You mean what sex is your baby, surely?

Gender is a social construct and your unborn baby can't possibly be expressing gender yet I wouldn't have thought

Let's not be deliberately obtuse now, you know fine what OP means.

I guess girl OP, congrats - hope the pregnancy is going well.

Oh for goodness sake, people are ridiculous. I'm glad I'm not such a smug miserable person that I feel the need to correct an excited pregnant woman on a nice, happy post about her baby.
God, you people must be fun at parties.

Anyway, on a lighter note...
Congrats on your pregnancy opThanks
I'm not an expert but I reckon...girl Smile

(Really not difficult to just answer like a normal person)

Sorry, who’s not smug?

Well I wondered how many posts till the old 'I have no idea what you mean, don't you mean sex' post came out and I didn't have long to wait! Grin

FamilyOfAliens · 28/06/2019 07:14

Yes, these annoying posters who support the rights of women and girls to define their own sex without having to include boys and men in that definition are so tiresome, aren’t they?

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 28/06/2019 07:54

Sex, OP, sex. And as per pre ious posters the language we use is very important. The use of gender is eroding women's rights. God forbid we use the correct language to define biological fact.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

LilliesMummyx · 28/06/2019 08:52

Thanks for the positive comments. I will be sure to update when I find out the gender!

The post was aimed to upset anyone or offend anyone. But I think it's pretty sad I see it a lot on here that negative people can't help but rain on someone's parade!
I was raised that if I had nothing nice to say to say nothing at all! Maybe others need to take that advice also 😊 I'm not bothered what my baby is, boy or girl. As the title says It was just for a-bit it fun!

Hi @LilliesMummyx, congratulations on your pregnancy!! I'm guessing girl (but I'm rubbish at this!)

I agree with the point made above but it could have been made in a better way! We have to update our language in today's diverse society, so it would be sex, not gender - but either way, wishing you all the best and a healthy pregnancy Flowers x

ohdearymemumof3 · 28/06/2019 09:04

I think girl too💗 what do you think about mine? I find out next sunday x

Just for fun! Gender Guess x
Adelais · 28/06/2019 09:16

LilliesMummyx · 28/06/2019 09:39

Wow your scan is so clear! I'd say a girl for you too! How exciting not long to wait for you! I find out in 3 weeks! I'm on annual leave for the next 2 weeks from work which I know is gonna make the days feel like weeks haha! Congrats on your pregnancy! Hope everything goes well for you and your baby xxx

@LilliesMummyx i also think girl for me💗😍 cant wait to find out!!.. awhh really🙈 just try keep yourself occupied so you dont think about it constantly hahaa i hope it goes quick for you 😘.. thankyouuu i hope everything goes well for you and your baby too 😘👶🏻x

LilliesMummyx · 28/06/2019 10:27

It's ridiculous. It's a gender scan to determine if your baby is a girl or boy.
If all you've got to be concerned about is how I word a post on a what's supposed to be support network is absolutely ridiculous to me and you really need to fill your time with something more constructive. My lack of knowledge isn't due to ignorance, it's a lack of being concerned with it. I couldn't care less what u are, male female, straight, gay, big, little, tall, short and so on, if your polite and kind I will be exactly the same back. A gender doesn't determine a person does it. It determines the genital area. Please move on and take your unwanted and unneeded opinion with you 😊

Please update me when you find out! I've got a few things to do to keep me occupied so hopefully it will help! The last 5/6 weeks have flown but I've been working 40 hour weeks and have a 3 year old to contend with so my hands have been full. I'm going to take some well needed time to rest and catch up with things! Fingers crossed it fly's! It's a constant countdown in pregnancy isn't it! First 12 week scan next gender scan, next when baby arrives haha we are just constantly waiting! All worth it in the end though! Xxx

As soon as I saw your thread title I knew the pitchforks would be out opWink
Ignore them, maybe they will go away Grin

And yes pp, on a simple question about a scan these comments are tiresome. I'm so glad you realise that 😏

I had the same comments on my post which realy put me off from asking again tbh.
We all know what you meant and tbh most sites and literature still use the terms gender and sex interchangeable so maybe these folks need to go and get that all changed first before attacking hormonal mother to bes Grin

I could go on but I'll stop here. Sorry to hikack your post OP but I don't get why people think they are being soooo woke by pointing it out.

starflake · 28/06/2019 11:25

Plus every ultrasound clinic calls it a "gender scan". If professionals use it why can't the OP use it without an earful! All the snowflakes here should pick up the phone & ring every clinic & give them a what's what for using the term so that expectant mothers still use the term. Even bloody hospitals use it FFS.
Congrats OP, I think the gender is Girl also
