{happytobeblessed} Congrats on your new baby. Your post is such an inspiration, your story is a real testimony that prayer works and swaying dosen't. Although DH and i decided long ago that we just wanted two children, if we get our PP , yes we will stop at two, if we don't then who knows what the future holds, i definitely wouldn't want to stop :) lol, and it just may be what God wants. We'll wait and see...

Prayer always works. It doesn't mean you are going to get what you want. Prayer isn't to get what you want...it's to draw you closer to your Creator and to align yourself with what He wants, not with what you want! I started off having four boys. Was it what I would have prayed for? No. But I love those boys sooo much. I often think that maybe I wouldn't have as many kids as I do if I had gotten both genders right away. At the time, I suffered with GD. But now, I am so happy that God gave me those boys. He knew exactly what I needed, even though I didn't...though I thought I did at the time! Then I had my first little girl. I would have been good to stop at 5 children, but I loved having a big family....again, I family I may not have had if I had been given what I thought I wanted. We had another baby, our 5th boy. There was slight disappointment. Had I been given another girl, then our family would be complete....and that little boy is the sweetest, gentlest little guy. I just gave birth almost 8 weeks ago to our second pink bundle! Now, our family is complete, and I am so thrilled to have a large family....again, something I never knew I wanted! So prayer always works....it may not be what you think you want or need, but God knows! I never swayed. I thought about it and read about it, but in the end, I figured I would get what God wanted me to have regardless....looking back, I had one GREAT girl attempt (timing wise), and he is ALL boy...and my girls were definitely conceived in boy timing. I hope you can find contentment in what you are given!

Tanks ladies for your replies. I must admit some posts stung a bit, but it's okay.I really wanted to believe, and still do, prayer works. I also have a broader pespective of how it works, we may not get what we expect, but we get what is best for us.So either way, girl or boy my DH, DS and I will be soo happy.

happy life:

Ilovebeingpregnant.i do believe in God and his miricles its important to have hope i will not lose any thing if i pray to God and if he will accept my prayers or not its not in my hands.

The lady here asking if people were successful when they did sway and pary and i had a successful story if you were not successful do not bring your angers towards others.

No, you said prayers work 100% No they don't. ilovebeingpregnant has a very valid point, she isn't bringing anger towards you, just pointing out you shouldn't give false hope.

Exactly.

No disrespect towards anyone, but praying in these sort of circumstances to me are as baseless as wishing on a star.

I'm not a religious person whatsoever, but I like the phrase, "God has three answers: yes, no and I have something better in store for you".

I had a sway and pray not work for my third son but he was an "unanswered prayer." that I am glad I didnt have answered. He is AMAZING. I could be content just to cuddle and kiss him all day long. Back when I was pregnant with him I had many scares and EGD. I personally find it hard to believe in god....I am more in to the karma thing...I'm agnostic...

Im sure God doesnt care about your petty needs when it comes to the gender of your child, there are far more important things in life.

I'm sorry but that is a bit harsh and uncalled for. It really isn't your place to judge what any god deems important or petty, nor do you get to insinuate what other people pray for is not important.

hun trust me prayers does work 100.%

this irritates me, of course prayers dont work all the time, otherwise 50% of people on here here wouldnt have failed sways and children wouldnt die of terrible diseases like cancer. Dont give false hope. Im sure God doesnt care about your petty needs when it comes to the gender of your child, there are far more important things in life, if 50 people prayed for their DG about 50% would get it, hmmmm sounds like random statistics to me.

I prayed and hoped for my DD. I was lucky enough to get her.

I also prayed and hoped for another daughter. I was given a son instead.

Now every day I thank god for sending me him. I wouldnt swap him for anything.

I believe you get given what you are meant to recieve. its a 50/50 shot anyway.

I prayed both times. that I would get a DD and a DS. Have you ever heard of "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks? Sometimes we want something SO MUCH in life it literally consumes us. We want to have control in life, but we don't really have control. If you did get your DG, would you be willing to accept one that may be handicapped? Or have poor health? Creating a miracle in itself (regardless of gender) is a magical and miracle process. Sometimes you have to dig EXTREMELY deep and think of things that could be worse. I wanted a boy so BADLY the second time. He was born--and had to spend a week in the hospital. That was after we had a Trismony 18 scare and he had cysts in his brain at the 20 week U/S (that eventually went away). I understand where you are coming from though. You're in my thoughts. I hope you hear GIRL hun. I really really do. I wish everyone got their DG, but there probably is a reason why it doesn't happen--and not in a bad way.

Am sooo sorry you lost your DS hearing this has brought tears to my eyes. Tanks for your advice i will speak to my Priest and yes it will make me feel a lot better if he says its okay and hopefully i'll start swaying if it is.

I believe in God and I am Catholic and I can tell you praying doesnt work 100% of the time, you get what you are supposed to get. Loads of women on here have prayed and loads have not got their DG or a healthy baby. I prayed that my son wouldnt die from Cancer didnt stop it from happening. If you are concerned about these things you need to speak to your preist he's the expert
