Gender Reveal

[randypnw]

Trying to get a gauge here. Did y’all wait for the birth to find out gender or did y’all do a reveal or have the doctor tell you?

Wife is gung-ho on not finding out until delivery and I’m starting to think I’m onboard with waiting too.

@randypnw We found out early with an ultrasound, but we skipped the goofy performative stuff. I don't think there's a wrong answer, though.

Except accidentally starting a wildfire. That's definitely wrong. Don't do that.

@ruvat Or blowing up your guests

@randypnw We found out at the anatomy scan. Finding out helped me begin to bond with baby. Knowing his name and picturing his future made this all more real for us.

@kathyb Yep same here, we wanted that bit more information about the baby. I can totally see that some people would prefer the surprise, but we've had so many on the road to getting pregnant that we wanted a bit of certainty.

@randypnw I want it to be a surprise, wife wants to know.

Wouldn't do a reveal either way, that's not a thing in this country luckily

@randypnw If you can handle two lists of names then go for it

@randypnw We did the nipt test. But we didn't do a reveal because it wasn't important to us. It was just a cool thing to know about the baby.
