There's already a thread about this.

And yes, she is a complete idiot who should count her blessings.

Bouncingbelle · 29/05/2020 20:55

Oooo off to find the other thread!

I understand her being disappointed, but to call the sonographer a stupid bitch and then have an entire news article about the disappointment is absurd. She’s being really unreasonable and has her priorities all wrong.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 29/05/2020 21:22

They look like the kind of people I’d walk under buses to avoid. ‘Gender reveal’? Pass me a puke bag.

Samtsirch · 29/05/2020 21:22

Must have missed the other thread, so glad I’ve seen this.
I too understand her disappointment but she definitely could have handled it better and has shown herself up to be a bit of a self obsessed drama queen.

PeppermintSoda · 29/05/2020 21:23

I've got a horrible feeling she was really tantruming and foot stamping as she didn't get the sex she wanted. Hmm

Samtsirch · 29/05/2020 21:23

@StillCoughingandLaughing
That’s a bit harsh 😂

Figgygal · 29/05/2020 21:27

What a couple of utter twats
Bad enough the tacky party but to run to the papers bleurgh

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 29/05/2020 21:27

She wanted a girl.

She's tantrumming about that but she knows that's a dick move so it's coming out as sonographer troubles.

bee222 · 29/05/2020 21:29

She clearly wanted a girl. That’s what this is all really about.

Puddlejuice · 29/05/2020 21:29

This is local to me, have you seen the comments online? Poor women coming on to say that their scan was truly ruined as there was no foetal heartbeat, and this stupid twat is wittering on about pink or blue.
Fuck my life, I feel sorry for her kids, she should probably have had an IQ test before procreating.

FelicityBeedle · 29/05/2020 21:30

Archie, then Alfie, bets on the next one? I reckon Albie or Ernie

StillCoughingandLaughing · 29/05/2020 21:34

@StillCoughingandLaughing
That’s a bit harsh 😂

She voluntarily called her children Archie, Alfie and Arnie - AND she used a service called Window to the Womb. I think I let her off lightly 😛

recycledteenager24 · 29/05/2020 21:34

some people shouldn't be allowed to have kids when they are this stupid. still i'm joining you under that bus, we have a lot of these types where i used to live, awful.

islandislandisland · 29/05/2020 21:38

I literally cannot believe how LONG that 'article' is.

SnickettyLemon · 29/05/2020 21:39

The whole concept of gender reveal parties make me cringe, but pardon my ignorance I thought it was all about revealing the gender to family and guests, not the expectant couple.

Must be something in the Bristol air at the moment, this eejit and his partner took their tiny newborn to Asda, then complained the baby change was closed, so changed her on a urine soaked floor.
I'm with @StillCoughingandLaughing, I'd probably walk under a muck spreading tractor to avoid this lot.

ADayAlwaysHasToEnd · 29/05/2020 21:41

Can someone link the other thread please

Puddlejuice · 29/05/2020 21:41

It is indeed the point @SnickettyLemon but as a gender reveal scan (yuck) would have broken lock down rules this was a "health" scan. Although I'll be fucked sideways if the people working at window to the womb are qualified sonographers I'm sure.

BananaPop2020 · 29/05/2020 21:42

Topping off this ridiculous story is the inappropriate use of the word “devastated”. It’s meant to be one of the most powerful and descriptive words we have, and its completely out of context with this total non-event.

GreytExpectations · 29/05/2020 21:43

Stupid woman should be greatful she has a healthy baby. I'm fed up of these "gender reveals" they are tacky, grabby and in poor taste. That poor sonographer did not deserve the abuse she probably got. I'm glad that woman's party was ruined.

GreytExpectations · 29/05/2020 21:45

Although I'll be fucked sideways if the people working at window to the womb are qualified sonographers I'm sure.

What the woman did was awful but why exactly would they not be qualified? You seem weirdly angry about this specific company.

ShebaShimmyShake · 29/05/2020 21:49

Astonishing that in the current climate, it is apparently such a slow news day in Bristol.

funinthesun19 · 29/05/2020 21:50

I would have been disappointed but I wouldn’t have kicked off and DEFINITELY wouldn’t have gone to the papers.

Not sure why people are assuming she kicked off because she wanted a girl though.

recycledteenager24 · 29/05/2020 21:51

i wonder if the 'journalist' is new to the game ? who the hell thought this was news ?
