Footage shows a pregnant mum bursting into tears after discovering she's having a fourth girl, having been completely convinced she was having a baby boy.
Whatever your thoughts on gender reveal parties, you’d have thought the number one rule would be if you’re planning to have one, it’s a good idea to only go for it if you’re happy either way things go.
However, that’s often not the case – as we saw earlier this week when a viral clip showed two disappointed parents finding out they'd be having a girl.

And it appears to be a relatively common theme, as that’s exactly what happened to a mum-of-four over in the US.
In a video posted on TikTok, mum Kendra Evens showed the moment she found out she was expecting a fourth daughter.
Already mother to three girls, she clearly looked less than excited by the prospect of welcoming another, with one of her children saying: "We get a girl? What? Why do we have to get a girl?"
Kendra’s husband reaches over and starts rubbing his wife on the back, while one of their daughters jumps up and down with joy.
“Girl gang all day!” someone can be heard yelling off-camera.
Kendra has since given birth to her fourth child, and thankfully now they ‘couldn’t be happier’.
In the caption, she wrote: “Gender disappointment is real so don’t judge us, little did we know our Nellie would complete our family and we couldn’t be happier to be raising our 4 daughters!
“Couldn’t imagine life without that sweet girl.”
Speaking to People about her reaction, Kendra explained how she’d been convinced that she was having a boy.
She said: "When I got pregnant with my fourth baby, I knew it was my last and after already having three amazing daughters, it was only natural that I, of course, wanted a boy.
"On top of that, all three of my pregnancies with my daughters were all the exact same, but with this last pregnancy everything was so different so in my head I swore it was a boy."
She added: "Going into the gender reveal, I was hesitant on doing anything because I didn't want to be disappointed in front of people if it wasn't a boy, but then I was reminded it was my last pregnancy and I didn't want to have any regrets.”
The mum admitted the emotions got the best of her and she ‘couldn’t help but cry’.
But they’ve now found their groove as a family with four daughters, with Kendra saying: "Having daughters has been amazing and has changed me already so much in my life.
"My girls are so lucky to have each other and know what it's like to have a sister bond — not everyone gets to experience that."
