Gender reveals are very common these days.
But whilst most couples would stick to popping balloons to reveal confetti inside, one concert goer went a different route.
Lucy Ware was attending a Harry Styles concert in Madrid, Spain when she held up a sign desperately trying to get the singer's attention.

When the 'Watermelon Sugar' singer noticed her, he read aloud her sign: "Harry, reveal my baby's gender."
No small feat.
As the crowd cheered, Styles said: "Are you ready for this? First of all, congratulations.
"How far along are you, may I ask?"
When Ware revealed that she was 17 weeks along and that this would be her first baby, Styles acknowledged how important this moment would be.
"This is big, big" Styles said, as he paced the stage.
"Who has the facts?"
A closed envelope made its way to the stage where the former One Direction member geared himself up for the big reveal.
Styles said: "Can we build some tension in here, Madrid?
"The facts are with me. I now know the sex of your child."
Finally, it was time for the news to be announced - but not before Styles called for a drum roll.
Teasing the woman, Styles did a few build ups before stopping short of revealing the gender.
In Styles' words, this technique of building suspense was called 'edging'. The less said about that the better.
At long last, the gender is announced.
She was having a girl!
And the crowd went wild as was to be expected. At least she can lay claim to having the most dramatic gender reveal in history.
But it seems like Styles is a pretty popular choice when it comes to revealing the genders of his fan's babies.
One fan at his Wembley show gave him a balloon to pop on stage which was full of confetti.
Dressed in a light blue t-shirt and glittering heart print trousers, Styles seems to struggle to open the gender reveal balloon – hilariously grimacing at the item.
Instead of dropping the mic, the 29-year-old instead hypes up the awaiting audience and jokes: “Be quiet, will ya?”
He then swings his arm as if to release the gender reveal balloon with the crowd cheering him on, only to dash away in the last second - also 'edging the crowd' before revealing that she was expecting a baby girl.
Perhaps he should start a small side business for this?
