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 ☺️
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
