hehe mine is also still a surprise atm. but voted that we don't mind either way![]()
there isn't an option for me either, I am having a girl and I really would have preferred a girl!
Happy to have either!
I wanted to duplicate the other poll, but will add in options for those having a surprise who want a particular gender.

No option relates to my 2012 baby. Had a girl, preffered a girl. That was mostly because I already had a girl and wanted the same gender. If I had had a boy first I would have been more keen on another boy lol.
Yeah, I had a girl and wanted a girl. Not sure if the poll had the correct listing? It repeats itself with the options?
This poll wont apply to everyone, trying to get a comparison of preference where there is disappointment with boys vs girls.

I'm trying to copy a duplicate of the older poll for consistency and don't want to make it too long and complicated... also if you found out you had a girl and wanted a girl then there would be no disappointment? I'll add it in anyway, the journalist can sort it all out I am sure.
I think the last 12 months should be fine Kim.

I ticked "having a boy but would have liked a girl" - for me the emphasis was on "would have liked" because with two boys already, it "would" have been nice to have a little girl. But having said that, I'm not experiencing gender disappointment. Far from it. A girl would have been nice, but another boy is a gift. Honestly, I'm just VERY happy (a) to be having another baby and (b) that bub is healthy.
How recently recent do you want? Is 5 months too long ago?
How about:
I am having/had a boy and really wanted a boy
I am having/had a girl and really wanted a girl
It is a bit different to "happy with either gender" as it is about wanting one gender in particular without the disappointment. I know that you are looking for disappointment specifically but if I were pregnant, I might not be able to find an answer in the above poll that is appropriate for my situation with the above choices.
ETA: I was a little slow here, missed the above responses while I was typing![]()
