Boy or girl?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More and more people want to know the baby\u2019s gender\u2014and they want to know as soon as possible! A fun ultrasound at 15 weeks, or maybe we\u2019ll be able to tell during the first-trimester ultrasound?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what if the baby\u2019s gender turns out to be a huge disappointment? It\u2019s a taboo subject to talk about. When asked, \u201cDo you prefer a boy or a girl?\u201d the answer is usually \u201cno.\u201d \u201cAs long as the baby is healthy,\u201d \u201cWe should just be happy we\u2019re having a baby,\u201d and so on. All true, but there are still quite a few people who feel disappointed. And this disappointment brings a lot of guilt\u2014guilt toward the baby, but also toward those around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re reading this, many of you will have an opinion on this. It\u2019s also difficult. But you should know that the fathers and mothers really don\u2019t want to feel this way either, and they find it just as upsetting and painful! They\u2019re so happy that a baby is on the way! And they find it a terrible feeling because they, too, have people in their lives who can\u2019t have children. But they have to let go of their deepest wish for a specific gender. This feeling can run deep and cause even more sadness because of the guilt they feel about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In many cases, the disappointment subsides during pregnancy or after childbirth, but sometimes it lingers. This is difficult\u2014because of the taboo, because of feelings of guilt, and because parents feel they aren\u2019t allowed to talk about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
