June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[SecondNote]

I have one son and I would love for this baby to be a girl. However, some days I almost think I would rather have a second boy. The thing is people are constantly saying to me "I hope it's a girl!" Like constantly. Everybody. It is almost making me start to feel defensive. What if it's a boy? Am I going to disappoint everyone? Almost making me feel like I should be disappointed if is a boy.

That drives me mad secondnote, especially since I've had people say that before ive even become pregnant! I love love love having a boy and think 2 boys would be absoloutely wonderful, the thought of that and my DS having a baby brother makes me so happy, its just the whole 'last baby' situation and worrying that maybe I'll somehow be missing out if i dont have one of each? I just cant stand other people's comments, im always very conscious not to make comments like that to others because i think its rude.

The comments are one of the main reasons I don't want to announce we're having a baby until we know the gender so we can skip some of the 'don't you want a girl' questions! I have this feeling that if we have two boys people will ask if we'll keep trying until we have a girl

Those types of comments are so annoying. I've already had people ask me if we don't have a girl this time if we're going to have a third to try for a girl. I just say no. Shop is closed after 2

 

[Boo44]

Since people have found out I'm pregnant I've had a mixture of

"So is this the girl then?"
"Going for a girl this time?"

It completely boils my piss...

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Im glad its not just me. Im always very aware and conscious to make sure i never make those types of remarks to people, its just unnecessary- you dont know whether that person even has any gender preference in the first place, plus you dont know what somebody's situation is and what they've been through to be having another baby in the first place. It's just annoying and inconsiderate.

On a positive note i feel much better which is good considering tomorrow will be xmas shopping last minute madness.

 

[mommyxofxone]

Omg I had no idea you boy mamas got the same thing! Makes me feel better. I always get "soooo are you gonna try for a boy?" And "boys are so lovely" in front of my girl! Wtf! What is she, chopped liver? I mean come on!

People can be so rude. I started telling them if they wanted a boy they should have it. I get really angry about it. Makes me want a girl even more

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Mommyofone- if anything ive always felt you get it worse with having boys, I always feel like there's a totally strong bias towards girls for some reason? I know what you mean though, it makes you feel so defensive of your child when people insinuate they are less than pefect.

This.

Boys are made out to be the lesser choice, like the booby prize in some way. Ridiculous as boys ROCK and it's probably someone who didn't have one who decided society would think like that!

 

[Starlight32]

I'm having a lot of anxiety when it comes to being in a car. I don't drive, but being a passenger is starting to make me nervous now that my bump is getting bigger; I'm very paranoid of a car accident

Anyone have else anxieties like this? How do you overcome it?

 

[medic76097]

We have two boys and people are already asking if we are trying till we get a girl. To be honest I don't want a girl. I've started tellin people we don't want a girl and someone had the balls to tell me I was rude for saying it ...after the woman basically told me our family would only be complete if we had a girl

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Trying to decide what to do about my face still! I already got refused antibiotics on Monday when I went in. Have since seen the dentist who suggested it was my tooth causing the problems not the sinuses. However he didn't do anything. Now I'm left wondering if I'm supposed to just leave it =s I mean if the dentist didn't prescribe anything then how am I going to get the doctor to do it for a dental problem?!

Don't see how it's going to go down on its own though :s

Why are they making this so difficult.

 

[AngelofTroy]

Interestingly noone has suggested that we 'should' want a girl this time and I've expressed no preference outside if this forum. If they had I'd probably want a boy to spite them!

 

[Tinky_82]

Starlight I don't get anxiety as such but when pregnant I am even more aware of the potential for accidents in cars. I also hate when my son goes in a car without me - I never like this but it's worse now I'm pregnant.

 

[Tinky_82]

I hate pregnancy dreams. I dreamt last night I was bleeding but no one in the hospital would see me to check on baby - i was waiting for a whole day. It felt so real and I can't stop thinking about it.

 

[karlilay]

I get

'Why did you want another one. You can't have any other different sorts'
You already have a boy and girl!

 

[Becyboo__x]

I got it this time saying people constantly saying I need a girl and I'll be having a girl .. as we said it's our last one.. but overly we didn't mind either way I wanted a girl I'll admit but I'd of still loved a boy and eventually got over never having a daughter. But when people say a certain gender it always had made my emotions go wild and then I feel selfish



I'm not even feeling pregnant lately maybe it's because I have other things on my mind I don't know

 

[Squig34]

Glad you don't have food poisoning Tinkerbelle & hope you're feeling better soon.

All went well with my scan yesterday, Squiggle's growth was where it should be & I got some really nice pics just hope this trend continues! I also had my placenta looked at & apparently it looks much better than in my last pregnancy & the blood pressure in my uterine arteries is normal when it was previously high. So still a long way to go, but positive for now!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I keep going from nothing to a bump and back again Ive seen a lot get this and then you randomly get a bump overnight I'm 17 weeks tomorrow and still don't feel mine has changed much. But with DS I didn't get a noticeable bump til after 20 weeks
