I’m struggling with gender disappointment BIG TIME 😔 Update and new questions...
To everybody that read my post yesterday, thank you for all of your kind words and support!
As some of you suggested, we did go and buy a few boy bits yesterday after finding out the gender but it just highlighted how disconnected I am to boy things. I couldn’t find anything I liked and I found myself heading over to the girl clothes, wishing I could be there.
I’ve started looking at names and hate them all. I can’t find a single name that I like, when I had so many for a girl.
I’m ashamed to say that I’ve woken up this morning feeling just as disappointed as before. I’m terrified that I can’t connect to this baby and I’m not feeling the love towards him that I know I would be feeling if he was a girl. I feel like I should still be happy because he’s healthy but I’m just not 😔 I’m writing this post crying because I feel dreadful for wishing this baby away and wanting something different. 😭
What makes me feel worse is that almost all of our family wanted a girl, so I’m carrying the upset that I couldn’t give them what they wanted, too.
How long did this disappointment last for you lovely ladies?
