Giuliana Rancic Reveals Baby's Sex & We Love Her Even More

by Sasha Brown-Worsham on June 18, 2012 at 12:40 PM

Giuliana RancicVery few people deserve a baby more than Giuliana Rancic. The TV host, reality star, cancer survivor, infertility veteran, and (finally!) mother-to-be went through enormous amounts to bring her baby, due to be delivered by a gestational carrier next month, into this world. In true Rancic fashion, she isn't keeping any bit of it to herself, either. And that fact only makes me love her more.

One of my pet peeves with pregnant women are people who don't find out the sex of their babies. Granted, I am not judging it. I just don't get it. 

When people say, I wanted it to be a "surprise," I always say this: Isn't it enough of a surprise when a baby pops out of a vagina?

The fact is, pregnancy is a time of many, many surprises, and each time there is a reveal, it's a surprise. Surprise! I am pregnant! Surprise! I am expecting a boy! Surprise! I went into labor! See how that works?

What everyone loves about Rancic is her openness and her candid nature. I can't stand when people say, "Oh we know but we're not telling" when you ask what the sex is. Or, "We know but we're not telling" when you ask what the name is.

Spill, people! The only reason people ask is because they are genuinely excited. OK, OK. I get that some women are more private than others. But I totally dig and respect that Rancic isn't. It only makes me like her more.

I am 100 percent sure that she is going to make an amazing mom. And after all that ... yes, it seems Rancic is expecting a BOY. Break out the blue!

Truth be told, knowing ahead of time was always the best choice for me because it helped me wrap my head around the baby. Sure, I loved my babies when they were inside of me even before I knew whether they had male or female parts. But it sure was easier to imagine my future with them once I knew what each was.

Personally, I can't even imagine it another way and I say major congratulations to Rancic. Whether you found out or didn't or shared or didn't, I think we all can agree on one thing: She deserves to be a mom. It's so exciting!

Did you find out your baby's sex?

    and the mommy wars start.  Cant you just be happy that she is having a baby???  She went through a lot, and if she decided not to tell the word what the sex is, then its her business, and you and everyone else, have no right to get pissy about it

    I didn't find out for either.  I always said when people asked why not " Well, I'm pretty sure it's a boy or a girl...not a cat or dog"  I loved not knowing.  BTW, neither of my sisters found out ahead of time either.

    I would find out if I could be 100% certain. But I know too many people who thought they were having girls be really surprised in the delivery room.

    I found out with both. I don;t get it when people say "it's the last real surprise left in life." REALLY? Sorry your life is so dull. Mine is full of surprises.

    When my wife's mother was pregnant with my wife, she asked one of her daughters if she wanted another brother or another sister to which she got the reply, "I'd really rather have a horse!"  Boy am I glad that wasn't on the list of choices!

    I wanted to know, asap. Gender neutral baby items are kind of ugly. Its not as fun shopping for a baby when you dont know wether its a boy or girl.

    I plan to. I just couldn't wait 9 months to find out. I want to be able to plan and prepare and that's a lot easier(I have friends who found out and ones who waited) when you know the sex.
