If you found out the sex

[Pixxie]

Do you wish you hadn't? I kinda wish I didn't know now I'm almost there I wish I had been less impatient and listened to OH who didn't want to find out. xxx

Nope I dont regret it one bit! I have loved picking all the boys clothes, decorating his nursery and obsessing over boys name! In fact, I think it has been my fave part of my pregnancy so far!

I think the look of sheer delight on my OH's face when we found out was priceless and it was a moment I wont forget. And I know when LO arrives, he will be just as excited then too (and probably double checking he defo has all his bits and pieces).

i'm glad we found out - but both oh and i like to be organised, and knowing i'm having a girl has helped us do this. EVERYTHING is ready for a little girl to arrive (hopefully in the next week!!!)

However - and i'm not sure how we have managed this, but we are the only ones who know we are having a little girl. We have both managed to keep it secret, know one knows that we know so dont pester us. My mum really didnt want to know and as her only girl i thought she had to right not to find out so best way we thought was to keep it from everyone!

No I dont regret it one little bit, I'm so excited to meet my little man and knowing that he is a boy has meant I am completely organised, his nursery is in boy colours, and he has some real trendy clothes.

Its not something I feel I could regret even in the slightest!

 

[Minnie_me]

Not in the least; being able to call her by name, picking clothes and toys for her.... Love it!

They dont tell you the sex here in scans however on my last scan since i was over due i asked if they could see if they could well see anything and they did and it was clear what the sex was. Now I am excited to know only I went and told my dad who I told not to tell anyone especially mum and now poeple are buying appropriately colours and I feel the excitement is lost more now. I should have kept it to myself really because no one else could keep it to themselves now i feel since i have been alone all this pregnancy they know now and wont bother being excited or come near me. I am glad I found out near end here, made it even more exciting but wouldnt have been way earlier on in pregnancy.

I wish I didn't know in certain ways.. but its benefited me in others for example, I've been able to buy specific things for girls and as you know my LO may need surgery when shes born.. so I've been able to prepare for that.. and to be honest thats the reason why I know the sex.. as I didn't ask I just got told.
Given the choice of knowing or not knowing (if there weren't medical problems) I'd prefer not to know..

 

[sglascoe]

aww no way i loved finding out, i have beenable to prepare more and purchase all the little bits for a boy lol, blue blue in this house...

 

[pinkneon]

For me I am glad I did. There are so many people I know having babies at the moment that everyone is sharing everything, and some people have promised me a few things that I don't think I would be getting if I was having a boy - most of the people having babies are having boys! A lot of my friends have older girls so have stuff to give me - as long as my princess doesn't now be born a boy!

 

[pinkneon]

Plus I LOVE pink!

 

[starcrossed]

I don't regret it a teeny tiny bit!

Pud has a lush nursery, lots of lovely things, and its given us a chance to think about his name as its been a bit of a struggle although we'll decide for sure when he's here.

Also up untill gender scan OH had pretty much decided Pud was a girl, I'd hate to think baby was one thing and then find out its another right at the end. (not that that will happen as I have 2 scans a week and Pud loves to shake his bits at the midwife little flirt

I think this far along it may be the grass is greener effect.

I didn't want to find out but dh did so we agreed to find out on the condition with a second we wouldn't find out so I could my surprise

 

[Kent Mummy]

so glad we found out (both times!) personally it helped me prepare better - and this time round particularly as telling my 2 year old the name and about her little baby sister who is in mummys belly.

[Karina&Bump]

I'm glad we found out, I dont think I would have been able to prepare fully if I didnt. We have everything set up and in place for our little girl and clothes that will go throughout her first year. We wouldnt have been able to do that if we didnt know.

 

[Pixxie]

I feel a bit odd now for feeling like this I think it's just because OH didn't want to know and I told him it was tough, I was finding out if he liked it or not! xxx

 

[hmu04146]

Im soo glad we found out makes it seem really really for me, we can imagine what our son will look like xxx

 

[evewidow]

im half and half tbh ...

i wanted to find out as we had never found out before with the others and i didnt like much of the neutral stuff in the shops plus with it being last baby here i just kinda wanted to know as it was the only thing i hadnt experienced in any of my pregnancies.

but ... now that i do know i am a bit scared to believe it and worried about all the pinkness i have bought , for me it seems stressful knowing, in case they are wrong , to the point im having a 3d scan to be extra sure. if i had stayed team yellow i wouldnt have this paranoia.

however i have had fun buying dresses etc haha

 

[Pixxie]

Yea I think part of it for me is I don't really believe them! Like when people ask if I know what I'm having I never just say 'A girl' I always say 'It's supposed to be a girl' and all the things I've packed for hospital are neutral, no pink, I just have a feeling they are wrong! xx

 

[hillside]

I am really glad we found out we're having a girl. Only I feel slightly bad that my MIL didnt want to know, but there was no way to keep it from her after we knew.
Had a very vivid dream that I had a boy, and now i am paranoid that they are wrong. Here in Canada you only get 1 ultrasound at 21 weeks, unless they need to recheck something - so there wont be any confirmation of gender until she's born. crossing fingers the technician was on her game that day and didnt make a mistake.

 

[evewidow]

ha me too im like well they say its a girl .....

and although i have bought pink stuff i plan on taking only neutral to the hospital
i dont think they are wrong i just some how feel i am jinxing it after 2 boys - if that makes any sort of sense.
