Often couples rarely care about the baby's sex when they know they are expecting a child. Moreover, many of them choose to know sex only during childbirth! This is what the American couple did that was very surprised to know that it was a boy, after a long descendants of girls. Discover the mother's reaction!
The issue of the child's sex intrigues little prospective parents in early pregnancy. As soon as they begin to familiarize themselves with the idea of welcoming a new member of the family, they begin to ask questions about their gender in order to better organize themselves.
When can we know the sex of baby?
To know the sex of baby, the gynecologist performs an ultrasound that allows him to see the genitals of the fetus. So, if it's a girl, he'll see the labia majora and if he's a boy, he'll perceive his penis.
Generally, prospective parents can know the baby's sex at 22 weeks of amenorrhea. During this period, the results are more accurate and reliable. But it is possible to know it well before!
It should be borne in mind that, although medicine has evolved considerably and examinations are increasingly reliable, the results are not always 100% accurate. Sometimes the boy's sex is not very visible and parents are wrongly told that they are expecting a girl. Moreover, many parents were surprised to have a baby of sex different from what they were told.
Do you need to know the sex of your baby?
Some couples are eager to know the sex of their baby and do ultrasound to better prepare and organize, while others prefer to keep the element of surprise until the day of delivery.
The decision therefore rests with the parents who both agree on this subject. This is precisely the case of the Crouch family who decided not to know the sex of the baby until D-Day!
It's a boy !
Dara Crouch is a young mother who worked for 7 years as a nurse in the maternity ward. During these years, she was able to see the different reactions of parents who had just discovered the sex of their baby during childbirth, and decided to do the same with her husband Eric.
Dara who already has a little girl, Neyland, got pregnant with her second child and therefore did not try to know her sex.
She was almost sure that she would still have a daughter, because for over 50 years, no boy was born in her family on her mother's side. His uncle was the last.
But on April 25, 2017, she was surprised to know that she had a boy. Everyone was happy and especially amused at Dara's reaction. She did not know how to hide her emotion.
This moment was immortalized by the camera of the photographer Neely Ker-Fox. The latter said that during her 6 years of experience, she was never able to capture such a reaction. She also added that when Dara's son grows up, he can see all the love his mother has for her through this photo and all the love she has taken during and after childbirth.
Dara was obviously mad with joy to welcome her baby but was still in shock. The mother said that when the midwife showed her her baby, she was shocked. She could not believe her eyes!
Even Eric, her husband, was moved by the scene and could not hold back her tears.
Dara and Eric named their son Liam. The whole family is pleased to welcome this little, even Neyland, her sister, who seems very happy to have a brother.
The photographer who was present at the birth of Liam also attended the delivery of her elder sister and is almost sure she might never be able to take a picture like this.
