Hi Morgan,

You are really brave to accept and admit the way you feel about this and I take my hat off to you. I hate that so many things are "assumed" about pregnant women and the fact that people expect you to be over the moon about the sex of your baby is one of them.

Big hugs to you. I, like Shannon, was going to suggest that maybe it would be a good idea to see a counsellor to help you work through the issues you're facing. Having a baby is a wonderful thing and I would hate for your experience to be marred by the way you're feeling. Also, having a baby can be a bloody DIFFICULT (!) thing, and sometimes you can feel really low - if you have these feelings already it might complicate things further on, so better to deal with it as early as you can.

It certainly is a common thing and I think more awareness needs to be brought to it. I really hope that you're able to find a way to feel good about your pregnancy. BB is a great source of support. Good luck.
