1. A Boy or a Girl – Regina M Linn

At first you moved,
only a little.
I could always find you,
right in the middle.

As time went on,
you really started to grow.
It wasn’t a whole lot,
in fact, it was rather slow.

Before I knew it,
you were all over the place.
It kind of felt like
you were running a race.

People would ask me
if you were a boy or a girl.
I would sit and wonder,
if you would have curls.

There are so many things
I really want to know.
But you are hidden inside,
so the answers don’t show.

How much will you weigh?
How tall will you be?
What color is your hair?
Will you even like me?

I hope and pray
you feel like you belong.
I never want you to feel
like you are alone.

Your Dad and I
planned you from the start.
You, my dear child,
were made straight from our hearts.

In about a week or so,
I’ll meet you, for the first time.
For you are the product
of your Dad’s love and mine.

There will be no one like you,
not any place in the world.
It really doesn’t matter
if you are a boy or a girl.

We are both so happy
that you even exist.
The gender doesn’t matter.
you’ll be hard to resist.

I hope I make you proud,
that I am your mother every day.
Because, you have filled my dreams
in more ways than words can say.

It won’t be long before
I can look you in the eyes.
I can feel the excitement growing,
I know I’m going to cry.

Don’t worry my angel,
those tears will be of joy.
It won’t matter to me
if you are a girl or a boy.

2. To My Precious Child – Julie K Ross

Whether you’re a little girl
Or a little boy
Just knowing that you’re on your way
Fills my heart with joy.

You’ll learn that you’re my miracle
For you I’ve waited long
You’ll see it in my poetry
Maybe even in a song.

May you always know what love is
From our whole family
That, my little angel,
Is a promise straight from me.

I hope you grow up strong and smart
Because you stayed in school
Intelligence will be your art
Wisdom will be your tool.

You can be whatever you want to be
As long as you put your mind to it
Whenever you hit a rough spot, though,
I’ll be there to see you through it.

Whether it’s music, dance or even sports
I’ll let you try it all
We’ll shop for tights and soccer shorts
Downtown at the local mall.

I’m not sure of what else to say right now
‘Cause I’ve really said a lot
You’ll learn to understand me
‘Cause I’m the only Mom you’ve got!

3. A Note to My Son – Dacia LockWood

Time is moving slowly,
The day is almost here.

The anxiety and joy is building up,
For my baby boy will soon appear.

I can’t wait to see your smiling face,
And hold your little hand.

Just then I’ll know deep inside
that you’re my little man.

I have so much to share with you
day after day.

And to you my son I will give my love
in each and every way.

4. On My Way – Adrien

I Know You Can’t See Me
I’m Tucked Away 
Close To Christmas Is 
My Arrival Day
Each One of You Play
A Special Role 
You’ll Guide and Love Me
A Hand to Hold
God Said I’m A Gift
Sent From Angels Above
I Can’t Wait To See You
I’m a Bundle of Love

5. A Hand Yet to Hold – Whitney

A soul is inside me, awaiting a life.
Eyes yet to open with wonder and delight.
A mouth yet to laugh, expressions untold.
To love and be loved, a hand yet to hold.
The journey of life, whatever will be.
Sleep now my baby, and wait for me

6. Flesh of My Flesh – Judy D Bentley

I gave you life, my love will continually grow.
You’re a part of my flesh, that’s amazing to know.
Another human being sharing my blood,
my child you were made out of love.

Baby you’re so precious and so sweet,
sometimes it’s hard to believe you was inside of me.
God has given you such a cute little smile,
I remember when you’d cooed out loud.
Everything you’ve done made me so proud.

Those tiny pink feet,
mommy played with them when you were asleep.
A token of my love in hope you’d forever keep.
A daily prayer that’s very deep.

If death were to claim your life,
before it claims mine,
My only regret would be
I couldn’t birth you a second time.

7. My Moment – Tania Sneed

~Mason~
The moment I discovered you, I loved you…
The moment I saw you, I loved you more…
The moment I heard you, I lived to love… 
The moment I felt you, I loved more…
The moment I touched you, I loved…
The moment I see you, I love you!
~Mommy~

8. I Grew A Whole New Heart Just For You – Rasha Rushdy

My secondborn baby, I have to tell you the truth.
One day you’ll probably ask me
About why everything wasn’t
Bright, shiny and
New
For you.

And when you ask me, I will tell you the truth;
The truth about
The hand-me-downs,
The caffeine and soft cheese
During pregnancy,
My lack of a birth plan,
And weekly bump photos;
The fact that I didn’t wait With bated breath For every single milestone.
The difficult truths
Like the fact that You had to cry more
Wait more
Share more.
The fact that I,
Your mama,
Was often not the best version of myself.

But dear, sweet, secondborn,
Let me also tell you this.
The truth is,
Before you were born, I doubted the infinity of love
And yet
The moment they placed you in my arms,
Cocooned in blankets,
With your button nose and scrunched up lips,
Eyes firmly shut and so new to this world,
It’s as if I grew
A whole new heart
Just for you.

The truth is,
Darling girl,
It was you who taught me
To really believe
That despite the guilt, the worry,
The urgent need to be everything to everyone,
That in fact, I am enough, as I am.
Yes, I was already someone’s mother
When you came into my life But you made me
A better one.

And so, the truth is,
Dear secondborn,
When one day you start to wonder why
Things were different when you came along
Know this, my love: I never knew How much my heart could hold,
Until I held you;
How you weren’t an addition,
But a piece that was missing;
And how now that a year has passed,
After everything we’ve been through,
The love and joy You have brought
Makes me feel
Bright,
Shiny
And new
Every day.

These to-be parents described in only so many words the overwhelming feeling of expecting a newborn. These poems may have surely inspired you to pen down your own feelings about your pregnancy!
