Well you could just choose not to find out, then when you have given birth you'll be so relieved you won't care what it is...

I think it's good that you're being honest about this Roslyn, after all 99% of people do have a preference one way or the other, even if only a slight one, but lots of people won't admit to it. There's nothing wrong with feeling disappointed if it's another boy. Even if you burst into tears at the ultrasound, it doesn't mean you will love your new little son any less! It's just part of the natural process of mourning the loss of the imaginary/hoped for baby while rejoicing in the real baby you are having. It happens to most mothers, not only with gender but also if your baby is different looking or has a different personality than you expected. Once you get past losing the imaginary baby, you can truly appreciate the wonderful unique person that your actual baby is.

I was very disappointed in my first at times, because I expected a very outgoing, cuddly baby who would be very advanced (of course!) and got a shy, slow to warm up baby who was normal but a bit late developmentally. But of course I adore him and wouldn't have him any other way (most days!)
