Ladies who didnt find out the sex...

I already have a DS. I found out with him bc I cant handle suprises. BUt for this dc i dont think I want to know. We have everything we need, minus girl clothing, which i can pick up and then return if the need be. Please tell me I can do this!!!

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
yes and no. the beginning was really hard mainly because i was so indecisive with teh nursery. i couldnt find anything gender neutral that i liked and it made me want to find out. once i found something, that all went out the window.
everything we registered for is neutral which i would have done anyway.
after the nursery, i cant see any other reason to have to know what the gender is. it hasnt bothered me at all. i have 68 days left and people are trying to guess the sex which i love.
its a fun experience! stay !!

ITA... we were team with Mason and we're doing it again. Once you pass the half way mark it makes it easier. Then you'll be glad you held out and worth the wait.

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
We were team with DS and we are team again this time. It was the best, and really the "need to know", at least for me, wore off eventually. You can totally do this!

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
i agree once you get past the 20 week sono it is easy sailing - i loved that everyone was speculating what my baby was going to be while i was in labor
there is much more anticiaption around the birth by friends and families of the babies that the sex is unknown -
once you figure out the nursery it is not that hard and even that if you find 2 sets you like - just paint the room a common color
it is a lot harder this time for me because i have a ton of sonograms with my twins but i still want to wait because i loved the end moments with my son - i am a major planner who usually does not like surprises either

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
I wouldn't say the anticipation is killing me - it's more exciting than anything I think. Plus it's killing our families not to know, so it's kind of fun torturing them. It gives me something to look forward to that day as well since I'm going to be put under general anesthesia for my scheduled c-section.
DH was pushing to find out sooner (even though I'll be 27 weeks Saturday), but he watched the Cake Boss baby special and saw how Buddy came out of the room to announce the gender to the family, so now he's convinced to wait again. He's always wanted that moment, but I think seeing it helped it sink in a little.

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
I wouldn't say it's killing me, but I definitely have moments where I just want to know already. I think the hardest thing has been having to pick out 2 names. I've got less than 5 weeks to go and we still can't agree on either gender! Other than that it's been kind of fun. I can't wait to see who guessed right based on whatever crazy old wives tale they've heard

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
I found it pretty easy to be most of the time. At the 20 week sono my DH waivered but we stayed . With less than 5 weeks to go, the anticipation is killing me! I can't wait to find out.

After 20 weeks it was so much easier! It kills you in a good way. I cannot wait to meet him/her and have the doctor say it's a!

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
this will be my third
I could not see me ever finding out! It is such an AMAZING experience in the delivery room that just my DH and I experience!
It is fun listening to everyone's guesses and predictions!
I am not a fan of calling the baby by it's name before they are born (that is just me).
I def recommend it is one of the few happy surprises in life..and I didnt want to have it any other way!

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
I mostly just can't wait for the day to come so we can meet our LO.
But the anticipation isn't killing me at all...I thought it would, but nope. Not really.
The only time I think about wanting to know is when we are in stores with baby clothing, and I think how much I would love to know if the outfit I'm looking at will be good for the baby.

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
Yes! It does kill me especiallly b/c I wanted to know but DH didn't. I have to say though it's really kind of exciting to not know.

Re: Ladies who didnt find out the sex...
IT WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I found out I was pregnant with twins I immediately knew I wasn;t going to find out. Why find out? Especially with twins - all the possibities, all we knew was fraternal.
It was my first preganacy and I have older sisters that had both baby girls and boys so it really didnt matter and there really wasnt a nursery to set up b/c we were moving in with my parents.
Honestly the moment when its announced in the delivery room is the BEST ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What other thing as an adult is a surprise? I knew what I get for Xmas, I knew my engagement ring and when DH was going to pop the ?
I highly recommend to women DONT find out!!! You wont regret it!!!!!!!!!
BTW, I had - no one guessed that!! Everyone said  what fun!! What great story to tell my girls too!
