Opinions please ladies :)

[everythinghappensforareason]

So ive been having a good think about what this little one wil be (girl/boy) i feel totally convinced it is a boy (which is great:)) but ive always wanted a Daughter, it sounds silly but i get teary even day dreaming that at my scan theyll say girl!! i really would love another boy, dont get me wrong. But has anyone ever really wanted a gender and thought they wouldnt because of it. I just couldn't imagine having a girl, would be so odd after thinking about one for years :) please dont judge. as i said i would love a DS all the same x x

For ever since I can remember I have always wanted a boy, I used to joke with my mum that I'd give any girls I had to her! But right from the moment I was pregnant I felt like it was a girl, just a really strong feeling, and I really don't mind what it is. I left it as a surprise and I can't wait to meet my baby, it is due in 6 days! I just want to hold it in my arms and to be told it is healthy. Boy or girl I am so excited.

Many people say they are sure its a boy and they can't really imagine me with a girl, but after years of only wanting a boy, I don't care now :)

I would be over the moon if this baby was a little girl. I've always seen myself with a daughter, and can't imagine only having sons. However, I am equally excited about another gorgeous, beautiful little boy, who can wear all his big brothers clothes I've lovingly kept. I get quite teary thinkig they might never get worn again!

If she is a girl, I'd still love to go again and have another boy. Boys are brill. :) either way I think I want three, and hopefully there'll be a girl in the mix somewhere!

congratulations on your bumps :) Im the same bunty even if this 1 is a girly we will have another at some point :)

have too come back too this thread and let u all no what i have, and you will have to let us no :o

OP, I love your name, I say that pretty much every day!

But yes, I think so so many people want a specific gender, it's not uncommon! Of course many women want little girls but imagine how nice it would be to have a mummy's little boy aswell :)

With my first I had no idea what the gender would be, but was hoping for a girl. Turned out it was and I love my daughter! I'm 5 months pregnant now with my second and right from the start said it was a boy, and genuinely wanted a boy (in fact I gave away all of DD's old clothes as I was so sure) and turns out it is! I'm lucky to be having one of each, and will probably settle on having just two.

Has anyone seen "8 Boys And Wanting A Girl" ? (I think that's the title anyway) It's a documentary on mums that are so desperate to have the opposite gender they just keep on trying!

Before i had my DS I had always wanted a girl and knew I would be disappointed if it was a boy. So much so that I found out the sex at the scan just so I would not be disappointed at the birth and yes I did have a feeling that it would be a boy just because I wanted a girl. I am very sorry to say that when I found out it was a boy I was very disappointed. I laugh now thinking about that as I cannot imagine what would have been so different if I had a girl. My DS is such a character already and only 2 and nothing to do with his gender. I adore him for being him. Am now Pg with number 2 and honestly don't care either way. there is absolutely nothing wrong with having/ wanting a preference and most of us do even those that say they dont. As you say op it will be a blessing either way.

Yes seen that, its crazy! dont no how they do it. I have a wonderful DS, another would be great too, but would feel so lucky if we had one of each. then atleast if we had more in a few years or not it would not matter. i dont think having a baby just for a certain gender is right, but i can see why people have a preference at times, especially when u already have 1 or more of the same sex!! x

I know what you mean! I've always imagined having a little girl, her names have been picked out as they are my Nans names, I'd picked up a bag of freecycled girls clothes (why not 50/50 chance and they were free ), coveted the pretty next dresses and I let my DH choose a name that I wasn't keen on for a boy as I was convinced I was having a girl!! Fast forward to my 20 week scan and there was no mistaking the evidence on the screen!! It's a boy!!.... And for about 10 seconds I was disappointed... And then, I couldn't care less and I'm ready to embrace the tractors and lego, looking forward to my big, strong, boy arriving in 15 weeks!! Both my SIL's are due girls just before me and there's not even a hint of envy. The best way to describe it is... I'm a bit sad that I'm not having a girl but excited about having a boy .... I've had two mc's before getting to this point and I'm sure lots of people would say you should just be happy it's going well and healthy... But we can't help our imaginations running away with images of the child we want, for whatever reason.... But you know at the end of the day you'll love them for just being yours when they arrive.

My husband and I have always wanted a girl. We picked out a name for her together before we even decided when/if we were having kids. My husband was absolutely convinced that since it is the sperm that decides the sex of the baby it was his choice and we were going to have a girl. I didn't have any idea of whether it would be a girl or boy, but my husband was convined that it was a girl. I'm still worried it might be a boy even though our 20 week scan and 4d scan said it was going to be a girl. My husband has never had any doubt though...

I want a girl, there have been no girls in either my family or OH's family so it would be a first granddaughter for those concerned (after 5 boys on each side). I've decided to find out the sex (I think!) simply because if it turns out to be a boy I'm going to need time to adjust to that. I'm sure I'll eventually be delighted either way, but I'm prepared that I may need some time to get my head round it!

Hope you get your girly stowsettler id say boys r more common on mine and OH's family but there r a few girls, im 1 of 5. 3 brothers 1 sis. OH is 1 of 3, 1 bro 1 sis. ive got DS1, and had a MC between DS and this 1. OH thinks this 1 is a girl :) he was convinced no doubt DS was a boy, so maybe he will be this time. i wonder if men no these things since they get to pick :o

There are 4 girls in my family. I love having sisters. I was convinced I was having 2 boys, so much so that when I had my 20 week scan and the sonographer said it was 2 girls I was stunned! Both me and DP are over the moon. I can't imagine having sons (although I would have loved them all the same). I am so excited for my 2 little girls due in about 14 weeks!

Hi, i really hope you get what you want. it's such a relief to know i'm not the only one who feels like this! when i was pregnant with my first i desperately wanted a girl. He was a boy as it turned out, i didn't find out until he was born which was a bit of a mistake really. i was in total shock, i wanted a girl so much that it hadn't really occured to me that i wouldn't have one. silly i know. anyway i love him dearly, i couldn't love him more if he was a girl but it still feels like there is a big gap in my life.

i don't think many people really understand what it is like to want a specific gender, that the longing is not a choice. there are a couple of gender disappointment (i prefer "gender desire"!) websites and forums if you feel really strongly, although they always seemed to make me more anxious :/

i have just had my 20 week scan and it turns out i'm having a girl!! i don't think i'll really believe it unti lthe birth but it feels great so far. this was really our last shot at having a baby so i'm over the moon.

i hope you get a similar result xxx

I had a boy the first time round and was convinced it was a girl so I was a bit when he was born.
I wouldn't change him for the world tho and was in love with him after about ten seconds.
This time I decided to find out at the 20 wk scan so I could get my head around having another boy in advance. Just to prepare you know?
It was a girl and now we have one of each life is perfect. But I kinda wish I hadn't found out and spoiled the surprise at the birth!

Its interesting to see that most people on here were wanting girls!

I was the other way around. I have such a poor/up and down relationship with my mother, that I was a bit worried about the propect of having a girl myself.

As it turned out, I had a boy. :) I am now pregnant again (due Sept) and I am much more relaxed at the propect of maybe having a girl this time. Now that I am a mum, I know that once that baby is placed in my arms, it doesn't matter whether its a boy or girl, because it will be our baby and thats all that matters.

Aw so lovely too hear all these stories :) hzgreen i was exacly the same, with my 1st never occured to me that i would have a boy, does sound soo silly now, but if i could go back and choose id have my little boy no questions asked hes amazing. This time, i think i assumed at 1st since already having a boy i would probably have a girl, now i have realised that actually theres just as much chance of another boy. i think i will be fine with another boy. But i would so love too have a daughter.

im going to have a early (16week) gender scan i think, if they did say girl ino i wouldnt believe it haha xx
