Aa
Can I be frank?
May be I shouldnt be thinking like this. But i want to share the truth and the feeling.
I think I may be having a girl as my Due date is very close to Nicmom [15-Sep] and she has a girl.
I wanted a boy as life of a girl is full of sacrifices,compromises and itz so difficult. I dont want my baby to go through all this and thus wanted a boy.
Most of my symptoms are that of a girl, though iv become a sweet craver now..which ppl say could be a boy's symptoms!
I want to be glad and welcoming for whatever baby God has decided for me as I believe in his decision completely.And I love baby girls...why do i still feel like this.
Need some counselling ladies..pl reply.

Thanks so much ladies! Its lovely to be able to share my feelings so frankly in this forum and that too to get a conclusion out of my worry.
Im convinced after reading all your posts that gender doesnt really matter and i think I will be welcoming even if i have a little princess in my arms :-)
Thanks for the lovely compliment Juana.
Good luck to all of us..& thanks so much for sharing all your experiences with me and also that you too have been thinking it was a boy.
Nicmom, i hope you didnt mind me giving your ref in my post?
love,
radhika!

I agree with everyone above. I can't really speak on the subject, because I don't have any children of my own yet, but as a parent, you can only instill good values and ethics in your children. You train them up to be respectful and pray they will always carry that with you, but you can not guarantee that they will always be that way. Don't worry about the future, only God knows what will come of it. Just from reading your other posts to me and others, I believe you will be an excellent mother!
Speaking of the "joys of boys," let me share-- this morning was a rough morning at my house, getting everyone ready for school and I was on my kids back, big time, about dragging around and making us late... Well my 16 y.o. son proceeded to tell me calmly (LOL) to "shut the h*ll up" ...
My day has been ruined ever since. I can't get the sound of him saying that to me out of my head. Sure, kids are going to cuss secretly, maybe, but to say that to his mom, what was he thinking! And i promise, he's a pretty good kid, generally. I am in shock of this coming from him. So now, I have to take his car keys away for a while. I hope he learns his lesson.
So, all you ladies that say you were hellions growing up, putting your parents through the ringer, etc... well trust me boys are/can be a handful too!
It's understandable to dream of this and dream of that. I think it's very compassionate of you, Radhika, to be concerned for your possible daughter. But just keep in mind that at the end of the day, whether they are boys or girls, they are truly the best blessing ever. And we are all very lucky. We just have to do the best we can with them/for them, and cover them in prayer.
We just have to brace ourselves for the tough times, and do the best we can.
(((hugs)))

I wanted a boy at first and i felt like i was carring a boy deep down inside. As time went on, i was thinking wow, it would be so cool to have a mini me:) lol. I use to think it would be more difficult to raise a girl, but the truth of the matter is, its hard wit both sexes, boy or girl. I gave my parents hell and my son has took me threw the ringer a few times. He is 13 going on 14 and his hormones are up there, and i fear him getting someone preggo, even though when most girls have babies, the babies go home wit the mom. Well we was not raised like that, what you bring into this world you take 100 percent responsibilty, and i have instilled that in my child. I just hope he takes all the info and all the talks we had and make the right decesions, im just glad he trust me enough to come to me and tell me about his urges and feelings, and i will instill the same things into this little princess we are having.
I just wanted to say, sacraficies you will have to make with either gender, i cant lie, my son is a Mommas Boy and very spoiled. But its normal to feel how u are feeling but when you find out the gender it will sink in and the joy will be flowing out.

I agree w/ NicMom. I have 1 boy and 4 girls and I just love girls!!! They are the sweetest things on earth (well they are when they are little). You can have problems w/ either teenage boys or girls. To me, the gender does not matter in that dept. And I think it is simple instinct to want to protect our kids no matter girl or boy. We never want them to go through life's hurts or disappointments and I think to feel that way is normal. I can only hope that one day they too (my kids) will have families and experience the same joys that they give me. I hope that will make up for any of life's hurts and disappointments.
Don't feel bad I was praying for a boy. I have a son and I know what to expect with boys, plus I was horrible as a teenager and put my mom through so much stress. I'm so afraid that my daughter is going to do that to me.
When I found out I was having a girl I was so excited it all went right out the window. I'm still nervous about raising her, but I think that's the case with any child. I know with my son that I have to raise him to be a man some day who will have responsibilities in life. It's the same for girls I want all my children to be well rounded in life and above all else happy. I'm going to teach my daughter the same lessons my mom passed on to me.
If you are a strong and confident woman then you'll pass that on to a boy or a girl. I bet you'll be excited either way.
