How do I get excited about a boy Sneak Peek result when I was 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 at home and really wants a girl, I’d advise not to do it. The uncertainty has caused me so much stress and upset!

Answer

I literally had this exact same thing happen to me this week. My fiancé and i were positive it was a girl, since our very first ultrasound, instinct was girl. We named her, talked to her, talked about daddy’s little girl. And then, we found a penis at our ultrasound on Monday. I always said i didn’t care either way, but i just had intuition that it was a girl. But the utter shock when i found out, i won’t admit to anyone but i was really disappointed and sad. I had planned matching outfits with her, thinking of nail dates and wearing lipstick. That being said, i’ve slept on it for 5 days now and am completely content and very excited for my little boy now. it was only temporary thank goodness. that being said, i still want a little girl for my next.

Answer

Disappointment is very normal, but you need to come to reality and realize that there’s a very real chance it could be a boy! Our mother’s intuition isn’t always right. I’m having my third son, so I completely understand where you’re coming from about wanting a girl. My husband and I SWORE this baby would be a girl... I was so ridiculously sick for months this time after having no sickness with my first two sons so imagine the surprise when we saw a penis on the ultrasound scan 😂 Just try to get excited either way. Go buy gender neutral outfits until you know for sure. Also, these sneak peek tests can and have been wrong so don’t give up hope just yet.

Go shopping!!

Answer

Gender disappointment is a real thing kind of like postpartum depression, I'd definitely talk to your doc about referring you to a prenatal therapist. Itll all be okay I promise ❤

Answer

I did mine at home and got a girl result, but I decontaminated and no boys were around so my result was actually accurate. 
I would just start over and try not to be swayed in one direction. Just assume it could be either or, because it can. A lot of the wrong sneak peek results are false male results so it could be a girl. Don’t get your hopes up yet but also be ready in case it is a boy.

Answer

I’d recommend getting used to the idea that it may be a boy. I originally wanted a girl too but hyping up my family and myself helped reduce my frustration dramatically. If I find out it’s actually a girl now, I might be a little disappointed 😅
