All you guys finding out gender is making me want to cry....

Sarah • I have two beautiful children a boy and a girl. TTC baby #3

I'm 13w4d and I want to find out the gender. I almost want to cry because I don't know yet. (I wasn't this sensitive with my son, all I want to do is cry and panic this pregnancy) seeing all your posts about the gender is exciting but I want to know my baby gender and if s/he is growing properly.

Anyone else feel this way? Any ways to deal with it? Or just suck it up?

I find out on the 25th (unless dr will do ultrasound on the 22nd at my obgyn ap)

Idk just want to vent blah blah blah

I've had 1 sonogram and won't get another one until August 19th. I'll be 21 weeks. 😔. But I'm just being patient.

I know it's hard to wait. But think of it this way..... Some of us who have found out earlier because of more sonograms isn't always a good thing. I personally have more sonos than the average pregnancy n not because I want them but because I'm high risk and have had complications in other pregnancies. Trust me I get the wanting to know. I'm a very impatient person at times. But sometimes I wish I was the one waiting to know because things are going smoothly not because I have to worry about this or that.

I've already had 6 ultrasounds and I'm only 12 weeks. Still don't know the gender, but wish I was having a smoother pregnancy

I understand as well. I want to know so bad!! The blood test would have been $400 out of pocket for us, and our doctor will only do the anatomy scan at 20 weeks (no other ultrasounds unless medically necessary). It's hard seeing everyone post all of these ultrasound photos like it's common, but I try to stay postive! I will see my little bubba someday :)

I would have done it for $100, but $400 was a bit much for me. I have a sex determination ultrasound scheduled for 8/6 though, so I will find out soon enough. It's through a 3rd party place though.

I'm waiting til birth to find out. I'm close to my BIG sono so all the people finding out make it a little harder. I will stick to my original plan.

Some of us only know early because we wanted to make sure the baby was healthy with a harmony/panorama test. I got the test to know she was ok more than to know her gender. Hang in there!

I know how you feel. The anxiety is unreal surrounding all aspects of being pregnant. 12/1 with #2. We are going for a gender reveal at an ultrasound specialist on 8/7. Maybe you can find one close to you. Must start at 15 weeks.

I'm 13/3 today and I want to know, too! It's driving me nuts. This is my first so I don't have anything to relate it to- but I'm super sensitive and emotional about everything, too! I thought about doing the blood test but my doctor said I wasn't over 35 so there was no reason to. And I don't have my gender scan until 18wk! I have an appt on the 23rd to hear the heartbeat- just no ultrasound. 😔
