I always thought I’d have a girl, pictured my life with a girl, everyone told me I’d have a girl so when I found out I was having a boy I was shocked! But he’s here now and I’m more in love with him than I ever thought I would be. I couldn’t imagine my life with a girl and now would be more than happy with my other babies being boys too!

I love having boys! Boys are loving and sweet, and they have their mommas back! My 13 year old mows our grass, and they both shovel lol. It's nice!

I have to admit I have 2 boys and alway wanted boys so my wish ha some true but ohhhhhh lord are they hard work haha but I wouldn't change them for the world xxx

Boys are the best! I'm honestly so glad. Is it because you pictured having a relationship and doing girly things with your daughter when she grows up?

Im a first time mum with a boy ! I really wanted a girl but now I Absolutley love being a boy mum , its w diffrent kind of love

When I had my first I thought I'd be a girl mom i didn't even think of boy names.

Now I have 4 boys and couldn't picture it any other way.

I keep praying for a girl. I keep being told gender disappointment is a thing, so wish for a healthy baby. Everyone says boys are more loving. So I’m hoping if I do get a boy he’ll be a momma’s boy. It is what it is. You’ll be the best mom either way. Stick your chin up. You got this.

Please remember that you are given the perfect baby for you. Honestly their genitals and gender dont matter, I think most women like the idea of a girl because they think they'll have more in common and relate more and it's normal to be disappointed. But it's not like that when your baby is born they are your everything and when that boy smiles at you your heart will glow. My LO is so small but i cant wait to play football with him in the garden and have my husband take him to golf so I can chill for a few hours (and if you knew me I'm the most indoor woman ever and not sporty in the slightest.)

Omg trust me, there is nothing like that mother and son bond I promise you! I also always thought I wanted a girl (we didn’t find out the gender till his birth) but I didn’t feel any disappointment and I LOVE being a boy mom. He’s 18 months old now and he’s all for his mama! Poor dad barely gets a look in 😅 x

Avatar

he will love you so so much! you never know maybe ur next baby will be a girl 🥰 i wanted a girl too but realizing how difficult life is for us women is heartbreaking and id hate for anything bad to happen to my daughter (if i had one) i’m somewhat glad i had a boy because of that. this world is so terrible to us so please raise your boy to be the sweetest thing and to treat girls with upmost respect & love. be the change we need 🤍

3 boys here and i will never have a girl. good luck to you.

Avatar

I did too but my 6 month old boy is now the absolute light of my life and I couldn’t imagine any other baby. Any disappointment will fade I promise!

Avatar

I felt the same with my first and now I have 3 boys!! I’m totally content with it and just so happy my boys are healthy. They are the best!❤️. I feel fine if I never get a girl. Whatever I get is what God planned.

Avatar

You’ll love ur boy no matter what I only have a boy and it’s so fun he’s funny and boys are just crazy idk I’ve seen my friends baby’s that are girls and they’re so calm and my boy is all over the place all the time he’s crazy it’s real fun !

Avatar

You'll love your boy, if not more 🙂

Avatar

I’m 15 weeks and it’s a boy as well I wanted a girl but accepted that I don’t care as long as it’s healthy

Avatar

Same 🤣 I have a stepson who can be a handful, so I was hoping for a girl. We even had the name Georgia picked out, but I've come to be alright with having a boy over time

Avatar

I hoped for a girl too, but found out I was having a boy. These 3 years have been so amazing. He's affectionate, caring, helpful, protective, and shows unconditional love. Now we tell each other, I love you to infinity and beyond.

Avatar

And that's okay to admit that! I'm a boy mom (pregnant with my 2nd boy) and personally I've never yearned for a girl so I was beyond happy to have another boy. Boys are so loving (but the energy level is something else 🤣😅)

Avatar

I thought I was pregnant with a girl and it turn out to be a boy . 💙 & I am so happy I have a baby boy
