It's a girl!!

[tckr]

I am a ftm & 20 weeks. I had my ultrasound yesterday & found out I'm having a girl! I'm filled with so much emotion yet feel like it hasn't sunk in yet. 90% of ppl I know thought I was having a boy so it had me convinced that I was. Finding out that I'm actually having a girl makes me both happy but sad since my heart was so set on a boy. I'm still happy I'm having a girl but referring it as a "her" sounds so strange to me since for 20 weeks I referred it as a "he". Has anyone else gone through this? How did u deal with it & when did u finally accept it?

I suffered from gender disappointmnt. My entire family is all boys so everyone was hoping that I was gonna have a girl I had my heart set on a girl and when I found out it was a boy I was so upset it took me a couple weeks to get over it....but now I'm extremely excited. It just sux because people made me feel horrible about what I was feeling instead of being supportive. So many women are so quick to judge other women its horrible.  Just know that you will accept it and be happy about the gender even if it takes some time. Don't let people make you feel bad. Gender disappointment is very common it doesn't make you a bad person. You will love the baby no matter what.

Same boat here. I had a 3D ultrasound done at 15 weeks...we weren't convinced it was a boy. Had names picked out called him peanut and then they told us its a girl.... I'm still in shock about it and have my 20 week ultrasound at the doc on Aug 25th and it is bad I'm secret hoping they were wrong and doc will say boy?? Lol. I'm seriously happy either way as long as baby is healthy though lol

Thank you & congrats to u too. I'm sure ur right about it sinking in once I start buying things. I'm getting more excited day by day. I know I shouldn't care what sex it is, but I guess since everyone had my hopes up, I was disappointed when we were wrong. I know I'm gonna love my lil girl no matter what tho. She will b so loved and spoiled by both sides of our family.

Everyone has been telling me I'm having a boy. I'm only 14 weeks & not showing at all, so not sure why people assume they know what I'm having. I just want a happy, healthy baby. I'm in the same boat as you though. I know I'm pregnant, but it hasn't really sunk in yet. I think it will become more real when I start showing. You will start buying things, & soon it will sink in. I'm sure you will be an amazing mother & fill your daughter with so much joy!!!!! Congrats to you!!!!!
