Gender

[shanlouise95]

hello everyone!

I am 16 weeks and having my gender scan tomorrow.. This is my first child! I have been convinced it's a girl the whole way through my pregnancy.. Some think boy others think girl!

But im so convinced that i think i may be disappointed if it is a boy... Does anyone have any advice on this? Im worried it will show on my face at the scan tomorrow! Especially cause my partners side of the family is all boys so major pressure to produce the first girl!

instantly I thought the same when I spotted the name of this thread on the pregnancy board!!
Pluto - yes. exactly what I thought

Congrats on your pregnancy OP

Please come back and let us no what your having OP

I think maybe some people are being a tad harsh maybe, you can't help how you feel. Some people do have a preference for many reasons. Others don't care. OP was only asking if anyone had felt the same, not suggesting she will hate her baby if she doesn't find out what she's hoping for

This is the main reason I am waiting until the birth to find out if my baby is a girl or boy. I don't really mind at all which I have, especially since it's my first child, however, I know that if I was told now, I could easily get disappointed if it's not the opposite as I don't want to miss out. At birth, there will be no guilty feeling of a secret disappointment, only love at first sight! (cheesy).

Good luck, and let us know what you are having!

After 3 boys (then 2 mc) then finally this pregnancy, I can't lie, I had hopes for a girl. I knew I would feel a bit sad if it was a boy but also knew it'd pass and I'd love another little boy just as much as my others. I had a scan at 16 weeks... a girl!! I was ecstatic. But since then I've been so worried they got it wrong! 20 wk scan baby decided to cross her legs so couldn't confirm!
Due to take my boys to a 4d scan in 2 weeks and can't wait for them to confirm once and for all but my overriding feeling was "yes baby is healthy".
Don't feel guilty for having a preference, it doesn't mean you'll love baby any less once he or she arrives!

I'm currently 13 weeks with my second child, I have managed to convince myself I am having another girl. I think because we already have a girl my mind has just assumed it'll be another. We choose to find out at 20 weeks and I might have a moment of disappointment but know it will be fleeting. I know I will love any child but I think pregnancy hormones give me strange ideas!
