how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
I say I don't, but I am weak, LOL! This is my last shot at a girl (and of course health is most important), but I don't know if I should find out to "prepare" myself for another boy, or if a surprise would be better on the day... Ugh...

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
Dh didnt care either way and left it up to me to decide ( i love that man, he is so easy going)
I am so glad I waited bc I still cannot wait for that moment in the delivery room "Its a ......" and my friends and family are so excited to find out too. So I am glad I waited. 
oh and I didnt want a neutral nursery like green or yellow , I want either a girly room or a boyish room so we are not decorating it until the baby is here since the baby will be in our room for the first couple of weeks, there was no need to have the room done right away

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
I am having twins and its hard enough coming up with two names, let alone 4!!
I am also just so curious. I want to be able to call them "he" or "she" instead of "it" or "A" and "B".

This is why we waited as well.

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
I never knew what I would do until I was actually in the position. I totally want to know. I feel like since I CAN know the sex, how could I not find out?! I never thought I would want to know, but I so do!

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
It would make sense for me to find out this pregnancy since she/he will be sharing my dds room (her room is pink) and ill need to know if i need to paint half the room a boy color.. but i want that surprise in the delivery room. I found out with my dd b/c dh and i just decided one day we wanted to know.
This time im super excitted for my dh to know before me.. I knew i was prego before he did and i want him to know something before me.. this may be our last child so i really want this.

I'm way too impatient...and I knew I wanted to decorate the room in a gender specific way.

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
We just both knew from the beginning that we needed to know. We needed the room to be blue or pink, I cant deal with the yellows and greens.

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
DH and I talked about it before I got pregnant. I wanted to know, but he didn't. The more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea of waiting. For me, I think it will be that much more exciting to find out in the delivery room.
I'm not worried about a nursery b/c we're not setting it up until after comes home.

I must ageee, I loves thr anticipationof not knowing, we knew formteh beginign we would not find out. n dwe will do the same for all our pregnancies.
BTW- we did not fix up th enursery until our son was born, so his room is very much a boy room, even though we did not know in advance.

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
I just love to torture myself, so we are waiting until the delivery room We also waited with my DS and there was no high compared to hearing "Its a ....." But in the meantime, I can say that I have turned my sono pics upside down and inside out just to make myself crazy !

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
it was never an issue to us... we both definitely wanted to know....
(and we totally have a gender-neutral nursery... that wasn't why.... we just wanted to know so we can imagine the future a bit clearer and plan names  )

This is why we didn't find out either. Hearing the words "It's a BOY (in our case)" will be something we will never ever forget. There are so few surprises in life and NON as big as this!

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
I just feel that pg has so many suprises and things that are out of our control, why not know/predict the one thing that is a nice thing to know about my pg (the sex)? I have had to know the bad things, I wanted to know a good thing.
No regrets, finding out was the best way. I also feel it's a nice way to prepare yourself mentally, if you aren't someone who likes to be unprepared or surprises (which I don't)!

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
It was the most amazing surprise and exciting moment in the whole world finding out in the delivery room. I can't imagine having that gigantic moment be as exciting at the 20 wk. sono. DH wanted to know but I vetoed him. With our next baby, it's up to DH. I really hope he doesn't want to find out this time either, but it's up to him. I'm all about the gender neutral nursery- I prefer green over pink or blue, so it worked out great.

Re: how did you decide if you wanted to know the sex.
We found out with DD and it really was a let down hearing it on the phone when I got my CVS results. I was so excited she was healthy; I could care less about what sex the baby was.
This time we want to be surprised. Its going to be hard since I could know the sex for SURE in two weeks since my CVS is on Monday.
