I don’t know if it’s just me but is anyone else getting annoyed with the comments of oh ur having a boy?? I’m currently sitting at my mils and I’m getting annoyed with the comments of how I’m being told the baby im carrying is a boy? Just because she had a dream before I found out I was pregnant that I had a boy!! It’s actually really getting on my nerves that why do people assume it’s going to be a boy

Completely agree it is so irritating! Especially when people analyse your scan without you asking making theories ‘oh it’s definitely a ‘...’ like I never asked and it’s been proven skull theory is rubbish anyway!

My friend is really annoying as she always calls my baby a girl and a she. "Oh I love her already" and I don't know why but it really pisses me off!
My nana also bought a cardigan with pink in which annoyed me cause she thinks it's a girl also 😂 she pretended she didn't realise but she definitely did.
I don't mind the guessing but it's the people who are so sure about it that piss me off haha

I'm a FTM and it definitely amused me how everyone had an opinion on this.
Pretty much my entire family were all convinced we were having a girl and constantly referred to the bump as 'she'. At least 2 people I work with had dreams I was having a boy....others made comments about old wives tales and how i was carrying the bump.
I think it's just a conversation starter for some people. I just saw it as a bit of fun so can't say it really bothered me.
