Gender Disappointment


i feel really bad for writing this. I found out last week i am having another boy and i am gutted to say the least. despite the fact that i have suffered 7 miscarriages after the birth of my son, i still feel really low that i am now successfully 21 weeks pregnant but with another boy. i am panicking about the future - will i reject him? i know i sound really evil and selfish. i just wanted a fairy princess.
has anyone else ever felt like this?

I think deep down everyone has a slight preference, even if they dont admit it, but the important thing is that the baby is healthy, regardless of the sex xxxxx

I understand a little how u feel.

people kept telling me its was going to be a girl..and i got it in my head and had it all planned out.
then told it was a little man..thought i was going to cry so i just hurried with the rest of scan.

But i think alot of people don't admit how they feel.
It's not selfish you just take a while to get round the idea.

cos now i'm ecstatic about my little man and glad am not having a girl.

I'm sure it'll be fine hun xx

because my pg wasn't planned and although OH is happy, I would like a boy just because I feel he will bond with it more, and reslise that my decision to go ahead with the pg was a good thing!!!!! I don't know whether this is the right way to feel and I know if i try to chat to him about it he will always say I don't mind either way, but as you say deep down every one has a preference.

Does anyone else feel like this about OH?

With my 1st I tought it was a girl and when I was told boy I cried,feel so silly now coz I love him so much. This time I thought a boy and was right although deep down wanted a girl,but I will love him just as much as a girl.

I was hoping for a boy my last 2 times but I've been elated with my girls from the first moment i saw them. I dealt with my disappointment before they got here and I woudn't trade them for anything. It's good that you are being honest with yourself.

I have 2 nieces who are my world so have always wanted a little girl & hated the thought of having a boy then I found out I was pregnant & I just have this feeling that we're having a boy ( a feeling & also bcus DH is one of 6 boys so to me inevitable that it will be a boy) & I'm so excited about it which I'm shocked about so now I really dont mind whether we have a girl or a boy as long as they are happy & healthy we dont care x

I totally understand everyones feelings of disappointment though I was just lucky that I had made peace with it now rather that being disappointed when he pops out in 6 months x

You'll love your baby no matter what huni so try not to worry x x x
