Gender guilt

[stickylizard]

I feel the same but with wanting a boy! We've been calling the bump by our chosen boy name since practically 4 weeks and definitely since the 12 week scan! I don't know why I'm bothered, last time I really wanted a girl and I had a girl and I can't help thinking if this baby is another girl then with my next pregnancy I will be a nightmare! I will HAVE to have a boy. Though, my instinct was strong last time from the start and was right so hopefully it will be this time - so I can avoid the guilt though, not cus I won't want my baby is she's a girl.

I dunno if maybe having a boy is exciting because I already have all the girl stuff from only 7 months ago so I can't afford to buy anything much if it's another girl. If it's a boy I have to lol

Either way, for all of us we will be totally over the moon with our babies. xxx

jumping over from 3rd tri...but I too had had gender disappointment with my first. I was so set on having a boy first that when they said it was a girl I went into meltdown.
I didn't think I knew what I was doing with a girl, even though I come from a family of 5 girls 3 boys and had 5 nieces at the time. I was just scared of the frills and what have you, lo and behold lil' one hated dresses from the get-go and now I find myself pregnant with another girl and hoping she is super girly so we can use the dresses her older sister so hated!
FYI, when I got over the initial shock , I grew very excited and wanted to sort out her name. Once she was born I just wanted to cuddle her all the time! You will cringe at yourself for ever feeling disappointed or just shocked!
