Hi All, hope you're all well I just wanted to use the space to write out my desire for a son. I already have two daughters aged 1 and 2 who are my everything but recently I can't help but wonder what it would be like to have a son. My own parents family is quite balanced but my husbands side has a lot more girls and very few boys maximum if any 1 boy per family. At first I used to be very anxious about having boys as I often saw other familys boys and how complicated their behaviour can be especially when they become teenagers plus my own brothers are such a handful. It really put me off but then I guess I realise at the end of the day its down to parenting and what guidance and things I will teach my children that determine what kind of people they will be.
When I was pregnant with my first and second people kept guessing and predicting I was going to have boys but I ended up having girls. I'm from an asian background and having a boy or heir in our culture is seen an a great achievement. But the thing is that's not important to me all I want is a son that I can love just like my daughters. I even have a name for him lol.
My husband and I have decided to go for a third child and I discussed the options of trying to naturally sway for a boy and he's being very supportive in fact he also believes it something to do with "timing" I guess there are a lot of things that I have to overcome right now over the next few months like the possibility of GD. Plus the inevitable comments and guesses once I become pregnant. Most of all its the pressure I really dread, the invisible silent expectation, the anticipation. I'm looking to TTC in October and November. Hopefully in the mean time I can do my research change my diet and try anything I can to sway for a baby son :DS: I'm dreaming of. Thanks for listening.
