I can't really believe I'm writing this but I feel so ashamed, I can't speak to anyone about it.
I have a beautiful 2.5year old girl who is my world. I'm pregnant with my second child, very much planned. Very much wanted. I was so excited for another baby.
All along I felt this time it was a boy. Different symptoms etc, and even my toddler keeps saying "baby boy!".
Yesterday we had our 20w scan which I was so nervous for, had this feeling everything wouldn't be healthy
Scan done, perfect healthy little boy wiggling around like a good one.
For hours after I was just so happy that he seems healthy, got into the whole messaging friends and family it's a boy. "How perfect, one of each" etc etc.
By the evening I started to feel really uncertain about the fact its a boy. Told myself it's because I'm so used to having a girl. I kept crying because I felt so ashamed I didn't feel super excited it's a boy.
Slept on it. Woke up this morning still feeling the same. And everytime I think of this perfect little baby wiggling about in my tum I feel AWFUL I'm not sure excited for his tiny self being a boy. I'm faking it so well to everyone.
I'm horrified at myself guys. I dunno if it'd just getting my head around the idea?
Has anyone else had a similar feeling. I just want to accept it and get excited again but I just can't mentally get there yet!!!
I have so many friends and family with the most hilarious, gorgeous little boys. There's just no reason to feel this way.
Urgh i am so ASHAMED at how I feel, I can't stop crying over the sheer GUILT.
