Pregnant mom of 3 under fire after simply \u201cpraying for a healthy baby\u201d Instagram: kimperrycoA pregnant mom of 3 came under fire after posting an Instagram reel in which she stated she didn\u2019t care about the gender and was simply \u201cpraying for a healthy baby\u201d. It has long been considered the norm for expecting parents to want the best for their children, including wishing for good health and well-being. However, in this age of social media, everything and anything is open to criticism. A Florida mom found this out the hard way after posting a seemingly innocent Instagram reel that resulted in an onslaught of backlash. Already a mother of three girls and expecting her fourth child, Kimberly Lecuryer shared on Instagram that she was \u201cignoring everyone\u201d who hoped for her to have a boy this time, saying she was only \u201cpraying for a healthy baby\u201d. \u201cGirl mom of 3. Do I want a boy? Absolutely! Would [I] be mad if I had a 4th girl? Not at all,\u201d Lecuyer wrote in the caption of her Instagram reel. \u201cHealthy Baby is the goal.\u201d But her video quickly came under fire, with viewers focusing on her desire for a healthy baby and labeling the mom as an \u201cableist\u201d. \u201cMom of an unhealthy kid here to say that those babies are equally valuable and worthy of love,\u201d one person wrote. Another said, \u201cWhatever \u2018healthy\u2019 means? If it\u2019s not \u2018healthy,\u2019 then your prayers won\u2019t be answered? How is ableism different from being sex-selective?\u201d Following the backlash and attention Lecuyer\u2019s video received, many came to her defense and argued that her desire for a healthy baby was what \u201call parents want\u201d for their children. \u201cWho HOPES for an unhealthy child? Like who finds out they\u2019re pregnant [and] immediately thinks \u2018ohh I hope my child has [health] issues that affect their quality of life.\u2019 Who WANTS that for their child?!\u201d one person wrote. \u201cPlease let this woman enjoy her pregnancy in peace. This was stupid.\u201d \u201cShould she just pray for her child to be born alive? Or will people then attack her for offending parents who have had stillborn children?\u201d Another questioned. \u201cThis is a rabbit hole for sure. Y\u2019all need to stop.\u201d Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
