Gender disappointment....

I've had my 20 week scan yesterday (Monday) and they said it was a girl I've honestly been so upset ever since. For context I already have 2 beautiful little girls and this was suppose to be last chance for a lil boyđŸ˜©. I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR A HEALTHY BABY AND PREGNANCY.

but the disappointment eating me up.... they said they couldn't scan the baby properly so they've rebooked me for following Monday I am sooooo hoping they've got it wrong due to not being able to see baby right because they wouldn't move much.

Am I bad for the gender disappointment? Has anyone else been like this?

Gender disappoint is such a real and valid thing, I was actually talking about it today with a mum. Don’t feel guilty for it as it really is a type of grief

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentĂœna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentĂœna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
