How to Reveal Your Baby’s Gender?

You are organizing a party to reveal the gender of your baby. You’ve got everything ready and the guests have already confirmed, but you’re missing one thing: knowing how you will reveal your baby’s gender. Although a baby gender test shows you the gender of your baby, you have to plan an epic reveal party so that it stays in people’s minds for a long time. There are several ways to do this. The most common is to use a kind of confetti of a particular color that falls from a place, or you can even use compressed air to make the confetti bomb pop. However, how you reveal your baby’s gender will depend on your imagination and the resources you have available at the time. If you can’t think of anything, you can search the Internet. Platforms like YouTube have videos where people show the gender of their baby uniquely.

Some ideas for the big reveal

Your creativity is the only thing that can limit how to reveal your baby’s gender. However, if you’re short on creativity, here are some ideas.

Another good idea is to use chocolate bars such as Hershey’s and cover them using wrapping paper of one color or another. You can also cut out the space so that only “HE” or “SHE” shows, depending on the gender of your baby. If you want to create a fun and messy gender reveal a surprise, you and your partner can conduct a pillow fight. The idea is to stuff the pillows with confetti in a color that shows your baby’s gender.

Baby Dorian Bennett arrived two months early and needed neonatal intensive care. Despite having insurance, mom Bisi Bennett and her husband faced a bill of more than $550,000 and were offered an installment payment plan of $45,843 per month for 12 months.

Close to midnight on Nov. 12, 2020, Bisi Bennett was sitting on the couch in her pajamas and feeling uncomfortable. She was about seven months pregnant with her first child, Dorian, and the thought that she could be in labor didn’t even cross her mind.

Then, she felt a contraction so strong it knocked her off the couch. She shouted to her husband, Chris, and they ran to the car to start the 15-minute drive to AdventHealth hospital in Orlando, Fla. About halfway through the trip, Bennett gave birth to Dorian in her family’s Mitsubishi Outlander. Her husband kept one hand on his newborn son’s back and one hand on the wheel.

Born breech, meaning his head emerged last, Dorian wasn’t crying at first, and the terrified new parents feared something was wrong. Chris Bennett turned on the SUV’s flashers and flagged down a passing emergency vehicle. The EMS team escorted the family to the hospital.

“He was still connected to me with the umbilical cord when they rolled the two of us together into the hospital,” Bisi says. “They cut the cord, and the last thing I heard was, ‘He has a pulse,’ before they wheeled me away.”

“I just cried tears of relief,” she says.

Dorian stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit until Jan. 7, 2021 — almost two full months. While Dorian was in the hospital, Bisi wasn’t worried about the cost. She works in the insurance industry and had carefully chosen AdventHealth Orlando because the hospital was close to her house and in her insurance network.

Then the bills came.

The Patient: Dorian Bennett, an infant born two months premature. He has health insurance through his mother’s employer, AssuredPartners, where she works as a licensed property insurance agent.
