bit of comfort needed

Hi ladies..I have a 16 yr old son and he was followed by three sister. the youngest being 5 months..I have to say they have all been equally as difficult but at different ages my son was a perfect baby very quiet and well behaved..then his siter arrived and if i had had her first i would have had my hubby done cos she was a nightmare!! i had not one nights sleep for the first 15 months lol but here I am with our youngest who is chilled out..has slept through from about eight weeks..is eating well is totally relaxed etc..so i find them all about the same..you will find kids go through stages of being difficult..would be fine if they did it all together but they tend to stagger it lol so sometimes it can seem continous...
Best of luck hun and hope all goes well xx

I am pregnant with baby #2 as well. I also have a son so I would love a baby girl, but I will be delighted either way, as long as baby is healthy. I have been told my soooo many people that girls are harder than boys???!!!
I also think you should of found out the sex, so you could get your head around it. How far gone are you?? Good luck xxx

I think sometimes its ok to have a slight preference. I mean you know whats most important - a healthy baby. And I'm sure you wouldnt be unhappy with a little boy. I think you should find out, so that you've got time to get used to whatever it is and get excited:) Dont be hard on yourself, some of the stuff other people say can sometimes really have an impact and influence us. good luck. xxx

Hi all Im having baby #2 & its taken an age to get here was beginning to think couldnt have another so obviously over the moon but now feel so guilty as I am desperate for a baby girl. I have a gorgeous little boy who is the best thing in the world but when he was a small baby he was very grizzly and didnt sleep I had post natal depression and all I seemed to hear was boys are always more difficult than girls - so dont know if thats had impact on my brain but I feel so bad as I know Im having a healthy baby and should be grateful. I dont know the sex but now wondering if I should of found out? just needed to get it off my chest I think but am I the only person feeling like this ?
