First of, i do not want to be judged or made to feel bad for preferring one sex over the other. I am grateful for a healthy baby but I cant help wanting what i want.

Some of the second time mums might remember me from when i was having Maley but for those that dont....

In all my life, i never wanted a daughter....I dont know why, just didnt. Always saw myself having a boy and always wanted a boy.

My OH has two girls from a previous relationship (did have one boy but sadly, he is an angel) and even though he doesnt say it, i know how desperate he wants a boy.

When i found out i was having a girl with Maley, i cried for days and didnt feel excited anymore. Fortunately, by the end of my pregnancy, i got used to the idea and i wouldnt swap her now even for 4 boys!! She is my girl and i love her so much!

Only thing is now, im really scared how i will be at the scan if they say its another girl. I will be gutted. I dont plan on having anymore babies for at least 5 years (if i even do) and really want a boy. I know i will love my baby no matter what but i just dont want to feel awful about it and tbh i am dreading the scan in case im having another girl and i get really upset.

No-one really understands how much i want a boy...i cant explain it. I feel so bad.

To some degree I know what you mean. I always envisioned myself having 2 girls. Based on old wives tales and everyone telling me I must be having a girl I'd convinced myself I must be. I was so shocked when I found out it was a boy. I was a teeny bit disappointed at first, but now I'm really happy about it.

Fingers crossed for you getting a little man this time. When's your scan? Try and enjoy the not knowing until then rather than worrying if you're going to be disappointed xx

Its December 15.....worst thing is i actually think i am having a boy......me and other people think the baby looks like a boy in the scan pic.......so im feeling excited thinking it is a boy but wouldnt that make me even more disppointed if its not!! AAAArgh i hate feeling like this!!

Sort of. I have five boys already, and one girl..I was struck today with the thought of having two more boys, when my heart is really on atleast one girl..I found no excitement in the thought of two more boys..I love my boys, and I think I am meant to be a mom of boys, but I sure do want more girls...My scan is tomorrow..crossing fingers!

Yeah I saw your scan pic I can never tell though, they just look like babies to me xx

I really hope you get the little boy you want but if its not ment to be then just think about how happy the little girl you have already makes you and this baby will be no different no matter what gender it turns out to be. Like you said u will still be really dissappointed at first but then once that baby is here you wouldnt change it for the world. xx

i wont be disappointed but they told me girl and we have pink stuff lol so ill be a bit gutted

hun I know how you feel! my oh and I were desperate for a girl (although having a healthy baby is #1) you are totally right, you can't help wanting what you want! I kept telling myself over and over I was having a boy to try and get myself used to the idea! it did work, but then we found out we were having a girl and I felt soooooooo relieved! I just hope the sonographer was right!!! I so hope you get the boy you want!!

I have my fingers crossed for you!!!

You'll be fine whatever the outcome hun, i know how tough you had it with Maley and being convinced she was a boy, worst case scenario (i say that loosely) youve overcome it once you can sure as hell do it again, your a fighter
