Disappointed by gender?

I cried at my 20 week ultrasound when they said we were having a boy. I really wanted a little girl. Gender disappointment is real. My son is 5 now and I love him more than anything 💙 Sending huge hugs mama x

I was disappointed when I learned the gender of my baby. Give it some time you’ll get over it.

It’s my dream to have a little baby girl. I know that I will probably feel a slight pang of disappointment if they tell me the baby is a boy but on the other hand everyone in my family is hoping for a baby boy !

Oh my husband and I were definitely disappointed that baby #2 is another girl since most likely this will be our last baby due to me having terrible HG with both pregnancies. We are still happy and blessed and love our unborn daughter so much just very disappointed still lol

Yes! I had hoped for a little girl, and got a boy. I cried for a week after the ultrasound. I was crushed.... but my little boy is THE sweetest, most amazing boy I have ever met and looking back, I wish I would have just known that when I met me baby, he would be mine. And I would never again be upset that he was a boy. ♥️

When we had our gender reveal and it was pink I cried because I really wanted a boy. My family is all girls mostly. But my baby girl is the best thing ever and I wouldn’t change anything for the world.

However, I do hope baby #2 is a boy🤣

I really want a girl (me and my mom) but everyone is telling me it’s a boy. Even my baby father wants a boy. I’m only 14 weeks and haven’t confirmed a gender yet but I’d be be crushed if it turns out to be a boy and I feel really bad about it. Everything in me feels like it’s a girl but it’s my first baby so I cld be wrong. Sorry for the ramble but you’re not alone lol

I already have a 4 year old girl from my ex. We wanted a boy so I could get my tubes tied then be done but we are having another girl so I don't think im ready to get my tubes tied now

My fiancé was disappointed when we found out it was a girl. He already had a daughter and wanted a son as he wasn't planning on having anymore children.

Yes, but it only lasted for some days until we got used to the idea.
Now my partner and I couldn’t be more happy we are having our girl ❤️

Thanks you to all for being honest and speaking about this. We have decided to keep the gender a surprise but I know which I would like it to be more. I have two names I live for a girl and only one for a boy that just like. So hoping for a girl

Totally feel this. When we did our gender reveal party, everybody was hoping for a girl (because between me and my husband we have 3 boys already) including me. We did a live video on Facebook for those that were not able to attend and I was visibly upset to find out we were having a boy. I quickly got over it though and blessed to just be having another baby. We've struggled for so long.

I have 2 boys and am now pregnant with a girl. This isn’t a helpful comment for you but honestly, you couldn’t ask for anything more than a healthy baby!! My boys are 7 and 5 and 2 years ago, we were having another little boy. We found out at a 16 week scan that he was a boy but also that he wouldn’t survive long (if at all) after birth as he only had 1 lung. We had to make the awful decision to terminate the pregnancy and I had him at 19 weeks. I would’ve given anything for him to be ok!! We have been blessed with a healthy girl and I’m due to have her very soon.
I hope you come to terms with the gender and I honestly hope everyone around you is just over the moon that your baby is healthy. X

This is y I am waiting til the baby comes to know the gender I have 2 boys and praying for a girl If I have another boy I would be sad the rest of my pregnancy so I just decided to wait!!

I was hoping for a girl this time! I was so convinced it was too, cause it felt so different than my first boy, but As a lil time passed, the idea of two lil crazy boys seemed more n more fun :)

I was soooo relived and happy it was a girl coz my MIL said she would move in us if it was a boy. And my MIL is not a normal person, she is a monster in law. Other than that I didn’t care about the gender.

I feel this. I really wanted a girl, plus my husbands family is full of boys. We just found out I'm having a boy and I couldn't help but be disappointed. I know I'll still love him and I'm still excited but I'm still saddened to not have a girl

I was abit disappointed when I found out I was having another boy but the most important thing is that the baby is healthy. Once I had picked a name that helped me start bonding with him more.

I was upset when I found out my last baby was a girl. I lost my baby girl at 26 weeks. & a couple months I find out I’m pregnant again. The whole time I prayed it wasn’t a girl. I had thoughts of “it’s not fair to my baby I lost” “if it is a girl, feels like I’m replacing her” those thoughts crossed my mind. Weeks later I found out she is a girl. The overall experience of being pregnant was stressful on me, not knowing if she would be ok. But here we are a year later & love my little monkey so much! Drives me bat shit crazy but the moment she was born all those feelings went away. I just always make sure to tell her about her big sister

I have 4 boys so totally understand 😞

I tried explaining this to my husband the other day... we have not found out yet but my daughter from a previous marriage passed from sids and I will be emotional sad if its a girl... I really want a boy he said he will be happy with either... its hard to explain...

Feeling the same way 😒 don’t get me wrong I’m so happy and excited I’m having another boy, even though me and my spouse prayed for a girl. But at first when I found out I was so confused and a little disappointed... I didn’t want to tell my bf it’s a boy but I surprised him and he was still happy. But not his family.

I wanted to see how they would react if I told them I was finally having a girl, so I decided to send one of those “false” gender ultrasound pictures to his family. They were all happy and excited, calling both of our phones almost crying ....
Then I we told them the right gender, no one looked happy. They just said “awww well next time hopefully “
No congratulations or it’s okay we still love the baby. No I’m still excited, nothing

Gender disappointment is real I had it finding out I was having a girl I wanted and boy so badly have the name picked out clothes everything. All signs even pointed to boy. It gets better in time I promise. Everyone is going to be excited regardless of what you’re having I promise.

My partner had always wanted a baby girl💖but we found out at my 20 week scan that we are having a boy💙 I've always wanted to have a boy then a girl as I was an only child until I hit 21 and I always wanted an older brother now my little boy will get to be one in the future and I can't wait for him to be here even my partner has come around to the idea of it being a boy x

We’re not finding out the gender for this reason. I lost my mum 3 years ago to cancer and I really want that mother/daughter bond, but I’m convinced I’m having a boy, so I’ve been coming around to the idea. I know I’ll love it either way x

That happen to me , 😭 gender dessapointed is real I have 4 boys

Be happy with what you’ve been blessed with. I’m sorry but I really don’t understand this whole gender disappointment. It’s really sad. There are so many woman out there who can’t have children and now there’s this whole talk about being disappointed with the gender. If this is how the world is going I don’t think we should be allowed to find out. I found out the other day we are having a boy. I feel truly blessed especially because I got told I might not be able to have children. He is our rainbow baby. I really wouldn’t care what I’m Having as long as it’s healthy xxx

Yes we were disappointed that after we had twin boys we found out that we were having another boy lol it's normal you'll love your baby just as much i call are youngest our lucky charm 💙

With my 2nd everyone kept telling me, I hope it is a girl. Like come on, how is that helpful or nice. You end up feeling like if you have a boy everyone is let down. Then add on top that you may have a preference and it makes not getting the gender you hope for even worse. It is totally normal to have a preference and to be disappointed when it ends up being the opposite of what you wanted. Once she arrives it will all melt away.

Gender disappointment is real, but also know it passes. For me finding out my second and final was another boy sucked because we really wanted a girl. I hated looking at girl things and seeing announcements for girls. But I started to get over it more and more as it got closer to my due date. I also found this amazing blogger with 4 boys and seeing how happy they were made me happy with my own family too. Now my little boy is resting in my arms and we couldn’t be happier with our two little boys :) you’ll see, I promise.

My heart dropped when I found out I was having another girl 3 days ago. 🤣🤣🤣I wanted a boy so badly. I was definately disappointed! I did the sneak peak and when I opened up that email and saw that pink float across the page I slammed the laptop shut like oh hell no!!! 🤣🤣🤣

i hoped for a boy and they told me it was a girl 2 days before so i could get over it in time
aslong as the baby is healthy

I was upset on the scan,but when my daughter was born it didn't matter at all. And after 2 years I am so glad to have a girl.(:

I know what you mean. This is my first and most likely only child. I'll be happy whatever gender but I know a part of me will be sad of it's not a girl as I've always pictured myself with a little girl

Yes. I have two girls too. The second was a surprise and I was convinced it was a boy. When she was born I was disappointed. You will still love the baby just the same. I think it's normal. Now my girls are best friends.

Lol I just found out a couple days ago I was having another boy! I was upset because I wanted a girl but my bf wanted a boy ! Lol it’s ok tho I’m just meant to be a boy mom !!

No! I'm grateful no matter what she was gonna be! Thats all that matters imo.
