Gender Reveal

I just got my NIPT test results and everything came back normal/low risk. I also was able to find out I'm having a boy. My boyfriend said he wanted to be a boy and it didn't really matter to me, this my first baby and I just the baby to be healthy. Honestly I was kinda bummed for a moment that it wasn't a girl. I started feeling guilty that I felt that way when first got the results. Now, I'm very excited to meet our little boy in November! We even names picked out💙 Has anyone felt that way??

Don’t feel guilty, as it’s your first, you probably can think of exciting things about having both. It’s totally normal to be sad you won’t get to do some of the girly things whilst being excited that you can do the boy things. Don’t worry lovely, and who knows maybe one day you’ll have both 😉 Good luck for your arrival in November xx

We had gender disappointment here very briefly. We have 2 boys already and really wanted a girl. I was bummed for about a day but then I was excited because my gut had already told me it wasn't a girl. I just hadn't felt like the baby was a girl from the beginning. This will be my last baby but we're content with that.

I felt the same way when I found out I was having a boy my first pregnancy. But then started getting excited and now I’m the happiest boy mom. Your feelings are totally normal!!

I’m waiting for my NIPT results now as well (how long did it take??) I have two stepsons so it’s definitely my dream to have a girl! But I know that once those feelings are felt I will just be happy no matter what! But yes hoping for a girl!!!

@Amy thank you❤️

@Samantha the nurse told me 7 to 10 business days, but I found out a week later. I just kept checking my emails

@Tiphani ok good to know!!!! I’ll do the same. The online profile says like 2 weeks after but everyone who has used Natera said about a week!

@Samantha just make sure you register on Natera to check there also❤️

Super normal to have gender disappointment! I'm hoping for a boy this time because I already have a girl. I know I will be disappointed for a moment finding out its a girl but I'm going to try to just honor my feelings. Being a mom is complicated huh?
