pregnant and really want a girl?

Question

i have 2 boys, i am 10 weeks pregnant with my third and final.
i really would like a girl and i am frightned how i will feel if the scan shows its a boy, has anybody been in this situation how did you feel????

i feel really bad for feeling like this, and i know i should be happy with whateva sex, cause many people cannot even have kids

Answer 1

just because you have two boys does not necessarily mean you will have another one, i had two boys and then a girl, even if it does turn out to be another boy you will probably feel a little disappointed to start with but you will soon accept it and love him just the same, good luck

Answer 2

I have 3 boys and I love them all to bits. I would love to have a girl and feel the same way you did. On my third child I asked what sex it was and did feel a bit disheartened when they said a boy, but all I could think of was that I had the experience of boys and that he would be loved and adored like the other two. I felt worse also because I had lost a little girl in between my first and second, however my boys have given me so much happiness. They can be a handful, but that isn't because they are boys, its because they are children. Don't feel upset or guilty for how you are feeling, just be happy that you have a new life growing inside you. I wish you every luck. I'm hoping to try for my fourth (and last) soon. xx

Answer 3

I had 2 wonderful amazing girls close together then fell pregnant again with my third. I am ashamed to admit i worried so much and cried a lot worrying it would be a boy - sods law says he was and he is an amazing wonderful child just like my girls he was followed by accident by his brother and I have to admit there is nothing different really between sexes feel totally blessed (after the stress) with all of mine. I know its not the same situation but all kids are wonderful regarless of sex.

Hope all goes well (it easy for me to give opinion as have 2 of each) good luck and love from us

Answer 4

I would not worry. I've just had my first and what will probably be my only child (I'm 35, have fertility problems and it took me about 10 years to conceive!!) and I felt I wanted a girl as me and my mum have such a close relationship and I wanted to have the same with my child. I worried that if I had a boy I wouldn't be that close to him.

Well my beautiful son, Arthur, was born 12 weeks ago and he is the most precious thing that has ever happened to me. I wouldn't change him for 100,000,000,000,000 girls!!!!! I love him so much and am so excited about the rest of our life together and seeing him grow into a strong, wonderful young man.

Being the mum of 3 boys would be wonderful, just imagine how much they will look after you when you are older? Boys are apparently easier than girls and more affectionate as well. I know some horrible spoiled naughty little girls and also some really sweet little boys!!!

You'll love your baby no matter what. Stop worrying. People said the same to me - when that little warm bundle is placed in your arms you wouldn't change them for the world - and its true. My son is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me and I wouldn't change him for anything!!!!

Answer 5

im in the exact same situation ive two boys aged 5 and 6 and my new baby is due in july, i really thourght on this pregnanct id have a girl ive had sickness, headaches craviness, few problems with fluid all the things i didnt have with the boys. My nan died in October and she said id have a girl. Only on the scan They said it was a boy she pointed to a third leg as she said it. I was so upset and to be honest i cryed when i got to my mums. But over the last week or so its grew on me and i know when i see him i obviously wont want a girl then. But every one is still convinced im having a girl and saying it must be the cord, so il just have to see what comes out in july.

Answer 6

aw im sure it will be a girl hun but dont worry if its a boy he will still be loved, can always try one last time, the old tale is little sex you have a boy lot of sex you get a girl

my daughter is 6 months pregnant i was so convinced it was a girl, she went for her 20 week scan and they said its a boy, i was a little disappointed at first but as long as hes healthy thats all that matters

mind we have bought all boy things, i said to my daughter she wasn't 100% on ultra sound so could still be a girl.then were just gonna have to dress her in blue things LOL

when i had her i was told she was a boy but she wasn't so there not always right.................but when you find out and they say girl dont get too excited just incase its wrong

but good luck

Answer 7

You've just answered your own question!!

Seriously though, I REALLY understand how you feel. I'm lucky enough to have a mix, but my sister in law was GUTTED when she had her third girl.

I always feel sorry for her youngest girl, coz she's been told by her sisters that their Mum and Dad wanted a boy.

So, it's important that your two boys NEVER know that you desperately wanted a girl if you get a boy next time.

Try not to feel too bad, it's understandable.

I hope you have a wonderful healthy little person!!

Best of luck!

Answer 8

I have 3 boys and Im pregnant with my 4th and its a girl finally. But I have always wanted a girl and everytime I got the ultrasound I was hoping for a girl, but I was really never disappointed when they told me its a boy. I loved them all very much and was just as excited either way. Now when I had my scan with this one my husband and I were both shocked when the tech said, its a girl. I still cant believe it. So we thought out 3rd, was going to be our final one, but we both just decided a couple of years later to go ahead and try for one more. I was totally prepared to have them tell me it would be another boy. I hope you get your girl this time...

Answer 9

i have been in the opposite situation where i had three girls and was expecting again and would be happy to have a boy, i felt wierd when i was told it was a boy, i looked at all the boys around and coldn't find a nice looking boy on the way back from my scan that day, when the day came to have my baby i was surprised that i instantly fell in love with my baby....but this is a mothers instinct regardless of boy or girl you will love them as your own. don't worry

Answer 10

My aunt and uncle had 4 boys and she was always desperate for a girl. So whenever i saw them they were all over me and very jealous of my parents as they had 1 boy and 1 girl. I know that if it is a boy you will love him unconditionally like your other boys but i can see where you're coming from. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and good luck with whatever it turns out to be x
