flag A survey reveals most parents learn their baby’s gender before birth, often via medical tests, despite widespread belief in unsupported pregnancy myths.

flag A new survey of 2,000 parents and parents-to-be finds widespread belief in pregnancy myths, such as heartburn predicting a hairy baby or spicy foods inducing labor, though these lack scientific support. flag Despite this, 69% learn their baby’s gender before birth, with most doing so before 20 weeks for reasons including naming, shopping, and emotional connection. flag Grandparents are the most common recipients of the news, and gender reveal parties are seen as fun by 47%. flag While dads were slightly more accurate in guessing gender, preferences leaned toward boys, partly due to perceptions of raising girls being harder. flag Most use apps, birth plans, or medical testing, but only 4% rely on at-home gender tests, despite early detection being possible.
