Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

If I was only carryone one baby I would NOT find out.
Being that Im having twins, we are going to find out

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

I'd have to know. It's just my nature!!

My girlfriend is PG and she doesn't want to find out because she feels its the only big "surprise" she has. I give her credit, I wish I had the ability to not know.

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

I had to know also. I am going to try not to if in the future we have more kids. We already know and picked a name. So I wish I would have kept one of those a suprise at least. But I still don't regret it.

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

We didn't find out and I think it's added to the fun somewhat b/c we constantly try to guess as does everyone else we encounter. It was easy in the beginning, however I admit it's getting harder now that we're coming into the home stretch. I don't regret it. I think there are very few surprises left in life from this point out and this is one of the good ones.

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

I'm not finding out. It's kind of become a bet bwetween me and DH. I am sure it's a boy and he thinks girl.

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

I am definitely finding out...I'm such a planner that I want everything done before the baby arrives. DH would like it to be a surprise...so I told him, I will find out and not tell him

I also think it's much easier to buy gifts and such if you know. My best friend didn't find out and it drove me crazy

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

ahhhh!!!


this is killing me....im so unsure of what to do.

15 minutes till i leave!!

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

Have them write it on a peice of paper and take it home with you.
You can find out when you are ready

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

I guess we are little old fashioned, since no one in our families never found out what they were having we didn't want to find out either.

Only 9 more weeks left

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

My SIL never found out with either one...and neither did her sister. They said the hubby's only job (after the initial deposit) was to run out of the delivery room and tell everyone in the waiting room whether it was a boy or girl...and she didn't want to take that job away from him.

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

We found out and I don't regret it for a second! DH and I felt it helped us to bond more with our .

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

I always said that I would not find out but now that the time has almost come, I think i will find out.

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

I had to find out. I can't deal with suspense...LOL We don't regret it. There's still a surprise in it for us in the fact that we don't know what he looks like and we are not planning on having one of those 3D/4D sonograms done. DH and I are always guessing what he is going to look like. Whether he'll have DH's face and my dimples...LOL So we still get to play a guessing game, it's just not about what the sex will be...

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

Dh and I just had to know. We decided that before we were even pregnant. I'm so glad I did. I was able to prepare her whole room and register for girl stuff - not to mention the clothes!!!

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

We did not find out. There are not many surprises in life so this will be something to look forward to finding out and get me through the labor. I have no prefrence what so ever..i just want a healthy baby....boy or girl we will be thrilled.

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

i found out and i dont regret it. imo, i thought i would be just as exciting at my level II to hear "its a boy, or its a girl", as it would be when the baby was born. and by knowing the sex ahead of time, i picked a name and started talking to her, by her name before she was born, and i could decorate more easily. and i thought it was wonderful. i also found out the sex of my second as well. and if i ever have more children i will find out their sex as well.

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

We found out and it was the best decision ever for us!

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

When we first found out I was pregnant, DH and I were in complete agreement about wanting to find out the sex. Last week he decided to change his mind and wants it to be a surprise. I'm hoping he changes his mind again, because I need to know. I'm a planner and will be over-the-top stressed if I can't plan a nursery the way I want.

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

I had to know. its just my nature. at first DH didnt want to know but he caved in. we have no regrets and will probably find out next time around as well. We love that we can call her ny her name now and its not like "the baby" and "it" LOL each to their own though....

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

So did you find out?

We didn't for our first, and I loved the anticipation! I had a feeling it was boy all along and I was right.

for planning purposes, we had to find out for the second.....

Re: To Find out or To NOT find out..that is the question!!!

DH and I felt that there were so few true surprises in life that we didn't want to know. My only regret is not being able to get the room finished, and having all yellow, green and white at the shower. But we don't regret it. We just did a gender neutral room (purple, green & yellow) and will add the gender-appropriate border once the baby is here. As for the clothes from the shower, they are just as nice in generic colors, and I can always exchange later if I want to.
