3rd baby if it’s a girl…

I’m very fortunate. I’ve not had any issues getting pregnant, ‘normal’ pregnancies, and quick good births of two healthy happy boys. First baby was a total nightmare and I suffered with PND for probably the first year. Second baby is a total dream and has healed me in more ways than I could have imagined.

My second pregnancy was so different to my first I convinced myself I was having a girl. I cried for 2 days when I found out he was a boy. I love him immensely but there’s a little part of my heart that aches for a girl. I genuinely would try for a 3rd baby if I knew it would be a girl but it would break me if I had 3 boys. How the hell do I get over this feeling?! Please tell me I’m not alone

This is my journey but I've told myself there is no point in doing this. Girl or no girl having 3 might break me mentally. 1st I had bad PPA and my 2nd has healed me. I don't want to even rock the boat just for a girl which you may not have. Having a child for a gender is not a reason to have a child. Please remember that , for me it's a hard pill to swallow but my boys need their mum in check!
