ultrasound gender results :(

[Jrosa124]

So this morning I had an ultrasound. I'm 17 weeks 5 days and was expecting to have a girl and it turns out I'm having another boy :'( my son who is 5 also wanted a baby sister..I want to feel happy but I can't help but feel disappointment. Has anyone gone thru the same thing? How do you cope?

Thanks ladies I think it will take sine time since I kept telling myself it was a girl I had 3 different names in mind and a theme...boys are too rough for me and they dibt grow up to be so attached to their moms..I wanted wat I have with my mom n sister...plus my son wants a lil sister so its something we both have to accept..I wanted to make 2 my limit but it looks like im not satisfied n would prolly want to try one more time in a few yrs even tho my husband doesn't want anymore... but thanks for the advice I'm sure this feeling will pass soon

I'm 27w6d and have a 3 year old son, I was reallllly expecting another boy, and kind of got my head wrapped around another boy, and was very surprised to find out it was a girl, as ecstatic as I am about having a little girl for ME, I'm kind of sad my son won't get the bond he'd get with a brother, or that two sisters get, since we're pretty sure this is our last, both of my kids won't have the same gender to play with, cars for boys, dress up for girls, if that makes sense? If you do decide to have more children, I hope you all get your little girls, but as long as everything is healthy, that's really all that matters, and it's normal to feel some disappointment, it will pass!

i'm the same . i really wanted a girl instead of another boy , so the first day we found out i was upset & until we had another ultrasound that showed it was a boy better then the first , i still wanted a girl bad &.was hoping it was a mistake . but now , i'm okay with it . it'll be easier because we still have everything from our first boy , our first will have a brother he can play with & teach things to easier then if he was having a sister & it makes my husband happy so it makes me happy . i still want a girl , but i guess we just have to wait our turn .

i have 2 boys now and we are on our 3rd for my second one i kinda wanted another little boy so that way when i have a girl i hope this one she would have 2 brothers to look after her.  but as long as everythign is healthy i wound't mind a 3rd boy

I went through exactly the same thing. My son is 5, im 37+5 with another boy. I was devastated, absolutly gutted. I dont want to have anymore so was desperate for a mini me. Now im getting used to saying "my boys" and i love it. Youl get used to it.
