Anyone else still feeling major gender disappointment?

Question

I’m pregnant with my 2nd boy and while I love him already, I can’t help being so sad still. Time isn’t helping, I’ve known he was a boy for months now. I wanted a girl so badly. I keep fantasizing about my next pregnancy and looking forward to that instead, one more chance for the daughter I’ve always wanted. 😭

Answer

Im pregnant with baby boy number 4. I was praying this would be girl. But nope. Last baby so I guess I'm just made to be a boy mom

Answer

Kinda same. I’m expecting my second boy as well. Some days I’m really excited about being a boy mom because I already know I love it so much.. but I was really hoping for a girl so I wouldn’t have to go through a third pregnancy. I’m worried with my luck I’ll have a third boy next time around 😂

Answer

It's funny, I feel your pain but I'm the opposite! I have a boy and was hoping for another boy. I really didn't want a girl if I'm being completely honest. I just love my little guy so much I can't imagine having a girl. Nonetheless I know I will love her just the same when she arrives, it's just hard to see that right now 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Yes, 4 boys already and #5 on the way in March. I have a set of 7 year old twins, they are the youngest but I am still in shock. I thought for sure this was my husband's and I first daughter after all boys. I haven't completely come to terms with it although I will love my baby regardless. I've learned to accept it. The comments and backlash I get from family members and others don't help at all. Just makes me feel a ton worse.

Answer

I can totally understand, I had 3 boys before finally becoming pregnant with my girl …

Answer

We are in the exact same situation. I wasn't as disappointed as I thought since I love my son so much and I know what to expect having another boy, but I do wish I could have a baby girl. I'm worried about trying again because I'm not sure I want 3 kids and I know I'd be sad if it was a girl if we decided again.

Answer

Yup!! I have always dreamed of being a girl mom and having two girls and being done. When we found out we are having a boy I really struggled, and do sometimes still. It’s such a real thing and it’s so hard.

Answer

At first I was a bit disappointed that I was having another boy especially because this baby is most likely our last. I grew up in a family of all girls though and all of my nieces are girls so after a bit of thinking I’m excited to see the relationship my boys will share and how they will bond since it’s something I’ve never experienced before ❤️. Gender disappointment is real and valid my only advice is to try and find a silver lining!
