She Waited 9 Months To Reveal The Gender Of Her Baby To Her Children, But Then A Nurse Ruined The Surprise
There are a lot of disastrous gender reveal stories out there involving parties that took a tragic turn after an attempt to make them over-the-top and social media-worthy.
Fortunately, this one isn’t a dangerous or life-threatening incident gone wrong. No one dies, but it does have a disappointing ending.
A TikToker who goes by the handle @notyetthesmiths1 waited nine months to tell her kids the gender of their new sibling, only to have the surprise ruined by a nurse.
The video posted to TikTok has gained nearly five million views. At the beginning of the video, the mom had her camera focused on her newborn daughter, wearing a pink knit hat.
She was waiting for her other kids to arrive at the hospital and possibly hoped to capture their reactions once she revealed the baby’s gender.
Then, a nurse’s voice could be heard in the background, saying, “Someone’s on their way to see a baby girl!”
Immediately, the mother let the camera fall onto the bed, annoyed that her plans were spoiled. When her kids arrived, she asked her eldest daughter what she thought the baby’s gender was.
“A girl, because the nurse just said it is,” said her daughter. The mom tried to save the moment by informing her kids that there were two babies in the room, hoping they would think the nurse had gotten it mixed up.
The video ended with her kids debating amongst themselves whether the newborn was a boy or a girl.

Most of the TikTok users defended the nurse in the comments section, asking the mom if she had made her plans known to the nurses.
Some others pointed out that nurses work long hours, so that nurse probably just made an honest mistake.
In a follow-up video, the mom clarified that everyone knew what was going on, including the labor and delivery team, the night nurses, and the day-shift nurses.
“We wanted to do things a little different, just because this was our last kid, so we wanted to kind of surprise them in a different way, so we thought we’d all wait to find out the gender,” she explained.
The mom then went on to say that she didn’t think the nurse purposely ruined the surprise. But even so, she was still extremely upset that the secret she had kept for nine months was spilled in a split second.
In the end, she acknowledged that all that matters is that her baby is healthy and loved.
