Gender disappointment is a thing.. but it doesn’t last!

I’ve seen so many posts in this group about gender disappointment and people having a go at others for sounding selfish about not be happy/grateful for being pregnant.

I really thought I had manifested a baby girl into my life. (I live the secret and have been reading it religiously while trying to get pregnant) my partner has two boys from previous relationship and I was utterly convinced we was having a girl. Even a spiritualist I saw told me I would have a girl!

So on our 13 weeks scan when they said it was certainly a boy I was gobsmacked! I was like - noooo that can’t be true!!

Safe to say the spiritualist was obviously shite 😂 22 weeks in and it’s still a lil boy! But I cannot explain to you how in love and overjoyed I am.

Don’t feel guilty for that initial disappointment. It is normal, it doesn’t mean your not grateful. After having a miscarriage a few months previous, I was over the moon to be pregnant again and was counting my blessings.

But there is still that part of you if you have your hopes up for a certain sex that your bound to be disappointed.

But please please believe me - IT DOESNT LAST!!

As soon as you see your baby clearly on them scans, hear their heartbeat, get told at your 20 week scan they are growing perfectly 🙏and start buying those beautiful lil boys clothes. Your overwhelmed with the amount of love you have already and just blessed he’s healthy!

I cannot wait for my boy to be here and he will be the most loved lil man 💙

It’s ok to feel the way you do, it doesn’t make you a bad person, and everything happens for a reason. Your sent that lil boy or girl because your meant to have them 💞

My beautiful rainbow boy this week 🌈💙
