Will you find out the sex? - Page 2

[SunCB]

NO!! I do not want to know. Did not find out with the 1st 2 so why start now though this one is a completely different season if he sticks. Though, both times I was correct at guessing the sex bc I just knew. No feelings which way yet. Hoping for a girl to balance out the power some but would be happy with another boy as we have all the boy stuff already.

I'm planning to find out, as I'm not sure I could stand not knowing...

[Mei Mei]

Yes. I'm wayyy to impatient to wait 'till the birth.

I feel like if its a boy I will really need to mentally focus and be prepared for a long and difficult birth , but if it is a girl I can probably feel more relaxed about the whole thing since girls tend to be smaller.

Don't believe the hype, girl babies can be big too! Of my three births the girls were both over 2 pounds larger than my boy.

We will only find out the gender if there is a real reason for an u/s, which is not likely.

Yes, definitely! I'm a Type A and I would literally go insane if I couldn't plan for a specific gender.

And girls can be whoppers too, my DD was 10lbs, 7 oz!

I am hoping for an 8 pounder this time around. I don't want to be pushed into a repeat c/s for the big baby card.

[Matilda_z]

Sure.

We didn't find out with our first because we wanted a big surprise. It was awesome! :

With our second we wanted to be able to call him his real name as soon as we knew the gender and to introduce him to our DD while in utero, that was very important to us. I felt that I knew him a bit more during the pregnancy, knowing his gender and calling him by his name. For us, it was a very good decision because William did not live very long and there was no time for surprises at the birth. I am very glad that we decided to find out, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

With the third I want to start calling the baby by name as soon as possible and let DD do the same.

[sundaygirl]

Yup. DH and I are in agreement that the gender will be a surprise whether we find out in utero or not. Plus I'm very impatient and not a fan of surprises in general - and I feel like I need to know as much as possible in advance!

[Yosemite]

We will definitely find out.

I'd demand to know now, if that were possible. But then I'm pretty sure any doctor would run away from the crazy pregnant lady insisting she know right now, who cares if they have no way of knowing this early, I'm not interested in rationality.

I do think knowing the sex will help him connect. And I like that we will be able to start referring to the baby as "he" or "she" (I'm not really comfortable with "it"), and perhaps even by name if we can decide on one before birth.

I was totally almost 10 pounds

I will find out I really want to have a name and things picked out, I hate calling the baby "it" Our nursery is green 'cause thats mamas favourite colour

[CAUCmama]

We probably won't find out because we don't do ultrasounds. We knew with our first, and with our second, I knew she was a girl even though we didn't have any ultrasounds. This time I'm actually very curious even though I have one of each, but I will very likely restrain myself. =)

We'll find out. I wouldn't mind a surprise, but SO really wants to know.
