Gender disappointment. How do you deal with gender disappointment? I have a son and a daughter and…

Not sure but maybe once your baby is born you will love him and not even be thinking of this.

It just takes time. Don’t beat yourself up.

I think with time it get better try to think of possitive tboughts abouy it dont feel terrible it happens and ull get over it,

This was me in December. We desperately wanted a girl. And I couldn't understand why I was crying so much. I already loved my baby no matter what, so what gives?

Then I realized...I was grieving. I had "lost" the idea of what my family would be. Yes I had gained a new outlook, but it's hard to let that go! So I allowed myself to grieve for the daughter I wasn't having. Which honestly...I'm now able to enjoy the prospect of another boy that much more now.

Also, my husband and I had a conversation and despite his "jokes" that we were done having kids, he says he is more than open to talking about a third someday. Whether I have one or we adopt a baby girl.

It just passes. I have 4 boys. When both twins were boys, we both felt like we’d “lost” something. We had names for a girl, we planned on a girl. Our whole relationship before kids, we wanted 2 boys and a girl. Now that they’re all here, we love our boys. We truly wouldn’t trade them for anything, but we had to change our perspective on what our family was going to be like.

I still have moments where I think what if my daughter would’ve been a boy? How different might my experience have been?? I even feel like her father would be in her life if she had been a boy honestly. We both wanted a boy, but now he’s absent. And she is my sassy, headstrong, beautiful little girl. I was terrified to have a girl because of them one day having periods, having to deal with boys, growing up and being bratty/sassy, and they’re soooo freaking expensive😩. She has so much personality already and it definitely has me nervous for when she’s older because wheeeww I don’t want a little cutie with an attitude lol. I always wanted a boy first and I wanted a mama’s boy 😩. I don’t know if you’re spiritual at all, but I believe God makes no mistakes. And she is what I needed. I just try to see the positives. Even though I feel her father would be around if she were a boy, I think it also would’ve been toxic for him to be around because our parenting styles are definitely not the same (he has two other children).. And another positive I choose to look at is, that she is the only granddaughter for my parents. They desperately wanted me to have a girl, even though I wished with all my might for a boy. And now they have two grandsons (one on the way) and one granddaughter (my baby) and so she is spoiled rotten because of it lol. I cried when the doctor told me she was a girl and I just have my moments thinking of what my son would’ve looked like .. But I can’t help but love her for who she is, because she makes her mark and she makes it BIG.! I believe they are who they are meant to be, and for a reason. Just choose to see those reasons when your beautiful baby boy gives them to you because I promise he will! It’s ok for your baby girl to be the only princess 👑. It will get easier mommy. Stay strong ❤️

The disappointment will go away. I have 6 boys and they r truly a blessing
