I wished these nasty people who told you that would realise there are ladies out there who cant even had children, or who have tried for years without success...i thought it would never happen for me after 5 yrs of trying..... these people are just plain ignorant... Congrats on your beautiful baby boy ...xxx

Hi i had this when i had my 2nd son. I didnt find out the sex till he was born but people kept asking me 'so are you going to try for a girl?' like i had won the booby prize by having 2 boys. My boys are really close, share clothes and like the same acitivites, tv programmes and toys etc so it makes things really easy. The ironic thing is now im expecting an unplanned number 3 and its a girl! I would have been over the moon with another boy and it would have made things really easy but the reaction i got when i told people it was a girl was bizarre! Everyone was mega super excited and running out to buy me pink things (i don't even like pink!) and im a bit apprehensive about what to do with a girl as im used to boys! A friend of mine has 4 boys already and is preggers again (much to the dismay of her husband!) as she is so desperate for a girl. I think as ive never had the 'i must have daughter' thing then i don't really understand it. When your son arrived everyone will love him just the same as your first.

I got some coments aswell, it does upset one! because we are just happy to be having a baby and then someone comes with there stupid insensitive coment and it dampens the whole feeling...

My Step mother in law comented when I told her its a boy - she said "agh I was really hoping its a little girl" then I just told her "well luckely God knows best"
And my father in law said when I told him "boys are very naughty" but in a way like we should have rather had a girl
and one friend of mine asked "well how do you feel about having a boy"

I love my boy so much already! I dont want him hearing that other people are disapointed because his a boy!

I think two boys are great! CONGRATS!!

I have a stepson living with us and then this little boy so also two boys and my stepson is so happy to be having a brother!

That would have made me so mad!! I got a few comments as well but nothing like yours...more just people expecting me to be a bit disappointed when I really didn't mind what we had at all! We're so excited to be having another little boy too, and boys leaving when they get older is a load of crap - I know so many men who are just as close to their mums as I am to mine

Ignore them all... I'm sure Kian will love having a little brother to grow up with x

I think it's because when we were expecting Kian he was the first grandchild and although the inlaws was hoping girl they were so excited of the thought of having a grandson...then they had a grandaughter by the other son and its like when we told them we were expecting another boy we were hoping for the same response as with kian...hugs and congrats but infact it was silent for a few seconds and it made me feel horrible and sad....sad for this little baby boy growing in my belly..he shud have the exact same response, so what, we cant buy pink cute dresses,, but we can still buy cute little shirts and cool little jeans!!! Well at the end of the day... me, OH and kian are over the moon so who ever has a problem can go and DO ONE

*takes breath*

People are so very insensitive to pregnant ladies, & think they have a right to be opinionated & that we should accept it which is bloody bollox.
I wanted a girl with my 1st but i just knew he was a boy so when they told me at the gender scan " boy " i wasn't disappointed at all & was happy as i could then start calling him " joshua " , I'm due for my gender scan this time round in 3 1/2 wks & so far i've had nothing but " oh wouldn't it be lovely for you to get a girl " ang on it's still lovely to get a boy too. I've had endless people wishing/hoping i have a girl, making me feel the same that if i say boy they'll be disappointed. Not one person has said anything nice about if i had 2 boys & sometimes i kinda wish they say boy just so i can say " ner ner " to them.
Don't get me wrong i really want a girl not because of the 1 of each thing, but i want a girl but if they say boy then i'll have 2 mummies boys to love me

I've been laughed at--to my face---when I've told people this is a girl--my 4th! They just laugh and laugh like it's the biggest joke in the world. I don't understand that--especially if they think I'm devastated to be carrying another girl. What effect do they think their laughter will have on my pain? Makes no sense. Or they say "your poor son" and "your husband is so outnumbered."

I had hoped for a boy but I'm glad I'm having a girl. It's my child and I'm going to love her no matter what. My family IS complete--even if it doesn't add up to societal expectations. I had a boy then a girl and people thought I was crazy for having more because I already had the "perfect family". The perfect family is what you are given--and you can't control what gender you get--unless you adopt.
