Pregnant and worried about having a boy! help?

I am 13 weeks pregnant with my second child, I already have a boy, but I am worried about being pregnant again with another boy. Dont get me wrong I love my little boy very much, but I have always wanted girls. when I found out I was having a boy first time a round I was so dissapointed even though I already had a feeling I was having a boy, But when i was born i was happy. All my friends are having girls and showing off abit and I feel like I am the only one who's body doesnt want me to conceive a girl and I am so jealous. At the beginning of this pregnancy I was sure I was having a girl because I started my sickness at 5 weeks and was really bad with it, my belly seems to have got bigger so very soon I look 6 months pregnant, and I have put loads of weight on already round my hips and bum, ive gotten more emotional and angry and have spots everywere, were with my boy I had none off that(apart from the sickness started at 12weeks and I wasnt really poorly as much). But now people keep putting in my head its a boy,and friends assume just because there having girls, so and now I feel like i am having a boy. I am so upset with myself for feeling like this but I cant help it, my family would be ideal with a boy and a girl. My husband wanted a girl too but he says he is happy with whatever happens,weres am getting myself worked up over it.

What do you guys think? Am I being stupid and selfish? How will I cope when I find out I am having a boy again?

Sure DS - Dear/ Darling Son DD - Dear / Darling Daughter DH - Dear / Darling Husband etc. TBH - To be honest IYWSIM - If you see what I mean. Does that help?

ErikaMaye · 29/07/2009 20:49

Tut, I'm slow today!

I also meant to say - as difficult as it is when you get a bad responce (have had a few myself to things I've posted... Was even accussed of being a troll ) try not to take them to heart. Most people on here will bend over backwards to help you in any way they can. x

nknight85 · 29/07/2009 20:53

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Just relax, put your feet up, and enjoy your pregnancy

madmissy · 29/07/2009 21:04

did you just add me to msn? did it work? not sure if i agreed or didnt as your not showing online

ErikaMaye · 29/07/2009 21:12

nknight85, if you want to talk some more, my email is [email protected], please feel free to add me if you feel it would help you I don't really have a life, so tend to be online 24/7!

PortBlacksandResident · 29/07/2009 21:23

I can't see that anyone on here has been cruel with their comments tbh. No more cruel than being upset about poss having another boy anyway .

There are alot of folks on this forum who would be pleased to be pregnant at all or to have a healthy baby. That aside i still can't understand all the 'oh it will be fine hun, ignore the big bad bullies' attitude...........There is something a leeeetle bit odd about your attitude, sorry.

Longtalljosie · 29/07/2009 21:29

Look, there have been loads of threads on this issue. Lots of people have admitted they've always wanted a girl / boy. And it's always the case that about 50% of the respondents say, I felt exactly the same of you, and the other 50% felt nothing of the sort.

OP - what you're feeling is very, very common and you shouldn't feel bad about it.

Longtalljosie · 29/07/2009 21:29

Oh, sorry - you were asking about acronyms and there I go using one. OP = original poster

nknight85 · 29/07/2009 21:35

oh right lol thankyou

Port, the whole POINT is that OP knows it's not great and that's why she asked for help, so what, you want her to shut up and keep it all to herself?

You don't have to read her thread you know - there are plenty of us who don't mind listening and trying to help her out.

I'm sure you never had any strange feelings you didn't understand, or that made you feel guilty or bad. Great.

madmissy · 30/07/2009 07:26

thats what gets my goat up too! someones asking for help if you can not give it and dont understand the problem dont reply.

i spoke to nk on msn last night and she knows im here if she wants another chat

Flgihtattendant · 30/07/2009 07:28

Oh well done MM, I'm really pleased she's got some support
