20wk scan today and battling with curiosity!


I do not, do not want to find out what the baby is.......... i desperatley want the surprise of not knowing but OMG i am struggling and think when I get to the scan if they ask me if i want to know what it is i'll just say yes!

Help!! Also, my partner may not make it in time for the scan as he is travelling back form london after a meeting and if he's not there I might be even more tempted as he has been as dead set as me in not wanting to know. I seem to have woken up this morning with a streak of rebel in me and cant control myself. Whats going on?

ALso - it could end up being obvious if its a boy couldn't it, and then what, i wont have the option of the surprise at all will I!

I dont know what im doing!!!! My daughter (4) is coming to the scan with me and I definitely wouldnt want her to know what it is and she would tell the world lol and if I do find out I would tell no-one!

Help!

Call the clinic ahead of time before curiosity gets the better of you and tell them that they must NOT, under any circumstances, no matter how much you beg, plead or cry, tell you the gender of the baby! lol Then when you're there, ask the tech to warn you not to look at the screen if baby's parts are on display. Good luck!

Mine is tomorrow and I'm scared that I'll crack at the final point. However, I'll make a pact with you: if you don't I won't! How's that sound?

erm.....

well. I didnt find out - yet!

My other half did manage to make it and he ended up saying 'oh shall we just find out' I didnt like all the pressure and thought I wanted to think about it a bit more. So... the sonogropher has written it down in a sealed envelope for us for if I decide to look.

I havnt even been tempted to open it yet but we are only an hour after the scan lol.

She said its 90% whatever it is, but obviousy they never want to say for definate. It was jumping around everywhere, waving, sucking its hand, got some lovely pics and everything appears as it should.Yay!!

I wonder how long til I take a peek at the envelpoe, so naughty!

lol

I actually think if i'd have gone alone I woudnt have asked at all, but richard seemed to have a complete change of heart and i could see it in his eyes he wanted to know. He said it would be practical and we can be really organised, I tried to explain that we were totally organised for our first and we didnt know then, to which he agreed.

But we both were so adamant we did not want to know at all and now we have a huge decision to make lol.

What if once i find out I spend the next 20 weeks wishing i hadnt, and... what if its wrong!!!!!
