I saw some women say they want a boy for a baby, what about a girl??

if you were to want to have a baby in the future, ladies, what gender do you want?

Are you really wanting a certain gender or do you leave it up to fate? Whatever will be will be?

and also, if you want a girl, why?

give reasons.

same with a boy.

First and foremost, I would like to go for adoption unless outstanding circumstances happen and a pregnancy happens between my SO and I.

Boy or a Girl, it matters not. I will love my child regardless of their gender, it would be such silliness to want to choose.

Would you love your own child less, if they are of a specific gender?

What if they decide they want a gender reassignment when they are older, would you love your child less?

If an individual wants to become a parent, I do not believe they should carry such a mindset or such a heart in raising their own child. It would be unfair to them, to have them strive for something they inherently cannot change about themselves.

Obviously doesn't matter but we are hoping for a boy lol

You are pregnant Libra?

No way!! Lol

Oh right

*hoping for a boy* sounds like ye are

Do the test! 😄

I have an IUD. I'm not lol. Plus we already did that test a few times and I definitely am not. He brings up the baby thing so much. And we agreed we hope for a boy lol. But I said not for at least 2 years after we marry.

Good luck with it! 🙂

I agree. The mindset is first and foremost, " how am I gonna be able to raise this child, under what circumstances, financial, and prepare for everything, have the baby room ready, will I breast feed, will I set the baby bed in the room so he/she wakes in the middle of the night, she/he will be right there to feed." that kind of thing is important, especially in the early years when the baby is born, they wake up hungry in the middle of the night, there is lack of sleep. get ready for a lot of hard work.

I had one, just one - a boy - now he's got 3 boys so now I've got 4 boys - always hoped for the experience of a girl but I don't believe that is going to happen ... girls are harder to raise than boys - in general - but they are all so much fun !
