kinda sad...

I want a girl so bad! I'm having my third boy in June and I know I'll love him but I want a little girl :( I read about ways that are supposed to help you have a girl (ie for the girl not to orgasm, man not to penetrate deeply when he ejaculates and to have sex two to three days before ovulation) but we can't afford another baby even in the next.few years and I can't take ANYTHING with hormones of ANY kind so it seems our only options would be vasectomy or tubes tying. I am just a little skeptical about that cause what if we can't get it reversed for whatever reason? I am just so sad I'm having a boy :( is that wrong?!

I feel the same but im having a girl and wanted a boy first then a girl. But I believe its what's ment to be. I feel blessed to be having a healthy baby after trying for 18months. I was
Always calling my baby him an he and although I shed a few tears at my second scan that I was having a girl I was a tiny bit gutted that she wasn't a boy and I thought after well maybe they have it wrong and I shouldn't be doubtful I need to be happy its a healthy baby. And I am very glad of that because thatt another worry in its self. You shouldn't feel bad theres lots of woman out there including me who have and feel the same way about finding out the sex. Before I got pregnant and even decided to have a baby I always said I do not want any girls I prefer boys and if I could choose it would only be boys but I have come round the idea that I will have a little princess and a little mini me and have a strong bond like I did with my mum. Its the best thing I enjoyed about my relationship with my mum we had such a great bond. You have 2 fantastic little boys now and I know you where set on having a girl but maybe in the future your curcumstances may change and could afford another child fingers crossed 4 a girl. Iv still hasn't sunk in properly im going to be a mum let alone have a daughter. Hopefully you may get your girl 1day you can dress up all pretty an have your own mini me

I know right where ur coming from, i have 3 boys and just found out 3weeks ago were having a 4th boy. i really thought it was a girl, i jad 2 MC in the last yr around 14 weeks. i was on peogesteone and i did everything the book how to choose the sex of ur baby and still its a boy. i cried in the US and i know my husband was disapointed to. it has now sank in and im getting more excited but i still feel that void in my heart will always be there! i dont see myself trying again as i dont think it wpuld be fair to my boys.

Its ok to feel a little dissapointed... I wanted a boy this time, because I allready have a little girl, but it seems like I'm expecting another girl... they did an ultrasound at 15 weeks and they said a girl, I'm really hoping that they are wrong! Don't get me wrong I'm excited about another baby, but somewhere deep in my heart I'm a little broken... let's just hope our babies are born healthy, that is the most important thing!!!

I feel the same here. At first they had told me it was a girl like i wanted but NO at 28 i went for a 4d and its a BOY! I have a 3 year old boy and the father of my second child has an 8 yr old boy we wanted a girl. I wanted to have girl talks and dress her up beautiful, have our girl times and go out. I can still go out with my boys but its different. But like my family tells me ill be the princess of the house lol..

No I felt the same with my second. I wanted a girl so bad because I already had a boy. But I had a feeling i was having a boy, and I did. I love my two boys and they play perfectly together(somedays). This go around I finally got my girl. I was determined I could only have boys. My fiance was highly disappointed that we are having a girl. He wanted another boy.

I'm due June 8
32w 6 d
I had a mc 2 months before getting pregnant ...
I was soo sure I was gonna have a girl until my dr told me different at 16 weeks of pregnancy... I was a little disappointed ... I truly believe I was having a girl... I believe the baby I lost at 6 weeks was gonna be a girl...
Sometimes I find my self thinking this baby is a girl ....their is no possibilities because I get an ultrasound at every dr visit...
I wanted a playmate for my 2 year old girl...=(
I have a 6 year old boy & 2 year old girl
But I'm still happy with a baby boy..=)

Thanks :] I just don't wanna keep popping out boys lol! My husband was actually very upset the day we found out it was a boy. He's happy now that he realized he can teach all three boys karate (he's a black.belt and instructor in Kara and he treats it like the.Bible) and they can spar each other lol but I just want a girl.so bad! I keep hoping they're wrong and he is actually a she lol

No it's not bad at all! I felt the same way, except I'm having our second girl. This will be our last because of the money to raise them as well, my husband is getting a vasectomy a month after she is born. We were going to wait 3 years but suprise so we didn't even have a chance to try any methods that help get a boy. I just want you to know your not the only one who has felt this way so don't feel bad for it.

I was a little disappointed when I found out I was having a girl. So no I don't think it's bad. What's more frustrating is it seems like EVERYONE else is having boys EXCEPT me. But I've grown fond of the thought of having a little mini me.
