Yesterday we had a gender scan as our hospital has a policy where they don't tell you the gender at 20 weeks. We found out that our second child is the same gender as our first.
I won't say whether that is male or female as it don't feel like it's relevant. We looked forward to the scan and my partner was engaged with the scan until the gender was revealed. I was so happy when we seen the heartbeat again and that everything was okay that it didn't matter to me either way which gender. However, I know my partner hoped for one of each. Well of course this wasn't the case and he become withdrawn when the gender was revealed. All I could see is the disappointment in his eyes. I just feel sadness for his baby at this point. I know my partner will love our baby no matter what when they are here but I can't cope with his disappointment. We are 90% sure that this is our last child and I know he just hoped for one of each. For me, maybe selfishly I feel he took all the happiness out of our last gender scan and I keep getting upset thinking about it.
I almost feel like I can't refer to the baby as he or she in front of him.
I guess I'm not asking a question here, just looking for some similar stories for comfort right now.
Thanks in advance.
