Nix and Naomi are catching up again with Dani from the Figure as we follow her multiple pregnancy.
After sharing so much just a few weeks ago, Dani drops quite the surprising bombshell which saw her gender reveal turned upside down.
Find out how Dani is going as she reaches the halfway point of her pregnancy.
Congratulations you are pregnant! How exciting. Oh wait…there are two babies? Three babies????
Suddenly all the rules have changed. The panic sets in. The fact that you were never planning on finding out the gender of your baby may change now its TWO or THREE babies. Planning mode kicks in and you decide you now need to definitely find out the genders. But take a step back. You don’t HAVE to find out the gender just because there is more than one baby in there.
The desire to have a surprise at the end of the pregnancy means some people choose to not find out the gender. In todays technologically advanced world you may know the date of conception (from careful ovulation tracking to IVF), the date they are to be born (elective c-section or induction) and even what they look like (have you seen how clear the latest 4D cans are!!). So to find out the gender is really the last of the unknowns.
There aren’t that many surprises in life that can equate to this. That moment when you see them for the first time and find out their gender is equated to a moment time stands still. Plus you know what they are for the rest of their lives, those few months of not knowing is so exciting. And it is fun to keep everyone guessing.
Be warned though, you may face backlash from family and friends (and even strangers!). Be ready for comments like “I could never, how will you be prepared?” or “but you’re having two………”. Let me assure you, all the gender specific clothing in the world will never actually prepare you for having multiple babies!!
