Gender Disappointment Support Board

[Guppy051708]

*Welcome* ​

This thread is dedicated to the mamas & papas that are grieving over GD. We are all here to support one another, encourage, and help those standing next to us while we experience our "loss". This is a very emotional time for many and having that extra kinship will help.

This is a judgement free zone. No one will judge you for having GD. The basic understanding of this thread is that you dearly love all of your children, but you have certain feelings about not having that special bond with the other gender.

Feel free to comment anytime about ANYTHING. Obviously the main topics are gender disappointment and coping with that, but anything can be chatter about here My hopes are that we all become close through experiencing our grieving together. This is such a vulnerable time and we can use the understanding and friendship without the worriment of being judged.

Please include the following in your first post:

I have

Eden: 8 years
Caelan: 2 years

We are NTNP with a view to conceiving in the next few months. Fingers crossed. I always wanted a little girl. I am hoping beyond hope that number 3 is a girl as its my last chance - I had a hard enough job convincing OH to try for #3 so no chance of any more!!! Im so nervous to start trying and falling pregnant.

Hi,

I have one and one on the way.
I was hoping for another to be honest. And am feeling down about having a boy. Which I wasn't expecting feeling down about.
