Gender Disappointment

I feel you. I felt the same way when I got my NIPT results but the feeling went away as soon as it comes. As the pregnancy progress, I regret for feeling sad because of the gender. Bcos I realise there’s so many things that are more impt than gender (eg: health). Also, I felt the bond between the bb & myself strengthen with time. And now that I can feel the bb kick and even see the bb face in the 3D scan, I can’t imagine having another gender for my baby. All I want is this baby that I’m carrying. I believe it will be a temporary feeling. Don’t blame urself. The baby is a god’s gift ☺️

I too wanted a girl so bad but i have 2 sons. Tried whatever methods to conceive a girl but lo and behold, another son. Tbh, I was disappointed. And I regretted it. Our sons are the best gifts in the world. If you show them love and care unconditionally, one day, they are the ones who will protect and stand up for you. Strong men. Likewise a girl. Any gender is a bless. Being able to get pregnant is a bless. So dont worry. They are our flesh and blood no matter what gender. Hugs. Enjoy your pregnancy and the handsome bundle of joy! 💕 Maybe you try watch korean dramas with handsome actors. Hahaha.

i was hoping for a girl and was told i was having a boy. was a bit disappointed at first but it didnt make me feel any lesser love for my baby. i guess it is normal to have a preferred gender but important to always remind ourselves that a baby is a blessing and there are other things more important than gender, for example, health and wellbeing of the baby. i still do sometimes look at baby girl's clothes and will quietly and jokingly ask my unborn baby, "can you surprise me by being a girl instead?" hahaha i hope you accept it soon and be happy!!

i like girls, hubs like boy, we leave it to fate, and ended up with a girl.. during the preggy period, we realised, it's not abt having boy or girl impt.. is more into health and labour and after labour more impt.. esp each trimester test.. waiting for report news.. always leave our heart hanging.. overall it came out well.. so we believed as long lil bun is healthy, gender dun really matter during the process. buck up mummy, dun be sad! ♡

I was hoping for a girl too but my baby is a boy. When you think of how many others, perhaps your circle of friends or mutual friends who struggle to get pregnant, you will be thankful. You know their struggles yet here you are pregnant and thinking this way towards your baby. You can always try for the next one! Try not to feel that way ok. There are more important things to worry about like a healthy baby etc. always think positive!

I wanted a boy, after scan i realized it was a girl. I admit i was a little disappointed but still, God is the one that determines right? We can't choose. When my girl came out, i enjoyed every moment with her. The love towards her is so precious. Don't think too much, after your baby is out, you will find him so precious that u regret thinking this way (i felt this way).

I was upset when my mum's colleague predicted that im hving a BOY at 1st trimester when all i wanted was a GIRL in the first plc . I told myself bfore , i wanted a boy for the next generarion . As my late maternal g-ma , my mum and myself is the first daughters , therefore i tot i could have a boy next .. Dont be down okay .. =)

Hi there mummy! There is nothing wrong to have a preferred gender. However, when you think of other couple who tried to conceive for so long. Up to the extend of feeling desperate, i can promise you, they don't mind anymore as long as the child is healthy. In short, thankfulness will help you accept. :)

We both don't have any preferred gender. We didn't want to know the gender during the scan as we want it as a surprise for both pregnancies. Now we have 1 boy and 1 girl. Any gender is fine as long as they are healthy. Just think what if you can't conceive. Just be thankful and enjoy the pregnancy.

We also wanted a girl but got a boy, and we are unlikely to have another one. But as our baby boy grows older, we also grow to love him more each day. Sometimes boys are easier to handle, my boy eats a lot, doesn't have colic, and doesn't have skin issues as well.
