Gender Reveal

Are you all revealing the gender to family and friends after your NIPT at 10 weeks?

With 1 and 2 we did, with 4 we were team green, with 3 I tried knowing and keeping it secret and failed. I kind of want to do team green again, but hubs doesn't care this time, and he was the driving force for waiting last time. Our oldest, a girl, wants us to know asap. We have always also shared our names pretty matter-of-fact with the gender, so we didn't get much push back. My experience has been that once people know the sex, they want to chat about names, so come up with a script you're happy with. My cousin, expecting their first, has told everyone the sex and then said they're keeping the name a secret. We always said what we were having and here is the name.

We *really* want to wait until Sprout is born to find out the gender. We're picking a couple name options and will reveal both with the birth announcement.

Definitely no elaborate gender reveal or gender reveal party here. I haven’t talked to my partner about it yet but I think I would like to keep the gender secret from family at least until after our baby shower. I’ve heard keeping gender secret can help keep people from buying things not on your registry.

It definitely helps people to buy the necessities rather than the fun stuff or getting loads of clothes. You’ll still always get the person who thinks they know or hopes for it to be a certain gender and buy you an outfit but for the most part, you get the needs covered. Speaking as a mom of 3 who never found out gender until the birth.

So happy for you! Remember seeing your earlier posts about cramping concerns - so glad things are going well.

Hubby and I didn't reveal until he was born. But the pressure from relatives so weird lol.

My first I had a gender reveal party with family. It was 12 yrs ago and we did it with a cake reveal. No one knew, not even my sister you ordered the cake! My little family party was so fun! Fast forward 12 yrs later and I decided to not find out until baby is here ☺️
