Look on the brighter side, you have a healthy baby! I know we all get our hopes up about having a boy or girl, I wanted a girl & I'm having a boy you can't have but feel disappointed but then I thought 'it's my baby & he's healthy'.. what more can you ask for?
I was thinking about this in the early weeks - as I have ds and would love a girl too.
The thing that has really helped me and put it into perspective is reading stories in the loss section about people that have had miscarriages, still births or lost a child after birth, to sids etc. I have sat there and poured my heart out when reading some of those posts and it is the only thing that time and time again makes me just wish for a healthy child.
If the gender disapointment creeps up on me, then I know I have to go and re-visit a few very sad stories and it gives me a kick up the bum
