i really want a baby girl, wud be upset if it was a boy! help!!!!?

Question

i know this sounds horrible but its just how i feel, think i would be really upset if at the scan i was told it was a boy. has anyone else felt like this? i feel bad for saying it!

Answer 1

yes I did, with both my pregnancies, I wanted a girl, and with both they told me 'boy', especially in the 2nd I felt quite disappointed, but you get over it, seeing all the ultrasounds, and after you give birth you feel really differently...I have 2 boys and I would have it no other way... but I am still hoping for a girl when I try for baby #3.

Answer 2

I think many many moms have gone through this and still do... right now you are wanting a girl but believe me when the child is born you will love it no matter what sex it is. Guess that is coz during the pregnancy the child is surreal...there is no character or face or expression you can relate to. I wanted a girl when i had my first one and was dissapointed when i found out it was a boy....but when he was born i looked into that beautiful face and loved him right away. By the second one i was happy for anything so long as it was healthy and would have loved him even if he was not. Little boys are awsome and always tend to side towards mommy whereas little girls seem to lean towards their fathers. Both have their pros and cons both are just as wonderful. Just be grateful that you are fertile and have the ability to conceive. You seem young so maybe your next will be a girl if this one is not. Whatever you have dont let the babies sex get in the way of your happines rejoice in whatever you are blessed with.

Answer 3

I'm 25 weeks pregnant, and I too, was kind of leaning toward a girl - for a variety of personal reasons... my daughter wants a baby sister, we already have girl baby clothes and a girl's nursery, and, I didn't want to be faced with a decision ( and fight with the family) over circumcision... I too, felt a little bad about 'wanting' a specific sex for the child...but you can't help how you feel, so don't let guilt make you feel bad about it!

Things worked out for us, -- we'll be having a girl. But either way, a healthy child is still the most important thing, and even if you feel an initial twinge of disappointment, you'll love your child more then anything!

Answer 4

I really want a girl too. But if I find out I'm having a boy and then when he's finally born I know that I'll be equally happy looking at my little miracle and holding my child that I wouldn't care anymore. I bet you're gonna feel the same way no matter what. Best wishes for a baby girl. God bless!

Answer 5

You may feel like that now, and you may even cry if it turns out to be a boy. But eventually you will fall in love with the idea of a son.
I was so sure my son was a girl, we were told several times via ultrasound he was a girl, my heart was set on it. Then one day they said "we messed up, its a boy". I cried for a good hour or so and within a few days I was excited to be having a little man around the house. Its normal to want one gender over the other, you will love your child no matter what, just remember that!

Answer 6

To be honest with I find raising boys is alot easier than girls. I myself have 2 boys and one girl. But both sisters and my brother have in total all together 8 girls and WOW they are hard to raise. My older has a boy as well. If I were to have another child I think that having another boy would be great but then again a girl would be gerat for my daughter to have someone to play with. Either way God will bless you with a child that will need you at any given time enjoy that child and who knows the next time could be a girl.

Answer 7

i used to want a boy and a girl. i now have a boy and am expecting my second child. i think i took my first pregnancy for granted and saw being pregnant as my right. since then my husband nearly died of cancer and we got told we wouldn't have any more kids because of his treatment. we had fertility treatment and i fell pregnant on the second cycle. i now see pregnancy as a gift and i cherish every moment of it, despite morning sickness, anaemia, back pain, etc. as long as my child is healthy i will be overjoyed with another boy or a girl. i think you should be a little more gratefull for what you've got and see what really matters. that said i hope you do have a girl because if you have a boy how would he feel if he ever found out he wasn't what you wanted.

Answer 8

i already had a boy. I wanted a girl. all my family had boy/girl so i just assumed i had my boy now it'll be a girl. i had my heart set on it. I asked at the scan and nearly fell off the bed when she said it was a boy. If I'm totally honest I was a bit disappointed. But you'll love him. Mines are now 16 & 18 years old. If I was to have another...I'd want another wee dude. Boys are great wee characters

Answer 9

i feel the same really i want a boy this time i already have 2 girls and a boy and this is the last time im going to go through this so i would really like another boy i would be upset if i have another girl but in the end i will be grateful as long as the baby is healthy
its 50/50 chance and its the sperm that chooses what it will be so its not your fault but try and think positive and love it no matter the sex!!

Answer 10

I wanted a girl and actually convinced myself it would be a girl. I bought the frilly pants and girly things. When the baby was born it was a boy, I was a bit disappointed but once I held him and felt the closeness of him I loved him just the same. He took a bit of getting used to and kept calling him "her" for an few days. I kept the girly things and my next one was a girl, and the strange thing was that I was worried if I would be able to love her as much as I loved by son, would I love her less . Worried myself sick for nothing, I love them both very much as you will love your baby whether its a boy or girl. Good luck.
