Grieflike state

I've gone for my 20 week scan and it's already revealed that it's a boy... I really wanted my first to be a girl, one reason being I grew up with an older brother from hell. My colleagues have been asking what's the gender and I just keep lying that baby's legs keep crossing and we can't see. I'm really in denial and I feel so silly going through this grief-like state when I still have a healthy baby with ten fingers and a beating heart. I feel like a terrible mother.

Please do not take anything im saying in a negative manner....First just because you had a bad experience with your brother doesnt mean your son will treat his future siblings like that. Alot of times i feel so grateful that im given a chance to be someones mother. I know of alot of ppl that have tried for years n not hv babies or everytime have miscarriage. It doesnt matter if its a girl or a boy..pray for a healthy child. Its a belief that children in the tummy can feel their mothers emotions. I wish u hv a healthy pregnancy. Take care
