So...will you be finding out the gender?

[starshine1001]

We're on the fence with this one. We've found out for the other two, but we're thinking we're due for a surprise.

I definitely want to find out the sex of the baby! I am so impatient...it is going to make me crazy waiting until 18-22 weeks for the ultrasound!

I see the fun in waiting as well but I just have to know

We definitely will be. I can't imagine not knowing!

[Pinoikoi]

I am thinking I want a surprise, but not sure if I can wait it out. 9 months is a LONG time.

[Grace24]

I want to know! As soon as possible! Has anyone heard of Intelligender? Some over-the-counter test for gender, but my friend told me it was a scam. If it isn't I could find out at 10 weeks!

[Fujiko]

I want to know, because if it's a boy we need to get boy clothes. If it IS a boy and we get pregnant again, I probably will want to wait and be surprised, since we'll be prepared for both.

I wonder how people that don't already have clothes for both manage to wait? Because we don't just go to the store and buy clothes; I pretty much only buy used for baby clothes, and there are only a few consignment sales a year. I suppose if you wanted to pay full retail price for a baby's wardrobe that would work.

I don't wait. I buy gn.

[Mommy2Austin]

Probably going to find out. I have my hopes up for a girl, but if its another boy I want time to get my feelings figured out before the baby arrives. I don't want to start my relationship with baby just coming out feeling like "Not another boy!"

Of course now that I've said that they won't be able to see the gender on the scan :P

[annettemarie]

Not sure. I'm probably going to have a scan this time because my last baby was 2 and a half weeks late and everyone was freaking out. Then when he was born, my midwife said he didn't look late at all. All my babies end up having two weeks added to my due date, so shrug. But I don't know if I'll do the scan early on or wait until midway through.

[flavorfull1]

e will find out, I feel like I am the type that it will help with making this person even more real to me. I don't care either way, I just want to know!

[tygrss]

I definitely want to find out. I'm too nosey not to. :

We didn't find out with my first two and it was no problem. I bought all gender neutral things because I personally don't care for all pink or all blue....which was an even better reason not to find out - so all the gifts wouldn't be one way or the other! We always knew we'd have more than one, so the clothes could be saved and used again either way.

With all that said, I think I do want to find out this time! We've had 2 surprises, which was wonderful, but now I may be ready to know...my dh will take some working on though

[starshine1001]

Having two boys already, I really want a girl. I'm not sure if finding out would allow us time to "come to grips" with another boy like Mommy2Austin, or if just waiting would be better...because when you push that baby out, NOTHING could make you disappointed! At least I think...

[Willowrose]

We'll definitely be finding out. With this being baby #5, I want things as prepared in advance as possible. I will not be doing any shopping once the baby arrives!

[feministmom]

We will be finding out. I am okay with either gender, but I want to be prepared. As DH points out, it's a surprise even if you find out at 20 weeks!

Same here. I think it is a surprise at either time. I mainly want to find out so I can help prepare my DS and DD for the new baby. I think it will help if they know if they are having a brother or sister.

[moondiapers]

I want to know so I can start knitting in color, lol. I also want to know if I can knit ruffles.

[jul511riv]

Oh man, I used to think that after one dd and one ds (which is what we've B"H got) I wouldn't need to find out anything...but already I just can't wait to know. B"H all will be well with this pregnancy and yes, I think I'd like to know just as soon as I can. Gives us more time to fight about the name!

[FertileMertel]

We will be finding out b/c I can't take the suspense! With my last pregnancy, I was so sure that I was having a girl and so was my husband. So in my mind, I had been playing out what my little girl would be like, look like, how her room would be decorated, etc. I was very shocked (and ashamed at my disappointment) when we found out I was having a boy. It took some getting used to, but then I loved the thought of a boy, and I am so happy I have a little boy. I was glad we found out ahead of time so I could bond with my son before he was born. I would have hated to have been even slightly disappointed or shocked if we hadn't found out athe sex before hand and then baby was not what we had expected.

As it was, when my son was born, I could not have been more greatful for my dear sweet boy!
