Hi mamas! - I will likely have to wait at least 3 more months to find out the gender of my baby but I can't help but wonder if I am the only woman desperately hoping it's a little girl ... am I bad to be hoping for this SO badly ? I know everyone says they would be happy with either gender but ... I want a mini-me, always have. I will love my baby no matter the gender but am I alone here? Are there any moms that experienced this and had a baby boy? Maybe you can help me see things in a better light... Please try not to judge my honesty about wanting a girl- I feel guilty enough being so bias... Lol
Dreaming of having a baby girl, I have 6 younger siblings and found the girls so much easier to help with and now that I'm having my own I'd honestly prefer a girl but love my baby either way
I really want a girl.. im dreaming of going shopping for little girl clothes and all.. but if i have a boy the only thing i'll be disapointed about is not having to shop for anything since i still have all of my son's clothes..
Thanks moms ! I feel SO much better... And more prepared to handle the news when I find out. Xo!
Don't feel bad. I was told about 12 weeks I might be having a boy. Was happy of course. Then anatomy scan came along and it was a little girl. I was super excited because like you I wanted a mini me haha don't worry about gender disappointment it happens
Girl I felt the exact same way....i wanted a mini me! We picked a name, color scheme, theme and everything for a Girl! It felt so right and we were so excited (my bf wanted a girl also). At 13 weeks we found out I'm having a boy....i cried...several times...and it didnt help that I could tell my bf was disappointed also. I felt ashamed to be so disappointed and everyone was telling me I was a horrible person for feeling depressed and distant from the baby growing inside of me. I didn't feel the bond with the baby anymore. Not that I didn't love him...i just didn't know how to feel. Gender disappoint is a real thing and effects alot of women. Most the time when mommas try to reach out bc of it they get slammed with judgment. "Just be grateful you have a healthy baby" was what I got anytime I talked about it. Some people actually accused me of being abusive and neglectful of my child just bc I was struggling at that exact moment!!! I love my son and the closer he is to coming, the more excited I get! Don't feel guilty! You'll be a great, loving, caring mother no matter the gender.
I wanted a boy always....when I found out I was pregnant with a girl (first baby) I was heartbroken....wanted that boy so bad but I found a good way to cheer myself up was to go or and find some cute girl clothes and that got me on board a bit more with the idea. When I was pregnant for the second time....I didn’t care if it was a girl or a boy. I loved having a girl so much that I would’ve done it all over again, I ended up with a boy the second time and I’m thrilled about my family. My husband and mom were shocked at my reaction when I found out my first was a girl....but you can’t help how you feel 😘
@katyejordyn thanks for your honesty !!! :) i dont feel so alone now haha and congrats she's so cute!
So we were told at an early ultrasound that we were having a little boy. We were both incredibly excited and obviously we loved him right away. BUT come to find out at our anatomy scan, we were ACTUALLY having a baby girl. The immediate and overwhelming joy I felt was crazy. I never knew how badly I truly wanted a girl until then. Of course I would have loved my boy either way, but it was clear which one I wanted more. Don’t feel guilty, it’s normal to lean toward one gender more than the other. You will love them no matter what anyway ☺️
@newmama.-. I feel the same way! I find out tomorrow 👶🙊
