Yes, but in reverse!

I understand your fears. I have 2 girls fully thought I was expecting another, thrilled at the idea of 3 cute girls. No clue how to handle a boy. And Lo and behold it's a boy! I had tears of happiness as I was told because he's healthy and do you know my boy fears will be ok. And it will be similar for you because it's your child and there's nothing you won't do for your child. Good luck xxx

I know exactly what you mean. I have 2 girls and 4 step daughters and I want a boy so badly I'm afraid how I'll feel if I have another girl. I Know it won't be on purpose but I just want that bond a son has with his mom sooooo badly it hurts.

I'm having a boy and I worried about raising him. The relationship with the babies father is in limbo. I worry on the things like,"how would be teach him to pee, teach him how to be a man, would I baby him to much and so much other stuff. I'm such a girlie girl. I love dresses...I just own 1st or of jeans. If I was have a a girl it would be so much easier. However I'm Happy That God blessed me with a baby.

@needaprince Awe, I have to say I.dont have a girl, so I.dont know what its like however when I was pregnant with my son.6 years ago I.desperatly wanted girl. I never would have imagined 6 years later HOW in love you can be with another human being. So much so I.want another little boy so bad. But if I do have a girl, I would be just as fortunate .

@mamasitabonita I totally understand where youre.comming from. If it makes you feel any better, my sons father amd I split when.he was 18 months, I never once worried about handling man things with him,it just Came.naturally. I dont think.you have to.worry. Your mother instincts will do the work for you. (:

My DH wants a healthy baby...I do to. But I want a boy because he will be the only one to carry the family name on after our generation. But I also want a girl because there would be again, four generations of women on my side.

Oh the joys of having kids....maybe we will have two one of each and get the best of both worlds! Although DH only wants one kid.

I understand what you're feeling. We have a ds that is 3 (will be almost 4 when baby arrives). We had been trying for another baby since he was 9 months old and I so badly wanted another boy for him to play with. Now, however, since it took us over 2 years to get pregnant I am hoping for a girl as I believe this will probably be our last child. Certainly above all I want a healthy baby and would love a boy just as much but if I'm being honest I would love to have one of each. Only time will tell, but I do feel bad because I am so set on it being a girl that if they say "you're having a boy" I may be a bit dissapointed at first. I know that feeling will go away once it settles in, but I can't help but feel horrible for even thinking about it.

I would love either!! Everyday I flip flop back in forth on what I want. LOL Today it is girl! :-) My husband wants a son first, then a princess! He will be a great daddy to a little girl or son...but I just know a baby girl will hold such a special place in his heart. He is the most manily man, yet sensitive man I have ever met. It's the BEST combo!! He cooks, bakes, benches 400lbs, 6ft.1in., devilishly handsome, loves bubble baths, drag races, loves animals and babies. GOSH, can you tell we are newly weds. Totally in love. PLUS, he is an amazing daddy to our fur princess. I love it!

If we have a son, I hope he is a carbon copy of my DH!!! I'll help raise him to treat women with respect. We are also one of the last hopes in carrying on our last name! And everyone reminds us of that. LOL I wish they wouldn't, it's not up to us! We are having two and whatever we get, we get, AND we'll be happy!!!

It's not 100% yet, but between my last u/s and a lot of the things I've been reading lately, I feel like i am carrying a girl. I'm having conflicting emotions about this. For one, I was a tomboy growing up, only had male friends, and I like more "boy" things (video games, super heroes, etc....yes I am 30). Also, growing up, it was just me and my mom, and I know how hard a mother/daughter relationship can get. In my older years I got really "girly", and I started to get excited about having a mini me. I'm not looking for a response, just wanted to vent because I feel awful for not just being happy and grateful. But until I married my husband, I really never thought about having kids, and when people would ask me about kids, I would just tell them I wanted a boy because I'd be more comfortable. I feel like I have no idea what to do with a little girl. :-/

All of you should be ashamed. Be thankful you can have healthy babies. Gender should not matter.

paine0925 · March 2015

I think it's also important to remember that just because the baby is a certain gender does not mean they are going to have those specific gender stereotypes. I was always a tomboy and out in the garage helping my dad do projects and playing sports and doing all of those things that his own son never did. I was never into dolls and Barbies and things like that. So for me I don't care if it's a boy or girl because their personalities can be so different than what you actually expect them to be and I just want them to be an individual and I'm excited to see what their personality will be like!

I have 2 girls, both of which I knew the minute I found out I was pregnant that they would be girls, mother's instinct is stupidly strong in this one lol I even fought an US tech with my first! I told her she owed me $5 for being wrong

I had that exact same emotion this time, like I have "known" since I found out I was expecting that she would be a girl. We don't find out until Tuesday for sure and I am so scared of having a boy! I don't know why

but I totally feel you, Momma.

I have three boys so we were REALLY hoping that this surprise baby would be our girl. But it's another boy

I would love to experience parenting a girl, but also because we have three boys with issues already, the geneticist told us this boy likely will have them too. (ADHD, spectrum disorder, sensory issues, ODD, learning disabilities etc.). Boys are MUCH prone to have issues than girls, so had it been a girl we might have been ok, but with a boy we will most likely have to deal with all these issues for a 4th time, and it's NOT easy.
