Ashley Iaconetti talks gender disappointment
On one of the latest episodes of the Almost Famous podcast with Ben Higgins, Ashley Iaconneti opened up about facing gender disappointment during her first pregnancy.
The moment Ashley and Jared found out they were having a baby boy, Ashley admits she was very disappointed. She said, “I had such gender disappointment with Dawson.” She had a gut feeling that she was not having a little girl but was still disappointed when they got the news.
Why did she feel this way? Ashley said, “For me, it was like I’m not going to have that sister-sister bond. That was really sad for me. It didn’t last very long.”
How does she feel about baby number two? She doesn’t care about gender so much anymore. In fact, Ashley says she won’t be disappointed if baby number two is a little boy. If it is then he and Dawson will hopefully have a strong brotherly bond.
Now that she and Jared have Dawson they cannot imagine life without him. Ashley said, “He’s, like, the most beautiful child ever. I mean, maybe, I’m biased, but holy crap, I got a cute kid. And he’s sparkling on the inside too. He’s quite the personality.”
When will they try for baby number two?
Ashley has shared that she and Jared will be trying for baby number two very soon. She recently admitted that she just went off birth control. Of course, she also said they are just lightly trying for now. If it happens it happens. She definitely wanted to wait until summer was over to try for baby number two in case she got really sick again.
She is just a little nervous about being pregnant again because she was so sick with Dawson. Nausea lasted her entire pregnancy. She shared the journey with fans and many felt incredibly sorry for her having such a rough time.
What do you think about Ashley experiencing gender disappointment? Have you ever experienced it?
Stay tuned for more updates on Ashley and Jared. Perhaps a baby announcement will be coming in the next few months.
