gender still questionable

I'm 25 weeks, I have a 5 year old little girl and a 4 year old stepdaughter, this pregnancy has been nothing at all like my first, at first I thought that was because it had to be a boy,  and of course my heart was set on a boy, I had an ultrasound at 20 weeks and she said she thinks its a girl, at first I felt so dissapointed and just wanted to cry, that passed and Im still excited as ever to meet my little one, I just feel like because she wasn't sure or sounded very suree that there still could be a chance that its a boy, doctor said slim chance that I would get another ultrasound,I don't want to be thrown off guard and have nothing ready for a boy, I'm not sure if its my hopes of having a boy getting the best of me or if maybe there is a chance. Anybody else going through something like this?

If u get the parent magazine,  or the baby magazine they normally have coupons and deals on where to go for the paid 3d/4d ultrasounds.

Yea going to a 3d/4d ultrasound place is your best bet. We paid $70 for a gender ultrasound, it can go up to $250 depending on package. I would see about spending the money to do so, that way you are not ready if he is a boy. Good luck!

I will be having my 3rd Boy on Feb :) @ first I was maybe just like you, but I was hoping for a girl plus my pregnancy was totally different, from morning sickness, baby doesn't move that much like my other 2 did, and my belly just looks different to me lol. My dad keeps telling me that he really thinks it's a girl this time and that ultrasound lady didn't checked right lol! I know it's a boy and sooo happy :) Boy or Girl it's still a blessing ♡ but I think the best thing to do on this case maybe to pay somewhere else and maybe ask for a 3D ultrasound :)
