I'm just going to assure you that you WILL love your child. You might feel anger towards this pregnancy now, and even a bit after he's born - but it will get better. This sweet, innocent baby is YOUR baby. Your daughter's little brother. I wept, when I found out DS2 was a he. Bitter weeping. No, no, no, it HAD to be a girl. But he was coming. I never wanted boys, I couldn't believe this wa...

I don't think it's very accurate. At least for me personally. DS1 is a mystery as for conception because I was not temping at the time and were were trying, so I don't know "o" day or which DTD day "worked" -ahem. DD was definitely day before O and we were actively trying to get pregnant and DS2. Hah hah. That was actively trying NOT to get pregnant and with an "o" day of day 11 (crazy early!...

This. ^
DS1 is almost 5, DD is just 3 and DS2 is almost four months old. When I found out DS2 was a he I was shocked at how upset I was. I definitely preferred a girl when I found out I was pregnant. I can assure you you'll love DS2. Throughout my pregnancy, I couldn't imagine what another boy baby would be like. I could only imagine DS1. Well, DS2 is So different from DS1. Looks, ...

[quote user="JJ89"] Honestly at first I couldn't understand how this post triggers GD since you already have a girl? Not
to offend or anything, just wondering. If someone said the opposite "at
least you have a boy", would you feel similar?
Hmm, it didn't really trigger GD, it just rained on my parade and was a terribly stupid thing for someone to say and it made me sad and feel guilty ...

Seriously, regardless of what your family make up is, someone is going to say something incredibly stupid. Case in point. Yesterday, I'm at an event my husband was participating in and I'm there with my husband and some friends and I'm wearing DS2 (9 weeks old) in a lovely sling and all these people are cooing over how gorgeous he is and this older woman asks me if I have any more children and I...

I would be shocked if that is not a wee boy in there. Congrats!

Oh mama, I'm so sorry you've heard this news. As with many conditions, there are varying levels of severity and I have heard of this condition. Try to remain positive and strong for your sweet girl and wait and see what further testing reveals. I'll be praying that there aren't any further complications and that this issue resolves itself and isn't too serious. xxx

OMG, please people, if you can't be supportive of the OP, who I feel wasn't "boy hating" at all, then GET OFF THIS SITE AND DON'T COME BACK. Do you go on the PGD/IVF board to troll there as well? Why are you even here? What do you think this board is about? GO AWAY if you don't want to support or listen to people with GD, you are not welcome. There is so much of this going on here lately and ...

Wow. I am so sorry to hear about your friend. She is lucky to have such a good friend in you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of you to hear pink.
Something similar happened to a co-worker. She had 2 boys and was pregnant with a DD, who was unfortunatly stillborn. She has gone on to have another boy and did admit to me it was hard to see me with my daughter as she nearly had a DD herself....

I'm in a similar situation, except that I'm weeks away from having another boy. I have DS, DD and now DS2. It was a one time "oops" and while we were excited to have a third child, I had hoped so hard to have another girl. Only a few more weeks until we meet him and while I'm excited for him, I'm also sad (actually very sad) he isn't the daughter I had been hoping for. I feel awful for having ...

Honestly, based on this nub, I'd say it could go either way at this point. My current bub's nub was completely flat at 12 weeks (and I got 100% girl guesses) and looked like yours and it's a boy, so, hold on for one more day and you'll know! Good luck!

:( sorry honey, it looks exactly like my DS2 scan and I'm convinced he'll pop out still a boy. I remember being sort of in denial about it for a while, too, thinking, where's the penis?! Prepare for blue.

Oh sweetie, first of all, KNOW that your GD had nothing to do with your son being born prematurely. Of course you love him! There is nothing you can do now regarding your feelings for wanting a different gender, or for ever wanting a girl in the first place. Those are feelings, not your actions. You did nothing to cause his premature birth. Your little guy knows you love him and I hope he co...

Dude, while I completely agree that routine circumcision is horrible - this isn't the thread for that. This is about pageants. If you want to get on your soap box, do it elsewhere. That said- those pageants and in SO many instances the whole child cheer thing is really just plain crazy. Anyone who thinks it is in some way NOT sexist and just plain wrong to dress your child up like a streetwal...

oh, try not to dwell on what you midwife says, hon. She has a 50% chance of being right - or wrong. You won't know until but comes out. Boy or girl, I hope you can enjoy your pregnancy. I'm sorry to read about your loss of your little girl, though. :(

[quote user="deeva"]hi, it is true that the age gap will not always mean close or not close relationship, i think it has to do with personalities and family dynamics as well.
DH and his sister are not very close and they have 5 years between them but both say that it is because of how they were raised, his best friend however adores his older sister and they have 7 yrs difference, they are very ...

I am in the same place with you right now. 4 yo DS, DD is 2.5 and this new baby is a boy. Everyone was convinced this baby was a girl based on symptoms (I was horribly sick, like last time, but never sick with DS, etc. ) but alas, undeniable boy parts. :) I'm a little sad. I had really hoped for a girl. I've only ever wanted girls. I had horrible GD with my first. I also worry that my boys...

^ agree agree. And you are right, HOW you talk about this is the big issue here. I had severe GD with my first and I knew I could seriously screw up our marriage if I wasn't careful. With all things it is important to measure your words. Don't try to make him hurt because you are hurting. Trust me. I've learned through experience.

I only wanted girls, but had a DS first. So then I prayed for BGG, but will be having BGB. Sometimes I dream about trying again for a fourth in the off chance of BGBG, but that seems very unlikely. I am so jealous of women who have daughters (plural). Seeing sisters together breaks me up. I never had a sister, so it was always something I'd wanted. My SIL has BGGG. The last two were total a...

Seb2011, All I can say is that I hear you. I had terrible GD with my first and, for me, it was the guilt and fear I would never have a DD, followed by the scheduled c-section (he was breech, and I was very VERY angry that I had to be cut "for a boy!") Oh, I railed and was miserable. Guilt and sadness and desperation and I even prayed the second they were pulling him out of me that he would be a ...
