Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

We are having a She's had a name since 20 weeks, and I couldn't IMAGINE not knowing she's a she!! I def couldn't deal with all gender neutral clothes either...we got some things gender neutral if we have a boy next time, but I love being able to buy pink!

I like being able to say that SHE is moving, or SHE had hiccups, and we keep telling my dog that Cecelia will be here soon!

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

we found out. we are having a girl. no way in hell i could or would not want to know. to me it seems totally pointless to be surprised. i am a teacher tho, and kind of obsessed with planning.

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

We're finding out next month at my baby shower! Our family and some close friends already know what we're having! We're the last ones in on the secret, which is really exciting!!!

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

We are and I couldn't be happier with our decision. I am 33 weeks pregnant and was a little torn about finding out but as we are getting closer, I know we made the right decision. For starters, I think it will be amazing to find out the gender of our baby as we are meeting him/her. I just think it will be so exciting to find out in that moment as we are finally seeing/holding our baby! I personally think it wouldn't have been as exciting to find out in a sonogram room. It is also really fun having everyone guess and make predictions for the past several weeks. I love hearing everyone's opinion!!! DH is super excited to share the news with everyone once the baby is born at the hospital. There aren't that many wonderful suprirses left in life and I think that this is going to be the BEST surprise EVER!!!!!

Also - I know that we want more children so I think it is great that everything we have right now can we used again for our next baby and as soon as he/she arrives, I know that we will get so many boy/girl items from all of our friends and relatives.

I think it is totally a personal opinion but for us, I know this was the right thing and as we are getting closer and closer to meeting our child, I'm just so excited for meeting him OR her!!!!

We found out that we are having a I personally would never be able to wait but I love when people do. It's so exciting!!!

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

It is my preference to stay team green with the twins. If my DW had her choice we would be finding out in a few weeks. I really appreciate that she is willing to just give me my way.

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

We are team this time, this is my 3rd and final pregnancy and we wanted to go out with a bang.

We have a and a and found out with each of them and it was great, but I wanted this pregnancy to be different in it's own way.

DH wants to find out but is not pushing back too much so team green it is.

I'll be able to weigh in on which way is better once this little one arrives

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

cranky-just fm'ed you wanting to know if you are team green!

proud of you! can't wait to hear if the experience is different

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

no we are not finding out the sex.

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

although it sounds really fun to be surprised, I just couldnt do it. I am dying to find out and cant wait to prepare and decorate.

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

We didn't find out with my son and we will definitely not find out with this one or any future ones either! To me, there is nothing like that moment when you first lay eyes on that sweet little life you've been carrying all that time and hear "It's a _____!" It's such an incredible amd intimate moment. I would not want to find out in a doctor's office, while staring at a screen. For me, it loses some specialness that way. But, like PP said, it is such a personal decision. There are definitely pros and cons to each. You have to decide what will make you and your husband the happiest!

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

We are having two little girls. Finding out that we were having twins was a surprise enough, I needed to know the sexes. I wanted to be as prepared as possible when they arrive.

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

We didn't find out with DD and I ended up with a c/s so now since Im having another c/s we thought it would be best to at least to keep something a surprise.

Re: Do or know or will you find out the gender of your baby?

I'm finding out now with my 3rd, but with my first 2 kids it was a surprise

Team green president here! I didn't findnout with both my girls and it was the best feeling ever to hear "its a girl". So exciting to tell family waiting in the waiting room. IMO, knowing doesn't prepare you any better thn not knowing.

We wanted to know asap. We are having a for us it was so exciting to find out & we just could not wait.

That said I DO think it must be an amazing moment finding out in the delivery room. I may try being team green for our 2nd.
