for those on team green/yellow

[nada87]

i was just wondering if you would share why you are. i'm curious so i figured it couldn't hurt to ask. thanks

 

[chrissypm]

Since I already have a boy and girl I have lots of stuff for both, I've thrown nothing out. So no matter what im prepared. I did find out with my first 2 though. I think not knowing is making my pregnancy seem to go slower im so curious to find out.

 

[nesSAH]

Well, our baby is not cooperating and just wants to keep us guessing.
We've had three ultrasounds and we've finally managed to take all the necessary measurements and baby is very healthy, but def. likes being curled up

None of the techs have been able to get a good shot at what's between his/her legs :hahaha:

Go TEAM YELLOW

I didn't find out with my DD and we're not finding out this time. With my DD we never considered finding out, we just wanted the surprise and this time we're just doing it again. It was the best surprise when she was born.

Also not sounding mean but a few of my friends were pregnant at the same time and when they had their babies it was kind of like oh Sam's here or Kate's here you know? I just don't think I'd find it as exciting knowing all the details beforehand. I love surprises!

And I didn't find it hard preparing, I bought green and yellow but I ended up coming home from hospital with 4 washing baskets full of pink! Everyone buys you stuff when the baby is born.

It's been a very long and invasive journey for us. We were trying over 4 years to conceive and during that time I've done all kinds of things, from surgical procedures, I became quite the expert on Cervical Mucus, and was never afraid to discuss this with others who are also trying (we would be excited even!) I put thermometers where they are not mean to go and succumb to various medical drug remedies. I knew exactly when I was ovulating, when my period should be arriving, Doctors knew my body better than I did. Then of course comes IVF, which is a whole other kettle of fish...There is just no dignity or modesty left after IVF lol...

So after everything, we just wanted something to remain natural, out of our hands, uncontrolled and unexpected....That thing happens to be the sex of our child. So that's why we're choosing not to find out. We just want something to be a surprise

Hasn't even occured to us to find out for either pregnancy. Totally a personal preference thing but I just don't feel the need to know in advance, quite traditional in that way. It's making picking names a little harder, but in terms of being prepared for either sex, I wouldn't be rushing out to buy loads of blue/pink anyway, and like Lou Lou says, you tend to get bought loads of stuff as soon as the baby arrives.

 

[catfromaus]

I want the surprise! I'm honestly not bothered either way, after having a miscarriage last year I know how blessed I am to have a healthy baby, so I'm saving the surprise for its birthday.
Go team yellow!

we think that the greast surprise of all is when the baby comes out and we can see what sex it is.. other than hearing it from the doc on the ultrasound.. we want to keep on team yellow

 

[LouLou1926]

Oh and another awesome part of it was my DH got to tell me what we had. She was put on my chest and he said oh wow it's a little girl!

That was really special for us.

 

[1babygirl1987]

the ultimate surprise will be when my baby is placed on me and told if we have either a boy or girl, and it doesnt matter which sex it is, just as long as they are healthy.

I dont feel unprepared i have everything already, will take one blue outfit to hospital and one pink and see what outfit we need to bring baby out in.....i get so excited thinking about it!xx

 

[didda]

I haven't considered finding out with this one and didn't with my son! With my son, after a difficult and long labour, it made it all worth while when my OH said "It's a boy!" Mind you, not finding out doesn't stop me and everyone else guessing what 'it'll' be!!! I think some of the 'theories' are hilarious!!! I remember last time people would ask "What are you having?" as I think it is so common place to find out now!
I love a surprise and like 1babygirl1987 I took a blue and a pink outfit in last time and just took the other one back afterwards! Will be doing the same this time too!
It is personal choice, but I say Go Team Yellow!

 

[stephx]

Im on team yellow as I have an akward lil baby Wouldn't show us what it was!

Butt.. im coming round to it now, its gonna be an amazing suprise!

xx

 

[holywoodmum]

Our hospital's policy is not to tell - they don't want to get in trouble if they get it wrong. They're very strict, my friend wanted to find out as her hubby was in Afghanistan, but they wouldn't even tell her, she had private scan.
I don't feel unprepared. I wouldn't be decorating a room pink or blue anyway, I prefer bold primary colours, so that's not going to change in any way!

 

[hannahR]

I think staying on team yellow allows you to have and experience one of the best and biggest surprises you will ever have. The first time you lay your eyes on your baby and your hubby or whoever is with you can tell you what it is, is just so so special. Its an indescribable feeling. The excitment is just fantastic. For me it doesnt make it harder. Like others have said you get given loads of stuff after the baby is born. I love being on team yellow! xx

 

[nb1984]

We had just always said we wouldn't...and then when we found out I was pregnant we had a waiver for a few minutes and then stuck to Plan A and have kept it as a surprise, I just think after labour it will be such an amazing thing to look forward to! We don't have a preference and actually it is quite exciting not knowing! xx

 

[NewYearNewMe]

We have not found out and that was the agreement before I even got pregnant. I love surprise's and also the guessing game! Only one person I know thinks its a Girl and everyone else thinks Boy! This is my first baby and our parents first grandchild on both sides so the surprise is for everyone really!

 

[RHR]

We decided we wanted to have a surprise. We're not bothered if we have a boy or a girl. Either will be fantastic. It's also a good job we didn't want to know as when I had my 20 week scan bump didn't want to let any know what sex he/she is.

I'm glad we don't know, but I want to meet my baby now and can proudly say here's my son or daughter.

We've got a lovely cream onesie suit to bring bump home from the hospital in. Argh, I'm so excited.

 

[pixiesuzy]

i really wanted to know but baby had it's legs shut tight, although the nurse said she thinks it's a girl as she couldn't see any boys bits protruding around the bottom area she couldn't be sure so we are team yellow/green !

 

[Torz]

I have always said even before we were even thinking about babies that I wouldnt like to know the sex before hand. The suprise is the best bit. I cant wait for that magical moment when my OH tells me what sex the baby is.

Was taking to one of our friends on saturday night & he was telling us his experience. He said finding out the sex just after the baby is born is one of the best moments in life, its like that first real christmas that you understand what happening, the anticipation & excitment. You go down stairs & rip open that first present. Thats how he described it, but then went on to say that unfortunatly for me, i'm the wrapping

 

[Youngling]

I did originally want to know the sex but OH doesnt, I couldnt know something like that and not tell him.
But im coming round to the idea of it being a surprise, and am looking forward to finding out at the birth however we had our 20 week scan yesterday and I think its a boy : )
