Couple Opts Not to Know Sex of Baby While Pregnant. Then Unexpected Person Ruins the Surprise
A woman who opted not to learn the sex of her baby before the birth found out anyway, after her mother-in-law went behind her back She writes on Reddit that she found out she was having a boy when acquaintances approached her at the grocery store Now, she wants her mother-in-law to know she's upsetA woman who decided not to learn the sex of her baby before the birth was in for a surprise when her mother-in-law went behind her back to find out. In a post published to Reddit, the 26-year-old woman explains that she and her husband are expecting their first child. "I am not fussed on the gender of my baby, neither is my husband, we just want a healthy and happy baby. Thus, we have not found out the gender, rather we want a surprise, or at least I thought," she writes. She adds that she has always had "a pretty good relationship" with her mother-in-law and has been sending her ultrasound images and other updates about the pregnancy. However, as she nears her due date, her mother-in-law "has been dying to know the gender." She is "constantly asking if we have changed our mind, and time after time, my husband and I say our minds are set on a surprise," she writes. Recently, the woman "had some mutual family friends approach me in the middle of the supermarket, and congratulate me and my husband on having a baby, and how exciting it is to have a little BOY." The poster was "taken aback" and told their friends that they did "not know the gender of the baby." "The family friends reply that 'Oh yes, MIL NAME, told us it was a boy,'" she writes. "I didn't say anything at the time, just smiled, and turned to my husband and kind of just went 'You need to investigate this.' " The man then called his mother and asked for an explanation. "She explained that she asked her friend, showed images of the ultrasound (works in the medical field/midwifery), and she confirmed it was a boy." They also learns that the mother-in-law had "told everyone."

The couple confronted the mother-in-law, and the soon-to-be mom expressed her "deep disappointment and anger," telling her they need some space. Now her husband's siblings are saying she overreacted. However, Reddit users disagree, arguing that the woman should keep the baby far from the mother-in-law for as long as possible. "Make it at least a year. No contact, no holidays," wrote one commenter. "If she couldn't wait a few weeks for the gender reveal, she can wait a few months for the baby reveal," another added.

Mother discovers her baby's gender in 'worst way ever' after confetti cannon blunder
A mother has claimed her baby's gender reveal was 'ruined' when she found out in the 'worst way ever'. Jess Gildenhuys, from King's Lynn in Norfolk, was in the Card Factory with her husband Josh, 33, buying her mother a birthday card when the couple spotted gender reveal confetti cannons and balloons for sale. The 33-year-old, who had just had her 20-week ultrasound that morning, was carrying the gender of her baby in an envelope which the technician had given her, so she could find out at a reveal party. The mother wanted to buy the items ahead of the party but first checked with a staff member that the store could ensure the colour of the products could be kept a secret from herself and her husband. Jess, owner of her own business, Hello Moon Crystals, claimed the staff member told her they could keep the gender a secret from her by removing the labels from the cannons. However, the business owner said that when the couple went to buy the items, the colour of the confetti cannon came up on a screen in front of the till as 'coastal blue.' Jess was 'shocked' and even more frustrated to see the colour of the cannon was visible on the receipt too. She had been looking forward to finding out the gender of her new baby with her two daughters, Jupiter and Athena Gildenhuys, aged six and three. Jess said: 'It's the worst way ever to find out the gender of your baby, you couldn't even write it. 'You absolutely do not expect your gender reveal to be inside a Card Factory. 'I was so shocked. It's hard to be shocked in that situation and keep your cool when you're in a public place. I didn't want to make a big deal of anything. 'I've already got two girls. I was convinced this was a girl because I thought I was destined for girls. I'd already bought girl's clothes as well. 'It was disappointing because we didn't find out as a family but it's also a funny story to tell I guess. 'I mean what can you do in that situation apart from just laugh about it?' She claimed she sent Card Factory an email a few days later to complain and received an apology from the company. Footage shows the couple using the confetti cannon and balloon at a family party with her family where their daughters found out they would be getting a new baby brother. She said she sent Card Factory an email a few days later and said they asked which store this had happened in and that they were sorry for her disappointment But sadly Jess and Josh already knew the gender of their baby as for them the surprise had been ruined. Jess said: 'Because this is our last baby for sure, we wanted to make things a bit more fun and do something as a family. 'It was disappointing the way we found out. It was ruined in that way. At least it made it fun for everyone else. I am a very positive person in those kinds of situations. 'At least it wasn't just me, at least I was with my husband. 'I didn't want to say anything to the person at the time either because I didn't want to come across rude or disrespectful or anything. 'I just can't believe I'm going to be a boy mum. I'm like, 'oh my god!' It's exciting though, It'll be fun I'm sure.' She shared a video of her experience on TikTok with the words: '@CardFactoryUK ruining our gender surprise.' The situation left viewers divided in the comments with some saying it was simply human error. One said: 'You can't blame them. They've simply scanned the barcode not realising it would come up as blue or pink.' Another wrote: 'Oh dear haha. Maybe next time get a friend or family member to get the items.' A third commented: 'Imagine finding out in Card Factory.' A fourth said: 'You poor thing. I can't imagine going through such a thing in my whole life. Sending so much sympathy to you and your family.' A Card Factory spokesman said: 'We've been in touch with Jessica to offer our sincere apologies. 'We've also issued reminders to our teams to advise customers that these items can show up on our till screens and receipts. 'We would like to try help make amends to Jessica and her family and encourage her to make contact with our customer service team.'

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola and her fiancé Justin May hosted a gender reveal gathering at Lobster Lounge on the Seaside Boardwalk ahead of the August birth of their first child. 'If you guessed boy you were right!' the expecting 38-year-old announced on Instagram Monday. 'We love you little baby and can't wait to meet you! Boy mom and dad to be.' Sammi and the 36-year-old corrections officer originally began dating on August 1, 2022 and they got engaged on March 16, 2024. It's been an incredibly long and difficult IVF journey for Giancola, who previously revealed they suffered a miscarriage on the November 21st episode of the MTV reality show. 'It's been a lot of shots, it's been a lot of hormones. Just the thought of even being pregnant was such a magical moment for me, and just to have that taken away. It's devastating for me,' the Sweetheart Styles owner cried in a confessional. '[Justin] is so positive and uplifting. He's so special to me, and I just am so thankful for him. He's been by my side through this whole thing. I just love him.' Sammi told People that she and May are 'just happy to have any baby' and 'didn't care about gender,' but 'we kind of had a feeling what it was' a boy. The former Karma bouncer-bartender added: 'I can't wait to just play sports. Teaching my kid, coaching the Little League teams and stuff. It's going to be exciting.' Giancola invited the entire Jersey Shore cast to celebrate her baby news including her ex-boyfriend Ronnie Ortiz-Magro in an exclusive photo obtained by the magazine. 'It's just so iconic because me and my roommates, we've basically grew up here in Seaside and also me and Justin met here in Seaside,' the excited mom-to-be gushed. 'It's just very sentimental, meaningful all around.' Sammi's toxic on/off romance with her 39-year-old ex spanned 2009-2016 and lead to similarly volatile relationships with his babymama Jen Harley and ex Saffire Matos, which resulted in domestic violence arrests and a rehab stint. Ronnie and Jen are now amicably co-parenting their seven-year-old daughter Ariana in Florida. 'The [cast are] actually all amazing parents and they're very inspiring and I feel like they have given us great advice,' Giancola said. 'I love what they told us. They know the ins and outs of parenthood for sure.'

The 15th anniversary season for the GTL crew was filmed at the original Seaside Heights house and will include trips to Jamaica, Cape May, and Nashville. 'I have to get surgery. I'll do anything to have a kid at this point,' Sammi vowed of her baby journey. Before Justin, Giancola previously dated Code Green Solar consultant Christian Biscardi from 2017-2021. The original Jersey Shore - which spanned six seasons from 2009-2012 - surrounded hard-partying roommates sharing a New Jersey beach house as well as their mantra 'gym, tan, laundry.'

Huge UK rock star reveals his stunning wife is pregnant with twins
A HUGE rocker has revealed that his stunning wife is pregnant with twins. Oli Sykes, 38, who is the lead vocalist for rock band Bring Me the Horizon, has announced that he and his Brazilian model wife Victoria Alissa Salles Silva, 27, will soon be parents. 5 5 5 Taking to social media to share a sweet video revealing the happy news, Oli left fans in a frenzy. Oli has been married to Alissic, born Victoria Alissa Salles Silva, since 2017. They met while she was working as a model for his Drop Dead Clothing collection. In the video he shared, both Oli and Victoria could be seen sitting at their dining table with a box each in front of them. Opening the boxes, they each got out a cupcake that would end up revealing the gender of their twins. "Oh my god," Victoria said as she opened her box. "Are you ready?" she asked Oli, to which he said: "Bite it, bite it." Victoria took a bite and then revealed that there was pink sponge inside the first cupcake. Oli declared: "We're having a baby girl!" The rocker then opened his box and munched into his cupcake. Bring Me The Horizon perform their hit single Can You Feel My Heart As Oli revealed the colour inside his cake, the pair both screamed loudly. "Oh my god, no f**king way, no f**king way," Oli said as he turned the cupcake around so it was in view of the camera lens. Showing off the blue sponge, it was revealed that the pair would be welcoming a baby daughter and a baby son. Victoria then said: "This is crazy!" What are the different types of twins? TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy. They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy. Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy What are the different types of twins? Monozygotic – identical twins ('one cell' twins) Dizygotic – also known as 'fraternal', non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it's estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours. Can identical twins be two different sexes? Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes. The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide. Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female). What are Di Di twins? Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins. They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical. There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor. Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical. Commenting on the post, one person said: "Congratulations to you both." Another added: "This is the cutest thing I've ever seen CONGRATS." "You hit the lottery omg twins and a boy n girl," penned a third. A fourth then wrote: "OMG Oli is going to be a father! Did not expect the news of twins, but congrats to you both." While a fifth said: "OMG I'M FOLLOWING HAPPINESS!!!!! PLEASE BE HEALTHY!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!" And a sixth added: "So exciting. Best feeling in the world." Bring Me the Horizon are a British rock band. They were formed in Sheffield more than 20 years ago in 2004. The group currently consists of lead vocalist Oli, drummer Matt Nicholls, guitarist Lee Malia and bassist Matt Kean. 5
