Scan tomorrow and super STRESSED!


I am so beyond sick and tired of everyone telling me i NEED a girl this time

No-one really seems to understand that i couldn't care less what sex my baby is and it has got to the point where i don't want to tell anyone. I feel like i'm going to be disappointing some people, i hate this pressure. I even suggested to my OH that we wait till the birth, but he is desperate to know.

My friend at work said i need to have a girl this time to complete my family, WTF? Even my MIL, when i said i think it will be another boy shot me down by saying oh no no no it's definitely going to be a little girly girl.

Why does everyone have to have an opinion and put it on me??

Rant over, that feels better

i would just tell them you couldnt find out the sex and keep it btween you and OH

It shouldnt matter to anyone what sex your baby is and they shouldnt be putting pressure on you to have a specific sex

Good luck with your scan and im sure you will have a lovely time seeing your beautifull baby regardless of the sex

I have similar. It's the first baby in the family for my generation and I have three brothers, hubby has two brothers - no sisters for either of us. So today at a family lunch, the mothers were debating how our baby HAS to be a girl because there hasn't been a girl for so long.

It made me feel like if we're having a boy it won't be loved as much...

ignore them, you will love your baby no matter what, I dont know why people seem to think they have a say in the gender, people said to me oh how nice you're having a girl they're better than boys when I hadn't long lost my son Hope your scan goes well xxx

I kinda know where your coming from, My sisters have 2 kids each My niece is 7 and the only girl the other 3 are boys and when i got bfp all i heard was "you better have a girl we need to even things out theres too many boys now" so when i found out it was a boy i got the "oh not another boy oh well" .....

however turned out my scan was wrong and it was a girl found out at 20 week scan! of course they were all over the moon i was just too busy being in shock lol! but its defo not good for these comments to be made its not like you can do anything about it??! so long as bubs is healthy what does it matter
