be honest please....were you ever disappointed in the gender of your new baby?

Question

how do you feel now?

i love my two girls....just thinking of the third and maybe fourth for a boy...but that would be it!!!

Answer 1

Honestly yes. I was really hoping to have another boy my last pregnancy, but we had twin girls instead. Not that I don't love my girls, I do. I was so upset at the thought of not having another boy and my son never having a little brother.

Actually a lot of women have gender disappointment and its normal. People don't talk about it much because of the reactions they get. (People treat you like you are a horrible person for not being happy with what you got). Sometimes seeing a therapist can help you, especially if the people around you treat you like your feelings are wrong and don't understand.

Answer 2

When I got pregnant, I was hoping for a girl. We had the ultrasound done and found out it was a boy. I was a little disappointed but not too bad, only b/c I had this gut feeling it was a boy. (It was weird, while in the stores I would automatically look at boys clothes- little things like that.)
Now, we're trying for baby number 2 and I want another boy.
I've decided I want 3 boys.
Either way, I won't be disappointed. You just have to try not to get your hopes up too high, either way, and remind yourself of all of the children out there with health problems. I think if you do that, you will be perfectly happy with what you get.

Answer 3

I wanted a boy and got a boy. I was very happy.
Currently 19weeks with number two, and wanting a girl this time. Just to even it up in the house and to finish my family. But, would I be disappointed if it were another boy? Not a chance. I love my little boy. Little boys are so cute. Yes they can be a handful when they are small and very hyperactive, but they mellow out..whereas girls seem to be better younger, then look out! Teenaged years are left to come.

Try and think positive. It's normal for you to have these feelings. You can't help how you feel, so don't beat yourself up over it.
You will learn to love and appreciate your baby and it's sex more and more as you both grow to know and love each other more.
I guarantee you will change your mind.

Answer 4

Well, I've thought that the baby is a Boy since DAY 1. I have no idea why...but my husband is convinced that it's because I wanted one so badly. The ultrasound tech says that she's 98% sure it's a boy...but we all know that I won't know until he's born.
I REALLY wanted a boy...it's a leftover I think from my culture, as boy children are sort of preferred as children and I really wanted at least one son.
If the baby turns out to be a girl, I won't be disappointed. One thing I've learned from being pregnant is that you fall in love with the baby in utero, no matter what gender they are!

Answer 5

With my first pregnancy my husband and i both wanted a girl but the ultrasound came back showing a little turtle instead.
At first we were a little disappointed but not for long because we finally got to see our baby and how well he was growing, no complications, and that's what it's really all about.
Afterward i was thrilled to be having a boy a healthy boy at that! And nothing could compare me for how beautiful that little boy was.

Now, 3 yrs later, and expecting our second child April 8th finally yes finally were having our little girl!!!!
I couldn't be happier. With already having a son a girl is all we needed and we are just so thrilled.
Can't wait to met her and finally bring her home.

Answer 6

No! I was so thrilled to know I was having a girl. I think my husband was a bit disappointed, he thought he wanted a boy, he told me not to expect him to be bringing any girly things home. He worked at a department store at the time. 2 days after the ultrasound he excitedly brought home a little pink cheerleader outfit and 2 pair of shoes. He continued this throughout the pregnancy, and even now that our daughter is 7 and he complains that she has too many clothes, we still can't walk through the clothing section of the store without him finding things that he thinks she'd like.

Answer 7

When I was expecting my second child I was really hoping for a boy because we already had a 2 year old daughter. But we had another girl and i must admit I was a little sad at first but my second daughter is such a gift and a blessing. I thank god everyday for giving her to me. I am now 21 weeks prego with our 3rd child and guess what it's a boy! God has a plan for us and it always works out in the end though we might not see it at first.

Answer 8

Not at all. Yes, I admit I would have chosen a boy the second time around so I would have one of each gender. But instead, I got another beautiful, healthy, brilliant, compassionate little girl! Both my husband and I only wanted 2 children, so I knew the little boy was not going to happen. I never learned the sex of either of my children prior to their birth, I wanted to be surprised, so I guess it wasn't that important anyway.

Answer 9

Yes, for the first five minutes. My second baby meant we had one of each so I knew my wife would not want to have a third as she had a boy and a girl. I wanted more kids. After six minutes, and to this day, I couldn't be happier., even though we stopped at two.

Answer 10

I have two boys and I was hoping for a girl with each pregnancy. In retrospect, I can't believe I felt that way!! I love my boys and can't imagine them as anyone else but their wonderful little selves! I have loads of fun with them and know they'll always be my loyal, loving boys!
