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.'

Monique told how she then spent the next few days in tears while trying to process the news.

Rebel Wilson SUED over unreleased movie as she launches tearful rant at ‘bully' film bosses
EMOTIONAL Rebel Wilson says "it makes no sense" after the production company behind her directorial debut, The Deb, filed a lawsuit against her in Australia.

To say otherwise is complete nonsense. I'm so proud of the film!" Last year, The Deb producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden launched a defamation lawsuit against Wilson in the US after she accused them of plotting to embezzle 900,000 AUD from the film's budget and Ghost of sexually harassing star Charlotte MacInnes. Wilson countersued in October alleging a "troubling pattern of egregious and illicit behaviours, including theft, bullying , and sexual misconduct." Rejecting the claims involving her being the victim of harassment, MacInnes later filed a declaration calling Wilson' claims about her "completely false and absurd". In November, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Thomas Long rejected Wilson's request to have the defamation case against her dismissed. Updating fans today on her latest legal battle, Wilson wrote: "I've moved on, now directing my 2nd movie and loving it. But regarding THE DEB all I can literally say is 'F**K my life' with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart.
