I have to.be honest I'm struggling with our decision to not find out till birth. We are hoping for a girl, but I'm scared if it comes out a boy u will be sad. This is our last and will not be having more. Family tells me I should find out and so if it is a boy I can 'mourn' not having a girl. I'm not sure I would 'mourn' because I will be happy either way, but it would be nice to have an extra girl in the house!

I am 9 weeks and I am dying to find out what we'll be having. My husband insist on not allowing me to find out till the day of my babyshower.. Meaning he will find out at the time of the U/S but not tell me. I thought it was a cute idea, but I'm dying to start shopping!

My Dh didnt want to find out.. but i really really wanted to know... we had big arguments over that and finally i gave in... finally when i had 20wks scan i ws shocked when he asked himself "what are we having" but he made me promise not to tell any one ...lol... so now only we both know what we are having as our first... but our family do not know a thing.... i m 24wks... for my family they are all guessing lol its fun when they tell us wrong gender... :P

We never found out with our 1st 2 as we wanted to have the surprise and we weren't going to find out this time but I wanted to know what it was like to know as this is our last baby. It turned out it was a good thing we did as we both thought it was another boy and it is actually a girl so we have had to buy everything new again as we have 2 boys. I really liked having the surprise but I am glad we found out this time.
I feel it is all up to you and what you want, just let it be your decision and don't let anyone else influence your decision.
Good Luck and Congrats!! Hope you get a girl this time lol :)

We never found out with our first two..they are girls.  We decided we wanted to find out with our last just in case babe is a boy so we could be a bit more prepared.  Either way it didn't matter...just nice knowing that we are having a boy.

I know.. Well so far Chinese predictor tells me BOY. and I also heard something about the gender of the dreams you have being the opposite in real life. So far i have had two boy dreams and one girl. and the most recent have been boys dreams lol

Lol my hubby is the same! The gender predictors are just for fun, who knows if they actually turn up right! Its still fun to guess until you meet your baby! :)

I am kinda too, Everyone is already guessing. I had my second ultrasound at 10 weeks, and since i live 4000 miles away from my family I sent them all the pictures, I got so many replies stating boy/girl. I am like I am toooo Early to tell, lol. My husband wanted to find out and I didnt. but he said that he would wait to find out to make me happy ( yea i got a keeper) but now he wont even let me do the string and needle test or any of those old wifes predictors. lol He claims if you dont want to find out, then you aint doing these.

I am a first time mom and we are not finding out. I think of it has a suprise gift for us and also its going to be beneficial in the long run. If you buy mutual colors, and then after the baby is born buy cloths here and there for the gender, when your next child comes, you can reuse EVERYTHING!
