Apologies if this seems petty

I think just be grateful God is giving you another healthy baby regardless of the gender, maybe he knew that your daughter needed a best friend.

There are some people that would even have a baby even if it was a girl

My purse was a boy and my last two was girls and I was so happy cause I never thought I would have a daughter. We all are entitled to what we want but be grateful some people can’t have children or try and try again until you get what you want.

Believe me once you see you little girl’s face you will never regret not having a boy and you daughter will have long life bestie that she would relate to in almost everything , i was the same like you i have a girl and just gave birth to my second girl 2 months ago , I’m not gonna lie i was also deceived at first when i found out i was having a girl since i knew what it meant for my husband to have a son and that i don’t want to get pregnant again but since i had my second baby i feel like i never want to have a boy girls are cute and sweet and when i see my sis with her son i thank god i only have girl as boys are harder to raise so please don’t feel sad as you would only wish for healthy baby and that soo many people go through shit to only get one child and that we are blessed with our little princesses

You’re valid to have those feelings. I wanted a son first and i got a daughter and while i adore her deeply part of me kinda misses the fact that i didnt have one yet.
You’ll adore your children no matter what but i understand what you mean.

Your feelings are valid! I'm sure that with time you will settle into having them and hopefully be able to enjoy their relationship. Parenthood can be difficult balance of positive and negative moments and its okay to be sad as long as you feel like you are giving them what you are capable of giving at the moment!

Your honesty and vulnerability is so admirable.

It's really ok to grieve the life you'll never have, and reflect on what having a son or daughter means to you. Perhaps the unconscious is at play, and your relationship with your siblings or parents may have impacted your response to learning about your second daughter.

You did give them both a sibling, and that's a selfless achievement for you and a gift for everyone.

I suppose you'll always carry this grief in some ways, and it's a human thing. But you'll also get to celebrate the beautiful sisters who will keep inspiring each other as they grow. 💖💖👯👯

“Just be grateful” ???

Imagine if every post on Peanut had this response. Husband not helping around the house? Just be grateful you have a husband. Kids being hard work? Just be grateful you have kids. Where is everyone’s empathy? 😓

Gender disappointment is real and your feelings are valid. You are grieving what you thought the future would look like, and that’s okay. Because it may be even more beautiful than you could have imagined. God has given you another girl for a reason, even if you cannot see it yet. In the meantime, allow yourself to feel the feels without guilt. You are human. And pregnant! And hormonal. You will get through this 💗 and if you still long for a boy in your heart, that’s okay too. Because you cannot help your feelings and shouldn’t be shamed for them x

Your daughter is going to have a sister and having a sister is so precious. I wouldn’t know what I would do without mine. She will have a best friend and a confidant for life x
