Failed girl sway. Devastated beyond belief

[Kazmac]

Had 20 week scan on the 9th october. Found out its a boy and haven't really stopped crying since. I don't feel an ounce of excitement for this pregnancy now at all. If I had known I was going to be this devastated I probably would not have gotten pregnant. I'm 40 now so this was my last child and now my dreams of my beautiful daughter Sienna are gone. Everyone else's sways seem to have worked and I don't know why mine didn't. I feel robbed. Sorry for venting.

So sorry. Big hugs.

So sorry, vent as much as you need.

[sweetdream]

I'm sorry. Guess your boy was the 20-30% chance against him.
You can vent all you need.
I hope you can look forward in the near future again as I know you will adore your son.

Wish you strength

Hi Hun. I don't know if this baby is your first or if you have other boys. I had my second son a month ago. When I saw that he was a boy in a private gender scan @ 16 weeks I was gutted and only just made it to the car before breaking down. I swayed and prayed so hard for so long and I was bitter as to why I 'failed' when so many others succeed or just have an pops and get their DG.

Now he is here I can see him as my perfect opposite; he was just meant to be. I'm not saying that when other people get their pp it doesn't hurt like a b*tch because it does however as soon as I saw him and held him, all I knew was that I loved my CHILD I didn't even think of his gender.

You will be ok, give yourself time.

Not sure which number DS this is and so so sorry your sway didn't work. Don't give up total hope of having your DD just yet though, I had DS2 and DS3 at 41 and 43 (naturally) and HT DD at 45....after DS3 was born my dreams were all shattered too and I was in a very very bad place. It will get better I promise and you will fall in love with him. Hugs xx

Sending many bear hugs your way.

Sorry to hear you. But you are young and can be pregnant again.... For sure your boy will be so cute and georgeous that when you'll see his face you'll fall in love with him. Big huges

OH no I'm sorry it didn't go your way. It isn't anything you did or didn't do, it's just luck at the end of it all.

Thanks everyone for your support and kind words. This is DS2. I told my partner I wanted another child (girl) and he was not impressed! He just doesn't understand how I feel.
