Staying team yellow?

[xVAP]

I've been thinking about it and I think I dont want to find out my babies gender. I mean, I can only begin to imagine the feeling of being told, "its a boy/girl!" those few seconds after birth. In a brief conversation about it with FOB he said he really didnt mind, it was up to me whether we find out or not although he'd prefer to stay team yellow. Although I think as my pregnancy gets further on I'll want to know more & more about my Little Baban.

Did any of you girls plan to stay team yellow then end up giving in?
For the girls that stayed team yellow, are you glad you did? And did you ever 'just know' the gender of your baby?

My OH really wanted to stay team yellow! I told him that it was my first baby and delivery day will be exciting enough.. so we found out the sex of this baby! My next baby I'm going to stay team yellow because it'll be a little easier the second time around. I'm really impatient though and wanted specifically to go blue or pink with this pregnancy! BUT I herd lots of women who stayed yellow the whole time and they said it was magical when their baby was born! Some of it even got the women through labor easier! If you want to then why not it the best surprise you'll get in your life But I hope you can stick with it! I know I wouldn't have been able to this pregnancy..

With my daughter, I just knew she was a girl, she was. With this pregnancy, I just feel it's a boy, and will be shocked if its not. Lol

I was on team yellow :] Not by choice though, the sonographer just couldn't tell..

Weeks leading up to the scan everyone was saying I was having a girl, from the shape of my bump and to all the wives tales I just seemed like someone who was going to have a girl, I even had dreams of having a girl although I've always wanted a boy, so scan came and I was disappointed that I couldn't find out but just got use to it and anxiously awaited the surprise, towards the end of the pregnancy I started to believe I was having a boy,
When I gave birth the midwives said they wouldn't say anything and I should look myself it was the BEST feeling ever! I was so happy to have gotten by healthy lil boy that I've always dreamt of.
Only downside was shopping cause all the pink and blue stuff are so cute but that's not a big deal at all cause when I had him everyone got him boys clothes and it was lovely.
I'd definitely recommend staying team yellow :]

We did, we both knew 100% that he was a boy though! We didn't have someone say what we had, and it was amazing to get to look yourself and see I will never find out the gender of any future babies! I loved being Team so much!

I didn't but that sure would be fun!

I was originally going to be team yellow but had a scan at 17w - a 4d and she asked me if I wanted to know. me and OH said yes I wouldn't change it for the world because I bought some beautiful outfits for my next I will stay team yellow though as it will be our final baby.

I didn't but it seems really exciting but hey I'd go crazy not knowing which team I'm on. I'm glad I found out it makes things a lil bit easier.

I just knew that I would only get to choose the name before he or she was born if I found out. Otherwise we would settle on names, and then when FOB found out it was one or the other he would start arguing about how it isnt manly or girly enough... wanted to get the fight out of the way earlier!

Hmmm it's up to you really, I can see the pros and cons of both.

Finding out was good (although it just confirmed our instinct anyway, we were both convinced it was a little boy) because it was nice to be able to say 'my little boy is kicking' or 'not long until he arrives', you sort of feel really bonded to your bump iykwim? It was a special moment for me and my OH to look at the screen and have the ultrasound tech say 'It's a little boy in there' Also, it is great for shopping because you can buy as much blue or pink as you want!

However, we did want to stay team yellow originally. It was mainly due to low will power and the pressure of other people like my MIL that made us change our mind. I would have loved to have been told at birth, I think it would have made going into labour so much more exciting knowing you were hours away from finding out the sex as well. Also it makes it more of a surprise for other people, when we had Oliver everyone already knew the gender and the name we had picked out etc. I'm definitely going to stay team yellow with future babies, and also try not to pick a name until the baby is born either! xx
