Anyone else keeping the gender a secret?

Im only 5 weeks this will be my 3rd baby its actually my rainbow baby. My first 2 are boys and i had serious gender disappointment with my second because my husband wanted a girl so bad. So after my last pregnancy ended in miscarriage idc what this baby will be so im just going to keep ot as a surprise and idk if ill be able to hold out. So if you are holding out or have done it before how to stop myself from asking the big question "WHAT IS IT!?!"

I want to know also I had 5 ultrasound and they me it was a girl than it was a boy Lol. My husband and I already have one boy and 4 girls so we are praying for a boy this time. I pray you get a little girl. Hold faith and tell God what you want. I will pray you get your heart  desire

Well i hope you get another boy. Ill be happy either way but everyone wants it to be a girl whoch is one reason i want to keep it a secret because when my second turned out to be a boy i constantly got comments like "didnt you want a girl" "are you going to try for a girl" "you need to have a girl" so if this ones a boy id prefer not to hear ot will im pregnant.

Hahh yeah ill probably go back and forth between wanting to know. I have a really close friend i met on this app when i was 5 weeks with my 2 year old and she lives in canada she says she really wants to know what im having so i joked and told her id have them put thw answer in an envelope and mail ot to her. I think she thinks in serious haha.

I'm having my first baby, just took two pregnancy tests and I'm terrified. What should I expect during the Pl regnancy or birth? Any advice?

Imma do a gender reveal later on in my pregnancy and what helps me not tell ppl is by giving the baby a gender neutral nickname. Like my daughter gave the baby the name peanut so i jus call it that instead of he or she

I'm about to have my 3rd as well and I didn't find out what the gender is. I'm 19 days away from my due date and I still don't know what I'm having. My 1st was a girl and my 2nd was a boy, so I had no desire to find out because I kept all of their baby clothes. It was harder for my husband not knowing than it was for me. The only advice I really have for not finding out is tell your ob/gyn at the beginning of every appointment that you don't want to know the sex no matter what and especially stress that you don't want to know before an ultrasound. Congratulations on your little one and I pray that this little one will come into the world healthy and strong.

Yeah i think it would be easier if i already had 1 of each. But i have no baby clothes left over. I think it will be hard for me because everyone around me is going to want to know my husband wants to know really bad. But i will definitely stress the situation. Thank you
You're welcome
