Is it normal if i would consider giving up a baby because of gender?

I saw how they abort babies at 4 months, which is the age you found out their gender. It's nearly a fully formed fetus at that point, not a clump of cells. It can feel pain and the idea of some doctor ripping my poor child limb from limb disgusts me. I could not imagine the idea of a mutilated baby being pulled out of me. I don't know how any woman could stomach that.

I don't mean to sound cruel or less loving, but I know newborns get adopted easily. I really want a beautiful girl who I can dress up. I just always wanted a daughter. I had a daughter before that I sadly lost due to personal reasons I will not disclose..

I felt so lucky to have one, but now I no longer have her and I feel horrible. I always felt like I was carrying a boy, so she was a good surprise. I would love to have another little girl. I know the chances are unlikely for it to be a girl, so I might give up if I keep having boys.

I am not worried about getting attached because if I do, I guess I can change my mind at that point. That and I dealt with losing a kid before, so I guess I can handle it again if I decide to go through with that.

Even though I thought my daughter was a boy at first, I was planning on keeping her anyway.. but she made me realize how badly I really wanted a girl.

Please no mean comments..

  • Because you implied you would give up your child depending on their gender and you already lost your first kid I conclude you would be a shit parent and should not have kids. It's clear you only want a daughter to fulfill your own needs which will only destroy them. Please get fixed as it is the responsible thing to do.

      • I'm nobody special. I also had a vasectomy because I am self aware of my mental illness and it was the responsible thing to do.
        Please work on your anger management.

        I know. What the hell? It doesn't help that i already wake up every day feeling empty inside and like just killing myself because of this. People have no empathy and forget were people behind these computers with feelings. They did a good job already confirming my low aelf esteem and making
        E feel like shit. Bravo thanks for making me cry. I had only one simple dream to raise a family. I guess that just goes to show you i cant amount to shit. Because ppl online think they can make such accurate assumptions based on one little post. (Hint if sarcasm)

    Not normal. I kinda get where you're coming from but I've always thought of it this way:
    If you have a son and some day have a daughter she will have a big brother who will care for her & they'll have banter and laugh and grow up to be so close.
    My older brother is so special to me in that way.

      Thanks for answering without being a huge jerk.

  • I am realizing I am unhappy with the cynical hateful person I am becoming so I will start with apologizing to you. I suppose it made me think that you said you cried for 2 hours because of my comments. I don't like that is in me anymore and want to work on being helpful in more positive ways, which will take me some work.
    I do have serious issues with some people parents and there is stuff that made me have the opinions I have and I am aware of that.
    I have decided to work on being more positive and thank you for helping my with my epiphany as I have been having many of them lately.
    In the future try not to let people get you down easily. It will only cause issues for you. I suggest perhaps seeking some therapy for your own experiences and working on yourself if you truly want children. Don't raise them to be like me.

    I can understand your want to have a certain gender. There's nothing wrong with that. I've always felt like I'd like to have a girl if I ever had a child. It's probably much worse for you considering you already had a girl before. It probably doesn't mean much coming from an internet stranger, but I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even imagine how painful that must have been.

    All that being said, I really do not think it would be normal for you to give up your baby because it's not the gender you wanted. That's pretty extreme to me. Even though you may not think so right now, you would probably regret giving up your child later on. Just think about if your child ever decided to meet you one day and how difficult it would be to explain to them why you decided to give them up...

    Alternatively, If you have the money, you CAN choose your baby's gender. Scientists have known how to do this for some time now. Ignoring the cost and whether it's ethical or not, the morality of this approach is arguably way better... Maybe give it some thought?

      Thanks for being honest and open minded about my thoughts on this. I think you are right. It is one thing to entertain the idea of it, but I will most likely be too attached to my next baby to even comprehend why I thought that in the first place.
      It's probably going to be different when I am actually holding the newborn..
      I won't have another kid for a while, as I am still depressed over my first one and I know I will never fully move on from losing her. You are right. Trying to forget her and move on is so hard. No matter how much I pretend to be over it, I know I am really not.

      I don't know why people have to be so judgemental. A lot of people lose custody battles for different or unfair reasons. It doesn't mean I was a shit parent or didnt love my daughter though.

      The person who said that is so mean. Ive been told a lot in my life but never Anything that bad. Ive been crying on and off again for nearly 2 hours. Its like they ripped my wound wide open and rubbed salt in it. They never saw me interacting or bonding with her so I don't know how they can say that.

      I was honestly afraid of reading the new response. I was afraid you were gonna say hateful things too. So thanks for being refreshing and saying something different.

      • I will apologize if I made you feel bad. It's not actually my intention to bring people down, but I am unsure how to make people think by being positive.
        I think I can give some more information to at least help as I can tell you may have some issues.
        It's not good to invest emotions into the internet. People say all kinds of mean things online and in real life and most people cannot be trusted. Many people online are probably even more fucked up and there isn't much you can do about that.
        I tend to say my opinions in very harsh ways because it's the only way I know how. I'm probably quite fucked up myself and perceive the world as an evil hateful place that I do not even like. I never wanted kids myself because I felt it was the cruelest thing I could do to bring someone in the world. I wont get into my life story. It's posted in anonymous posts throughout this site and they are never normal and I'm not even a troll. I sometimes wonder if I actually have nothing positive to say about my world outlook because I've seen horrible things and personally think this might be hell.
        So I probably often bring people down without trying to. There are others who are much worse than me who do it on purpose, so try to be more careful how you respond to others as everything anyone says should never be taken anything more than neutral information.

    Do what you want, but there are other people who have the same problem your not the only one you can research it and read their stories some wanted boys some wanted girls and are extremely disapointed seems most wanted girls from the time I was having a read but they have stories of some never feeling a connection that they thought they would and feeling disconnected or some are fine after they hold they baby.

    Nope either gender is just fine. My moms pregnaunt she wanted a girl and his having a boy. She was not hally at first but now i really happy. It doesnt matter the gender. I have a friend who wanted a girl and got a girl and got a boy. Now the boy is older and she says she wishes she could have ten more boys. She said she wanted to have a girl because she knew about girls. But she learned so much from having a boy.

    If it's a boy you can have its dick & balls snipped off by the doctor and raise it as a girl.

    Love your child for what gender it is ffs. My mom's sister only had 4 boys but you don't see her complaining about it.

    I know a few couples who had either several boys or several girls against what they actually wanted so I think it's fine to selectively abort. What's the alternative,actually have 5-6 kids and hate most of them? In more backwards countries they kill the baby when it's born so I think changing attitudes is #1 and allowing abortions is #2

  • What if your mother had the same mentality, but wanting a boy? You wouldn't be here. So if you exist, you are not entitled to take someone else's life thinking like this. You seem to have very preconceived notions and this is bad. If you want a kid, get a kid, and take care of them just in the way they are. You do not have the right of deciding what kind of kid to have or their gender. That was not given to humans as a form of power, we are not meant to handle that.

      You think i even give a shit? I hate my fucking life. Like one commenter said maybe i shouldve just been aborted. And from what you fail to u understand is that I said ADOPTION. I don't believe in abortion. My kid would still be here to live just raised by someone else.
