Unhappy abt baby gender

Just left the doctor and found out I'm having a girl. I never wanted a girl and instantly I felt a lose of connection with the baby. Normally I'm very happy n sending the ultrasound pics out quick but I personally haven't looked at them myself. All my life I imagined having a son because honestly motherhood can be scary and ive helper raise my nephews. Seeing my female cousins grow up has been a disaster in my family. I just don't feel like I can be a great mother 2 a little girl. I'm so unhappy and upset right now its baffling smh All I want to do is cry but unfortunately I have to hold off because its time for work. Just want to know what am I honestly experiencing.

My husband and I honestly was hoping for a boy because we have two girls already.  Once we did the gender ultrasound and it was another girl we instantly fell in love with her.  I'm sorry you feel the way you do but hopefully that will change.  You may need to speak with a counselor or someone if it's so bad you want to cry and became disattached because that's not healthy.  They feel what we feel and like it or not she's coming

Maybe it's just me but when I see posts like this I don't understand how you can be so upset over the gender of your child I've had 2 miscarriages and I want nothing more than just to have a healthy child the gender never really mattered to me I'm going to love my baby regardless if it's a boy or a girl

Awe can we all be more supportive of each other? All of us are hormonal and going through a lot of life changes. I don't think it is necessary to say she is selfish for wanting another shower either. I am on baby number 5 and every time, my family has insisted on throwing me a shower. I know so many women who have had 3 or more babies and a shower each time.
