boy??????again?

Question

Im in shock still!!! I am the mom and step mom of 4 little boys and found out yeasterday that im carrying another BOY!! this is our last child and im so hurt :( i really wanted to have a daughter someday and now its simply just not possible. How can i get over this? Im happy to be pregnant and happy for this baby, i want him to be healthy and all of that, but inside i feel so "let down". He was 9oz and im 19 weeks, is that normal? Do you think they could have been wrong on the sex?

Answer 1

If they got a good look, they're not likely to be wrong. I'm not sure of the odds, but I've heard that they're more likely to be wrong if they say girl and it's a boy, than if they say boy and it's a girl.

I only have one son, but I had thought that I really wanted a girl first, and when they said boy, I was also a little disappointed.

You'll love him as much as you love your other boys, even before he's born. And if you really don't have any other kids (I don't know your reasons for this one being your last), you can always look forward to granddaughters!

Answer 2

It is a possibility, but it depends how good of a look she/he got. As far as how to get over it, you may not. If your desire to have a girl is so strong, you may always have that feeling for the rest of your life. But i think it will lessen and you will be happy with what God gave you. When i found out i was pregnant with my third, i figured and planned for another boy. I knew that if i went in, and they said i was going to have a boy, i would have started crying, and then felt bad because i wouldn't have been as happy. It's really a natural thing for a woman to want a little girl of her own. Don't let anyone tell you that you shouldn't feel let down or be sad. This doesnt make you a bad person or anything like that. Is there any way you could handle maybe another one a few years down the road??? Of course you could get a boy, but if you could make it work, you just might get your girl.
Who knows, maybe they were wrong. Did you ask how sure she was??
I know you'll love your son just as much, and forget about a lot of it when he is born, but just know that there are others who share your wish for that little girl.
There's always grandkids, right?
Good luck!!

Answer 3

I think we are almost exactly the same amount pregnant (did that make sense)! I found out yesterday that i will be having a boy as well, and i felt disappointed at the time, but now after going through the things we have already bought i am so excited to have a little boy. I have two girls already though. I am sorry that you are feeling let down, and ultrasounds can absolutely be wrong, maybe there is still hope.

Answer 4

At 4 months my doctor told me I was going to have a boy. I somehow already knew that, Then when I was 8 months pregnant they wanted to see if the baby was breech or not so they took pictures of course and said do you know the sex of your baby. I said yes, I said its a boy and she said no She is a girl. I was in such shock but I was so excited and luckily all my stuff went for either boy or girl. So who knows the doctors could be wrong. Just be very thankful for whatever you get. I am now pregnant again and hopeing for a boy. So we will see. Good luck.

Answer 5

when they say it's a girl, they are sometimes wrong but when they say its a boy, it's a boy, sorry you are sad i am a mother to four boys and i just had my little girl 4 months ago, i say try again, the more the merrier, but boys have a very special bond with there moms, you are truly blessed

Answer 6

Adopt a baby girl!!! You can wait untill your kids are older to do it, but adoption is the only way you can really pick the sex of the baby.
