A mum who felt 'upset and disappointed' when she found out she was having twin boys has spoken out about the guilt she felt - and why she's since changed her mind.
Ashley Cesare 21, has always dreamed of having a little girl, so when she discovered she was expecting twins in August 2021, she hoped for "one of each". But when blue confetti fell around her and her fiancé, Heath Boyle, 27, during their gender reveal, the mum could not hide her true feelings.
"In my gut I knew it was twin boys, so I was trying to prepare myself and willing myself not to cry," recalls Ashley, from Schenectady, New York, US. "When the confetti fell, I stamped my foot in disappointment."
