3 boys baby#4 on the way how do u deal with comments about it having to be a girl

[jackie_4]

I recently found out I am pregnant with baby number four..we have three wonderful boys and am excited for a healthy baby...however because we have three boys everyone is already talking about it being a girl so I am hesitant to tell everyone because I hate it when people make comments like that..does anyone else deal with this?? I just want a healthy baby no matter what it is!!

Am sure we both will :)

That's exactly how I feel this is for sure our last baby and I just want to enjoy it :)

I know how you feel totally and they don't do it to be mean but I don't think they truly realise the effect the comments can have on someone who is pregnant and emotionally unstable. I honestly dont know if I do want a girl or not and am certain I am not bothered either way. It's my last pregnancy and am happy to have nature's greatest surprise on the day I am due (or thereabouts lol) Am just going to ignore them this time and enjoy the experience as its my last time to enjoy it :)

That's exactly how I feel I don't think people do it to be mean but sometimes I just wish people would keep their comments to themselves...don't get me wrong I would love to have a girl but ultimately the goal is a healthy baby!!

I am also pregnant with #4 and have 3 wonderful boys. During my last pregnancy, even though I told people I wasnt bothered either way, all people said was "awww you'll want a girl" or "you'll have to have a girl this time" so much so to the point I had nightmares about having a lil boy and abandoning him at the hospital as soon as I gave birth! Was awful :(  Turned out he was another gorgeous lil boy and is such a delight, so this time, when I tell people, am preparing for the "girl comments" better and not going to let them get to me like last time. Will tell people  a boy would actually be easier as I saved everything from his brother (who is now 16 months) so am all prepped for a boy :P

Yeah I complain too its just hard because during my last pregnancy I got so mad when I would tell people I was having another boy and people would actually say they were sorry and I always felt like they acted like there was something wrong with the baby...I am represent to either not find out or if I do find out to just keep it to myself because if it doesn't matter to me I hate that it matters to other people....

I'm in the same boat baby #4 due June9 and I have 3 boys already. Everyone wants a girl! My kids my family even my husband. I just remind everyone that I actually have no controle over it voice all complaints to dad.
