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.
