Anyone else struggling with the gender of their baby?
I have always pictured my life with daughters. I've dreamed of the mother-daughter relationship for as long as I can remember.
My first child is a boy, and though I love him more than anything and I love that I was able to give my husband a little mini, I really struggle with being a boy mom a lot of the time.
And now I'm pregnant with a second boy.
It's not that I will resent my child for something that is completely out of anyone's control. I know I will love him to pieces once he arrives but I am having a hard time grieving the fact that I will likely never have the daughter I always dreamed of.
Anyone else having these feelings?

I know what you mean I desperately wanted a boy I was an absolute mess for weeks when I found out it was a girl, I cried and said I’d hate her that I’d never want her, but it’s all a huge adjustment specially with hormones, it gets better now I have settled with the idea and I can’t wait to meet our baby,
Gender disappointment is very real ! I’m in the same boat as you I have a litttle boy and I was set on this one being a girl, I don’t think I’ll be able to do it all again so it was hard to come to terms with that I’ll only be a boy mom I’ve always wanted one of each
Same situation as you but opposite gender. I have a daughter and currently pregnant with a girl. I wanted a boy so bad and I felt depressed when I got the scan result. Had to come to term that I’d be girls mum. Anyways! I hope you feel better cause I can completely relate.
