A TikTok video featuring a Cuban couple has gone viral due to the unexpected reaction of the expectant mother during their gender reveal. In the recording, made at the baby’s gender reveal party, the couple finds out they are having a boy, but the mother breaks down in tears, reflecting her desire for a girl. Her reaction has sparked a debate on social media, with some supporting her and others criticizing her.
The one who shared this scene was the user @ariannareyes9180, who had the responsibility of keeping the baby's gender a secret until the announcement. "The mom crying because she wanted a girl", she wrote about the video, which has over 150 thousand views.
Many users resonated with the emotions of the expectant mother and shared similar experiences. "I don't judge her; it happened to me too. I wanted a girl, but just wait until that little boy is born, and you'll go crazy with love," commented one user. Another mother stated that her perspective changed over time: "I cried because I wanted a girl, and today I regret it; my son is the most beautiful gift God has given me."
On the other hand, some people questioned his attitude and emphasized that children should be welcomed with unconditional love. "What you should feel is happiness. A boy is a blessing just like a girl," wrote one user. Others expressed concern about how the child would feel in the future when watching this video: "I just want to see the child's face when he grows up and sees how lovingly his mother welcomed him."
The video has also sparked a discussion about the so-called gender disappointment, a topic that is rarely talked about but has been experienced by many mothers. Some stated that they avoided making a reveal precisely to prevent showing a negative reaction. However, most agreed that once the baby is born, maternal love surpasses any prior expectations.
Despite the controversy, the video continues to gain views and comments, highlighting how polarized these situations can be on social media. While some defend the freedom to express genuine emotions, others emphasize that the most important thing is to welcome the baby with love and celebrate its arrival with joy.
