'Complete Kail and the chaos': Kailyn Lowry shares her experience of going through gender reveal process twice
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kailyn Lowry didn’t get it right at first!
In her recent 'story time' on TikTok, the TV personality shared that she and her partner had to go through the sex reveal process twice.
At 31 years old, Kailyn Lowry initially believed she was expecting twin boys, only to discover that wasn't the case.
In her video, she shared, "So when I first found out I was pregnant with twins, we did the NIPT non-invasive testing. I want to say this is between like nine and ten weeks, or eight and ten weeks, something like that."
"We went for the blood test and they said that if they were boys, they would pick up an XY chromosome on the test. If they were two girls, it wouldn't show and so you would know both of them were girls."
"However, when you get the test back, if there are any chromosomes — if there is any XY, you assume that they're both boys — I assume they were both boys," she shared.

Kailyn Lowry on the 'chaos' of wrong sex reveal
Revealing details about her initial gender reveal experience, the expectant podcaster humorously described it as a "complete Kail and the chaos, couldn't make that s--t up" moment, reports People.
"One of the smoke bombs didn't go off, but when I got the initial email, I opened it, and it said boy — but it didn't say boys, because obviously, you don't account for the other twin," she said.
"So this is a little lesson for anyone who is finding out when they're pregnant with twins. If they are fraternal and there are boy-girl twins, only the boy chromosomes will show up on the test."
How many children does Kailyn Lowry have?
Following a scan, the gender of their twins was officially confirmed. Kailyn Lowry shared, "We went for a scan, an ultrasound, and they were able to confirm that one was a girl."
"She didn't even really confirm. She was like, 'It looks like it, but I can't 100% confirm.' Then obviously, by the 20-week anatomy scan, they were like, 'Okay, one is a girl.'"
"So that's why we didn't know from the initial email and the smoke bomb and all of that. We thought that they were both boys," she stated.
The reality star announced the news of her pregnancy on her podcast 'Barely Famous,' a few days after confirming the birth of her fifth son, Rio.
