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'm sorry, but I really can't understand this.  I find it a bit unfair to all your girls.  It's like mommy & daddy weren't satisfied with me so they kept having more babies.  That can be detrimental to a kid.  Kids CAN and WILL pick up on things like that.  What if one of your girls ends up detriment in something great with her life that is beyond beleif? Cure a disease? Saves lives?  Invents something that will revolutionize our lives?  Would it really matter what gender she is?  It breaks my heart when ever I see couples keep having children just for a certain gender.  And it's not fair to the siblings. So sad.

i understand that clearly, even he said he feels like he failed me and that its not my fault, but it still doesn't make me feel bad that I can't share that experience with him you know..:(  I will love my child regardless, I have amazingly talented and beautiful girls God has blessed me with, but doesn't shake the fact that this time I really wanted a boy.  wish folks would just understand, I dont regret my child for one minute.

Yes the blood tests are accurate as they determine the chromosomes. Some people get told on ultrasound that early though and those are often incorrect so early in pregnancy.

If you were told gender via a genetic blood test, it is more than likely correct.
