Pregnant Married at First Sight star 'devastated' after learning sex of her baby

Married At First Sight Australia star Martha Kalifatidis has admitted she felt "devastated" as she discovered she was having a baby girl.

Martha is expecting her first child with Michael Brunelli, whom she met on the TV experiment.

The mum-to-be was expecting to be told she was having a girl – and wasn't pleased when she found out they were having a son.

Speaking on KIIS FM's Will & Woody, pregnant Martha confessed: "I'll be so honest with you guys, at the beginning I was devastated.

"I was so upset, it took me a few days to come to terms with it."

One of the show's hosts then joked: "We'll make sure to send your son this audio when he's finally born as well," before the pair burst out laughing.

Martha also explained how she was "100% sure" she was having a girl. She added: " had only opened girl clothing tabs on my phone, I was so convinced".

The reality star said: "There was no chance in my mind it was going to be a boy, I had planned my whole life for this girl."

Martha shared a video of her finding out she was expecting a baby boy. The montage clip shows Martha throughout her pregnancy – including a moment where the pair are trying to guess the sex of the baby while at an ultrasound scan.

The video also saw Martha opening a ring box to discover if she's having a boy or girl. She can be heard saying in the video: "I think it's a boy," before snapping the box open and shut and covering her mouth with her hand.

Martha can then be heard saying: "I don't wanna know if it is."

As the montage video plays clips from Martha's pregnancy, she can be heard opening something before saying: "Oh my god it's a boy!," while her family cheers.

The MAFS star posted the video on her Instagram page and wrote in the caption: "Oh boy do we have news..."

Fans congratulated the couple in the comments as one wrote: "No one will ever love you quite like your son. It’s so special. Congratulations Mumma xx".

Another added: " Yay, a beautiful boy xxx," while another penned: "Congrats" followed by a trio of crying emojis and a blue heart emoji.

Martha and Michael, who met on the TV show and got engaged last year, announced they were expecting a child in September after being silent on social media for some time.

Michael spoke on behalf of the couple in the clip as he said: "It's been a minute since we've been online. So we wanted to explain our situation and make a little bit of an announcement.

"And that is that Martha is pregnant."

Martha added: "It hasn't been this exciting, wonderful time for us. I don't wanna sound like I'm complaining we are so excited, we are so happy. It was a complete surprise but at 5 weeks I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, which is basically is severe, chronic nausea and vomiting with no relief.

"It's like 24/7, I literally didn't get out of bed for two months I was so sick. I couldn't eat or drink anything, there were days when I didn't even get up to pee."
