Dreamed I Was Disappointed With Gender Scan

[kmpssbl]

Soooo I had a dream last night. I hardly remember dreams and their details, but this one stuck out (as much as I can recall!).

I dreamed we found out we were having a girl, and I was upset. I desperately want a boy, but part of me thinks it's a girl. Hubby thinks it's a girl. I keep telling myself I shouldn't care what it is, so long as it's healthy. And I will be happy with whatever God blesses us with.

Has anyone else felt this way? I feel so bad I want to be happy if it is a girl, but what if I am a tad disappointed? We find out August 4, so not soon enough! lol

Hun I recommend you post in the Gender Disappointment section, as many there will better understand your feelings and what you are going through

You may be a bit upset initially but you will get over it.

I had a preferance for a girl as this is my last baby and was really upset when I found out it's another boy. I then felt hugely guilty for reacting that way. But 2 weeks later I was really happy to be having 2 boys. I just needed a little time to make peace with the fact that my imagined daughter won't ever exist.

First baby I wanted a boy and was a little disappointed with a girl at first. I felt so guilty, but it didn't last long as soon as I started imagining life with her and buying her things. She became real ifywim? I adore my daughter, and this baby I wanted another girl! I got a boy, so go figure! Now I'm super excited to be having a ds, and regardless of how you feel after your scan there's going to come a day when you wouldnt change a hair on their little head, let alone what's between the legs! plenty of women feel like this but dont like to admit it, but you definitely get past it.

I can totally understand how you are feeling!

I currently have a daughter and i would LOVE another girl. When i found out i was pregnant i could not imagine myself having a son, at all. However i am SLOWLY warming to the idea that it could happen.

Funny you talk about dreams. I had one where i went to a gender scan and found out i was having a boy - i was over the moon and woke up feeling happy and like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, however i still have the odd moment of worry.

Everyone assumes that i'm hoping for a boy and when i turn around and tell them actually no, they seem confused.

It is TOTALLY normal how you are feeling - like a previous poster suggested, maybe you should head on over to gender disappointment.

I've opened up to my DF how i'm feeling and he has actually really helped. We talk about boy names, he shows me cute little outfits - he's making suggestions which really help with imagining having a son in our life and that it isn't the end of the world.

I know i worry now, and that yes, i may initially be disappointed, but, i WILL love this child - whatever the gender, the same amount when they are born and i am staring into their gorgeous eyes.

If you want to chat, feel free to message me hun xx

I am having a boy. This is our first baby and we only plan on having 2. I really didn't care what I was having this time but for next time I am hoping to have a girl…I think one of each would be great. But if I do have a boy I know I might be a little disappointed for a minute and then I'm sure it will be great. Down the road you won't be able to imagine your life without the children you have boys or girls

Thanks ladies And silly me, I totally forgot about the designated gender disappointment forum! Ooops lol

We want 2 as well, and would prefer 1 of each. My sister has a 3-year-old boy and #2 on the way is a girl. I am ecstatic for her, since that is what I hope for I know I will love the child no matter what. I'm glad this is normal, but I also feel bad, even though we haven't even found out yet!
