Finding out

We didn't find out the sex - only because hubby wanted it a surprise and he promised me next baby we could find out.

So I went through a very long and hard labour - which ended in an emergency CS. Up until the labour started I wanted to know the sex. I even begged hubby all the time to let me ring them and ask, but he stuck to his guns. But when they pulled her out and told me it was a girl, i couldn't have been happier. I'm so glad I waited. It made it easier and more exciting and it made me more determined to go a bit further when I was pushing. So for us it worked to not know. Next time I'll probably have an elective - and I want to wait again. :)

Found out for all three,and don't regret finding out in the slightest either...but if I was to ever have another (unlikely but) then I would like a surprise,cos I really don't care what it is,I was hoping baby number 3 was a girl,and she was,and I have my boy and another girl,so I wouldn't mind either way,a surprise would be cool

i found out with #1 as we both really wanted a girl and i wanted to go crazy on the nursery with pink if i could lol...dont regret it at all as we named her as soon as we knew she was a she and so we got to talk to "charlotte" instead of "it" or "baby" which i think helped my bond especially after an emergency CS. I also felt more prepared with it being my first and im too impatient to wait. I also thought that if it was a boy, id be happy but itd be a lil gutting as well so wanted to get that silly feeling out of the way before meeting the baby...as everyones said, its stil a suprise just you get the answer at 20weeks instead of 40...well probably find out with #2 aswell

We didn't find out with #1 and haven't with #2, I'll find out in a few weeks what #2 is when they arrive. Neither of us wanted to find out with #1. This time around it was more tempting but we decided not to at the last minute.

I wanted neutral clothing etc to start so that we could use them with all our children. DD got heaps of girly things after she was born anyway.

I don't call baby it. It's baby, or bub bub as DD says.

We had a surprise with DD and this one is also a surprise. DH left it up to me to decide but I would hate to find out one gender and have it be the other - you would have this picture in your head and suddenly that would be taken from you.

Each to their own - I loved finding out after all that hard work

I found out DS was a boy, but didn't find out what DD is, won't be finding out this time either. I liked the idea of surprise. DH got to tell me DD was a girl when she was out. I thought she was a boy the whole way through pregnency and I was wrong. So it was a good surprise, I did secretly want a girl more.

I think if I hadv'e foind out what DD was earlier I'd be anoyed with myself that I didn't wait.
It was my reward at the end.

But  with DS it was nice that I knew what he was as he was named well beofre the birth so we were really used to using his name.

So neither way was better for me it was just right for me.

Haha, Thanks-you.
