Hey! Curious about when people are doing their gender reveal scans? I’m 13 weeks and deciding whether or not to wait until the 20 week scan or to do it slightly earlier at 16+ weeks? My family want to keep it a surprise and my boyfriends want to find out, just not sure how long I can keep a secret for!!
I'm currently almost 10 weeks pregnant and I have a hairdresser appointment this evening, do I have to tell her I'm pregnant? I really don't want to as I'm not 12 weeks yet and haven't had my scan but I'm not sure if it's something I should be telling her or not? Any help would be appreciated
