I was so scared of having another boy, 3 full on boys would have tipped me over I think. DD was a gift we didnt expect and I suspected early on it was a girl because she was so different to my other 2 pregnancies. Here they arent allowed to tell you what the sex is, but they ladies at US gave our boys hints about it being different this time etc. I would have loved my baby no matter what, but we are so very happy it is a girl.
On another note- we went out to dinner afew nights ago and the young waitress asked if we had had our 2 sons to get a daughter- her parents had had 7 girls before they got the son they wanted- giving away 3 of their girls along the way.
Gender disappointment is common here. I know girls who were ignored by their grandparents or parents because they are girl. I know of babys being aborted at 5 months because they are not boys. Childrens welfare homes are full of little girls.
I can see both sides and understand them.
I have had 3 scans and all three times I have walked out and cried because all 3 times the scan revealed we were having girls. I feel quite alone in my disappointment, DH doesn't care what we have in fact he doesn't take an interest in pregnancy at all, I'd be lucky if he even touched the bump without my nagging.
He is great once the baby is out but while its in ....... nup no interest.
This will probably be our last baby, and its taken some time to "get over" the never having a boy, its all I wanted really. I am glad I found out early so then it gives me a chance to get use to the idea of another girl.
