DEAR DEIDRE: I’M
pregnant with a fourth daughter but we’re desperate for a son. I’m 37, my husband
is 40 and we have three daughters, aged eight to 14 and all high-maintenance.
I lost a little boy three years ago and we hoped this baby
would be a boy but my scan showed another girl.
The radiographer even said: “Good luck with this one – she’s
hyperactive.” Now we are planning a termination.
DEIDRE SAYS: That
was a joke by the radiographer. An active baby in the womb doesn’t mean she
will be a hyperactive child.
If anything, boys tend to be more active. I worry you will
bitterly regret a termination on this basis.
Why are you so against having another girl? Did you not feel
valued when you were a young girl? Is it pressure from your husband for a boy?
Please talk it over first with Family Lives .
