Are you suffering from gender disappointment?

Question

Answer

I just found out today that I'm having my second boy. I'm definitely feeling relieved as the idea of having a girl was really stressing me out. But now that I know it's not a girl, it does feel slightly less exciting and I feel really guilty admitting that. It's totally complicated bc I'm thrilled and happy and just so grateful to be pregnant at all with a healthy baby, but also wondering what if....

Answer

I said no because I wanted another girl this time, but I definitely did with my first. We really wanted a boy and did a gender reveal. We were both disappointed. Of course we have the absolute sweetest, funniest girl ever and I couldn’t see it any other way. Don’t feel bad if you are disappointed.

Answer

Husband and I suspected we were having a boy all along and it’s now been confirmed 💙

Answer

Complicated. I have 5 boys and been hoping for a girl since my 3rd. Love my boys but I really really want daughter. I'm 42 so this is probably my last chance. Waiting till birth to find out so . .we will see. We are all praying really hard that this is a girl. My boys want a baby sister. Daddy wants a little princess and I so desire to experience having a daughter. So as much as this baby will be loved no matter what, we will all be a little disappointed if it's not a girl.
