Gender reveal??

Question

I'm beyond excited for our anatomy scan tomorrow! I finally get to see my little boy or girl! I'm just a little torn.. Should we let the sonographer announce what the gender is.. Or should we request the results to be put in an envelope and take it to the bakery and have a surprise cake made for us? The soonest we'll cut the cake with family will be in 5 more days! I just don't know if my patience will allow me to wait any longer!

Answer

I've been to a gender reveal where mom and dad to be were surprised in front of everyone. Mom to be started crying (and not from excitement) from severe shock and gender disappointment. It was the most awkward and horrifying thing I've witnessed so I definitely recommend finding out before everyone!

Answer

We plan to find out at our appointment and maybe with my mom but then reveal it to everyone else. I want time to process and I don't want to be shocked with everyone else (though I'm 99% sure I know what it is). But gender reveals are becoming really big. I just want our baby firsts to be something special with the 2 of us.

Answer

My husband and I found out at our gender reveal party it was exciting to find out with all our family and friends present to find out with us. We had pink and blue cupcakes but in our case only the pink cupcakes had filling in them. Since this will be our last child I'm glad we did this.

Answer

My husband and I found out in advance of our family, and I'm glad we did. I was pretty sure I knew what it was but even so, I was hit by pretty severe gender disappointment. It would have been very difficult for me to find out in front of our families. I recommend finding out as a couple so you have that special moment together and can take time if you need it to process it before having your reveal party.

Answer

You could have him write it on a paper and then go pick out a boy and girl item - show the bagger and have her put it in there. Get it wrapped and open it at Christmas!!!

Answer

It all depends on how you feel about it! Gender reveal party is great and so much fun! But you need to be prepared in advanced for whatever comes, so that you don't have major disappointment.

Answer

Wait and find out with your family with the cake!

Answer

I took an envelope containing the gender to the baker today! We are cutting the cake on Saturday with a small group of close family and friends!!!

Answer

I wish I could have waited. Amazing to those of you who had the patience.

Answer

I am pregnant with my 4th baby. We found out at our ultrasounds with baby 1-3 and surprised family with the gendar of baby #3. We are having a gender reveal in February with this one and plan to find out at the same time as everyone else.
