Who wants to find out the sex?

[xJG30]

When she was born, they held her up and checked what she was. The moment they said 'Its a girl' my OH simply replied 'Its Emily'.

Awwww So sweet

My baby had its legs crossed at my twenty week scan so i couldn't find out, so don't be disappointed if this happens! I am having a 4D scan done in about 6 weeks so hoping LO isn't so shy on that day!

They say that just about the only 'Mystery' of pregnancy you have now, is not knowing the sex of your child... which is right I suppose, with all the technology, scans and tests.

Saying that, with my first, he had his legs crossed at the 20 week scan, so we didn't find out til he was born. I was absolutely convinced he was a girl all the way through.... so much so, that when they said 'its a boy', I genuinely thought they'd made a mistake, and was a teensy bit disappointed for all of 5 secs.

Second time round, they could see it was a boy, and so could I !!! It was great to know that I didn't really have to buy anything, as we still had all of Lewis' clothes and stuff, so it was relatively cheap

This pregnancy was a huge surprise. Only a couple of months before I fell, I got rid of everything. Completely de-babyfied my house... and then.... Bam!!! So now we almost have to start from scratch. I've only ever done the green/yellow/cream thing when buying new..... so this time round, I really want to know. I have my Nuchal Scan next week, and they might be able to tell me then. If not, I think I may have to invest in a 16 week scan, just to find out the sex. The cost would be balance by the fact that I could buy what i really want now... and not all neutral, only to buy it all again after the birth.

I think I want to know, but there again, do I really????? I think it's more to do with the fact that I don't live in England and family will be wanting to send stuff out and seeing as the post isn't the best ever, I'm thinking more practical than anything else.

Also, my sister said that a friend of hers found out the sex at the 20 week scan and she said time just went so slow after that as she already knew what she was having and, although had the baby to look forward to, there was nothing else, like you say, no mystery.

Story:
My sister, huge belly all to the front. Everyone and I mean everyone said a girl. She went into labour, my mum was outside.
Nurse came out and said "oh she's a beautiful girl".
My mum said "yes but what has she had?"
Nurse looked puzzled and said, " I just told you, she's a girl"
Mum replied "are you sure????"
Mum thought they were talking about my sister not the baby!!

Bless my mum, I told everyone the story. So we were convinced we were getting a boy, but w got a gorgeous girl instead.

I have to say that my family, as we are overrun with girls, want a boy. I'm not bothered at all, healthy bouncy baby is what I want!

Everyone is saying to me 'oooh 2 boys, bet you're wishing for a girl'. Actually.... I'm used to boys.... I'm a bit scared about the prospect of having a girl..... especially if she grows up with a little lady attitude like I had growing up... and me as a teenager !!!! Lord, give me strength

I definitely want to find out the sex, and so does my OH. We have a million baby boys in the family (yes, I am exaggerating), so we'd love a girl. That and if we find out before the birth and it IS a boy, well, we can prepare everyone in advance so no one is disappointed (my mom REALLY wants a little girl, we have all boys as far as grandchildren/nieces & nephews). Honestly I don't feel like it is either yet.

I definately want to know what I am having. I didn't know with my first and was sure it was a boy. I was so wrong! I am too impatient of a person and I need to be ready.

 

[cuddles314]

As this is my first I am determined to try to resist finding out the sex. I suppose I want that whole element of surprise thing. If I found out I worry that it'd be like peeking at ur xmas pressies before the big day. lol
But there is still a part of me that does kinda wanna know. Somedays I think I'd love a girl, and other days I'd love a little fella. Oh I am just so indecisive! lol
Either way is fine, just hope that it's a straightforward pregnancy, and I get a healthy, happy bubs at the end of it.
xxxx

i have 2 say i found out with my first 2 boys which was great being prepared and knowing what colour to buy but with my 3rd we kept it a suprise and nothing compares to the excitement when the dr say its a ...... boy i to thought id be dissapointed coz i wanted a girl but i didnt feel one bit like that once you see that beautiful face nothing else matters. i'd chose suprise over knowing anyday.

This is my first and I defo dont want to know the sex its the only thing that will be a surprise, but like you my best mate is also pregnant only a month ahead but she wants to know the sex so she she can buy things accordingly

 

[Vivanco]

I didnt want to know with my first - that said I was convinced from the get go she was a girl. Didnt even have a boys name picked out!!

Both my hubby and I really want a boy this time. Yes we will just be happy with a healthy baby or either gender but if we're being honest we really want a boy. So.......people may find this a controversial thing to admit.....we want to find out now because if its a girl, we will be slightly disappointed - just being honest - so I'd rather be disappointed for like 5 seconds now and then start getting excited about having a girl rather than have that 5 seconds of disappointment at the birth.

Sorry if anyone thinks I'm a total but thats my reason.

I totally agree OH and i want a boy, there is nothing wrong with being honest!!!! We would, like you be disappointed for 5 seconds and then be happy to have another little girl, but we want a boy one!!!!!!!

I just want to know because I'm so impatient and love to know everything.

My husband and I were talking about it over dinner last night, deciding if we would like to know or not and I figured it will still be amazing the first time you get to see them.

This is my first baby so all very new to me. My bestfriend is also pregnant, she is 4 months in front of me. She recently found out the sex of her baby, at this time I didn't know I was pg.

I said I don't think I'd want to know and that I thought it would spoil the suprise, but know I'm not too sure. In fact I am dying to know what the sex of the baby is.

Just wondering how you feel about this? x x

i found out with all my kids and i have a scan on monday to find out about this one! i think it would b so nice if i could wait and see but i get too impatient knowing that i could know!!!
