OMG I thought you meant after it was born!! It is personal choice to find out the *** of your baby but this is a definite 'con' to doing so! I haven't found out what this next (3rd) baby is and my 2 daughters want a girl but we have talked to them and explained that it doesn't matter if it is a girl or a boy, we just want a healthy baby....and we get what *** we are given!!! If your son is 8, he should understand! My 2 are 6 and 9 years and are fine with it. Congratulations on your baby...it MIGHT be a boy!!!! LOOOOOOOOL Johjoh! i had a big laugh reading your message,thank you. My son is accepting the idea of having a baby sister! And as you said ,at my next appointment, the OB may say : you have twins,both boys! If the OB is not sure ,she\he shouldn't say anything!

I know how you feel, we thought my daughter was going to be a boy early on, and even though I really wanted a girl (I have a son already) when I found out I was actually having a girl, I had to grieve the son I had lost (I'd already chosen a name and bought some clothes etc too). So just let your son be sad about losing his brother, acknowledge how he feels and then help him get excited about his new sister. Gonna take some time for sure but like you said,he's gonna love his new sis...unless the new OB(changed not for this incident) is gonna tell us :it a Boy'!! LOL.

He'll get over it, meanwhile you're having a little girl, how wonderful! It is wonderful indeed,plus i have already a boy and a girl,so i didn't mind at all if it would be a girl or a boy.The thing is we got used to the idea of a boy,started choosing names,looking for cloths...Adding to that,having a laugh with my son and how it would be wonderful to have a little brother,he would help taking care of him ... My son is eight so maybe it is going to take some time for him to get over it.

I know,the most important thing is that the baby is healthy,still it is a bit disappointing especially when you tell your son that he's going to have a little brother,he's very happy,talking about plans he has for his littla brother... And then when he hears that it's not gonna happen ,he falls apart crying,saying that he's gonna be all alone...It broke my heart and was mad at the OB! Any advice?
