So this is my second baby and this time around I look at things I did with my first and give myself the ick. I know this is crazy but gender reveals seem sooo tacky to me now and even baby showers. I think after my first pregnancy I felt like every pregnant person I knew thought they have been the only pregnant person in the world. My daughter is also 10 so I think I’m just past that point in my life. Does anyone else feel this way? Obviouslyyy babies should be celebrated but also like the idea of people bringing me diapers to find out what the gender of my baby is gives me hives 🤣 am I just an angry pregnant person this time 🤣🤣

Things like baby showers and gender reveals always felt tacky and overrated to me so I never done that with mine 😄
but yeah, some things definitely get old with time.
Lmao I’m glad I’m not the only one. Even telling people I’m pregnant. I’m very nonchalant about it. Like the announcements too are like cringe 😬

Yeah telling people I’m pregnant felt unnecessary to me too. Ok pregnant, and? I mean half of the population of our planet can get pregnant (unless there are fertility or other medical issues), I could never understand the hype about announcing pregnancy, it’s not like you flew to the moon or something 😄

I am having my second soon and with birthing 2 kids in my 30s I was never really into the big flashy reveals. I guess in your 20s you have more energy for stuff like that, but in this season of life I am past the noisy parties in general and focus my energy on other things. Come to think of it... I was never into big parties, but it wasn't until my 30s that I accepted my true introverted self 😂
I’m so happy I’m not the only ”grinch” of pregnancy 🤣 I kinda wanna do it Kylie style and not tell anyone

We hit a golf ball in our backyard with our son and sent the video to our friends and family. I’m not waiting a week to arrange a party for people lol

I have always wondered why ppl cared about the genitalia of another baby lol i actually have never ever understood it even as a child when ppl did the gender reveal I was like 😳 but why????? lol

I have two under two, didn’t have a gender reveal for either one. I was pressured into having a baby shower with my first. I don’t care for the attention, nor the unnecessary gifts. What I would much rather have a hot meal dropped off during the post partum period. lol

Never did a gender reveal party. But I did let my 4 year old pop a balloon to find out if he was getting a brother or sister. That was fun. I had a baby shower for my first but I was honestly disappointed with what we got. I know that makes me sound selfish and greedy, but I literally only got clothes and diapers. I had an entire amazon wishlist, so it kind of irritated me that no one used it. Don't get me wrong, I was greatful for the clothes and diapers but there was so much more that I needed. Also, most of my friends dropped me like a bad habit after I had a baby, so I didnt have anyone to invite the second time around.

I hate baby showers/gender reveal parties all of that. There were a small group of women in a volunteer organization I’m part of that insisted on hosting a baby shower for me- I wasn’t even super close with them. I told them a number of times they didn’t need to but they insisted. It was just that group invited and beyond awkward. I literally just had to force a smile the entire time and think about how it made them happy.
