How do you feel about the gender of your baby?

Surprise here, this time around, but will be happy with either!

I answered, although I'm not in your target group really. First time around I wanted a boy, was terrified of having a girl, and had a girl (which, it turns out, isn't so bad ).
This time, I would have been fine having either, but I was very happy to find ut we are expecting another girl. I preferred a girl. Although not enough that I would have been disappointed not to have one.

I was happy to have either - I guess I kind of wanted a girl a little more than a boy (only because everyone I know who has had a baby in the last couple of years has had boys!), but I wouldn't have been disappointed had she been a boy. I'm grateful for the ability to have a child.

I had my second daughter in Dec 2011 and her gender was a surprise (as was her older sister's) and I was thrilled! I know I would have been slightly disappointed if we'd had a boy. I'd love another girl when we try for a third child too!

Baby number 3 was a girl. Thank goodness. If it had been a boy i would have loved him but perhaps not have coped with 3 boys. Our gentle girl is just what was needed. Balances the full on monkeys

I wanted to have a boy first to appease DH's family....they kept harping on about the family name and that unless someone *hint hint* has a Boy it will be lost forever
And I got one so now the pressure is off!

Being that this is my last baby I was kinda sorta hoping for a girl BUT I have to admit another Boy would be very convenient - same toys etc

I voted wanted a girl, got a girl. For my first pregnancy I had more of a leaning towards a girl. The second I really didn't care. This time I got the perfect third girl I was wanting.

I voted for really wanting a boy and getting a boy. We actually found out the sex at the 20w scan and didn't tell anyone that we knew... I really needed to know what I was having. I think it stemmed from DH having 2 girls from a previous relationship and wanting to give him something different. He wasn't concerned in the slightest, but I really wanted us to have a boy.

After desperately wanting a second girl and getting a boy, I was very surprised to find myself desperately wanting my last pregnancy to be a boy, so that he would have a little mate. I'd always seen myself the mother of girls, and yet here I was, wanting the opposite lol.
Same as DSs pregnancy I decided not to find out the sex at the morphology scan as I didn't want to have a moments disappointment towards my baby. I know other people say that knowing makes them prepared and more able to come around to the idea, but that didn't feel right for me. However, during the scan I saw for myself what gender baby was. I kept it to myself for the longest time. I gave her her name and that made her more real to me.

Some people told me I should be grateful for a healthy baby. She was my seventh pregnancy. I'm all too aware of the miracle that is a healthy baby. In the end I'm not disappointed. Not like I thought I might be. But I was very fearful of my own possible feelings.

If you had of asked me this a year ago
I would have said I hope it's a boy. But after two miscarriages the truth is all I want is a baby.

[Lolpigs]

I was so scared of having a girl, but was so rapt when she was born I want another and think I will be a little sad if this one is a boy.

I would have liked to have a little girl with this pregnancy as its my last and was a bit worried about gender disappointment if I were to find out its a boy but we found out I'm having a second little boy and am thrilled! No gender disappointment at all! Main thing is that I was able to naturally conceive this little boy and have a healthy baby!
