Gender Reveal Ideas

Sorry if this is already a thread. I looked and couldn't find it. 

So our hospital/ob office is still on lockdown until further notice. My husband is not going to be able to come with me to my anatomy scan unfortunately. 

I need fun ideas on how we can both find out together. I dont want to just find out and have to tell him.

This is our 3rd baby and for the other 2, my husband was able to go with me. Then we revealed to our families together. 

Any and all ideas appreciated ❤

    Ask them to write it down and put it in an envelope, or email it to you, or something like that. It can’t be a super uncommon request with all the people doing gender reveal parties. You could ask how they recommend doing it so you can both find out together. I would bring it up first thing, though. At my NT scan the doctor asked me, “do you want to know what I think it is?” And I got so excited that I forgot about asking for something like that and just said, “YES!!!!” I also wasn’t expecting it at that appointment so I hadn’t been mentally preparing myself for it. :)

    I had them put it in an envelope. The other option was to Facetime (not all practices/techs will allow that though).

    They can put it in an envelope for you and you can find out together! We are planning on having a friend who is a photographer take photos for us this afternoon when we find out since we haven’t seen family in months and they were planning on coming to our house to do a simple reveal. We just bought some fun confetti poppers and either a girl or boy balloon! I hope they turn out.

    @baseballismyfavoriteseason yeah with our first  I was looking at the screen and saw my son was a boy before the tech even got a chance to ask if I wanted to know what it was. I told my husband, remind me when I go in to tell them I dont want to know 🤣

    @MJDsquared yeah our hospital doesn't allow facetime or recording at all in the exam rooms. I wanted to record our first ultrasound and was told it was against policy 😓

    We found out from the NIPT results. Luckily I remembered and restrained from saying I wanted to know at the NT scan. I knew it would be in the email with the results, so my boyfriend and I went to a secluded spot on the beach where we met, and opened it there. It was perfect. 

    Then we actually hadn’t told his family about the pregnancy yet because we wanted to do it in person. We told them about the pregnancy, the gender, and the name we were thinking all in one trip. I made confetti eggs with hole punched pink notecards, and had them crack them open. They absolutely loved it.
