Gender disappointment second boy

Hey, I completely understand how you're feeling. We found out last week that our second is also a boy. When did you find out? Just give yourself some time to process. I think we will likely only have two children too, as my husband only wants two. I feel better about it than I did last week and im trying to focus on how much I love my son and how much he will love having a brother.

I don't know about you but what was upsetting me about not having a girl are the things I see on social media about a mom's relationship with her son as they get older (e.g. the rhetoric about how a son is your child until they get married, a daughter is your child for life blah blah blah) so ive also been trying to reframe and challenge that in my head too x

I'm also having a 2nd boy, most likely, but still want this confirmed in a few weeks, 20 weeks.
I did feel a little bit down when I found out, and it's totally okay to feel this way, it's so common, also partly knowing this will be my last baby, and I kinda think I would of felt sad for a girl or boy in that sense.

But when I thought about it more and more, I feel so excited. 🩵

My first son has always favoured having a brother which I'm glad he will get this.
Boys have huge love for their mum especially young. I know boys that have grown up that treat their family and others so respectfully with warmth, seen girls that don't give a shit, vice versa. So I think it's mostly down (if you're thinking about bonding when older) it's more their individual personalities, how they are brought up, not g/b factor
My boys will share a room (would have to move with a girl).
Started preparing, getting little outfits.
My hubby is so excited to take them to football, both watching and playing etc.

I’m having my third boy I’ve got an 8 year old and a 1 year old and it’s lovely having them both boys the bond they have. Everyone in the family wanted our third to be a girl when we found out was a boy I was upset but then I think it will be lovely have 2 close in age into the same things.
Just think of the good parts of having two boys

It’s normal to feel sad especially when you first find out, but soon you will get used to the idea! And at least your son will have a best friend for life! With different genders they can’t always have the same hobbies or don’t have same interests as they get older and may not really spend as much time together.

Its okay to feel sad, my other half wanted three girls and hated the thought of a boy. We're meant to be having a boy but still to be confirmed in a few days time. I think that it's okay to let yourself grieve the fact you won't have a girl and let yourself feel your feelings. Take it slow and when your ready celebrate your boy.

I'll be honest when I told people I was having a boy they mostly all immediately said I don't think you're a boy mom or that they were shocked as I'm such a girl mum. For instance my girl is dressed in fluffy girly dresses everyday with all pink everything and her hair done perfectly.
I don't think they meant it in a bad way, but not the best either.

I feel exactly the same. I love my little boy so much so I know I'll love my 2nd as much but still the feeling of missing out on all the girl things makes me so sad. I'm trying to work with my feelings and I know I will.
I also found out last week. When are you due?

I feel the exact same way, found out yesterday I am having a second boy, I was convinced that I was having a girl and my pregnancy has been very different. I didn’t feel reassured in my scan and thought that it was very rushed so I feel like I can’t process it yet as I am not 100% convinced. I am going to wait until my 20 weeks scan for it to feel real.

I don’t think it’s that your disappointed in the baby you are having just grieving what you imagined a life would be like with a daughter xxx

I have been telling myself that hopefully they will find nice partners and I'll be able to do girl things with them (if they are straight, anyway). But it is hard and its completely ok to be sad.

I'm due 20th Jan! What about you?

I'm due on 24th

I just found out I’m having another boy and was so sad this was my last baby and I convinced myself it was a girl as all my symptoms are so different from my sons this boy will be just as loved but I mourn the girl I pictured in my head the name I picked out I was so convinced I bought a little dress safe to say I cried all day /night , I’m just telling myself I will be a girl grandma 😩😩
