Answer 1

I wish those people wouldn't answer if all they are going to say is that you should just want the baby healthy. DUH!!!!! Of course we all want that but normally we have questions that we want answers to _so PEOPLE just answer the question.

I was pregnant for the third time and really wanting a girl since my other 2 were boys. I had been pregnant earlier which I had lost the baby. I knew in my heart that the baby we lost was a girl. My husband and I went to get our routine ulrasound for this pregnancy and found out it was a boy. I started crying. I couldn't help myself. This was my husbands first child and he wanted a girl so bad. I was disappointed but by the time he was born I was used to the idea, and now I wouldn't trade him for anything.
My little boy gave us all a show on His ultrasound too!! We paid to get 3-D ulrasound a few months after the first one, and my husband, myself and the ultrasound tech were all laughing because of his show, if you know what I mean!! LIVE,LAUGH, and LOVE!!!!

Answer 2

My husband has 2 boys already from a previous relationship - and when I got pregnant I wanted so much to give him a girl. When we went for our 20 week scan and found out it was a boy I did feel a little dissappointed. But once that little bundle of joy came into this world both myself and my husband were overjoyed and he is the most amazing thing ever. I am now pregnant again and really dont care this time round if we have a girl or a boy.As long as it is healthy thats all that matters and Im sure you will feel the exact same when your little bundle arrives it is the best feeling in the world. Good luck!!!!

Answer 3

Congratulations and well done!!
Can I just say that I already have a girl (now 15!) and she has been a nightmare for the past 4 years! My boyfriend has two boys and two girls (now young adults). Without a doubt the boys were far less bother.
I am due in April. If it's a girl I think we might be tempted to shove her back in!!
Truth is though, as long as the baby is healthy and happy then you will be too. But, don't crucfy yourself for feeling a bit disappointed, that's ok too. I will be disappointed if this one's a girl, but joking apart I will love her anyway.
I wasn't worried about the sex of my first at all, in fact I couldn't understand why it was such a big issue. I know how you feel now though. I think you'll find you enjoy your son very much though!

No, it's not wrong to be disappointed that you're not having a girl. I was in the same boat ten years ago. I had hoped for a girl as long as I could remember. My tests came back high risk for Down's Syndrome and I was scared to death. So, when the test results came back OK and I was told it was a boy, I was just so relieved to know that he was healthy that it didn't matter that I wasn't getting my little girl. Now, ten years later, I can honestly say that he is the best thing that ever happened to me. Just last night he wrote me a letter telling me that I was his favorite person in the whole world. If I had the chance, I wouldn't change a thing. I wish you a wonderful, happy, healthy boy who thinks the world of you. Good Luck!

Answer 5

I don't think so, I really want a girl too. I don't find out for awhile but I know I will be a little disappointed if it is a boy. I feel like I would know how to raise a girl better than a boy. There is a reason for everything though, hope he comes out healthy. I am sure he will still look cute in girl's clothes for the first few months, lol.

Answer 6

Its okay to feel dissappointed if you really wanted a girl. But hey, when he comes out you will forget all that and love him as much as you could ever love anything.

Look on the bright side aswell, having a boy will be really good and there is always next time to have a baby girl.

There are so many advantages to having a boy and seeing as you are the husband, you may be able to form a special bond with him.

good luck and look on the bright side. hope it all goes well for you.

Answer 7

you've got a beautiful, healthy baby on the way, the sex of the baby does'nt matter, he will be loved as much as a girl would, imagine the shock of being told your 17 weeks preg, when you didnt even know you were, only to find out at another scan 2 days later that your having twins a boy and girl, but along side my 4 year old daughter, they are all my world, twins are 15 weeks now, and life is fantastic,

Answer 8

Is this your first child? I already had a little girl aged 13 months when my second child came along and when I had the scan which showed he was a boy I too felt a certain degree of disappointment. Having already had a perferct little girl I wanted another but the little boy that I did get is perfect too. No matter what the sex so long as they are happy and healthy, and you are too, that is all that matters.

Answer 9

No it's not wrong, your only human. I felt the same way. I really wanted a girl but i'm having a boy. I was disappointed in the beginning, but it didn't take long for my feelings to change. In my opinion,,, boys are easier anyway. :)
Congrats on the healthy baby boy!

Answer 10

Not at all. Please don't worry, I felt the same when I had my scan last time around. I now love my little boy to bits. Although I am hoping for a girl this time...!
It's not your fault if that is how you feel and you don't need to feel guilty about it. I think if you were considering drowning him at birth that would be a different matter..; ) We can't help our feelings only our actions. Maybe try to figure why you so wanted a girl? Might help feel more justified if you understand your motives.
Best wishes hun. Lots of people will understand.
