Anyone experienced gender disappointment?

Question

I fell like a fucked up mom. I wanted a girl so bad because I already have a son. But I will love my puddin no matter what.

Answer

I hate the judgment on here some times. You are entitled to feelings. I hate that since getting pregnant, I’m expected to basically be a saint because I’ve been bestowed the gift of life. 
I want a girl. I’ll be kinda sad if it’s a boy. I shouldn’t have to lie about it. Of course I know I’ll get over it and love my child no matter what and I ultimately want a healthy baby, but denying me my feelings is really wrong.

Answer

I totally feel you! Pregnant with my first. I always ALWAYS saw myself with a boy first. Also my husband has a very small family and he is the last one to carry on the last name. So when we found out it was a girl very early on, we couldn’t help but feel down. We had put all this pressure on ourselves! We found out around 13 weeks, and now that we had time for it to process and picture life with her at 30 weeks, I cannot tell you how happy we both are that it is a baby girl!!! Seeing my husband soften up and talk about her literally makes me the happiest mama now. I think it’s natural to feel that way when you initially pictured your life differently, do not feel bad. I remember I did and now it’s passed and I could not be more ecstatic 😇 everything will work out how it’s supposed to! ♥️

Answer

19 weeks pregnant with my 4th boy, i feel ya 😏

Answer

Yep. I have 3 girls. When we found out the 3rd was a girl my husband and I were both a little upset. We got over it quickly. 
Pregnant with my 4th and last baby now, I’ll probably be upset if this one is a girl, but again, I’ll get over it haha.

Answer

Don’t feel bad it’s extremely common and has nothing to do with who you are as a parent and how much you will love the baby

Answer

My husband did. I honestly didnt care what gender. But its normal when you have expectations, youll love them no matter what

Answer

Its 100% normal and VERY common. Youll get over it.

Answer

This is part of why I don’t want to know. I think I’ll be more accepting when being handed a child.
