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 understand you're disappointed, but really, you should be happy that you've been able to have children at all. There are women out there who try for years, any would give anything to just have one, you have what. ..4 children, pregnant with your 5th?And you're whining about it being a girl, be happy God blessed you with children, you could be like the many people out there who are infertile.  My husband an I are going for a girl, but you know what, I will be over the moon no matter what gender they tell me. It's been 2 years we've been trying.
