The celebrations that come with having a baby are eagerly anticipated by many parents-to-be with baby showers and gender reveal parties commonplace across the US and increasingly common in other countries.
One mum-to-be had her party ruined by her own mother's cruel prank as she excitedly waited to find out her baby's gender. The disappointment on the young mum's face is clear as she realises what has happened.
Back in 2021, TikTok user @dinkymisspretty, real name Ashlee, had family and friends gather round to watch her pop a balloon and see for the first time whether her unborn baby would be a girl or a boy.
