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 dont think you should feel bad.. we cant choose gender and even make or work harder for whichever gender... Be happy that at least we got a baby to love..
