Did you feel strongly about what you thought the gender would be and then it was different?

You are talking about sex. Not gender.


Gender is a social construct.


Yep. My kid is trans, and fluid in gender, so the sex of my kid remains the same but the gender changed. Good luck, OP, if you are fixed on gender heteronormative styles and you get a kid like mine. It is hard, heart opening, and a challenge to navigate society that is so binary. I love my kid, society has not yet caught up.

OP here and no way! I will be having a big extravagant one. It’ll be like a second baby shower. Not sure how we’ll do the reveal but it’ll be very fun and exciting. If the baby is boy I will be buying him only all blue things and trucks and dinosaurs. If it’s a girl she will only wear pink and love ballet and dresses. And no I’m not joking!

My DC are 25/22/20. Much to my MIL’s annoyance/agitation/bewilderment,
DH and I did NOT want to find out the sex of our babies, ever! I loved being surprised!

Was absolutely convinced out last was male - a minor urogenital issue was detected at a sonogram and both the radiologist (at a follow up) and obgyn knowing we didn’t want to know the sex of the baby led with stats about how this is common/easily fixed with infant boys. 🤔 Imagine my shock then when I delivered a girl - with perfectly healthy urogenital system!

If we can't call them gender reveal parties can we call them sex parties? Lol

A baby is a human being, not a doll.

And no, I’m not joking.
