If it turns out to be a boy I guess you need to focus on the future and how amazing it will be ot have lovely daughters in law that you can be an awesome Mother in law too.
I have three girls and was very happy with that. I have one aweswome Son in law so far.

I’ll admit that I’d have been disappointed if my last child had been another boy – but I’d have got over it pretty quickly. I think that’s the key – can you manage your disappointment to eventually see past it? Because I think it’s a valid initial feeling, I”m just not sure how long you should hold it.

There have been a number of articles written about gender disappointment and it might be a good idea for anyone experiencing to read these articles. There is probably some helpful information in the articles for anyone needing support to navigate their way through it. I have been fortunate to not experience this despite only having children of one gender.

I have been fortunate to never ever care about the gender of my children. It was quite the miracle to being able to conceive and have them happy and healthy. It must indeed be quite a struggle for anyone that does indeed struggle with the issue of gender and hopefully support is found.

They will love you no matter what! You will be the Queen! I have 2 boys and also wanted girls at first but it really doesn’t matter about the gender! They are such a blessing and have a little newborn around will be the best! Enjoy the newborn stage! xx

This is a tough one. Take it from me. You can do or try all you can to get the opposite gender of what you already have but all you can make is the one gender. There are a lot of factors involved when it comes to this kind of thing. That’s why we can’t play god. Take the plunge and go for a third doesn’t matter what the gender is. The kids will love them any way and will have a blast growing up.

I can feel you and I don’t know why I always wanted to be boys mum as I always grew up with girls. Had girls too. I love to see boys mum specially 5 boys and mum is queen of the house. Think in a positive way. It will be the best

Yes this is tricky. I’ve seen it with a friend who also only had boys and my niece who had 6 boys before getting her girl! It’s OK to feel your feels… but if it is a bit… grieve the loss of your girl… it’ll be important… then focus on the benefits of having 3 boys! They do, after all, love their mum more and generally are better teenagers.

Personally I don’t think gender makes a difference in how hard work and energy our kids take. In our case our two youngest girls are hands full are complex and are in need of full on supervision.
As for gender preference; you are definitely not alone. Try to relax about it as no worry or concern will change the gender of your baby. Enjoy your pregnancy and I hope all will go well for you !

Aww I feel for this mum, it would be really hard knowing you might not experience something you really want. I was just talking to another mum about gender disappointment, she was explaining how guilty she felt bursting to tears when finding out her second was also a boy. Its a totally normal feeling to have that I think we are shamed into keeping to ourselves, as if we won’t love that child as much as our others. I think this mum just needs to keep in mind how much she’ll love this little being the moment her eyes gaze down at their face.

Oh mama gender disappointment is real and no one should make you feel bad otherwise! I thought the same when my second girl came along – always thinking it would be amazing having one of each and being able to experience it. Now, i cant even imagine my life any other way! You’ll love them all the same.

I can understand where you are coming from, I only have one child but two boys definitely must keep you on your toes all day. I wish you all the best with your pregnancy and hope that your third is a little girl but if it turns out it is a boy, as long as he is healthy that is the main thing. Be sure to use your village for support and help and look for ways that you can still get some down time as well as letting your kids burn lots of energy.

I know a couple of families with three boys, a family with four boys, and a family with five girls. I’m not sure if the parents felt any disappointment about the gender of the later babies, but I know that they are happy families and the siblings share a strong bond. I think most of us might wish for something to be a little different in our lives, but in the end we accept what comes our way.

In my third pregnancy, I already had two boys and yes, I was definitely hoping for a little girl. And I just accepted that although I’d be thrilled with a healthy boy, I’d also initially feel a tiny little tinge of disappointment that I’d never have a daughter. I think you’re allowed to feel that. Just try to keep it in proportion so that you also allow yourself to feel the joy your son will bring (if it’s a boy).
