How do you get excited about a boy when you’ve spent almost 3 months sure it was a girl? 😥

Question

So I had my Sneak Peek result back last night and it said BOY. 
Honestly since the day I found out I was pregnant- both me and husband just had a gut feeling it was a girl and we’ve been calling her ‘she’ all along and calling her a jokey girls name!
When I did the test and sent it off, I thought ‘well I hope it is a girl, but if it’s a boy, I’ll still be pleased!’.... but I was shocked to find I felt really sad when I saw my results 😢 I’ll clearly love my baby regardless and I’m chuffed to be pregnant, but I feel upset that I’m potentially not having the girl I was hoping for and had a gut feeling that I was having!
I know Sneak Peek can be easily contaminated with male DNA so I guess I’m hoping that’s the case, but I’m aware it might not be. I’ll have a private ultrasound at 16w to confirm....
I just don’t know what to do for now- do I start telling myself it’s a boy, get used to the idea and call them a ‘he’ now? Or do I wait until I can confirm with a scan? That’s 6 weeks away and just 😟 ugh. Any wise words for me, anyone? 
If anyone is going to do Sneak Peek and really wants a girl, I’d advise not to do it. The uncertainty has caused me so much stress and upset!

Answer

You will get over it with time. I was the same way with my son - truly so shocked he was a boy because I was so sure otherwise. He is my entire universe! Last year I had two miscarriages and it put into perspective to me that a healthy child is such an amazing thing. With time, you will feel better and I promise he will steal your heart. 💙💙

Answer

Sneak peek clinical is 99% accurate, however, if you did it at home it CAN be easily contaminated. I just want to say though that my son is one of the best thing to ever happen to me. He is bubbly, joyful, a mama’s boy, the light of my life. I found out I’m having another boy and now he gets a brother 😊 I know many mama’s feel this way about having a girl, but TRULY being a boy mama is SUCH a joy!!!

Answer

I do not think in home test can be always 100% accurate. If it is was taken in clinic than yes,probably. I guess, you just really have to wait and find out later . Do not get so disappointed.  It's your baby and you will love it no matter who it is. Remember most important is healthy baby .

Answer

My husband and I were convinced we were having a girl...I was even having dreams about it. And it was a boy...but as time went on, I just couldn’t imagine it not being a boy. It started to feel right and now I can’t even imagine having a girl..,I want a 2nd boy!! When reality sinks in, you’ll be fine and just as overjoyed. The only thing that’s important is having a healthy baby! ☺️

Answer

I thought I wanted a girl, and when I was told it was a boy I was indifferent. Now he is my WHOLE world and being a boy mom is so so fun!!

Answer

I want a girl also but I just keep telling myself all I want is a healthy baby

Answer

Happened to me too. I don’t understand why people do this test. Even if it’s 75% how can you trust the results. Every time I post my story I get snarky responses from sneak peek die hards. This is exactly why I share my story. I remember exactly how it felt.

Answer

I’ve been there mama. It’s normal to feel the gender blues... But raising little boys is the best! You will feel so silly when they are older and you remember how you feel now. There is nothing more special than a love between a boy and his mama! 💙

Answer

Ahh I feel the same . I was so sure I was having another girl ... that when I saw the blue results I was inshocked . And its like you said I love the baby but I can’t help the feeling of alittle disappointment when I’ve pictured two little
Girls my entire life .  I don’t feel as connected to my son right now and I can’t seem to shake the feeling :( and ofc I love him I also feel like a bad mom for feeling this way😞. 
Mine was genetic results so it’s 99.9 accurate.

Answer

Everyone keeps saying mines a boy and i just have a feeling it’s a girl 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I’ll find out in a little over a week. I’m getting the genetics test done.
