[Daisyboo]

hi girls, been for my scan and everything is fine which is great news.just got in and my mum has gone and I just want to sit and cry, i know this is going to sound awful and i should just be grateful everything is ok but not only did i ask to find out what it was after being team yellow but its also a boy.i feel terrible even writing this but cant talk to anyone but i just feel so deflated and such an anti climax, i should have stayed strong and not asked.And i didn't want a boy, how terrible do i sound! So sorry for the rant and hope i haven't upset anyone.x

Awk Daisyboo don't be silly!!! If you have yourself hoping for a girl and then your are told its a boy then you will no doubt get a little disappointed and with all the pregnancy hormones flying around it can make it seem worse than it is. You will just need some time to get your head back in the game. I know that because I have myself wanting a girl so much that when the baby comes if it is a boy I will no doubt be a bit like awk but I wanted a girl. Your happiness for a healthy baby will come soon, you just need to process the information and maybe on some level you were a little worried about if you have a healthy baby or not and now the unknown stress of that is showing as disappointment in the sex of the baby. It doesn't make you a bad person at all, I hope you can get yourself back to normal soon. Chin up hun, you will have a beautiful baby boy in a few months and im sure you will be wondering what all this fuss was about xxxx

 

[Daisyboo]

Thankyou for your kind words Susan, i hope your right.I thought when they tell me what it is i am going straight to buy a little outfit, but after i just thought I cant be bothered.x

Daisy how you're feeling is quite common. It's like a gender preference and lots of women experience it.
There was a lazy on here a whole ago called cosmic girl and she experienced something very similar after finding out she was having her 5th boy.
I hope you come round soon xx

Aww daisy I'm so happy for you that your baby is healthy I decided to have an early gender scan just so I had 2 weeks to process the news with oh without having to tell everyone! At first if im 100% honest I also felt a bit disappointed but mainly because oh kept saying he was sure it was a girl and I was worried that he'd be disappointed but that feeling soon went away and now I'm over the moon! Hope you start to feel like that soon too xx

 

[Becibelly]

Aww Daisy, glad to know your baby is healthy. I think a lot of pregnant women have a preference, admitting it has left you feeling disappointed is brave xx I'm sure you will get excited soon once you've processed it and adjusted to the initial disappointment xxx big hug xx

 

[CoachQueenie]

Aww Daisyboo don't fret... I second exactly what Susan has said. And because you had your hopes set on a girl of course you feel disappointed, and better to have a little disappointment now instead of when the little man arrives... At least you have time to get your head around it all xxx

 

[Daisyboo]

Thanks girls, your all very kind.xx

After the very sh*t day I've had today a friend of mine just found out she's having her first granddaughter , obviously she doesn't care what they
are having but its nice for her after having 3 boys of her own, she now gets to buy pink

 

[mustard]

I'm glad bubs was healthy Daisy. I have lots of friends who have been brave enough to admit that they were disappointed with the gender of their babies but you have lots of time to adjust and hopefully you will be so totally in love with your little man by the time he's born you won't mind one bit that he has a willy.

 

[vampysgirl]

Claire, that is lovely... to be honest I don't care as long baby is growing healthy and all looks well.

 

[KatB79]

Daisy I am here with other girls. So do not feel to terrible ... It will pass and you will get to the point where you accept your little boy at least you will not break in to tears of dissappointment after seeing your little boy for the first time. Glad he is a healthy little monkey xx

Claire how lovely for you friend! I bet this little girl will be seriously spoiled by gramma

 

[vampysgirl]

Does any of you, use a pregnancy app on their phone? Just being nosey as always haha

 

[claire_louise9]

I only use I'm expecting app on Android , but I don't really pay much attention to it.

 

[KatB79]

[gemmylou]

Wow, lots of scans this week! Good luck everyone!! Wonder if some more pink bundles will come out of hiding?! I've still got two weeks to wait for mine, but I am loving reading all of your details about your scans! Xx

 

[CoachQueenie]

Thanks girls!! Last night of all nights was the worst night to set my alarm for PM instead of AM ... Oopsy! Thank goodness I woke up!! x

 

[Becibelly]

Good luck today Coach xxxx

 

[pips]

Yay! Plenty of scans! Come back quick and tell us all about them

Daisy, hope you're feeling better today. There's not much more to add to what's been said. I'll just admit that despite always saying I don't mind what I get (I only want a healthy baby) I probs would be happier with a boy... That's got me thinking I might find out at my scan, so I can be prepared... (or if I get a girl we could swap )

I use the baby center app but they've got my dates wrong and give me news for the week before. Pointless.

20 weeks today!!!!!! Baby, we're half cooked!
