The El Dorado fire still burns, but the pandemic has made 'gender reveals' hotter than ever
Gender reveal parties that were once considered private gatherings are becoming social media spectacles, sometimes with dangerous consequences.“There’s that sense of communal ritual that we are often missing, especially during COVID,” said professor Carly Geisler of York College, who studies gender reveals. “Maybe no one is in attendance, but you’re putting on this huge show through social media.”
But it’s not just social media that has popularized the celebration, experts said. Medical technology, too, has made gender reveals both more accessible and more attractive. “More than ever, we get dads calling,” said Rebecca Karadjian of Sweet Pea 4D in Beverly Hills, one of L.A.'s many commercial ultrasound centers. “Sometimes [moms] already know the gender, and they’ll just come to show the husband and see his face.”In a bid to reduce office visits, obstetricians have also begun using a maternal blood test to check for serious birth defects that were more commonly assessed via ultrasound.
“It wasn’t even really about the baby’s gender,” she said. “It was just about getting my family excited.”
