Have you ever had or known anyone who had severe gender disappointment?

How did you or they cope?

I had the most awful GD when I learned I was having a girl last time. It put a damper on the whole pregnancy and I didn’t even care about having a baby shower. It didn’t go away after she was born either. I love her of course but I couldn’t get over not getting the boy I wanted.

I coped as best I could by dressing her in a nice mixture of boys, girls, and unisex clothes. It helped not to have to dress her in pink frilly crap all the time.
