omg how can one be so selfish does she not realise how lucky she is by having one , their is women out their who do anything to have just one child too hold and love some are not as lucky and cant have any i think woman like that are terrible even worse when you read in the paper that their was this one woman who kept having kids so she would get more money off the government how rediculus is that x

I completely agree with this! I was disappointed that they didn't deal with it better!!

Saw a bit of that programme - the women on there were generally idiots - feel sorry for their kids tho.

On a brighter tv note - saw a great "pregnancy" programme on home and health - "extreme pregnancy" it followed the stories of couples going through some v difficult times such as multiple miscarriages, fertility issues and coming out of it with a baby against the odds - found this quite encouraging

i totally agree, those women are absolutely disgusting, they already have kids and are complaining because they don't have a girl, they women should think of th women out there who are really struggling to conceive at all.

My friends mum had 3 boys and she desperately wanted a girl but her and her husband said they would try again one last time (they had always planned to have only 4 children if they were lucky enough)

Anyway it was back in the day when you couldn't find out what you were having so she had to wait until she gave birth. She says she 'desired' a girl more than a boy (because she wanted to experience a mother/daughter bond etc) but if she was to have a boy then she would have been over the moon at having a healthy baby. And the minute you see your baby or the first time it would not even matter because you are overcome with love. Turns out she had my friend (girl) and felt very very blessed.

I don't think there's anything wrong with preferring to have one sex or the other if you could choose. I wanted a boy at first but would have still been over the moon with a girl! Either way I think going through this loss has made me realise even more just how precious a gift, a baby is - whatever the sex!

I think with some people, they just don't have a sense of perspective until they've had something really sad happen in their lives. How nice for these ladies that the worst thing to ever happen to them is getting the "wrong" gender. How sad for their kids that they'll always feel like they failed even though they didn't do anything wrong.

What really narks me off is that the media capitalizes on that stuff. People being selfish is crappy, but people who try to promote it as acceptable behavior is unconscionable.

I have just posted on the Gender Disappointment thread elsewhere.

I watched it and ended up being so pissed off with one of the women who compared not having a daughter with that of someone who could not have any children. Stupid b*tch! You had beautiful gorgeous boys - you were obviously so bloody well off too - she made me so angry. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

It made me cry so much
