Do you feel guilty for....

newlywed26

secretly really wanting a certain gender.  Of course either way I'm thrilled as long as baby is healthy, but I'm not going to lie.  It would be so nice to have a little girl.  Then I feel guilty for even having a preference.  Any one else?

No, i wouldn't feel guilty.......you won't care either way once you find out what LO is going to be.

Well I know above all I want a healthy child. So I don't feel any guilt knowing I want a little girl. We already have a little boy so a girl would be a nice change.

The most important thing is a healthy baby, but we are gender wishing for a boy   If we don't have one this time, we try for baby #3.

I kind of wanted a girl because it would be my moms first granddaughter. We are having a boy and I am still thrilled. The second time around I will probably want a girl because it will be our last but again I will be happy even if it is a boy.

I think it's normal for people to have a preference, despite knowing you will be happy either way.

Nope, I wanted the baby to be OK...AND a girl. I got both. DH wanted a boy, I def do not want a boy, ever. This is our last child.

I think everyone has a bit of a preference.  I would love another boy, more for DS than myself, but if it's a girl that would be so much fun, too.

my big problem with the big u/s was the tech couldnt tell me if the baby was normal.  i wasnt worried about the weight and size and all that. just tell me if the baby is looks to be doing ok.  that and she did tell me i was having a boy, i was upset at first, because i just dont know how to raise a boy. ive already done a girl.  im just a little scared.  but now im ok and looking forward to it.

I feel a little bad that I am really excited for our little girl.  DH really wanted a boy and I got on that bandwagon.  He was really disappointed when we found out we're having a girl.  I really even thought I was going to have a boy.  But I was SO excited for my daughter.  Honestly though, I think I would have been excited either way.

Nope, not one bit.  I really wanted a girl with DD and I would love another girl... but I would never be disappointed for a boy.  I think there is a big difference between hoping for something or throwing a fit for not getting what you want... if that makes sense?

 Don't they look at those things specifically so they can tell you if the baby is ok and everything is normal?

thats what i thought. i guess they dont hire u/s techs that can understand those kinda things at the hospital i am forced to use (military), said i had to wait for my appointment with my doctor so she could read it and tell me what was going on.  atleast its only a few more days before that day.

As long as under it all you really mean this, then I think you can go ahead and prefer away, guilt free
