Having a girl... again

I work in a laboratory and we are developing a simple blood test that can be taken as early as 10 weeks and you'll have results back within a few hours to tell you what the sex of you baby will be. It's really awesome, but not official yet.  However, the results are 100% accurate thus far.

I'm 16 weeks and just took the test which said I'm having a girl. I'm excited but this will be my third girl, and last child. Everyone else, including my best friend, is super bummed, so now I don't want to tell anyone else. Not to mention, my husband is the last male to carryon the family name, so his family is really disappointed. Anyone else dealing with this and have advise?

I took a panorama blood test at 12 weeks and recently got results that we are having a girl. We already have 2 boys and are super blessed by having a girl, but to be honest for me the most important is for the baby to be halthy. Everyone talk about having a sertain sex but i worry about a healthy child. My firstborn is in perfect health but my second son was born with a very rare chromosomal abnormality. Having a healthy baby is the most precious gift from above. So either its a boy or girl your family should be thrilled. Hope ur pregnancy goes well and ur baby girl is healthy and beautiful!

I'm 33+3 with my 3rd son.. I was really happy to have another boy, but my friends and family were all disappointed. Every time I told someone the good news, they would get a sad look on their face and say "Oh, I'm so sorry". It started getting annoying.. Its gotten better now that time has passed.. A baby is a blessing.. Boy or girl.. Regardless of what gender these babies are.. What's most important is they're happy and healthy :)
