I def. would have been just as upset over not having sons. I really had a strong desire for a boy with my first and happily got him, and then was neutral with my 2nd (even tho everyone around me wanted me to have a girl, I really didn't care either way) and I rem. looking down at him and saying "It's a boy!" and being really just totally overjoyed about it.
All along I just thought there would be a girl at some point in the mix but years passed and we didn't have enough money or space to TTC again. I never felt scared or worried, I just thought it had to happen eventually from sheer luck.
Even when I got pg with DS 3 I didn't have a strong pref. either way. I wanted a girl but I thought I'd be happy about a boy too because I love being a boy mom. It was only when I had so many girl symptoms and then the Chinese Gender Predictor said girl, that I got so invested in the idea that I set myself up for such a huge disappointment.
If i understand your queston correctly, i would have to say all my life i wanted a daughter, and i got one first up so i never really felt GD. I was over the moon when i found out she was a girl, not sure how i would have felt if it was a boy? Being the first child it probably wouldn't have made me upset or anything, i am not sure.
I am swaying for a boy, more for DP than me, he now has 3 daughters and longs for that boy. I am not going to be upset with another daughter, he probably is though, and i want to do it for him. So in answer to your question Yes i would sway for an opposite while i already have my DG.
Yep, I wanted both. Not a PP, but BBG or BGG. But I'll be happy with BBBG, wouldn't trade DS3 for the world. :)
Yes definitely. I really wanted DS1 to be a boy, to the point that when people said I was carrying like a girl baby I was disappointed. When he came out a boy I was overjoyed. I didn't sway with DS2 either and when I was pregnant I didn't care either, but I was confident he was a SHE. It was only once he was born that I realized I wanted a girl as well as a boy. I always wanted 3 kids, so I have swayed for pink this time. When DS2 was newborn I was desperate for a girl, but now he is nearly 2, and the boys play so well together and are just gorgeous I find myself a little less obsessed with having a girl. I think it's just that everyone keeps saying I 'need' a girl, I feel like I am missing out on something if I dont get her, if you know what I mean?
Yes. I would have wanted both and would have turned to HT for a girl had I had only boys. I did want a boy first though so I say that with that baggage so perhaps difficult to answer accurately.
I always had a desire to have one daughter, and now that I have my girls I adore them. But if I'd only had boys I probably would not have swayed to get a girl since I feel so terrified of being a bad mama to daughters :(
No :hide: i always wanted three girls. I bet DH would have wanted a boy, and if he wanted one, then yes I would have for him. I wouldn't trade my DS's for the world and I'm so glad I have them but to be honest, no.
I would still sway too. I would like to be able to experience having both a boy/s and girl/s. But, like Cinss, I am mainly swaying for DH and I won't be too upset if it's a girl, but I know he would.
If I had all boys, I may have wondered "what if", but I would not have swayed for a girl. I never wanted daughters, so if I had ended up with a bunch of boys like I wanted, I would never have known (or cared) what it was like to have a girl.
