I just found out the sex of my current pregnancy following a NIPT scan and I cried. She's a little girl, I was fully expecting it be a boy and had a name picked out etc.
Before people pile on, I'd like to explain that when I was pregnant with my son, I thought he would be a girl (just a really strong feeling) and was also sad when I found out he was a boy.
I really don't have a preference for boys or girls, and this is a very wanted pregnancy following multiple miscarriages. But somehow my brain gets it completely wrong each time and then I end up mourning the loss of the imaginary child I'd been thinking of.
When I'm not pregnant I'm a very logical person that understands it's 50:50, even if it is the sex you're expecting they won't be anything like you imagine etc... But my hormones have turned me into this dreamy mad woman. So am I mad? Is this just hormones? I had the most vivid pregnancy dreams about a little boy that never existed.
I'd really like my normal non-pregnant brain back.
