not getting the gender you wanted?

Question

I am soooooo beyond thrilled that I'm having this little guy but, I wanted a little girl so bad.  I feel like a terrible person for even thinking this stuff. I'm so sad about it and that makes me feel even worse! I know once I see him I'm going to be obsessed and wonder how I ever could've wanted any thing other than him. 
Anyone else feel this way?

Answer

I found out 3 weeks ago that im having a boy and its still hard.... doing the registry made it worse this week all the cute stuff is for girls!

Answer

I'm having my second boy. At first I was disappointed. Until I started shopping. I promise shopping helps! And picking a name. You'll get more excited everyday! Boys are tons of fun! Congrats girl 💙😊

Answer

Yes this is totally normal! I thought the entire time I was having a girl and wanted one sooooo bad-but NOPE! We are having a little boy. I got really sad when going into all the baby stores and having to look at boy clothes and not girls 😞 I think I've finally accepted it and I'm excited to meet our little man!

Answer

Don't feel bad Mama!

Gender disappointment is a real thing and there are lots of great articles about it, and how to work through it, which you will!

The most important thing is to really feel what you are feeling and talk to your partner about it or trusted confidante.

Answer

I wanted a boy, was convinced it was a boy.. I found out at 14 weeks im having a girl and now at 22 weeks I wouldn't want it any other way. It grows on you :) these thoughts will be long gone once u start picking out little clothes and doing the nursery

Answer

I about cried when I seen that little wee wee lol my fiancé said I ruined it for him. I felt terrible but I wanted a little girl so so bad. Your not alone

Answer

I'm the same. I think it's normal to prefer one gender tho so don't feels to bad. As much as I wanted a wee girl I'm delighted to have been blessed with a boy. Doesn't mean u will love him any less but I know where ur comin from. Xx

Answer

It's ok! I found out I'm having my third daughter this June, and my husband and I have been wanting a baby boy forever! But we just figured we have one more girl to dress up! Good luck!

Answer

I really wanted a boy before(first child was a boy & didn't make it)...but the joy i see in my husband's eyes because he knows he's gonna have a little girl melts my heart. So I'm extremely thankful for this  little girl I've been blessed with....men/boys dominate his side of the family  & his parents & siblings  are sooo excited to be having their first granddaughter & niece

Answer

I haven't found out the gender yet, but I thought I would be disappointed, but after going to multiple baby stores, there are lots of super cute things for boys as well and I think that is where allot of the novelty in girls is. Carter's, target, babies r us, and many more all had supper great things for boys 😘
