Monique was adamant she was having a second girl throughout her pregnancy.
The 21-year-old from Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia, explained: 'All I know is pink. All I know is being a girl mom – I have never experienced raising a boy and it's just terrifying to me.
'I feel so guilty and like the worst mom in the world because when I saw the baby's gender in that cake, my heart sank.
'I'm going to feel guilty for the rest of my life for how I reacted; I'm never going to forget how I thought when I first found out about him.'
