Disappointing Gender Reveal

Well I’m having a baby boy and before finding out the gender I was happy with either or but when I found out I was having a boy and was a little sad that I wouldn’t be having a little girl and get to wear the matching outfits and go babygirl crazy with shopping but after a while I came to terms with having a boy because either way I’m still bringing a beautiful baby into the world who gonna need me for the rest of his life and I couldn’t be more happy to be his mom and watch him grow in time you’ll be okay with being a boy mom just try and think about all the positives of being a boy mom and always remember you can always try for another baby if you like and maybe you’ll have a girl anyways congratulations on the little boy hope this helped at all ☺️

I have 3 boys and I was a bit disappointed on finding out with the 3rd, but it didnt last long. I am now pregnant with surprise baby number 4 and obviously I would love a girl. If I don't, I'm pretty sure I will have the same small feelings of disappointment, but I love my boys and my baby. The excitement of having a baby takes over and at least I can stop looking at girly things 🙈😃

A girl doesn't mean it will be a mini you. My male cousin's daughter looks exactly like him except with long hair and absolutely nothing like her Mum.

Yeah I really wanted a boy I had to practice my happy face if they told me girl which they did I cried in the car on way home I even apologised to my partner for letting him down but now she here my god I wouldn’t change her for the world if anything I’m more team girl them I was team boy

I have a boy and honestly they are amazing! I’m sure your little one will be a proper mummy’s boy as well so I wouldn’t be too disappointed. Once you have him in your arms for the first time and know that he is healthy, you won’t have a care in the world, trust me xxx

I just say I don’t care which gender I have so I won’t get disappointed. And honestly, not every girl is a mini version of their moms. Mine is nothing like me. She’s like a girl version of her dad.

Yes I was really disappointed when I found out I was having a boy lol... just don’t think majority of boys are that into their mums when they get older. Whereas girls generally have that best friend relationship. That was my issue. Found out 3 weeks ago and still have them sinking feelings of him picking a footy day out with he’s dad then a spa/shopping day with mum lol. Think it’s probably pretty normal. But I’m sure once they’re here things will change. (Well hoping so lol)

We already have a girl and both wanted another girl, We were highly disappointed that we were having a boy, but the second the handed him to me that disappointment turned into more love than I even imagined. I love both of my children with every fiber of my being and wouldnt change them in any way not gender or anything, but I have noticed my husband has a bit of favoritism towards our daughter and I have slight favoritism towards our son. I think its just in a mans nature to care for and protect girls/women and im a womens nature to care for boys/men. But I wouldnt have had it any other way now that my son is physically here. The moment you look at your son, and see your husband you will fill up with unimaginable joy and all of these feelings you never thought possible!

Tbh I’d just be grateful you have a healthy baby. I understand everyone has their preferred gender but once your baby is here you will be happy whatever they are ❤️

The thing that helped me before I knew what I was having was hearing. “Not all boys act like boys and not all girls act like girls. You can guarantee your child is going do and like all the things you picture in your head.”
Also, if your going to have more kids then you still have a chance. Embrace motherhood as motherhood. ❤️

Can’t * guarantee **

I had a daughter when i got with my now husband. When i got pregnant amd found out i was having a girl we were both a little disappointed but after a bit we just got excited about baby coming. Then i git pregnant a few months after she was born with our son.

Just want to say to everyone who commented and the poster of this
It been amazing reading everyone positive feedback with no negative comments
Make change from horrible comments ❤️

I really wanted a girl, but my SO, and his mom felt it was going to be a boy. I had 2 dreams it was going to be a boy. Had the blood test at 16w, said boy. Ultra sound at 20w also said boy. I really didn't care, just wanted a healthy baby. I'm hopeful I'll get my little girl the 2nd time around .

I wanted a girl too mainly because I wanted to name her after my grandmother (my son is the only great grandchild she never got to meet) and I felt that if it was a girl, a little part of my grandmother will be with her. Fast forward to now and I’m so happy to be a boy mom and he even has freckles just like my grandmother did (neither me or my fiancée have freckles)!! I know gender disappointment is a real thing but once he’s born, you’re going to forget about wanting a girl!

I have a girl and two boys I never realised how much I would love having boys but I love it so much and I’m so glad I’ve had boys. I genuinely believe we have what we are supposed to have.
My best friend had her two boys first then her two girls.

I definitely felt this, I was convinced I was having a girl and when I found out it was a boy I was quietly a little disappointed, but that completely went away after I gave birth. He’s a mama’s boy and I couldn’t imagine anything different. In fact I’m now expecting a girl and I can’t imagine that 😂

I experienced this.. I have a boy already and desperately wanted a girl this time round. Convinced myself I was having a girl and almost didn’t want find out Cos didn’t want to be disappointed if it was another boy... anyway I did find out and.... it’s another boy!!
I was so upset, but more upset that I was being so silly getting upset about something I have no control over, and knowing I should be soo grateful to have a healthy baby.
My best advise is allow your self to feel disappointment, honour your feelings then move on.
I am now beyond happy to be having another boy and can’t wait for my boys bond as they grow up together!

So I never found out gender until baby was born and throughout my while pregnancy I wanted a little girl because I wanted a mini me, I had a little boy, and he is more my mini me than I every thought possible and as time has gone on I couldnt imagine not being a boy mom

I think most women on here can probably say they have felt gender disappointment at some point in a pregnancy, like me for example, my 1st baby was a girl, the next 3 were all boys & we did an early gender dna test this time around n it was another boy lol I'm definitely not trying again anyways as I've gotten used to being a mum of 3 boys already n they such mummy's boys too xx

I had a baby girl first..then got pregnant again 3 mo pp. The pregnancy was COMPLETELY opposite of my first one and I really thought it was a boy and was so excited, they even told me around 17 weeks it looked like a boy. But she turned out to be a girl. I was pretty upset for awhile until I realized I didn't have to buy any more baby stuff and then when I finally saw her and got to hold her I completely forgot I wanted a boy

We really wanted a girl as our first baby. All the way up to 20 weeks we were convinced baby was a girl, he happily proved us wrong 😂 I was really disappointed my partner loved the idea of a son, teaching him about cars bikes and computers (he would of done it either gender) now my son is 1 he’s a total mummy’s boy and I absolutely love it! He’s my biggest fan always saying mum mum and running after me 😂 next baby we would like a girl, my partner wants to feel the same bond with a girl that I have with our son

I always wanted at least 1 boy & 1 girl. For whatever reason I always envisioned a girl then 2 boys. We opted to not find out with our first. I had a dream of a little boy with curly blonde hair which aligned with my instinct that it was a boy. He's now 5 & had the gorgeous curly blonde hair I dreamed about.

With our 2nd I was worried if we had another boy I'd face gender disappointment. I was worried about dealing with those feelings postpartum so I ask my partner if we could find out this before birth. We did the sneak peek test & found out we were having another boy. I thought I'd be disappointed but I think already having my first son & knowing the love & bond we have I was okay. If we go for a 3rd sure I'd love a girl but after having & loving these 2 wild boys I've been blessed with, another boy would be great too.

I haven’t experienced gender disappointment per say but when I first got pregnant with Baby C we knew she would be my last. Pregnancy makes me horrifically ill combined with my current medical issues ( I have to have a hysterectomy at the end of this pregnancy) and secondary infertility which I was told IVF was my only option ( we fell naturally while saving for IVF). I desperately wanted a girl, i wanted a healthy baby regardless but my heart honestly longed for a girl. My first born was a boy
the first granddaughter on my side of the family this generation was a pride thing for me too. I had nightmares that we would go for the scan and be told it was a boy and I felt like my whole world was going to drop out from under me. I’d fell in love with the idea that this baby was going to be a girl. I knew I’d love the baby all the same but desperately wanted a girl. It turns out I was actually pregnant with a girl and my gut and feelings had been right. But I also knew had it been a boy
