Feeling awful about discovering the babies gender

MegRoxy113

Yesterday at 16 weeks, we found out or di/do twins gender. They’re both girls.

We worked so hard to get pregnant, and I’m still so excited to meet them but I feel guilty for feeling disappointed that I’m not having a boy and a girl. Maybe it’s because I wanted that so badly that I felt if they were those genders our family would be complete. Then I start thinking that if I was having just one baby, it could have been a girl either way...would I be feeling the same way? Probably not.

I know this sounds selfish and ungrateful. I’m so fortunate to have had such an easy pregnancy (so far) and all the testing has come back negative and I’ve got two strong beating heartbeats going on inside of me. I know I’ll snap out of it, but has anyone experienced this before? Is it because I’m having twins that I thought I’d be happier otherwise? Would love others thoughts on this and if you’ve felt/gone through something similar.
