So a friend of mine is pregnant (4 months now I think). She has a DS already and her brother and his DW have 2 DS as well.
So my friend has had really bad sickness in this pregnancy. She had it with her first as well but has said on Facebook that it's so much worse than before.
Next thing I know she posts saying "it better be a girl this time!" As she never had it as bad with her DS. Then her mum posts a comment saying she's 'praying' for a girl. I told my DH this and he said it's probs because this will be the first granddaughter for my friends parents so they're keen for it to be a girl.
However, it seems a bit drastic to be 'praying' for a particular gender. What happens if it is another boy...they're setting themselves up for disappointment etc.
I know it's natural for people to have their own hopes for a boy or a girl but their wording seems a bit extreme. Surely they should be praying for a happy healthy baby regardless of gender. I know it's also none of my business really but it just really annoyed me with their choice of words.
Just looking for thoughts...
