Emily, 26, says she felt disappointed, disconnected and numb when she found out she was having a baby girl
A mum felt “disappointed” after finding out she was expecting a baby girl, “numb and disconnected” when she was born and had therapy to come to terms with not having a boy. Emily Duncan, 26, had her heart set on having one of each and felt sure she was pregnant with a boy after the birth of her eldest daughter, Sophia, four.
Emily, a stay-at-home-mum, said: "I’d always pictured having a little girl and having a little boy. I had this expectation for my life and that I was going to have a son. When we opened up that box and saw the little pink balloons it was quite shocking and not just to me but everyone in the room. "I really wanted one of each. I am one of six. We have a joke that we have a generational curse. I was very excited about having my first baby. I wasn’t upset as I wanted a girl first."
"There was a lot of pressure put on me to be the supplier of a grandson. We were sure it was a boy. I had different cravings - my demeanour was different - I checked off every single one of the old wives' tales." "You can feel disappointed and feel love. We can allow ourselves to have feelings and we don’t have to make a decision based of how we are feeling."
