Many people today have gender reveals before the birth of a baby.
While not everyone agrees with the process and the decision to have these kinds of parties, more often we're seeing couples online celebrating the welcoming of a new baby.

Many parents hope for a boy or a girl based on the couple and their "wants."
For example, if a couple already has a daughter, they sometimes want a son then.
If a couple really wants a daughter and finds out they are having a son, they can sometimes be "disappointed" when they find out.
There's no wrong way to do it. This adorable family in the video below chose to fill a giant black balloon with either pink or blue balloons and pop it.
I've seen a lot of gender reveals, but I've never seen someone rig up the exhaust system of a supercar to emit blue/pink smoke.
As you can tell, this couple couldn't be happier over the news of having a boy.
This dad-to-be takes one mighty cut but winds up striking out worse than Nolan Ryan. Luckily, the embarrassment is quickly replaced by unrequited joy!
But not every couple is always as pleased to find out the gender of their baby.
Mom-to-be Marissa, TikTok user @prunty14, shared the photo of her "gender reveal" with her husband.
The color would then change their white shirts into either blue or pink, revealing if they were expecting a girl or a boy.
When they uncovered their masks, they didn't look very happy at all.
In fact, they were disappointed in finding out they were having a boy.
The mom said that they "already have a boy" and this is their second son.
They are "still happy" but were disappointed in that one moment of finding out.
Some commented that they should be "grateful" to be able to have kids at all. Others said that this was "cringey."
Some said that they totally understand, as they also experienced "gender disappointment," after having several sons or daughters.
While some understood gender disappointment, one commenter asked why the couple would post it, stating "their son may see it one day."
Understandably, that wouldn't be the kindest video to have to watch.
These two had tried time and time again to get pregnant but to no avail. Then, just when they were thinking of giving up, the happy couple received news that they were expecting triplets!
The couple already shared a daughter together and it looked as if all of their dreams were about to come true. That is — until they found out the news about their babies' gender.
This didn't sit well with the father-to-be. According to a Reddit post written by the mom, her husband said “I just wish you’d given me one boy, so I could do stuff with him.”
After much consideration, she decided that if her husband couldn't appreciate his daughters — then he didn't deserve to be there at the birth.
She reasoned that it was her choice as to who should and could be in the room.
Should couples be grateful to have children or can you relate to wanting to see a smaller version of yourself in your child?
