Early pregnancy scan suggesting a girl, any positive experiences?

[Tayloravax]

Recently had an early glimpse and got 95 percent chance of a girl praying she is a girl any positive story’s ?

It is what it is.

95% is pretty certain, but it really shouldn’t matter (barring any congenital illnesses that are passed on to a specific sex).

Of course health is all that matters but not had a girl in 6 generations so just in shock if it is

Aren’t you female?

Yes but dads genes normally influence the gender and it’s all boys there side for the past 6 generations problem ?

Well 49-50% of the world population is female surely you can see many positive experiences?

My OB said girls can be boys because tiny penises can hide, whereas it's a lot less likely boys will be girls because that's a non existent penis emerging!

Whilst the sperm dictates the sex, there is evidence that eggs won’t just accept any sperm and may have preferences.

You’ll find out for sure soon enough. It really doesn’t matter at this point (and shouldn’t at any point, really).

Just curious, would it still be a ‘positive story’ if you were having a boy?

Positive experience using early glimpse not the pregnancy it self !

Positive experiences of having a girl? Having a healthy pregnancy? Children come in two sexes. Unless of course you are itching to imprint sexist stereotypes on your children your experience having one girl could be different to another. Same with boys. I get the impression from the title that you are a person who views little girls as pretty, girly and can't wait to put those horrible headbands on her. I hope I am completely wrong.

As I stated in a previous comment positive experience using glimpses

🤣

Not that I have to explain or defend myself, but I was simply asking for positive stories from people who have used Early Glimpse. I’m allowed to feel excited about finding out the gender of my child. Of course, all that truly matters is that the baby is healthy, and thankfully they are.

I’d just like to start planning ahead a little. I already have a little boy who I absolutely adore, so gender genuinely doesn’t matter to me. I’m mainly excited for my other half’s side of the family because if it is a girl, there hasn’t been one for six generations, and only a few on my side too. So hearing they said 95% girl was a lovely surprise.

I came here looking for positive stories and experiences with nub/glimpse predictions, not to be judged or criticised.

You don't really have to plan ahead. Raising a baby girl will be the same as with a baby boy. Except remember to always wipe front to back to avoid an infection. The difference comes with potty training. Girls tend to start a bit earlier on average and finish quicker but this is very general.

Please 🙏 give her access to trains, cars, building blocks and don't buy everything pink. Dress her in clothes she can be active in. Dresses aren't good for rolling, crawling and first steps. Discourage family and friends from treating her like a doll and boxing her into stereotypes and please 🙏 don't put those awful plastic headbands on her. They look so uncomfortable.

I came here for advice, not shame or judgment. By “plan ahead” I meant things like buying clothes and getting excited for the possibility of shopping in the girls’ section, as I already have a son. I’m allowed to feel excited about that because this is my child.

Also, children can play with whatever toys they enjoy. My son loves My Little Pony, baby dolls, and lots of different things. We raise our children with love and let them be themselves.

All this negativity over asking about an early glimpse result from people who don’t know me is unnecessary. There is nothing wrong with being excited at the thought of having one of each, or imagining different clothes and experiences. And when my child is old enough to choose what they like, that choice will always be theirs.

I asked for advice, not assumptions

what is "glimps"?
nub theory is fun bs.
you will find out eventually much more definitive photo's and blood test results as time moves on.
what advice do you want? eat healthy be healthy would be my advice.

It’s a website where you send your scan for a gender prediction, and I was simply asking for other people’s experiences whether it was right or wrong for them and any advice on using sites like this.

I’m just looking for genuine personal experiences. Unfortunately, the replies have gone off topic and turned into unsolicited opinions, so I don’t see the point in going back and forth anymore when it’s not actually answering what I asked.

In fairness, your OP didn’t say that and it took 3 replies from you before you clarified.

Your OP was really not clear in what you were asking

OP firstly your post suggests that you need specific advice for having a girl.

Your response about imagining different clothes and experiences reinforces my initial thoughts that you have different expectations for a girl than a boy.
As for letting them choose when they're older, the clothes and experiences you give them will effect their choices.

Raising a prepubescent child shouldn't come with different experiences or in the main different clothes. A baby is a baby. Not a shopping experience.

I am responding to your words. The only advice I can give you is don't let anyone limit your daughter. Being the first in the family as you've said will bring a tsunami of gendered experiences from them. Even if you don't do it others will try. I have a daughter and DH and I stood firm. No patronising our daughter and you have to teach them from the moment they know she's a girl. Don't wait until she can make choices. She will have already taken in too much stereotyping.

You won't get shopping ideas from me. Just the experience of a mum wanting her daughter to have the same wide experiences given automatically to boys.

Too early to tell. Personally think with your partners history I would suspect a boy as more likely.

Ok finally you made clear what you actually wanted. I don't think these scans are very accurate. I think its probably easier to see if it's a boy.

I just waited because as there are no conditions affecting one or other sex in our families we were happy to find out at the birth.

SIL was told she was having a girl and it turned out to be a boy.

Agree 100%.

A family friend had 5 boys before finally getting the girl she dreamed of. She imagined pink everything and blonde curly hair and dressing her up like a dolly.

She wanted none of it, was never more than 2 foot away from a muddy puddle and is now a professional rugby player!

Wow you’re getting some stick! It’s perfectly normal to have a gender preference. My sonographer at 8 weeks said she could tell it was a girl, I had a NIPT that confirmed and a gender scan today which also confirmed girl x
