NOT finding out gender...

We aren't finding out either!
I'm excited for the surprise but everyone else is begging us to find out lol
 
We are team yellow!

My mom always was too but she is annoyed we are. I can't help but laugh!
 
I really don't want to this time, but DH is insisting. He keeps saying," I can find out and just not tell you". Grrr... I'm actually hoping lo just won't cooperate.
 
Team Yellow here! :flower:

Does anyone else feel almost 100% sure that it's going to be a certain gender, though? I was kind of hoping for a big surprise at the end, but I feel completely convinced that its a girl, so I feel like it won't be much of a surprise, really.
 
We are not finding out! While we were (and still are) over the moon at conceiving with our 1st IVF round, we felt it took that 'surprise honey I'm having a baby' aspect out of it. Our surprise will be the gender at birth, although it's very very tempting to find out we will appreciate it and thank our past-selves in 5 months time :)
 
I wanted it to be a surprise, but my honey didn't. The best I could do was set out our ultrasound for as late as the dr let us.... So... We found out Thursday what we're having and it felt kinda wrong. It's nice not calling baby an it anymore, but otherwise I don't see the benefit of knowing. Baby doesn't need THAT much stuff prior to arriving really.
 
Ive said I don't want to know the gender prior to birth this whole time, yet now that it is the week of the 20wk u/s, I am feeling guilty that I will want to have my eye out for dangly bits... Am I cheating!?? What if something is just sticking out obvious-like? I will tell the tech prior to starting not to tell me

I like the idea of keeping it a surprise, though :dohh:
 
We don't want to find out, we are getting a ridiculous amount of criticism from some people about It though which makes me so mad!
 
Maybe it's a cultural/country thing but those who find out the gender are more of a minority in the UK, if anything I got pressure NOT to find out. Most NHS trusts won't tell you, you have to have a private scan. I chose to do it for my terminally ill father in law who wasn't expected to make it past when she was born. I wanted him to know. Otherwise I wouldn't have.

If we ever get to second time round, we don't really want to know but our daughter is adamant she wants a sister. Depending how she is, we might gender scan, just so we can change her mindset and avoid any unpleasantness if she ends up with a brother.
 
I admire all you ladies who are not finding out... I just would not be able to do it! Not knowing would niggle away at me day after day.
 
Team yellow all the way. I love that moment at the birth when you do find out. Just thinking about it makes me teary! Bloody hormones! I had my scan on friday and thought i saw girlie bits but i still cant shake the feeling its a boy!
 
Team yellow here too! I'm in the uk too foogirl but am definitely in the minority, all of my friends so far have found out whereas we didn't with dd or this lo. I love the surprise! Thinking it's a boy this time though.
 
We're not finding out either! Cant wait for the surprise :happydance: I'm in the UK too yet most of my friends find out what they are having so I'm definitely a minority! X
 
Moving over to second tri this week but just wanted to say we're staying team yellow this time too! Will be weird as I found out with the others!

UK here too
