a friend obgyn shared that there are support groups for this.

Has anyone really listened to her. I find giving someone a chance to be heard, ask why it is so devastating TO HER not to have a boy may be helpful. Ask your brother if he knows what is going on, finally may simply be pregnancy hormones.

I don't know about 3rd child odds but my bro & his wife had 3 of one gender & then the 4th was the other gender. That made them happy but apparently there was only an 11% chance of it happening. So your SIL shouldn't have that next child unless she's ok with 89% chance of another of the same. I agree with PPs to just heart her messages & to just be a bit busy until she gets over it (which she will & will love her baby of course). I also think in situations like this finding easy low hanging fruit ways to be sympathetic (like a gift or a written message) rather than taking the call & having to fake it work best for me.

Who cares? I don't get it. Kids are who they are regardless of gender otherwise you're hoping for a doll.

Is it a cultural thing? I thought more people wanted girls now.

Three girls is my absolute dream! Alas, I am lucky to have my two girls and am too old for more babies.

My cousin was broken when her baby miscarried. I guess she's lucky she didn't have a healthy baby of the wrong gender. That would have been truly devastating.

She needs to switch to buying dolls. This is disgusting.

That’s all she wants to talk to me about, and it’s tiresome, she cries and cries. But I still want to support her and be someone that she feels free to share her feelings with.

Your SIL is an ass. Cut her off.
