2 babies of same sex ??

I just went to the doc today & got my results! The baby is healthy, normal looking, & it another girl! I was just sure it was a boy bc my pregnancies were totally different! This one was wayyy worse! I wasn't prepared to hear girl bc I just thought I was super sick with a boy. I'm scared! I'm scared bc I'm never going to have a son or a mommas boy! I'm scared bc I'm having 2 girls! How am I going to love another baby? How is another baby girl going to compare to the one I have? Idk if I'm just getting a reality check that I will never have a son or if I'm crazy! If these feelings are normal? I am very lost today! I'm a little hurt & a little happy. My daughter will have a baby sissy & friend now! But today was bittersweet! I'm very honest & open! You never know if someone's ever been in our shoes or felt the way you've felt so I'm just wondering how do I accept that I won't be having a son? How do I love another little baby girl without comparing her to my daughter(whom I'm obsessed with)? Anybody feel the same before labor?

I had the same feelings with my #2 son.  It was very confusing because my pregnancies were so different, I even thought maybe the ultrasound was wrong.  It was hard.  Here we are, almost 8 years later and having a girl this time!  I'm so completely excited!  And my boys love each other.  They both wanted a sister too, so they are extra happy as well.  I would just say, you don't know what your future holds, even if you got your tubes tied after this baby, you could get pregnant again in a few years...  If not, you might change your mind and want to try again in a few years.  It just all depends.  Life has a funny way of giving what we need, maybe not what we want, but what we need.  Good luck!

Trust me, no matter the gender you will love them equally..I promise you that. I had a son, then a daughter and pregnant with #3 and I had those same feelings, how am I going to have another boy or girl and not compare it to it's brother/sister, but it comes naturally, trust me. Sisters are a blessing..I have two sisters and we're best best friends, it's amazing and you'll see the joy in it when she's here.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I'm 31 years old on my fourth (yep, 4th) pregnancy. All are boys. I'm about to be a mother of FOUR BOYS...

I wanted a girl soooo bad, but it's just not going to happen. I cried when my 3rd was revealed to be another boy. I soooooo thought he was a girl. Everything in my gut said girl, but he was/is most definitely a boy!

And now, I'm 19 weeks along with another boy. I knew almost from the start that he was a boy. I tried my best not to hope for a girl, and when it was revealed to be a boy, I didn't cry. I knew it. But it still doesn't erase my sadness of not having my little girl... and this being my fourth, I probably never will..

BUT, to ease your mind.. Even though they are all boys, they are all COMPLETELY different, and fill my life with such joy that I would never replace them with a girl, even if I had the choice to. You'll see, when your second girl is born, you'll notice such a difference in them that it won't matter. It'll feel new and just as joyful as your first.

I know how you feel. I have two boys 18 months apart. I was hoping for the boy and the girl. Now am pregnant again,but at the ultrasound the baby had its legs closed and I don't know what it is. They said they will not schedule me for anymore ultrasounds because the baby is healthy. I guess I will find out at delivery.

I'm having another boy. First is 16 months in a few days. I'm dreading the things they will come up with and get into. I'm doomed!!! I feel like I will never have a girl. But the clothing selection these days I'm ok with that. Lol. I do love my little baby boy and he is my world! (Other than my amazing hubby). And I sometimes think the same about how am I going to love 2 little boys the same. But you always do. And it will be fine. Just have faith.

I have two girls and they're amazing. They're 22 months apart and they play great together and they're only 1 and 2 (almost 3):) Every pregnant woman knows exactly how your feeling. You feel like you don't have enough love to give to the other one but you do.  Just wait until the beautiful baby girl comes out then you won't even remember why you were even scared.  I'm pregnant again and hoping for a boy for my husband but honestly expecting a girl. Lol

Thank you all! I feel so much better now! I think I needed to meditate on it & I realized how excited I am now! I have been looking up baby shower ideas on pinterest! I guess I just needed to realize that my "gut" feeling isn't always right & that's totally ok. Now my daughter will have a bff & I will be raising 2 classy ladies❤

Awww, happened to me. Desperately wanted a boy, although I already had two, I wanted three total, I LOVE little boys. When they told me it was a girl I wanted to cry, then I was like imma wait for second ultrasound because I believe it's a boy. Second ultrasound sound, still a girl. So I accepted it and started buying pink things but at heart was still hoping for a boy till the end! So labor came and had my girl. been 3 weeks now with her and LOVE her so much and thank God he gave me a girl and not a boy as she gives me something new to look forward too. My boys adore her and husband is so happy too. So like someone else said, till you hold her you will see :-)

I was so sure that this pregnancy I was having a boy. I was so sick with my first daughter and this time around nothing. And I mean everything's different from how I feel to weight gain. I was so sure. Welp I was wrong... Another girl. My husband was hoping for a boy but he's preparing himself to be a father of two girls. Lol. I'm not worried that we won't love her just as much as our first. I think that feeling you feel will pass the minute you get to hold her.
