A MOTHER has revealed that she struggled to get pregnant with her second child, and was left hugely disappointed when she did, and found out she was having a boy. Char, a content creator and mum to two toddlers , explained that she felt “horrendous guilt” that she was unhappy with the gender , but confessed that this doesn’t make her a bad mum. In fact, the mother took to social media to reveal that gender disappointment is much “more common than you think”.
Posting online, Char said: “I was so disappointed when I found out I was having a boy , I really thought I was destined to be a girl mum, and this is coming from a girl who suffered with infertility .” She confessed: “The guilt I felt for even thinking that when I found out who is a boy, was horrendous. “I'll repeat again, it is okay to admit this - it doesn't make you a bad mum, and it certainly doesn't make you ungrateful.
” Char explained that she was “convinced” she was going to have another girl, after previously welcoming her first child, a daughter named Phoebe. She shared that although she was gutted when she discovered she would be having a son, once she got her head “around it” and when he was born, she claimed that “everything fell into place.” Regardless of her previous concerns, Char continued: “Although I didn't see myself with a boy, I now couldn't live without one.
” She described her son as the “apple of [her] eye” and admitted that she is “so lucky to have him.” .
