Victoria and David expecting their 4th...

[HappyCapybara]

just wanted to remind them that they're both more than welcome to come and ask for advice/support

Oh well, wel'' agree to disagree Kitty. Don't think she is too thin personally, her face looks healthy, not skeletal.

eglu i was about to jump on and claim to be VB's long lost DD for that very reason ('cept she is younger than me )

summerbird Think she is older than me, but only by a couple of years.

Lovely news. If you read this Vic then I'm 10 mins from Beckingham palace if you ever want a babysitter

I don't think they can win can they?
If they have a girl everyone will say they had gender selection, and if they don't everyone will say she's disappointed, whether she is or not.

She's always come across as a pretty good Mum to me, and they looked like a lovely family at the Sports Personality of the Year awards.

Congratulations to them.

Who gives a monkeys if they have had gender selection or not, really.

But you are right, they will get criticism whatever happens.

God who would chose to be famous?

Exactly, I don't care if they had it, but they will get criticised for it even if they didn't, if they have a girl.

It's not that unusual to have three of one sex first and then the other is it?
I know a few folk on MN who have.

I'd hate to be famous.

I can just imagine the close ups of my cellulite and being ripped apart for going into Greggs for a sausage roll

I bet she is gonna wish she had said nothing about wanting a girl! if it is a girl, it will be ''Posh gets her girl at last'' or something along those lines, making her boys seem redundant.

I'm a beit sensitive at the mment as I am expecting my 4th girl, and have had endless 'awww that's a shame it's not a boy' comments from unthinking people.

How rude! we are both happy and so are our daughters. DH is relieved, actually. He has never had to deal with a boy nappy

I imagine her boys are secure enough to know that she loves them no matter what, but I agree Db, the headlines will be terribly tactless, whichever it is

DB four girls? fabulous! you and your girls can be your own little 'Spice Girls'

no wonder VB is wearing a big coat in the Sports Personality pics!

kittiwise agree re conception
my money is on ivf with pgd

I have been thinking the same MoldyWarp

That's what I mean Ponders..of course her sons know their parents treasure them :) what has upset me about the remarks I have received is the fact that other people appear to think my daughters (especially the one expected in May)are somewhat defective? after all, why else would they display such disappointment?

Summerbird, thankyou! indeed we shall. I am 'Old Spice'..

deciduous - i have 5 boys and have learned to smile through gritted teeth!!

Ahhhh..I have been doing a bit of that myself lately. I understand I have many years of that to come!

deciduous - I'll join you on tour with the Jackson 5!

Yay! I think we would be more like The Nolans..that's ok, right?

We can tour with our families and gender specific people can either cheer or boo when either family comes on! We could earn £££££

Maybe I am just a soppy cow, but I love it when anyone announces they are pregnant. Gives me a warm glow

I missed this [been working too hard]
Congratulations to them all
Lovely news

I would have 4 if I was VB

I hate all this stuff about how they want a girl. How horrible if they have a boy and he grows up and hears he was meant to be a lassie?
She just wants an ickle Dolly imho!

A little Suri Cruise to fashionista babies on your hips at dawn with Katie madeye Holmes

Word has it that Posh has paid to have some bonkers treatment to guarantee she has a girl this time around.

And 4 children is not hard work for Posh and Becks. Not when they have armies of nannies and minders on hand and even members of their own families in their employ who are paid to look after and amuse their children for them when they're either off pleasing themselves at work or can't be bothered to do it themsleves.

I expect they've had IVF with very expensive pre-natal gender selection. Only in the USA..........

Do you know, I will be delighted if she is having a boy, just to stick 2 fingers up at all the people thinking that she is sooo desperate to have a girl that she would go to all the bizarre lengths that you imagine.

She is just a woman with a lovely family who is having another baby!
