Pregnant with 3rd baby girl and very happy!!!

[sonamay]

Anyone pregnant with baby girl again and FED UP of people telling you: "Oh, again? May be next time, hey" or "How does your husband feel?" "Did he want a boy?"
I love having girls and very happy and do not need sympathy here! For God sake it does not matter!
Has anyone experienced above mentioned? Thanks.

congratulations

I had two girls then got pregnant again for a third time. I was desperate for another girl as I didn't really want a boy and neither did dp.

As it happens, we had a boy and of course we love ds to bits, but I wanted a girl

I used to get SO fed up of all the comments "are you going to keep trying till you get a boy then?" no we fecking well wanted three girls!!!! and when he was born "oh, you can stop now" well we will if want, but we may want some more...

I have had that with the fact I am having a second boy, let alone a third, can only imagine people's comments get worse! Just ignore them, I would be completely happy with 3 boys if I ever wanted to have another baby. People are just annoying! Congrats.

Thanks everyone!

I'm hoping for a fourth

I have a
boy 17yrs previous relationship
me and dh have
girl 12
girl 8
girl 7
girl 9months

and are 26 + pg, with aaaaaaaaaaaa BOY, to say we were shocked is an understatement, but I would have been just as happy for another girl (already have the clothes)lol.

About 2 wks after we had our little girl in jan a neighbour shouted in the street, what did you get, a girl we said, oh no he said are you gonna try again for a boy I was like you cheeky git!!!!!

When they said this one was a boy, I said to my dh that we'll have to have another as i don't want everyone thinking we kept going to get a boy IYKWIM!!!!

I think just enjoy your baby snuggles with your little girl and stuff what everyone else says, I know I will.

My parents have seven grandchildren, all girls! I know my grandad would like a grandson, but I can't actually imagine having a boy now!

All seven aren't mine, btw!

Congratulations, I know exactly how you feel I had the same when pregnant with my third girl, I loved my little girly tribe and DD3 is a complete and utter joy.

I had people say all sorts like "your poor DH" "oh what a shame etc"

However, for us, we felt three was unbalanced, out first two DDs are close in age so we felt someone else was missing to even things up IYSWIM?

We went into TTC#4 totally expecting DD4 (you know where I am going with this one) we had her names chosen, I was delighted to have 4 girls and of course DD4 is a DS.

We got all the "oh finally got your BOY" "your DH must be SOOOO happy" "you can stop now" etc and it annoys me as if DS is some messiah child and the DDs especially DD3 isn't worthy enough.

DS is fab but he is a baby like any other and so far having a boy is no different, he looks very different to the girls in colouring and looks like a boy but that's about it.

I think you have to come up with a bunch of comments like 'Yeah, everyone has said something like that'

Unknowingly, people can be rude and intrusive (imagine how badly you would feel if you had been desperate for a boy) and I think a well placed comment can make them think twice about coming out with something like that to someone else.

Congratulations! How brilliant.

How about you nod and look forlorn. Say yes you are very disappointed, you can hardly contain your sadness. This time you really, really wanted a pig. Then sniff and walk away.

We have 2 DD and the number of times people have asked if we are going to have a third so we can have a boy, they are all horrified to hear DH has only ever really wanted 2 girls - a boy would have been fantastic too but when we first met and discussed children he said how much he would love 2 little girls.

I have 3 girls - 'tis wonderful! But I did get a lot of those sort of comments about wanting a boy. As DH researches metabolic disorders and so sees lots of very poorly babies at work, we really really did not care, just wanted our baby to be healthy.

It's cheaper anyway - I have all girls' stuff, and it pleases my tight-fisted little heart to be able to reuse all the clothes

I love SoH response, and so wish I'd the wit to think of that at the appropriate time.

When people askwhat i'm having i say "another boy :D" and a few have said "oh well aslong as its healthy" urm...i'm quite happy i'm having a boy thankyou!

PMSL @ SoH

I have boy, girl, boy and I keep thinking I want another

I have 3 DS & am PG again. The few people who know keep saying that it MUST be a girl this time, TBH we would probably find it easier to have another boy & I just want a healthy baby. they do seem suprised that I am not desperate for a girl, I'm sure there's plenty more comments to come too.

I'm pregnant with ds3 and I am SICK of people making comments like this! I've had "oh what a shame.", "oh well, as long as he's healthy I suppose." etc., etc. People can be so insensitive and I feel very protective of my little bump - how dare they talk about him as though he is second best - stupid people!!!

I get this from SIL loads but the latest was "If you plan on having another boy then if you do get one you won't be so disappointed" I have 2 boys already and i'm really not bothered about what I get next. I have my scan on tuesday(so excited).

Ahh, congratulations! I do know exactly what you mean, as I am expecting a third boy, and have had people openly pitying me which is just so blardy infuriating and rude that I'm never sure what to say, other than that I am delighted and so is DH. Having had 2 mc's when trying for #3, I honestly couldn't have given a flying fig what sex DC3 was. Enjoy your pregnancy, and your girls!

When I told me boss I was having a second girl, she said, "oh, how unfortunate!"

I love having my two girls, wouldn't change it for the world, and should I have a third dc, I'm hoping its a girl too!

Congratulations!

The latest comment today was: "Oh no!" and my reply was Oh YES!!!. Can't believe people some people can be so pathetic! I just won't tell them the sex of the baby anymore. Best to keep it as a precious secret!
Thanks to everyone for your replies!

I had an "Oh No!" as well, about my due-to-arrive DS2. The person in question is young, childless and v dippy, so it didn't bother me too much. But honestly!!
