Am I the only one ?? Am I a bad mom ?

Question

Hello guys I want to start by saying that I feel fully blessed to be pregnant with my second child ... however ... idk how to say this without sounding like a horrible parent because I love my children no matter whTat... but I recently found out I am having a boy . My oldest is a girl. It’s not that I am sad but I feel kinda scared .. as if Idk how to be a boy mom ... my daughter is super girly, and I love it . I can’t help to be scared that I may not be a good boy mom because I am to girly?? Idk if that makes sense . I guess I’m
Just scared because mentally I was so ready for another girl . 
Please don’t be rude , I love my child . No matter what . I just wanted to reach out to other moms to see if they ever felt this way .

Answer

I'm the opposite - not sure what I'll do if my 2nd is a girl! Have no idea what to do with a girl. I have a son and nephews. My advice for a boy is to just embrace the chaos :) I've heard baby girls are much more civilized lol.

Answer

I sobbed uncontrollably on the floor when I found out I was having a boy the first time. I’m very girly and had this whole dream of all the girly things I would do with her. I was like WTH do I do with a boy?!?!? Now I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I mean I’m kind of hoping for a girl this time but I’d be content with another boy for sure. Don’t be ashamed, I think it’s totally normal to feel that way. But trust me they are so much fun!!

Answer

You have no idea who your children will be until they turn into who they are 🤷🏼‍♀️ your new son might like feminine things, he may like traditionally masculine things too. Even the girl you already have could have been into traditionally masculine things. So it’s not something to stress over. Whatever your child’s personality, you’re the mother, they will love you, and as long as you love them back fully, you’ll do a good job. Only difference in parenting a male and female child is you wipe them differently in my opinion. I have one boy and two girls so far.

Answer

I'm sure alot of women feel this way. Do not feel like a bad mom. I have a girl and I am terrified of the fact that this could be a boy. 
Also concerned that I wont love my next baby the way i love my girl. I'm sure it's all in my head and that feeling will go away once I have the baby, but it's still scary.

Answer

You’re gonna be great! My boy is 17 months old, and I remember when I was pregnant feeling so lucky to be having him, but nervous that I would be too girly for him. And then he was born, and I was in love with him and his boyness  and he loved me for me. It’ll be the same for you... you’ll still love your girl and your boy and they’ll love you because you’re their mama!

Answer

I know the feeling that’s how it was with my first. I didn’t know what I was gonna do with a boy! And my son is ALL BOY! rough as all outdoors. I just go with the flow and I’m praying I get my girl this time

Answer

You're not the only one. I have a 5 year old daughter and pregnant with my second. I'm terrified of having a boy. I'll be happy either way but for some reason, I can't explain it but I would prefer to have another girl.

Answer

I have a boy and I have a girl! Boys are fun honestly. They are not hard at all. I wouldn’t be scared. You will learn as you go. You will do great!

Answer

It’s totally normal to feel that way. I’m on my 4th and regardless of the sex, I always have anxiety over how I will be able to accept and love another child as much as the ones I already have. I cry every time I leave for the hospital because I feel guilty knowing my youngest will no longer be the youngest and that my children will be forced to adjust to a new way of life with a new sibling. I wouldn’t worry too much, boys tend to figure out “boy” stuff pretty naturally. My oldest is a boy surrounded by girls and he’s all about football, Minecraft, and LEGOs! Lol And it’s no lie that there is a mysterious bond that happens between a mama and her son. No matter the gender, each child will find their place in your family and fit perfectly. You may even mother each child differently, and that’s ok, because each child is different and has different needs, whether boy or girl. Even if you had a second girl, should would be completely different from your first.

Answer

I’m the opposite I have a boy and if I have a girl I’m worried. Boys are great and just full of crazy energy. My son is one and loves to play in the dirt and well anything outside.
