Anxiety about gender

I still have about 3 weeks before finding out the gender of my munchkin, but I find myself with lots of anxiety over it.  I just want to know now!  The suspense can be a little much at times.  But I just try and remember that this pregnancy will probably fly and I will want these little moments.  But how do you deal with these kind of anxieties?

Just remember that even though it seems like a long time to wait, you'll have lots of time to pick out fun things for your baby! If I can't sleep at night that's what I think of - what he or she will look like and what outfit I want them to wear at Christmas and how cute they'll be in their first Halloween costume. Try that and in the meantime I hope it goes quickly for you!

There's an over the counter urine test you can take as early as 12 weeks. It's only 80% accurate though.

So is flipping a coin. If the urine test was accurate as stated doctor's offices would be supplying them.

There is nothing in your pee that will determine the gender of your child.

Before I knew we were having a boy, I did some research on cribs, car seats, etc. as that seemed to help my anxiety. Once you find the one you like, you can likely find the color/pattern that you like so it doesn't hurt to look now. Things like clothing and bedding can be sex-specific :)

Three weeks isn't too long, it'll be here before you know it!

I'm probably the most impatient person I know so I completely understand.  What I did was went ahead and created 2 seperate registries (one for boy and one for girl) just to figure out what colors I would do for a boy or what clothes I wanted for a girl.  Truth be told, a lot of the stuff was repeated on the 2 registries but it allowed me to take time out from being anxious about which sex it would be and it let me just imagine scenarios for both outcomes. Once we found out our LO is a girl I simply deleted the boy registry and tweaked the girl one to my liking. In retrospect it was a waste of time but I enjoyed wasting it on fantasies rather than sitting there guessing.

Well, for us, we're on kid #2, and I had more gender anxiety this time than I did with DD(#1 it turns out) because with #1, I thought it was a win-win either way.  With #2, if we had a girl (which we're indeed having), I knew it would be easier with some things (can re-use clothes and nearly every item) but harder with others (no sons, no grandsons for my dad; picking a name much, much harder in our case).  To deal with it, I just thought of the "if it's a ___, I'll get to ___" instead.  (Boy--buy  new things, scope out re-sales for boy clothes, etc.; girl: start stalking name boards, get girl clothes back from my sis (niece has them now); sort & figure out if we need any additional items.)  So for me, since I'm a do-er, thinking about what "to-do"'s will follow gave me something to focus on instead of just thinking about the wait to find out.

Why don't you go to an elective Ultrasound place now? You're already 16 weeks.

Save your money on the intelligender thing and go buy yourself a cute cardigan instead, can be worn now and after :) Really it is like throwing money away, might as well have something nice instead. Hopefully three weeks will fly by!

I did this too and mine was accurate both times, though its not scientific at all. Theres silver glitter in it. Go buy a gender neutral outfit for the 36$ youre going to spend.

I found it easy to just pick things I liked and once I found out what I was having just edit from there.

Newbie here.I'm team green, so this may be why, but I SO don't get the "anxiety over the gender" deal. Is it purely for planning your registry and nursery? Those are both easily tweaked, with plenty of time to plan for boy or girl. I have 2 weeks until my 20 week anatomy scan, and you know what I'm anxious about? Making sure the baby is healthy. I think if you step back and look at the bigger picture, being anxious over the gender is a little silly, IMO.

I find it utterly hilarious that you're being snarky about math while actually claiming this test has an 80% accuracy rate.  There is nothing in urine that can determine the sex of your baby is.  (Science is hard!)

I hate to tell you, but it's not 80% accurate, it's 50%. It doesn't matter what the package says. The CNN article states that the company won't tell how it works. Which means no one can back up their 80% accuracy claim. It's all marketing crap.

Common sense is hard!

I just tried to stay busy at work and around the house to pass the time. I am so impatient so it was a very long wait. When the day of our appointment finally came, I was so excited, and was really hoping the baby would cooperate. We found out when we arrived at the office that the ultrasound tech wasn't scheduled on the day we were there and that we would have to return tomorrow. Whaaaat?? Tomorrow?? Not...today?? On top of that, we were sent for more blood work because the last round missed something. So I ended the day without knowing, another 24 hours of waiting, and another hole in my arm. Things could have been much worse I know...and when we did find out the next day we had a healthy girl in there, we were so very happy and it was well worth the wait. 

I have no idea how people wait until the baby is born...far more patient than myself! Good luck!!

They do have those elective ultrasound places in some areas...the one near us can do it as early as 16 weeks but there's no guarantee they will be able to tell the gender and it's $100+. We didn't go that route but it may be an option for some people

I did it for fun with both pregnancies.  Both times it was wrong.  Boy prediction with DD and Girl prediction with future DS.  It's based on the Ph of your urine which changes based on your diet.

Newbie here.I'm team green, so this may be why, but I SO don't get the "anxiety over the gender" deal. Is it purely for planning your registry and nursery? Those are both easily tweaked, with plenty of time to plan for boy or girl. I have 2 weeks until my 20 week anatomy scan, and you know what I'm anxious about? Making sure the baby is healthy. I think if you step back and look at the bigger picture, being anxious over the gender is a little silly, IMO.

 

Yes  I totally agree. I don't get the hang up over finding out the sex.

I agree as well. Yes But I'm also team green, and was team green with DS. It's just as easy to find gender neutral things as gender specific, and IMO it was just as much fun.

Newbie here.I'm team green, so this may be why, but I SO don't get the "anxiety over the gender" deal. Is it purely for planning your registry and nursery? Those are both easily tweaked, with plenty of time to plan for boy or girl. I have 2 weeks until my 20 week anatomy scan, and you know what I'm anxious about? Making sure the baby is healthy. I think if you step back and look at the bigger picture, being anxious over the gender is a little silly, IMO.

 

Yes  I totally agree. I don't get the hang up over finding out the sex.

Yup! I can't wait for the surprise on delivery day.And as far as registering goes..clothing is WAY lower on my priority list. Friends of mine who have been team green loved the fact that they got more of the necessities and "equipment" they registered for...rather than a ton of clothes that will be grown out of anyway.  And being able to re-use so many things for any more children you may have because it's not "pink" or "blue" is a huge plus too.

But I get that some people just NEED to plan. I'm surprised I'm not...I'm typically very Type A.
