Heartbroken...

I prayed and prayed. Practically begged God to bless me with the one thing to complete my husband. I had 3 girls and one son prior. He had 3 girls prior. We hadour 1st baby girl together last year. Im 38. High risk. 6th and last pregnancy. 13 weeks. I get the call today with the gender revealing. And my heart fell to the floor when she said its a "girl".  Another girl...no chances of me ever being the one to carry his son.  The perfect man. Husband. And I cant give him that. Knowing that deep down he was soo hoping to have a son of his own.  I couldnt stop crying.  I know its not my fault or determination but the fact that I really wanted to give him that gift makes me feel like a looser that I cant and never will after this...

I agree with the others,  this seems silly.  Based on the title,  I was fully expecting that you lost your baby.  I'm one of those mothers who was unfortunate enough to have lost my baby 2 hours after giving birth.  I can fully relate to the lady who just lost her baby shortly after birth because I was there 6 months ago.  Please be grateful that you have a healthy baby on the way.   I would have done anything to keep from losing my baby.   He should've been 3 months old now or 6.5 months uncorrected.  Im really not trying to make you feel bad, just trying to put things into perspective.

I read about that woman who had 2 hours with her son, that is truly heartbreaking. Not getting the gender you want isn't heartbreaking, it's life.  Be happy enough with the fact you're able to get pregnant at all, you could be infertile.

Wow just be lucky your having a baby!!!!!!!! So many couples can't and would give anything to have their own child boy it girl... Can't believe how selfish this is! So are you going to tell your daughter you cried for days when you found out she wasn't a boy? Get over it, just be glad your able to have a child together who cares if it's a boy or NOT! Sorry but I just do not understand. Really it would not care if I only ever had girls or boys, as that is what it was suppose to be like! And for that matter "God" is not actually something that can grant such stupid requests!!!!!!!

I do not mean any disrespect. I understand not getting what you truly wanted can be disappointing, but to say it's heartbreaking kinda blows my mind, regardless of how many babies you already have. The reason I say this is because I recently read & replied to a mother who unfortunately lost her son two hours after his csection birth. That is heartbreaking! That poor mommy went through everything we're all going through, but she doesn't get to bring her baby home. She doesn't get to breast feed our change diapers. Please be thankful that you're pregnant, regardless if boy or girl because you'd be devastated if anything happened to that precious soul living inside you.
