YES!!!! You are so not alone :)

With my daughter, I was hoping for a boy. Found out she was a girl and cried.... Same as you, once I got used to the idea I just wanted her healthy. She wasn't planned as I was told I could not conceive, yet I went through a lot to maintain the pregnancy. Once she was born I felt so bonded to her. Everything I do is for my daughter, I love her so much and wouldn't change her for the world! I must say I even prepared myself to hear the words it's a girl.... When they told us, the sonographer hesitated for a moment and because I didn't hear the word "girl" immediately for some silly reason I suddenly thought Oh maybe it's a boy! My heart sunk to hear I was having a girl. I was thrilled the baby was healthy, but I was hoping they just missed something on the scan and I was really having a boy.....

After she was born, I miscarried one baby and then fell pregnant with twins - one of which we lost. I am 23 weeks pregnant and my daughter is now 10 months old. I have spent 3 months haemorrhaging severely and the week it stopped my waters broke... So it has been a painful, stressful pregnancy. And all I want this time is to birth a healthy, developed baby!!! As you can understand.... But with my little girl, I was crushed to hear the words "it's a girl". I am sure our pregnancy hormones don't do much to help! And I hate it that some people think it makes us bad or ungrateful mums!! It doesn't, it just makes us a little slower to adjust to the news :) xx

Oh yeah, everyone told me I would have a boy too by the way I looked... so much for the wives tales on what we are having hey!!!

I think gender disappointment happens a lot more often than people are willing to admit. That being said, I think most of the people who have a preference end up being over the moon happy with whatever gender they get. I would have been upset if my first had been a boy because I always wanted a daughter. My husband said he didn't care as long as our current baby was healthy but once he found out our second is also a girl he confessed that he had been hoping for another little girl he just didn't want to say anything in case it turned out to be a boy and then he would have been made to feel unappreciative.

I completely understand! You are not a bad person, you just got your hopes up and then dashed.

Our last pregnancy was a little girl that we lost at 10 weeks. This time a boy. I am thrilled to be having a boy (my intuition told me that's what it was) and of course to be having a healthy baby, but I'm already thinking about the next baby and hoping for a girl!

I understand how you feel. My first I wanted a boy I got it was very happy. Then I wanted a girl for the 2nd and 3rd, got them to. But for my forth i wanted a boy and got another girl was really sad, but I could not love her more since the moment she was born. But I am hopping for a boy now , guess we'll see in 5 1/2 months.

You are not terrible. At my u/s for my 2nd a tear ran down my face when they said boy... My pregnancy was soooo different I was sure it was the little girl I dreamed of. But me & my 2nd are so close. He is an amazing little boy and I'm now pregnant with my 3rd boy. We all have dreams and feel a little let down when life is different, but it doesn't change the love we have for the baby we carry. Don't feel bad, your heart will melt when you look in his little face!

Is it wrong to wish for a big screen tv or to win the lottery? Everybody has wishes, sometimes they come true other times they don't and we just go one without the $20 nill someone else won. You are for sure not alone with this gender disappointment.
I have 2 boys, 20 month apart, and then I had to wait 10 years for my little girl. We used all the clothing we still had and then after 8 years and miscarriages we gave up and gave all our baby stuff away. But the wish to have a another baby didn't go away. I started reading up on acidic foods and conception times and we tried just what all the websides suggested and sure enough we got a girl. I was so sure I would have another boy, when I saw the ultrasound picture I just thought 'there is nothing between his legs". We are so greatful we have her, we wanted her for so many years but when we found out it was a shock too. I think it is normal to have a reaction when you finally find out if you have a boy or a girl. When you finally hold him in your arms you will be happy you have him. I would be more concerned if you had no reaction at all to finding out that you are going to have another baby.

You're not wrong for feeling this way. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was convinced she was a boy. Everyone else was too, chinese gender said boy, ring on a string test said boy, and I just thought it was. I was even ready to buy blue paint for the nursery but my husband said we should wait. Well, at my u/s, when I sat there waiting for her to say it's a boy, I have to admit I was a little shocked and maybe disappointed that she said it's a girl. I looked up, mouth hanging open, and just said, "Really?". It took me a few days to get used to saying "she" instead of "he" (I'd been referring to the baby as "he"!!) but I did start to realize that as long as the baby was healthy, that's all that mattered. Now that she's here (7 months already!) I can't even imagine my life being any different. I know it was normal to feel that way at the time, but I can't possibly picture my life without Emily. I know you'll come around to the idea of having another boy and you'll love him just the same, but yeah, it can be a letdown when you've been anticipating one gender over the other. You're definitely not alone!!

Well, i now have 4 boys! Growing up I was always sure I would have at least one girl...esp. since I had three brothers, and my mom died when I was a teenager...I looked forward to the pink, dresses, and braids!

I think it is totally normal what you are going thru. I cried when I found out my second was a boy! I had already started buying all the baby girl clothes..which I have until this day, btw. My DH insisted to "put a stop to my madness" by making me find out . He was thrilled with the prospect of another boy..."another hunter for the group!" he exclaimed. I thought it was our second and last child, so I truly was disappointed that I would be outnumbered...again.

Then, #3 and #4...not exactly planned. But by my 4th boy, everyone thought for sure I would be devastated. Not at all the case. I considered them to be bonus babies, and as such, did not even really care anymore.

I can tell you that 2 boys, close in age, will be very close and the best pf friends. and who knows? Maybe your third will be a girl!:)

Cant lie, Im pregnant with my 2nd, another girl.. I really wanted a boy, already had the name picked out... and I thought since this pregnancy seemed soooo different that I was for sure having a boy..


But we all know we are blessed when we have a healthy baby... I'm weeks away from seeing her and getting restless!!

I'm pregnant with my 4th girl, adn I really wanted a son when I got the first U/S where you could see it. I shed a few tears. But now I'm really excited and happy to be adding another sweet girl to our family.

This is natural and nothing to be ashamed about.
