Gender disappointment

Rebecca

Please no judgement. Found out a few hours ago I'm having a second boy. This is my last pregnancy, I'm old and don't want to do IVF again. I am so crushed, I wanted a girl so bad. I'm mourning the loss of the future relationship with a daughter, helping her plan a wedding, having girls nights, supporting her through the birth of her baby, etc. I wanted to experience raising a boy and a girl. I have a great relationship with my mum and I know it's not the same with a grown man son, it's just not. I love my son and I'll love this new son, but I just am gutted at losing that future I had dreamed of. And it's so final, being my last pregnancy. And I know there is no guarantee I'd have a great relationship with a hypothetical daughter, but that doesn't take away my hurt. 😭
