Why can't you just be happy?

AMEN.

i know whatcha mean!

There are really people that are upset about this? That makes me sad.

Aubrey;

I wanted a girl, but I'm having a boy. I thought I'd be upset to not be having a girl. But I'm happy either way that I'm having a baby at all!

If some people take it to the extreme and dwell on it. Then yeah that is sad.

Amen! I could have written this myself.

It was bittersweet both times I found out I was having a girl. I was happy, but I was a little bit sad. How does that make me a bad person/mom? I love my daughters dearly, but it doesnt mean I didnt want a son first (or second) lol.

-That- makes you sick? Oh boy!

If I got pregnant and found out I was having a boy, I think I'd be upset for a little while. My mom told me that if I haa been a boy she would have sent me back

I think it's natural. But of course, if you're a mom, you have to be perfect, because the world and his wife judges mothers. Now THAT makes ME sick.

Oh, I know. I would be happy to be pregnant period. I used to think, "oh I want a boy first and then a girl". But after 19 unsuccessful cycles and probably many more to come, just seeing a BFP would make me excited. I will be happy just knowing my baby is developing correctly and is healthy.

Hear, hear!!
I just want A baby. I wouldn't care of the sex. I mean, I'd love a girl but I'd love a little boy just as much! I just want to be able to be pregnant and be a mom! It sickens me to see people complaining and being upset if they aren't having the boy/girl they want

I'm totally with you there! For me there's no reason to even think about which one you'd prefer!

Having been there, I can relate to this so whilst most people are saying be happy, sometimes you can't be 100%. The reasoning for mine.........I didn't really want to be pregnant BUT I do not believe in abortion. While I was pregnant, I really hoped for a girl, I had to find out so that if it wasn't (Which it wasn't! I got Oscar lol!) Then I could deal with the upset before baby was born, get over it and THEN be happy.

So yes, it happens. People DO get upset, it is just something that happens.

Think of it like this. You have a lucky dip, you have 2 items, one you want, one your not so keen on but could grow to like it. You end up with the second one. You're upset at first but then you get over it and life is good again.

I wouldn't change my little man for anything!

Everyone has a preference. but i think its sad when people are disappointed. especially if its your first. i think id prefer a girl but would be just as in love with a little boy.. so i like to think i wouldnt find out the sex xx

Selfish fucking twits. I have had two miscarriages- think I would care what sex baby I had- as long as I had one?

I think a lot of that is due to pregnancy hormones. I've heard they're a bitch, so to deal with that on top of not having a baby the sex you want, probably makes for a big pile of crankles.

Yep it's sad. My friends daughter is pregnant and all she wanted was a boy and she's having a girl and at the ultrasound she was just upset. But in her case I think it's because she thought the baby daddy would come back to her if she was having a boy....

I agree. I hoped for a girl my first pregnancy, and a boy my second. I got both, but even if I didn't, it wouldn't matter. As long as the baby is fine that's all that matters.

I completely agree. People take things for granted way too much, so something like complaining about the sex of an innocent child seems so petty to me. As long as they are HEALTHY and grow up to be a decent human being, that's all we can really hope for.

When I was pregnant with my son... before we found out he was a he, I'll admit I felt certain we were having a boy... but had he been a she, then that would have been okay also.

well said

It's selfish to wish for a girl or a boy, and be disappointed? What if you want a brother for your little girl? Or vice versa? What if you just had your heart set on having a little girl and doing her hair? Or a little boy who you can teach baseball to? What if you'd never have anything in common with a particular gender?

You guys sure are judgemental!

Steve

as long as the mother doesn't treat the child any differently, ie: treating it like shit because it's not the right sex, then i think it's ok to be a bit sad about it. as long as they still love the child it's fine.

& skull.

My sister did exactly this. She went through so much to get pregnant, she's having a boy, she wanted a girl. She's ANGRY, especially at me because i have a daughter.
