Today, my husband and I went for our 20 week scan and found out we're having a girl. The first thing he said to me was, "The next one better be a boy or I'm leaving you". FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Unexpected
Today, I excitedly told my husband that I'm expecting our second child. He ripped up the sonogram and yelled at me to "fucking get rid of it" while jabbing me in the chest. FML
Today, I went to my first ultrasound appointment. The daughter I was hoping for is actually going to be boy triplets. FML
Today, I was told by my wife that we were going to be parents. We are both females. FML
Today, I went and had my first ultrasound done. My husband said he had a meeting at work, and couldn't come. As I was leaving, I saw him at the doctor's office with another heavily pregnant woman. FML
Asshat
Today, I got a call from my husband, saying that he wants a divorce, he’s been seeing his colleague and that she’s more compatible to him. I’ve just given birth to out first child. He told me, "Aww, good luck with that." FML
Build your own
Today, after my wife gave birth to another of our daughters, she announced that this was the last one. When I reminded her I still needed a son to carry on my name, she replied, "Well, you've got four girls. You want a boy? Birth him yourself!" FML
Today, my 6 brothers and I (a girl) were finally finding out the sex of my mom's baby. It's going to be another boy. FML
Today, after I gave birth to our first child, my husband looked at the doctor and seriously asked, "When do you circumcise the baby?" We had a baby girl. FML
Today, I found out the girl my boyfriend was seeing just before me is pregnant. FML

You obviously have to leave him now. It's the FML rule.

Sometimes I feel like I learn more here on FML than in class.

Congrats about your baby girl! I hope your husband was just making a bad joke, if not I hope he comes around. My dad was hoping for a boy too when my mom was pregnant with me, but once I was born he couldn't remember why.

Perhaps it was in a joking manner?

You guys are British. Shouldn't King Henry the eighth have taught him something?

I'm a bit too lazy to read through all the comments to see if it's already been mentioned... Anyway, I'm currently 28 weeks along and it reminded me of something I read on my birth club. The girl was seriously confused on how she conceived a boy when her husbands family has all girls... Even when quite a few people told her that it's always a 50/50 chance she got super upset and more confused because others were making a joke about a previous poster's "blue orb theory." Super hilarious lol :) if anyone wants the link I'm sure I can find it again.

"her husbands family has all girls" Apart from her husband..!

Well, it does rather make sense. The gender's determined by the chromosome the sperm has, and if the family's males aren't apt at making lively sperm, the Ys do tend to die fast--but it could just be that the woman was highly fertile and made up for the lack from his side of the family. It'd be odd if we were talking about twins, which probably depends on how many eggs a woman releases at once and how well her body can maintain them both, though the sperm being able to fertilize them both would also factor in.

Lol she did say that though, that her husbands family has all girls, obviously not taking her husband into consideration. Even after people pointed out that his family can definitely produce boys, she still refused to believe that he could give her a boy. That's like me saying my family can't produce girls (since the majority of my blood related family is boys) but yet I was magically produced somehow. Lol. :)

His sense of humor shining through at the wrong time. Sometimes men forget that women are more sensitive at this time, and can sometimes be insecure and need reassurance. I'm sure that he thought he was adding levity to the situation.

Tell him if he wants a boy, he needs to make your life perfectly unstressful. Stressed and unhappy women are are more likely to have girls. Yes it's actually real science, discovered after 9/11, emotionally traumatized pregnant women in the US spontaneously miscarried a majority of male only fetuses. The effect continued for several months leading to a girl population boom in 2002.
