I have a friend who has a boy and is desperate for a girl. She was horrified to have a boy the first time round but got used to it eventually. She says she will keep having children until she 'gets her girl.'
On fb yesterday she announced it with the usual scan photo and 'baby number 2, it had better be pink this time!'
Then lots of people have said stuff like 'fingers crossed for a girl!' 'You'll have to have it adopted if it's another boy lol' 'second time lucky!'
I suppose I'm sensitive to it as I'm pregnant with a much wanted and long and hard sought second child and I couldn't give a damn what gender it is. I can get that some people have a preference but I just think if it is a boy what will people say when it's born?! Better luck next time? Never mind try again? I'm sure she'll love it whatever when it's here but how horrid to be a disappointment (potentially) before you're even born and got EVERYONE to know.
Aibu?

AIBU?
To think if you have a gender preference it's best not to tell EVERYONE and announce it on social media?
