Gender Disappointment

I did NIPT and know that my baby is a boy. I’ve been hoping for a girl all my life and I couldn’t help but to feel very sad. I felt like I did not do my best to conceive a girl and disappoint myself. I can’t imagine myself with a boy. Is there anybody who has been through this same issue and is there anyway to make oneself feel better? Update: My boy is 4 months old already! It’s been a wonderful journey for us. The gender doesn’t matter anymore as he’s the most beautiful angel I’m blessed with. He’s so adorable and always bringing a smile to everyone he meets. To moms who are having gender disappointment.. it takes time to accept the fact but I assure you that it’ll be the best feeling when you finally meet your baby. 😘

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).
