She needs to see a professional about this strong reaction and get her back into a good head space before the bub is born.

Be happy with either sex as long as it is healthy.

Poor things im sure she will love the little bundle of joy regardless when it’s earth side

Oh that’s so hard. I tried to find the silver lining. I’ve got 2 girls and although it’s nice for the parents to have 1 of each, I think it’ll be nice for the girls to have eachother when growing up.

I always wanted another girl for my first born so that she could have someone to confide in if she couldn’t with me, have someone to shop with and someone to go and eat with if her friends are busy.
I’ve always envied my girlfriend with sisters as I saw how close they were even if they had a best friend, their sister would be over to help with the kids at all hours of the night and day and they could always ask them to babysit or whatever so when I found out I was having a boy I did have a pang of disappointment.
When he was born though I couldn’t love him any less.
I just hope that they are close and become good friends when they are growing up.

This would-be difficult, but it was always going to be a 50/50 chance isn’t it! I’m sure it changes after the birth when you’re holding your little bundle in your arms

Nope not here

Depressed before the baby is even born, poor thing is not going to be a happy baby boy

I think the gender reveals are getting over the top. Back when I had kids it was a suprise at the end

I understand the deep desire to have your very own mini me. I always wanted a baby girl after having my 1st son John a week before my 19th birthday. My 2nd little angel was again a boy. Then my ex and I decided to try for a girl, things were going well att and I eventually fell pregnant again, I found out I was having Twins so I was super excited and thinking yet, now I’ve got two chances of having a girl …….. two gorgeous boys were in my tummy. I did feel a ping of disappointment when I had my gender reveal scan but that lasted a few moments before I relised I was just meant to be a mum of boys and I absolutely Love my boys. When I had my twin boys whom are now 6, I had post pardum cardiomyopathy so I was supposed to have my tubes tied and I was told my heart could fail . After a nasty split with my ex , I didn’t think I would ever have anymore kids but after 2 years after my ex and I separated for good, I met a lovely man and fell pregnant with my 5th and final Miracle baby. I could have died and went from 75kgs to 55kgs after I gave birth to my now near two year old son J*** . I had my tubes tied during the scheduled c section I had when I gave birth. In the end I just feel so damn Lucky to have the most wonderful kids whom make my life worth living. I now have a gorgeous step daughter whom is 11 so I am very blessed. I think once this mum gives birth she will fall in love with her new son once she sees him.
Her husband should just not push the issue and just support his wife the best he can without upsetting her. It’s hard enough being pregnant let alone being pregnant with a baby you don’t feel connected too yet and your husband’s possibly making her feel alone in her pain. Its not up to him to decide well it’s been a month now stop feeling the way she does and just be happy!. He hasn’t walked in her shoes so he should not judge his partner.

I get that you can have a preference, mine was a girl and I have a girl now. Would I have been a bit disappointed if she was a boy…yes…would i have acted like this mother, no way. I would still have been as excited with a boy and would have loved putting him in little suits and having a little man around the house….it would have been more scary to have a boy because I have no idea about boys (raising them ect)

I can understand in a way because I went through something similar but the main thing is that the baby is healthy at the end of the day.

I really wanted a boy my 2nd pregnancy after having a girl and I was convinced it was a boy – after the ultrasound showed it was a girl and we left the hospital I cried to hubby because I was convinced it was a boy and “I knew deep down it was- well in my head it was!!” so to find out it was a girl was a shock as stupid as it sounds.

There was also some personal things in my head related to me having another girl which I took as a sign of something negative would happen to myself by overthinking it but once I got my head wrapped around it I was so excited and loved the idea of another girl and she was a healthy baby at the end that is all that mattered.

You learn overtime what a blessing it is to have a HEALTHY baby and that you CAN conceive that all the rest doesn’t matter in the end…

I think the most important thing is that the baby is healthy Gender does not matter

As long as your child is born healthy their gender shouldn’t matter. Maybe she needs to talk to a professional about why she is having these emotions.

If you are going to act like this you shouldn’t have children. You don’t get to choose. Maybe she could foster instead.

I can’t relate. I tried for 4 years and did not care if I had a boy or a girl, I just wanted to go full-term with a healthy baby. I think we’re sent the babies we’re meant to have and it’s so sad to be reliant on such things. I just hope that baby is loved.

All my children were unknown to me until they were here – better than setting yourself up for a fall because you had decided in advance what you wanted.

It’s ok to feel a little diaappointed if you had your heart set on a particular gender but you have to move on and be happy with what you get.

Honestly, some people / couples have great difficulty in being able to have children let alone be disappointed in what gender they will birth! I think a healthy outcome is what she should be focused on rather than the gender

I can’t possibly imagine being disappointed with the gender of a baby. You’re creating life and as long as it’s healthy, that should be all that maters.
