Baby names....

Becles

When I had my first baby, he was lying with his legs wide apart on the scan, so it was pretty obvious he was a boy!

When I had my second, he was all curled up fast asleep with his legs together on his scan, so I couldn't tell. I liked that way best as it was a nice surprise when he was born. I'm glad he was a boy as his brother would have been devastated if I'd brought him a sister home

Jellyhead - have i missed that you've found out what sex your new baby is?

Are you telling us or are you keeping it to yourselves?

oh yes, thought i'd pm'd you but my brain is full of cotton wool at the moment lol! i'm having a boy so my son is happy :-) i know some people prefer a surprise but my son wanted to know and also if i'm completely honest i need a bit of time to get used to it as i secretly really wanted a girl

I've been secretly hoping for a girl too. Haven't told anyone that, not even hubby as I feel rather guilty for developing a preference.. I should be just grateful I'm pregnant after 10 years of treatments.

But my friend brought her 9 month old baby boy round yesterday & he was so gorgeous & soft & lovable ( even when he did a big poo) that I decided I really didn't mind after all. I felt better then!

I was convinced my youngest would be a boy. I already had a son and had lost my first baby in pregnancy which was also a boy.

I convinced myself because the first 2 pregnancies had been boys. I know a lot of people with 3 boys, i barely knew anyone who had had 2 boys and a girl.

I was very surprised when my husband told me we had a girl (after coming round from a GA). It didn't matter i loved her to bits anyway.

Best of wishes to all those expecting.

hi sasha, yes i felt guilty for having a preference, especially as i think i would have disapproved if hubby had had a preference lol! i tried for 3 years, finally managed it after a small op and during those years of trying whenever i looked at baby clothes in shops or got broody it was always a baby girl i would think of having. i don't know why because my little boy is really lovely and i'm a tomboy, not girly at all (i don't even own a handbag or a pair of shoes that isn't black, apparently that's unusual)! maybe it's nature, making men want sons and women want daughters? some friends had a girl last year and they'd told everyone they desperately wanted a boy, i thought when their girl arrived it was quite sad that everyone knew they were disappointed, and i hope nobody tells her when she's older. so i tried to appear neutral when people asked me what i wanted when i first found out i was pregnant.

all our friends had baby girls last year so it was girls i was cooing over while trying for my baby, but 2 days after we found out the sex we had some people visiting with their baby boy and he was so cheeky and funny with a lovely velvety snuggly head - i make him sound like a rabbit lol!!

it will be great no matter what the sex of your baby is sasha, people sometimes say they wanted a particular sex but when the baby was born they felt a big rush of love and it didn't matter if it wasn't the preferred sex. i couldn't say as i found out the sex of mine beforehand. i have a female rabbit anyhow and she's very naughty, my boy bunnies are much more friendly lol!

spendless my mum has 2 girls then 2 boys and my grans both had 4 boys before having their girls, gran in law had 11 boys before a final girl but i agree it's not too common, i know loads of people who have just girls or just boys.

my son wanted levi for the baby i'm having but although it's biblical so probably not caribbean it didn't seem right.

Levi is a good old-fashioned Jewish name! Biblical too, of course, so not originally Caribbean, no ...

Our baby boy was born today and baby & mum are both doing fine. We think we have agreed on a name - I'll see if my wife has changed her mind when I get back to the hospital in the morning.
