Heartbroken...

I prayed and prayed. Practically begged God to bless me with the one thing to complete my husband. I had 3 girls and one son prior. He had 3 girls prior. We hadour 1st baby girl together last year. Im 38. High risk. 6th and last pregnancy. 13 weeks. I get the call today with the gender revealing. And my heart fell to the floor when she said its a "girl".  Another girl...no chances of me ever being the one to carry his son.  The perfect man. Husband. And I cant give him that. Knowing that deep down he was soo hoping to have a son of his own.  I couldnt stop crying.  I know its not my fault or determination but the fact that I really wanted to give him that gift makes me feel like a looser that I cant and never will after this...

I am in the same boat I am 37 this is my 7th pregnancy and I have all boys I know I will be disappointed if this is a boy also I am 15 weeks now I haven't done my second ultrasound yet so hopefully. I was disappointed with my last one but got over it very fast when I started shopping and getting his things together I am going to get a tubal ligation after this baby so fingers crossed. You will get over it and love your daughter just as if she was the son you wanted

I felt the same when I found out I'm having a girl my third, me and my husband wanted a boy and it was so heart breaking to find out we are are having our third girl and as it is our last child . I'm still hurt but I guess seeing her little face will help me to accept. Let's just be happy we are having healthy babies, and It was God's will

I understand your disappointment, but just to put some perspective on it, I have friends going through IVF and the real heartbreak is attempt after attempt, month after month, year after year with no child at all. There are also women suffering miscarriage, and in my opinion, THAT is where the heartbreak is. Just imagine the emptiness of wanting even 1 child and not being able to. Please love the fact that you are blessed with another beautiful life. I'm not telling you off, just begging you to rethink your attitude. Good luck with the pregnancy :-)
