What if it is a girl child or a boy child?

We do ultrasound scan during the fifth month of pregnancy.

In United States, we get to know the gender of the child, but we don't get to
know the gender in India. Well, that is a different story and it is a law in
India.

Coming to the point - When we come to know it is a boy or girl - there is a
narrow thinking in most of us, who are brought up in a conservative and slightly
narrow-minded society. There is a differnce in thinking or feeling, when we hear
it is a boy or a girl.

Is it the problem with the culture we are brought in? Even ladies(mother, grand-mother) think the same way? Why?

Whatever it is - it is a child - god given! Shouldn't we be just happy? Even if
we are happy - people come and give advice and say the advantages and disadvantages to us? Why??

I asked one of my friend, when I was in college - What will you do if you got a
handicapped child born? His spontaneous answer, without giving much thought was -
Everybody is born with some defect or other - it does not mean that everyone
comes into the world with perfect psychological abilities? We just need to accept
people as they are? Same thing applies to the child also - we just need to accept
it as god gift.

Accept the child born as - God's gift and never listen to any narrow-minded thoughts.
