Finding out sex and being upset ???

Question

I know it sounds awful, terrible... and I already feel like the worst person in the world. But I had a scan today and found out I'm having the opposite of what I wanted and believed I have... and I feel so sad that its not what I wanted. Cant even begin to describe ive been crying today a few times. Just cause in my head I was preparing for something else. I think finding out at 20 weeks is just too late because your mind already started playing tricks and made imagine things... where as telling you at 13-14 weeks when it's still fresh and you're super excited about just being pregnant that it doesnt matter the sex you're just so happy you're having a baby... I feel like a shitty person, really... was wondering if any other women felt the same when found out? 
And I know I'm gonna love my baby more than life and I'm gonna do everything to make my baby happy but.. it's just now.. maybe just needs to sink in more... 😢😢😢 sorry if I've upset anyone. I've tried to conceive for quite a while so feeling even more like an ungrateful human being. Please forgive me.

Answer

it happens don't feel bad that your disappointed your heart was set and it happens, once the baby is here you'll feel super happy.

Answer

I've been there. when I found out I was having a boy, I was so upset. I cried for days, totally not what I wanted. I got over it pretty quick though. got my girl my second go. now that we've decided to try for number 3, I don't really care.

Answer

Don’t feel guilty at all! Obviously you are going to love bub more than anything no matter what. I was the same and I had a very specific name I picked out and was in complete love with and then I ended up having the opposite and I was so upset that I couldn’t use that name. I think it’s normal to feel that way so don’t worry at all!

Answer

I was the same way. I didnt cry but definitely sulked about it for awhile. I just always saw myself with a little boy and was convinced thats what I would have. It took a minute to get over it, totally normal.

Answer

My twin pregnancy was completely different than my other 2 pregnancies, so I thought for sure at least one of them would be a girl #allboymom, but nope they’re both boys. I love them but I was bummed when I found out. This time I’m not finding out until they get here. 🤪

Answer

Gender disappointment Is real and some people won’t understand it. I know you will love this baby no matter what. Just start prepping for your baby and when he/she comes, you will forget feeling disappointed.  Prepping and training your mind will make things better!

Answer

My husband and I are expecting our second and last baby in March. From the beginning of this pregnancy it has been completely different from my first (girl) so we both 100% thought it was going to be a boy. Well surprise... another little girl. My first reaction was no way, and kind of shocked. I looked at my husband’s face and he was shocked. We had been searching boy names and never really thought this pregnancy could be a girl. After the initial shock factor (maybe a minute tops) we were just as happy as we were with our first daughter. Give yourself time. It might not happen as quick as it did for my husband and I, but everyone is different and allowed to feel however they need too. I personally think the longer you make yourself feel guilty about feeling upset or what not the longer you will feel that way. Once that passes you will truly be able to celebrate and dream about your little one.
