Who's Happy to have 2/3 or more children of the same sex??

[Essjay]

This is a thread for all the girls that have got more than one of the same sex and are sooo happy that they have a beautiful healthy baby on the way and dont care if it has a winky or ohh haa! haha!!

I have one boy and another on the way and i dont care if god blesses me with 10 little boys i'd take them with open arms!!

i dont know about you but i hate seeing threads about gender disappointment.

each to there own and i mean no harm but this is for people who dont care about gender and are just blessed to have an healthy bubba! xx

I feel the same, As long as they are healthy, I am having my 4th girl and i have 2 boys already, all spread out, it went girl, girl,boy,girl,boy, and expecting girl

Me!

I'd happily have 10 children of the same sex, as long as they are healthy

 

[SisterRose]

I'd be thoroughly happy to have another girl or two!

Me - I have spent so long waiting for a baby I really could not care less what I am blessed with

Although I did want to know what I was having - I am OCD about being prepared !!

I can understand that we all want both genders at some stage, but i agree you should be happy to have a healthy baby, one that many would kill for, to be disappointed over the sex when bubs could have had some serious problem picked up the scan, should put it into perspective IMO.

You see so many poor girls on here that have MC after MC im sure none of them would care if they had 10 boys (or girls)

 

[Essjay]

Exactly girls, i've known a few people that have tried for years and years to have a baby of any sex and some just plain old cant conceive at all..

I dont think i'd forgive myself if i let myself cry over what gender my baby was.

i never wanna feel like that about my bubs xx

I have 2 girls already & would have been more than pleased to have another girl - I'm actually having a boy this time (which is a bit daunting after having 2 very girly girls but, not a disappointment - just a new challange!! ).

However I got really upset the other day (I actually posted on here about it) becuase someone made a comment about how pleased they are for me, because they knew how much they knew I wanted a boy - I had never ever said such a thing. It really upset me to think that someone assumed I would be dissapointed with another girl!

I would have happily had 10 of either sex - it's never once been an issue for me to have a mix of genders.

 

[Essjay]

thats how i feel.. i get the sympathetic head tilt when i tell people im having another boy!! people always go "awww.. at least they'll have eachother" im like.. what?!! i couldnt be more happy! a baby is a blessing whatever it is and it annoys me how some people assume you'll be upset if its one or the other!

I have another boy on the way and found at 16 weeks, so then I had the 20 week scan to check everything and was so relieved that he has been given the all clear, I feel incredibly lucky and fortunate to have another healthy child on the way, and will feel like this with my 3rd and 4th no matter what gender.

I would love a girl at some point, but a healthy child that doesnt have to suffer pain or surgeries etc. is more important to me than gender

Although I agree with what many of you have said, you are being insensitive to a lot of women on this forum that experience gender disappointment. I don't understand gender disappointment myself, mainly because I too have lost a baby and would be blessed to have healthy babies regardless of their genders. However, I’ve never heard a woman say something like "I have four boys and would love a baby girl this time, even if she was unhealthy". Health also remains a top priority for women that experience gender disappointment .

I guess if you have had no troubles conceiving healthy babies in the past, you do tend to be a little choosier with the sexes and justifiably so. Like I said, I don't pretend to understand it, but I wouldn’t lambast any woman for feeling disappointed at a specific gender.

Very true, I should have said in my first post, that to begin with I felt a bit dissapointed that I was missing out on experiencing a girl etc. but this was before I felt and saw bubs and started buying things, now the tables have completely changed and I am so excited to think about my baby boy and DS having a brother, I think Im even more excited in this pregnancy more than with DS1 as I know I have all this joy to come again

 

[aob1013]

As Chocolate said, when i found out Leni was a boy i did feel some initial, i think the only way to put it was 'shock' or 'denial' as i thought he was a she

I understand GD happens, and it isn't something anyone can control - and people shouldn't feel bad for it

Sorry I havent read everyones replies but when i saw the title I thought 'I best avoid that thread' thinking i would be left upset/angry but I decided to look anyway and I want to thank you Essjay...what a lovely thread

A happy healthy baby is all we should want/need....who cares if its a million boys/girls as long as they are all ok

Thanks again xxx

 

[aimee_1691]

ive got a little girl and another little girl on the way and i wouldnt change it for the world xx

 

[Youngling]

When i first found out i was pregnant im not gonna lie i was hoping for a little girl,
but now iv realised it shouldnt matter what sex our baby is as long as its healthy. We are on team yellow but when I do have LO i know i will not be dissappointed either way
xx

I don't think OP meant it to be an insensitive thread. More just a chat about being pleased/not upset about having another baby of the same sex.
As we get so many silly comments from people assuming that we want one of each, or if you have 2 the same sex you'll be disappointed if you have another of the same sex etc etc.

I have 2 boys and am expecting a 3rd.

I did want a girl this time round but when I was told it was a boy I was happy he was healthy and not disapointed at all.

People do assume I am disapointed but I am not; I would of been disapointed if they has found complications, that was my worst nightmare.

I rather like some of the comments I get, someone said I must be a very strong woman to be blessed with only sons.

Like I said, I personally don't get people that come out of sonars bolting their eyes out because they are disappointed with the sex. In fact, I agreed with OP in another thread that many women set themselves up for gender disappointment, because many do.

However, when you say people should just be happy their babies are healthy, that does imply that those disappointed with the gender don't make health their top priority.

Don't wish to argue, but for the record I didn't make any comment on health of babies. I doubt anyone would put the sex of a baby over the health of him/her & I've cetainly never implied anyone would.

I was simply defending the OP - I saw this thread as simple celebration for those of us with 2 or children of the same sex.
