at my scan on 23rd of June. I go through spells of "I hope it's a girl this time" to "I hope it's another boy" then "I don't mind either way" - depends on which way the wind blows that day! But like you say - as long as it's healthy that's the most important thing. It's only natural to wonder. Good luck x

Congratulations wannabe you will have to update us..preferably not after 6 weeks after the scan lol xx

Congratulations on another boy on his way Ljj1987! I am 8 weeks pregnant, sick as a dog, and have just yesterday seen the heartbeat for the first time on a scan. So thrilling.

Some people on this site need to climb out of their asses. Ljj you have been beyond charming in your response to some utterly ridiculous comments. Why is it that women who can get pregnant are supposed to obsess about every word they breathe about their pregnancy for fear of upsetting women who are struggling to, or can't, get pregnant? We all have parts of our lives that work, and other parts that really don't, but it seems pregnancy has to be so inflammatory.

You are perfectly entitled to prefer a 'pink or a blue' baby, and you are perfectly entitled to say so. You posted it on the pregnancy board for gods sake! If people don't want to read about how pregnant women are feeling then get off the board! Incidentally, if I end up with a healthy baby (and at nearly 40 lots can still go wrong for me), then I would mildly prefer another boy. How insensitive of me!!! And I also despise being pregnant, and count every day off, wishing it away. Also how insensitive!!!

However, my many friends who are struggling with many rounds of IVF bear absolutely no grudge against me for getting pregnant so easily, especially at my age. And they are totally sympathetic about my constant sickness, and have never once made me feel bad for complaining about how much I hate all this. They get on with their challenges, and I get on with mine - we all support each other.

Finally I know exactly what you mean about a flirting baby. My one year old is the ultimate flirt, especially with any stranger who he believes should be giving him more attention! There is absolutely nothing 'ewwww' about this at all, and shame on anyone who's mind goes somewhere weird with this. Watching my son flirt brings tears of joy to my eyes as I watch him become a sociable and friendly little man, who wants to be liked.

Ljj enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. I will now return to cradling the toilet bowl with my dry mouth and shrivelled lips, and continue wishing I was as far along as you and maybe feeling a little more human!

Doesn't appear that i responded! Although I'm sure I did! Sorry your fab in a bad time hottie. Will all be worth it in the end. Thank you for all the nice mesages I can't believe something so small turned out so big!! X

I think it's important to remember that expressing a preference for baby's sex doesn't mean you don't want the other!!!!
I had a preference for a girl for various reasons. It doesn't mean j didn't want a boy if that makes sense. I'm actually sad now that I'll never have a son as this is our last baby - if we ever had another I would probably have a slight preference for a boy as we have two girls.

Exactly I love my son to pieces he is my little world and for him to have a little brother to fight and play with us fab! Hubby says no more kids but give it a couple of years and we will see haha xx

sounds like youve got pretty fixed expectations of what girls and boys are like = a girl would be your best friend, and replicate yours and your mums friendship. a boy would be a brother for your little one to fight.

Ive got 2 boys and a girl, and yknow, theyre not actually particularly different.

what I say is mainly a joke if I'm honest....I know kids are all different and if im honest doesn't matter to me what their personality is as long as they are ok.

I wanted a girl second time and got a boy (and they do fight ). I love them both of course but I still want a girl.

Ahhh bet your boys are ace!! I dont know a pair of brothers that don't fight to be honest must be the alpha male thing. Although me and my sister fought alot too!!! As I said hubby says no more kids but we will see he said that last time haha xx

Congratulations on your boys

Thank you!!! I'm really happy xx

Thanks everyone for your comments mainly the nice ones though haha xx

Ive got two boys and they are maevellous, but the friends of mine that had girls second time around tell me they are just as good at duffing up their older brothers, most of them actually do a better job than DS2.

Haha! Funny guess siblings fight regardless then!!! Xx

Congratulations on your pregnancy Ljj1987

Just reading through all these posts and can't believe how utterly rude and bitchy some of these comments are. No matter what you post someone will make a belittling or sarcastic comment! Before we found out what we were having my partner said he would have loved a boy first. Does that make him a stupid or awful person?! I've been through miscarriages and a PCOS diagnosis all in one year yet don't get offended when people say they would like a boy or a girl. Doesn't mean their going to not love them any less either way.

Some people need to chill the f**k out or don't comment!
