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 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!
