To think this woman is being ridiculous re ‘ruined’ gender reveal

[Bouncingbelle]

Just that really. I obviously don’t have much else going on in my life cos her attitude has really riled me!

God, these people look like the neighbours you would hate to live next door to....
That whole article is based on her trying to get money out of that clinic for her ‘distress’!

And her other son is “heartbroken” and “could tell something was wrong”... spare me!
There’s no reasoning with stupid.

So many judgemental bigots on here. You all sound like a bunch of nasty trolls!

So what if you personally find gender reveals tacky! Many people don’t and actually enjoy finding out the gender in what they consider a special way to them. Pregnancy can be so hard so what’s wrong with finding some enjoyment in it all?

Im glad I don’t know people like you all in real life 🤮

All those people saying ‘it’s not news’... it’s had 14,000 shares, two threads on here and is all over Facebook.

News just has to be new and interesting, it doesn’t have to fit your personal world view.

Same happened to me back in 1986. I was terrified at what I would give birth to (she's fine actually).

She left with "belly pains" because she found out her baby's gender? Her son was heartbroken when he was told the news days later? Over-egging from every possible angle...

@mecabag I think what people are objecting to is not so much the "gender reveal party" (although how she managed to have one during lockdown is indeed a mystery) but more the fact that she (1) verbally abused the sonographer (2) is using emotive language such as "devastated" and "ruined" to describe her feelings about the sonographer accidentally telling her what kind of genitals her healthy baby is, when many of us have been devastated to learn that our baby has no heartbeat or has a serious health condition, and (3) has taken her "story" to the papers despite having been refunded her money and given an apology present by the scan company.

The tackiness of a "gender reveal party" is neither here nor there. If she had posted a thread on AIBU about nobody wanting to come to her gender reveal party and everyone had laid into her then you would have a point. But that's not what happened. People are commenting on her behaviour and the fact that she comes across as an entitled, stupid little gobshite.

@ShebaShimmyShake

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

Nope. Bristol post routinely have utter numpties in it, with stories like this. It's my local paper, I used to buy it sometimes specially to enjoy the madness, before it moved online. I'm pretty confident the reporters do it to amuse themselves...

Can someone explain this? Was she not supposed to know the sex of the baby in order to reveal it to her friends and family? Otherwise who would do the whole blue/pink thing if not the mother?

I genuinely don't 'get' these gender reveal things.

Every time I see a "gender reveal" I think to myself: "These gender reveal things are so ridiculous. No one actually gives a fuck. Seriously. No one cares. It's 50-50 boy or girl and there are 3+ BILLION of each on earth. Christ. Move on instagrammers. Move on."

Naturally I'd never say this out loud.

Thankfully I am not friends with anyone who feels the need to have a “gender reveal” party.

I think it takes an incredibly egocentric person to even consider such a thing.

Yes it’s lovely to be pregnant. Yes everyone wishes you have a healthy baby. No most people do not care what gender you have. Get over yourself!

@PixelatedLunchbox I think it depends on the person. I can imagine parents of the couple doing it, siblings, and close friends might be. That way everyone finds out at an identical time and there will be no why did so and so find out first etc also depending on person telling each person individually could mean 30min to an hour on the phone or having to meet up rather then just telling everyone in one go

What a fucking idiot. 😡

Massive cringe, she is ridiculous. YANBU. She needs to get a life

She's an idiot. I'm pissed off that she was given the free teddy bear too for some reason, she clearly doesn't deserve it.

The only ones I feel for are the sonographer and the unborn baby. The sonographer for obvious reasons and the baby because it's clear she wanted a girl and that's what this is really about.

How did she manage to have a party during lockdown misses point of thread

@CanWeGoOutsideYet I'm sorry for the baby for the more general reason that his mother is a total fucking moron and a nasty piece of work to boot.

She isn't devastated at all, her son wouldn't give a toss (I mean why would he care, especially after the event). She just wants publicity and to make people feel sorry for her.
She's lucky the clinic let her back in to get the result after the way she behaved. She has got a healthy baby on the way, that's all that matters. She doesn't even know how to do a gender reveal party. It's to tell family and friends not the parents.

Yes actually I agree with you there

The clinic refunded the cost of the scan and gave her a free £25 teddy bear with the heartbeat. I can't believe they did that to someone who stormed out calling a member of staff a stupid bitch.

She said the party was via facetime.

Mecabag

How are people trolls for expressing an opinion that they think she is being over dramatic saying she is devasted.... ruined.... etc etc

The woman needs to actually grow up a bit. The woman approached a newspaper and told her story and people are commenting on it... many finding it ridiculous.... how exactly is that trolling?

blimey she had a tough paper round

😂😂😂 she is a fucking dafty

I haven't read all the replies and I had to stop reading the article as I was getting too angry. This stupid cow has no idea what devastated means. Devastated during a pregnancy scan is what I was when I heard there was no heartbeat, when I was asked the last time I felt her move or how I felt carrying her tiny coffin to the graveside and watching them lower my tiny little girl into the ground. The part that really got me was when she said she had to tell her son a couple of days later because he knew something didn't add up and was suspicious. Then she followed it with saying that her son was heartbroken too. Why on earth would he be? Because his mum found out before he did? And? Heartbroken is how my son was when he screamed after I told him his little sister had died. This woman needs to get a grip, live in the real world and be grateful that she's having a lovely little boy and that she didn't get any bad news.

A year ago today since I was told that there was no heartbeat and some silly wench moaning because of a gender reveal. These people do frustrate me.

I think some people have too much time on their hands.
