I also throw in that my boys are adamant that they are going to have a brother and only want a brother and I'd like them to have a brother if thats what they want. I've also had a couple of comments along the lines of "must me mad" or "you brave woman".

People make me so sad + angry at their stupid comments! Unfortunately we're in the situation where everyone knows from previous pregnancies that we would love a girl + it just so happens my horrible sister in law (the one that was adamant she didn't want anymore kids after 2 boys) got the girl , my other sister in law is also due with a girl in june after 1 boy - all the family are all over her like a rash and no one was interested when ds3 was born :( .
I wish i had your courage to turn round and hide my feelings especially where family are concerned! think i need to find some good comebacks in preparation! :p x

No one knows my G Desire, I always say as long as they are healthy I don't care, that bit is true but if I had a girl it would be a big bonus!!!

Thanks to everyone on here for being so supportive-its so great that such a forum exists to share our thoughts about gender desire as its such a taboo topic in the 'real world'. I'm grateful to have a place where I can shout 'I'd love to have a little lady' and know that if I don't hear those magic words at my next scan, that I'll be supported to deal with my gender disappointment. Its such an emotional roller coaster and I'm just really glad to be sharing the journey with the lovely ladies on here xx

I remember watching a programme on Channel 4 (English channel) about gender desire!! the girl was devastated when she seen boy on the scan. It was the topic of conversation the next day with my friends and family. They were all disgusted with her attitude, I had to sit and agree!!! I felt such a fake. I wouldn't of had as bad a reaction but I would feel a bit sad.

Everyone that knows me knows we want a girl. Of course when they say such things, I usually reply that is what I am hoping for but if we have another boy he and my youngest will be such great friends.

Danielle88 ; How is it going? Are you feeling better?

I remember that program being on but didn't watch it.
I have a friend who had 4 girls first, then a boy, she tried for a brother for him and got a girl, then had 2 more boys so almost evened out her family. I remember her wanting a boy and even then I could understand why she would, I guess because I love boys. Maybe back when I was more naive about it if she had had all boys and wanted a girl I wouldn't have understood because at that time I only had 1 boy and was happy to have another. The idea of a daughter never even entered my head.
Some times I think people can see through me, but I always try to make light of it. I say I only have brothers, I'm not very girly, even if I did have a girl, with my influence and 3 older brothers she'd be like a boy anyway LOL I say a girl would make a nice change because I'd get a shopping spree and have more choice of things to buy at Christmas. I pick silly little things to try to convince them I'm not bothered.

pebmcp6 looking at your ticker, yes we do I'm also due the 17th.

I also hate the comments. I know a girl that has 6 kids too, we both go to mother and toddler group together and she has just revealed she is having number 7. (She is 2 weeks behind me) People are already saying to her, OMG 7! What will they say when they hear about me!! and I have all the one gender they have extra ammunition for me LOL!!!! I also feel a bit sneaky not saying when she is telling everyone!! But I have not told my Mum or anyone.

peb, when you do announce if anyone asks why you kept it quiet you can just say you had a little scare early on, you dont haveto say whay the scare is, you know a bit of bladder leakage when sneezing should count;) then that stops the immediate gender comments:)

And for those who might be getting their 3rd 4th + in a row, just tell them 'Well its like winning the lottery 4 times in a row! We just can't stop buying tickets!!!' Big families are Cooool!!! Heres hoping that everybody is about to start their run of new genders xxx

Another one for us, this baby will be DHs paternal grandparents 18th great grandchild and out of all of those, there are my 3 boys, and 1 of our nephews that will carry on the family name. All of the boys have had girls, and the girls have had the boys. So I can use "well someones got to keep the name going, theres only 4 atm so another boy would help the cause"

Well ladies tomorrow is the big day!!! I have done a lot of soul searching the past few weeks and days and even though I would love a little girl I will be ok if baby turns out to be a boy!! I hope for my DD that it is a girl so she has a sister, but for myself as long as the baby is healthy I will be happy!!! I may be slightly let down, but I know that God has a plan!! I am hoping for a girl, but I totally expect baby to be a boy. I am going into thinking this way so I won't be let down. (hopefully). I guess we will see what happens on Saturday!
