Gender Reveal

Whitney

I am 14 weeks pregnant with our first child. We elected to hold off on blood work and find out the gender at the Anatomy Scan Ultasound usually 18-20 weeks. We have our appointment scheduled on a Friday and planned to do a gender reveal party the next day, Saturday. My question is: is it too risky to plan the party so close in case the baby isn’t positioned properly and we are unable to identify the gender or are we fine? I don’t know the odds of this happening but it would definitely be embarrassing to have a whole party planned and not know the gender.

I had a private scan at 14+4 days with the gender reveal scheduled the same day. I believe having a full bladder helped a lot.

That gives me hope! Thank you so much. I also heard drink a bit of caffeine to help make the baby active. I’m trying to prevent my grandmother from making 2 trips from Ocala since she wants to be there for the ultrasound and the gender reveal.

I guess you could always get a private scan if they can’t find out on your 18 week scan. I couldn’t find out with my first two (both girls) who both had a cross legged yoga pose going on 😂😂 my son however had his legs wide open for all to see!
