kn how u feel hun
my 2 yaer old a girl

and thi time i really thougt i was a boy even beted 50 quid on it
but im actually pregnant with a girl again i was gutted at 1st took me 2-3 days to get a grip of myself
but now really happy and just gla she healthy but only planed on having 2 kids but it made think do we try again for a boy

I felt the same way with my last pregnancy I was convinced it was a girl, and it turned out it was def not a girl! I was so angry I cried on the way home from my appt, cried on the couch for hours after I got home, took me a while to accept i was having a boy.. and now he is 3 and I couldn't imagine life without him.. I feel so guilty.lol I love him with all my heart, now I'm pregnant again I find out what I'm having wed , I really want a girl so bad again, but I know now.god willvgive me what I need :)

I felt the same way. I really wanted a boy and I am pregnant with a girl. I have 4 kids and only 1 girl and she is my oldest. We have an amazing relationship and I can NEVER see me having the same with another child. It has been hard but I'm getting better. I am hoping that all my feelings will go away when she is actually here.

I was the same with my 2nd child even though I wanted a girl so bad I felt he would be a boy...at my gender scan I cried when they confirmed I would have my 2nd boy...I had envisioned myself all my life as a mother of a daughter and my first 2 babies were boys...I was heartbroken but after my son was born it all went away. My 3rd baby I knew right away I would have a girl, I just felt completely different and I was right! Then I met my now Husband, and found out that I was expecting a baby with him and even though I so wanted my daughter to have a sister I knew it was a boy I never had a doubt! So now I am the mother of 3 boys and 1 girl, and wouldnt change it for the world! I am now expecting baby #5 and have a gut feeling it will be my next girl I find out next month what I'll be having :) Dont worry those feelings are completely normal :)

Actually, I got a 'potty' shot and was told it 'looked like a girl' but yes you're right. I'm a woman, with a gorgeous boy and will always want to have that 'female connection' with a girl. I'm happy to have baby number 2 and comfortable to say this is all I can afford. I think this is sensible regardless whether you are single or not.
Anyway, my boy is happy to have his little brother and as time goes on I am too...boys are fantastic, my little one is quite amazing...The unfortunate thing is he is going to be 5 when baby is born so I didn't hold on to anything since then lol

Since you are "trying to find out where these feelings are coming from", then might i suggest the problem lies in the fact you "convinced yourself you were having a girl", and then to your shock and dismay found out you are having a boy?

Sounds to me like the convincing yourself of something that wasn't true is the root of your dismay.

I know how you feel. I have a son and I went a couple days ago to find out the gender of baby #2. I'm hoping for a girl, but it decided not to show the bits and kept the legs crossed and the cord was in the way. Then right at the end, the tech *thought* she saw testicles for a second but not totally sure. My husband would love to have 2 boys and we are pretty sure we won't try for a 3rd child. I want to a have a little girly girl so I can sew her all the cute dresses and everything. I don't know when I will find out for sure. It's ok to be a little disappointed after you have been thinking it probably was a girl. I'm sure your son is happy to have a brother? Do you still have any of his baby stuff? That might make it easier for you since you are a single mother. There are plenty of benefits of having two boys. I know that feel bro. It doesn't make you a bad person for wanting to have one of each. I hope all is well for you.

Thank you for your responses, glad to see others understand it. I had my U/s today so it's still new and I have to adjust.
I was so convinced it was my girl, you know, the last one to make my final set. I don't want anymore since I'm a single parent and want to have the best life possible for us all. Anyway, I have a beautiful boy already...he's truly amazing and I'm sure this one will be the cherry on my cake. HH9M's to you all x

sorry I mean when they told me my second was a boy :/

yer and plus I have lost count of how many people I have heard say I hope my baby isnt ginger - I had a friend do this, she had a little girl with bright red hair - oh ya have to laugh :)
