Ivanka Trump Is ‘Superstitious’ About Revealing Baby’s Sex

Ivanka Trump, daughter of billionaire business mogul Donald Trump, isn’t spilling the beans on what sex her baby is. The little one is due in roughly two weeks and the excited mother-to-be said she is too superstitious to tell people if it’s a boy or a girl.

She spoke to Fit Pregnancy about the reasons why she doesn’t want people to know, even though she herself found out what she is having: “I don’t like to tell people, but I don’t have the discipline to keep it a surprise. There are so many variables in motherhood that, those I can control, I like to.”

She told the October/November issue of the publication that her and hubby Jared Kushner have a running joke about her pregnancy:

“I had a long running joke/prank with my husband, where I told him the only thing he would have to do the whole pregnancy is pack the bag for the hospital,” Trump continued, “He initially thought I was joking, but I kept going with the joke and he became very nervous about it.”

Even though Jared had his fears about the pregnancy, he remained fully supportive of his wife: “He kept telling me, ‘I’m happy to do this, but you’re going to be unhappy with what I pack,'” she said. “‘I’m going to pack the wrong things; some of this stuff, I don’t know what it means. You know the nursing bra? I have no idea what that is.'”

Having enjoyed making her husband squirm for a while, she finally broke the good news to him:. “I finally told him that I’d been packed for three weeks and not to worry about it. Come on, please, especially with a guy — it wouldn’t have worked and he is 100 percent correct that he would have packed all the wrong stuff. But I had some fun with him for a little while.”

At the end of the interview, she spoke about the importance of instilling self-confidence in children from a young age: “I want to help her develop self-confidence because I think, especially in girls, a sense of self-confidence is probably the most important thing you can facilitate. I had a lot of teenage friends that went the wrong way because of a lack of it.”
