Who wants to find out the sex?

MrsP · Mar 6th, 2008, 15:41 PM

This is my first baby so all very new to me. My bestfriend is also pregnant, she is 4 months in front of me. She recently found out the sex of her baby, at this time I didn't know I was pg.

I said I don't think I'd want to know and that I thought it would spoil the suprise, but know I'm not too sure. In fact I am dying to know what the sex of the baby is.

Just wondering how you feel about this? x x

I didnt want to know with my first - that said I was convinced from the get go she was a girl. Didnt even have a boys name picked out!!

Both my hubby and I really want a boy this time. Yes we will just be happy with a healthy baby or either gender but if we're being honest we really want a boy. So.......people may find this a controversial thing to admit.....we want to find out now because if its a girl, we will be slightly disappointed - just being honest - so I'd rather be disappointed for like 5 seconds now and then start getting excited about having a girl rather than have that 5 seconds of disappointment at the birth.

Sorry if anyone thinks I'm a total

but thats my reason.

Well thats fair enough to say! Like you say you are only being honest.

Something tells me mine is a girl don't know why, maybe a mothers intuition, I'm not sure.

I would really like to know but I would also like a suprise.

I just wanted to know. No reason really. OH really wanted a boy but I wasn't bothered. I think it's a suprise whether it's at the 20 week scan or at the birth.

I definitely want to know.I am all up for surprises,they're great but not for me...At 15 weeks,I can start with shopping

But I do feel that it's a girl...

I found out because I like to be prepared ! I am also quite impatient and because I knew we could find out it was too tempting

Mother's instinct tells me this baby is a girl

I will be having the gender confirmed too! Years ago I gave away all my baby stuff, both boy and girl things. If I have to go and buy all over again, I want to know the gender!

I was all geared up for finding out what Grace (DD) was going to be at the 20 week scan...only to discover she had her legs crossed so I did not find out....it was my DH that wanted to find out more than me....
So when she eventually appeared I was so ecstatic!!! My family (inc in-laws) actually had bets on the sex/weight and date.. lol

I had an emergency section with Grace and all I remember is this Australlian Asian surgeon saying 'Catherine...you have a beautiful baby girl'......I will never forget that!!!!

I loved the suprise that much that I am not going to find out what this one is either........
