Pregnant with my second and for some reason I’ve started to get obsessed with having a DD. We think we’ll only have two and have a wonderful DS and I’m so surprised and angry with myself that I’m having these thoughts. They’re quite intrusive and making me feel anxious. Obviously I’ll be grateful and lucky to have a healthy child. The rational part of me knows that. But where have these thoughts come from and how to I deal with them so they don’t impact my feelings through this whole pregnancy? Has anyone experienced this?
I fully expect to get flamed for this but I’m only looking for advice as to how to rid myself of these horrible thoughts.
It really only started with I was talking with some friends and mentioned that I knew the exact date of conception as we only DTD once that month as husband works away. She told me that based on my dates and only having had sex once (right on OV) that it’s almost certainly another boy. She then said ‘you’ll have to try again for a girl’ to which I said we would probably only have the two and she said ‘oh that’s a shame’.
Now I feel like I’ll miss out if I don’t have a girl.
