I did my first at six months too the others only a month later

I did mine at 20 weeks and it was perfect !

I heard a lot of people say to me don’t do it too early. Do it when you’re 3 months pregnant at least because unfortunately the first 3 months are the most delicate times and anything god forbid could happen and then you’d painstakingly have to tell everyone bad news.

You've made it through the second trimester you can have it now or do it with your baby shower to save in nerve and money

Wait further

I did mine at 4 months

We did mine at six months! It was great but I would say any where from four to six months is great timing

Agree girl :)

18 weeks is when we found out.

I did mine at 20 weeks

Wait. Just for a few weeks more. Allow yourselves the joy of anticipation, wonderment and that either way, you are carrying a reminder of your union and 💕

I did it at 20 weeks. I’m 24 weeks now.

We told our families at 3.5/4 months & found out the gender at 5 months.

Well for me I found out my gender at 20wks and waited a week after to do the Gender Reveal it wasn’t as big but it was enough people to share the news with so yeah u can wait a little longer if that’s what u want to do

I would wait. I waited until I was 5 months and I actually let my mom’s best friend plan the reveal. That way it was surprise for the grandmas and us.

We did a gender reveal at 30 weeks. I was in no rush to find out the gender. We did a soccer ball gender reveal. It was so much fun. My husband is in the military and all his friends are sailors so they’re all heavy drinkers. We did a pink and blue drink. The pink one was raspberry lemonade with vodka and the blue one was the AMF. Being the only sober one there made it very entertaining.

With our first, we found out the gender at 15 weeks. We just posted it on Facebook. We didnt. do anything super special. I'm not sure what we will do with baby number two. We will probably go to peek a belly for early gender reveal but I'm not positive how we will announce it yet.

I Found Out At 21 Weeks❤️

I've heard it suggested to wait a little longer simply because so much can happen. I've had so many friends that decided that due to multiple miscarriages. :( I say go with your gut. You and your guy discuss it, agree on something, and then run with it. There is no right or wrong time. It's all based on you and your family & friends. :) Hope it goes wonderfully for you guys!!

I did mine at 18 weeks. We did the ballons coming out of a box surprise gender reveal. :)

I found out mine at 10 weeks, I couldn’t wait to find out and start planning!

We found out at 16 weeks and our gender reveal party was two days later! We couldn’t wait! Once we scheduled the ultrasound we started planning the party with the help of some friends who did the surprise reveal for us.

We did an announcement and reveal at the same time. The only ones that knew were my best friend and my parents. It was our third so we wanted alittle excitement lol

Do it early! You can start shopping ahead of time! Plus think of names. It took me till The last month to agree on a name.

I found out the gender through the harmony test at 16 weeks and then did the gender reveal at 18 weeks. I don't think there's really a specific time frame for it- just whenever you feel as though you would like to share the blessing 🌸

I found out when I was 13 weeks. We waited until the reveal to find out with the rest of our family. Our extended family actually didn’t even know I was pregnant, because I didn’t want to say anything too early. We announced our pregnancy at a family party and said “by the way we’re also finding out the gender later on.” We waited a few weeks before putting anything on social media, though.

If you don't have nipt or another blood test, just be aware that what looks like a girl can sometimes be a boy! Almost never the other way around though 😀

Ultimately, do whenever you and your partner want but I would tell family I was expecting first. Let that sink in and then do it after 20 weeks once you have your anatomy scan.

I revealed it a few hours after I found out with a photo shoot :)

I had my reveal 1 week before I was due.

We told our family and friends before the gender reveal. We scheduled the gender reveal party for just a few days after the 20 week ultrasound. We didn’t want to wait either.

For my first, we announced at 12 weeks and then did a reveal at 20 weeks. We did our reveal and announcement at the same time with my second, at 20 weeks.

I would find out as early as you can! It helps with planning so so much and helps you build a registry (which is incredibly stressful)

Remember, we don’t have many surprises in life....make this one a surprise

I went to sweet pea in Greensboro to have an early gender and she was a girl and stayed a girl. I love doing smoke bombs for gender reveals in photo shoots 😍

I am 19 weeks, I had my anatomy scan on Wednesday and Saturday is our reveal. I would have it as soon as you can find out. I only waited because I didn’t want to pay for the NIPT and I don’t trust the accuracy of sneak peak and early ultrasounds. I trusted my doctor at 19 weeks, I’ve seen it go wrong other ways too many times. You can do your announcement as soon as you’re comfortable. I told family and close friends in person as I saw them starting at 4weeks and 3 days. Once I’d finally told everyone that needed to know in person I announced on Snapchat(my only social media) at 14 weeks.

My mom new when i was 12 weeks. Told everyone the gender before my bf and i so it was a surprise for us at 24 weeks .

We had a party about a week after the 20 week gender ultrasound. We had the ultrasound tech put the picture in an envelope and we gave it to our friend to hold. He bought blue and pink powder ahead of time. For the reveal, my boyfriends friend did a burn out on his motorcycle. That’s how we found out we were having a girl!

I’ll do a gender reveal and baby shower at the same time. My family lives overseas and they can only come when they have vacation from work in easter time. It will be very close to my due date 😆 I hope baby waits until then. I would’ve done it at 20 weeks. Let me know how you gender reveal goes!

When can u find out .. I mean I had to wait 20wks to even get the anatomy ultrasound done . I had them put it in an envelope which sex baby was . I gave it to my bfs sister and she gave it to her bff 🤣 . We had the gender reveal shortly after and it was great a surprise for everyone .

Im doing the baby shower and gender reveal at the ssme time too so that its easy for everyone whos traveling

I did my gender reveal for both my boys at 15 weeks

I had my gender reveal at 20 weeks. I didn't find out the gender until my 20 week ultrasound. We Facebook live-d it, it was fun. We opened a huge present and a ton of blue balloons came flying out. We also had ppl wear either blue or pink as their guess for the gender, and did some old wives tale activities that are supposed to predict the gender, it was loads of fun.

I wish it was some near I could go to find out sooner because my doctor has me scheduled for Sept 16 . I’m so impatient

Told everyone I was pregnant at 12 weeks, did the gender reveal at 20 weeks and did my baby shower exactly a month before my due date

I’m doing mine at 21 weeks (next Sunday) 💜💜💜 I won’t know till then.

I had mine like two days after I found it, which was at like 14-15 weeks . Even though I didn’t get the boy I wanted, it was perfect 💕
