Every now and then, the internet spills stories worthy of a movie script. Now this intense story that will take you on an emotional ride was shared by a 27-year-old woman who goes by the name KittenDealinMama on Reddit.

The tale starts with the author and her husband, who’s one year older, trying for a baby, initially with no success. “When I did get pregnant, we were overjoyed,” the author wrote.

“He talked about wanting a son first so he could be the big strong leader for all his younger siblings and carry on the family name (a very big deal to him instilled by his parents). I expressed my desire to have a little girl I could dress up and match with,” KittenDealinMama recounted, adding that it became “a playful banter.”

Fast forward to the day when the couple finally found out the gender of the baby: it’s a girl! Initially, everything seemed well until the Redditor’s husband and mother-in-law had a long call which lasted so long that the author fell asleep. The next day, the soon-to-be dad literally disappeared and the world around the author has already begun collapsing.

Two days later, the author added this update on the whole situation

While the United States has no restrictions on knowing or choosing the sex of a baby, gender selection, a medical procedure in which parents are able to choose the sex of their unborn child, is currently illegal in many countries, including the US, because of numerous ethical concerns. Experts warn that it could lead to gender discrimination and that it is a dangerous form of eugenics.

However, there exists a common myth that lovemaking position can have a direct impact on the gender of a baby. But Jeffrey Steinberg, M.D., director of the gender selection program at the Fertility Institutes in Los Angeles, argues that this couldn’t be further from the truth.

“There are really no lovemaking positions that can influence the gender of your baby,” he states. He added that “there’s really not much you can do at home to choose your baby’s gender.”

Then, this update followed

But even without sex selection, more boys are born than girls. According to PRB, normally, for every 100 baby girls, somewhere between 102 and 107 boys are born. This slight imbalance is due to biological and other factors. In at least nine countries, the ratio of boy babies to girl babies is 110 or more. China is at the top of the list, with 118 boys born for every 100 girls, followed by Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Montenegro, Albania, Vietnam, India and Pakistan.

The author’s husband allegedly wrote this post, claiming he will see her in court
