Im just curious. Im a girls girl… and just had a baby girl but i wonder if im gonna feel awkward having a boy?!? Boys are kinda foreign to me. For girly girls who had boys, how did you adjust to to having a baby boy? Did you research? Did it come natural? I feel i know alot about my womanhood and stress a bit wondering about dealing with male parts and the male brain altogether! Question “Was it a hard adjustment being a female having your first male child?”

I have 2 girls ages 10 and 2. Just had my first boy 4 weeks ago and its strange haha. Obviously its the same hes a baby and I love him just the same as the girls but its weird for instance doing his nappy is completely different and I think harder than a girls.

Girly girls girl her, favorite color is pink bought girl clothes before we knew the gender and bam had a boy i was so scared and sad but when you see those dino outfits and the greens a blues all you can think about is hes gonna look so cute in them a lil girl is a small version of you a boy is something completely different and insurmountable it comes naturally a shift but none the less a blessing

I'm a girly girl and was so sure for some reason that I would have a babygirl. When I knew he was going to be a boy it was weird at first. But that feeling really didn't last for long, then my focus went on how to raise a boy so he becomes a good, emotionally intelligent, loving, kind and respectful man.
I love my boy so so much, and if I have more children I really couldn't care less if it's a boy or a girl, I just love to be a mom♡

I had my girl first, my second was my boy. I love my daughter with everything. She’s my first born, my baby girl. She taught me how to be a mom and I owe her the world. She is a daddy’s girl. but man something about little boys and their mommas. That boy to this day (he’s about to be 14), can still melt me like butter. He was a mamas boy through and through.

I’m a girly girl it’s pretty much natural. The only thing I struggle with is the amount of energy and sometimes aggressive play. Luckily his friends and dad offset that a bit. He plays with his sister quite a bit and she copies that behavior sometimes 🥴. But other than that it’s been pretty natural.

I’m a girly girl but it’s just natural I had a brother and I have boy cousins, my first is a girl but very high energy so I’m used to the “roughness” he’s probably a bit “gentler” at this age to be honest than she was but they’re both pretty balanced they’re only 17 months apart tho so this probably has something to do with it, ofc my girl is a girl and my boy is a boy but it’s pretty much the same

Girly girl here with a big girl and a little boy.
Tbh I love it, he’s so much more cuddly and affectionate. For some reason, he has me around his little finger, big eyes and goofy smirk. He’s my shadow whereas she was very independent.
I tend to buy clothes from Jojo Maman Bebe and others for brighter fun clothes as I hate grey/black on kids
I love the mess, the cars, the farm animals. He’s only 15m old but he’s stronger than she was, pulls on stair gates and throws toys more but it still came naturally. He plays dollies with his sister and has a little boy doll he sleeps with.
As for boy bits, I actually found them easier! Less nooks and crannies to find poop in and I’ve only been peed on twice! My daughter peed me on more 🤣

I have four girls and one boy. My son is my second born. He turns 14 in May. It came natural and we have a great relationship.

I still identify as a girl Mom and am still adjusting to having a boy, even 4 years later 😂 he is the best, but my god the energy, the random sounds he comes up with all day long, the boogers he is 10000% fine eating, the things he says. It's so foreign for me! Haha

Ohh I read did it come natural? And pressed yes then realised the actual question at the end 😂
No it wasn’t a hard adjustment having my first male child, it came naturally, and I wouldn’t change it at all! He’s my little best friend!

I had a girl first. Then got pregnant with my son. It was weird when he was in my uterus, idk why. But the love a mom has for her son is indescribable. My daughter was a daddy's girl so having a mommy's boy has been the best. I thought it would be a hard adjustment but it really wasnt. The diapers are weird sometimes and his penis gets red sometimes but I have my husband look at it and he tells me what the likely problem is. Baths are also a little weird because you have to clean the penis and balls and I always say sorry bud to my son when I clean him there. He doesnt scream or fuss when I do but I just feel weird doing it.
