Spanish influencer Estela Grande is expecting twins with her partner,Getafe FC player Juan Iglesias. The couple recently learned the sex of both babies following a Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) procedure, opting for a private reveal rather than a public “gender reveal” event.
Understanding Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)
NIPT is a screening test used during pregnancy to assess the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities in the developing fetus. Mayo Clinic – NIPT It analyzes fetal DNA circulating in the motherS blood. While primarily used to screen for conditions like Down syndrome, NIPT can also accurately determine the sex of the baby as early as 10 weeks of gestation. However, in cases of multiple pregnancies, like Grande’s, obtaining clear results for each fetus can sometimes be more complex.
Initial Concerns and Confirmation
Grande initially expressed some concern as the initial NIPT results were inconclusive for one of the babies. She shared this experience on her Instagram stories, explaining the complexities of determining the sex of twins with this particular test. Fortunately, subsequent testing provided clarity, allowing the couple to learn the sex of both children.
A Private and Meaningful reveal
Unlike many expectant parents who choose elaborate “gender reveal” parties,Grande and Iglesias opted for a more intimate experience. “we wanted to know in intimacy, only Juan and me and so it was very special,” Grande stated on instagram. This decision reflects a growing trend towards more personal and less performative celebrations of milestones like pregnancy.
Challenging Gender Stereotypes
Grande also expressed her discomfort with traditional gender associations, specifically the use of pink for girls and blue for boys. She feels these colors do not align with her personal values and chose to forgo them in her announcement. This aligns with a broader cultural shift towards challenging gender norms and promoting gender neutrality.
A Touching Tribute to a Lost Pet
The couple initially considered involving their dogs, Bella and Gant, in a reveal. However, Gant has since passed away, making a public celebration feel inappropriate. “But Gant is no longer with us and we do a lot to do it without him,” Grande shared, highlighting the emotional significance of their pets and the desire to honor Gant’s memory.
This announcement has generated excitement among Grande’s followers, who are eager to learn more about the upcoming arrival of the twins. While the couple has chosen to keep the sexes private for now, their decision to prioritize intimacy and challenge traditional norms resonates with many.
