Not a proven thing, but my pregnant ass had a dream my baby was a boy. It was so surreal to have a dream where I saw the baby in an ultrasound so clearly and they even said “baby boy” in the office. It was clear as day but there they were. I may be too soon along to find out the gender but I want to know soon
Not sure which board to post this on so... I got the results on my NIPT today (everything was negative) but I will pick up the sex of the baby tomorrow! I am having them put it in an envelope so that my friend can bake us a gender reveal cake. We are announcing our pregnancy and doing a gender reveal on Thanksgiving! It is going to be so hard not looking in that envelope!

Since some are clearly not reading the initial post, this thread is for members to post the sex of your baby once you actually know, whether that’s via blood test or ultrasound. Please do not post in this thread with questions/comments.
NIPT or Non-Invasive Prenatal Test is a blood draw as early as 10 weeks that checks for chromosomal abnormalities and can also tell you the sex of the baby. Currently waiting on my results, I should have them early next week.
I ordered them online from a Canadian company at rocket.ca but I found they are even easier to find in the US. Just google “smoke bombs”. These ones were the smallest handheld ones I could find and they let out plenty of smoke!

I'm quoting this because clearly people are not reading the comments. 🙄
@emeraldcity603 I understand the need for board organization and read the rules regarding not to make additional comments/ask questions. But I was asked a question related to my gender reveal and didn’t want to be rude and ignore this person. Where do you propose that person should have posed that question instead? (Actually asking because I’m confused about where I’m allowed to post sometimes). Thanks
This technically is a gender reveal thread. Since this is a place where people reveal the gender of their baby. Moderating to this degree is more distracting then asking a question that has to do with this thread.
Just stop. This is an announcement thread, if you want to create a new thread talking about ways to reveal gender, please do so. No one wants to shift through 800 posts of questions, one-off comments and congratulations when the post is explicitly dedicated to mommas posting the sex of their child. That’s why there is the ability and recommended option to start a new thread, as long as it isn’t a duplicate or a special snowflake post. Honestly people, it’s not that hard.
But who wants to read a list that simply says: boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, boy, girl, girl? Without the questions, comments (i.e. context and ability to connect with one another over the information sharing) what’s the point? Where’s the community in that? I understand that some of you are on here daily and recognize each other and KNOW the context and background on the users from other threads. And that’s great. But some of us may not use it as frequently and we would also like to contribute to certain threads in a way that makes sense to us. That should be acceptable to all members as long as we are not breaching any of the TOU of the app itself.
Also- I thought this group was pro organization. It seems really counterintuitive to go start a new thread posting a very much related question or comment that you had pertaining to something you saw on this thread. Just my two cents.
@mcbabyjune2019 I completely agree with you. Unfortunately it seems some women have monopolized the right to dictate which threads can have extra comments and which can’t. Although this thread does say to limit comments not “do not comment at all” that’s the approach they’ve taken. It looks like someone did start a gender reveal thread and I’d love to have fun conversations with you over there!
I’m sorry but all this bucking of the board guidelines seems really adolescent. Just like anywhere else, if you participate more in a group you have more equity and get a say. Dropping in every few days and expecting people who are here constantly to cater to your needs is unrealistic and unfair.
I do not have the time right now to participate the way I did before my daughter. In my old board I was super active and I got a vote. Around here, I don’t have the equity and I just go with what the regulars decide works for the community.
So freaking excited to find out that we are going to have a baby girl! My "motherly" intuition was totally wrong about having a boy. Ha But overall just excited to know we've got a healthy baby!
Re: Baby’s sex/gender thread
@BumpAdmin Can we have this pinned please?
