Like the time someone had to comment on her "vag."
Anyway, back in November, she announced that she was expecting her first child with Philip Payne.

"I am really struggling..." Iskra began her Instagram post. "thought I’d feel so ready to do a gender reveal. I was already indecisive about whether I wanted to know, and I’m so happy we did and we shared the moment with my dad and mom on FaceTime our close friends on thanksgiving and then yesterday with my English family."
"I haven’t been able to just text anyone the “news” and certainly don’t feel like I can tell the world."

"I might be carrying baby P and until now it’s been about my pregnancy experience but this is their life."
"Even though right now I know what gender the professionals have announced that may not be who my child decides to be."

"It doesn’t feel right to make a big deal about something so personal to them," she wrote.
Iskra says she's doing this for her child's privacy and health.

"I never want my child turning around and saying why did you decide to share my life online or make it seem like a public service announcement. "
What do you think? Is it a good idea?
