I'm Currently Feeling: | Boy, girl or surprise!!!!!! I just wondered how many of you are not wanting to know the sex of your baby? Or have waited till dilivery to find out in the past?
Basically i want to know my LO sex when i have my 20wk scan on 16.04.08 but my partner wants it to be kept a surprise and my mum is with him on this. Plus my niece was a surprise and her mum said it was really special, not knowing untill she arrived.
So now i feel all guilty and selfish as my partner said we can find out if thats what i want. But half of me wants to know and half of me doesnt.
What do you think we should do? any advice on surprises? |

| We are going for a surprise as its our first. We agreed this when we were ttc, but now I sort of want to know. For me it would be a bit like opening my Christmas present early - very exciting at the time, but on Christmas day there's nothing to unwrap!
Am secretly hoping he/she will flash us their 'bits' at the 20 week scan on 9th april  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I have two boys.....
First was a surprise... and the second we knew.....
This time round.... we wanted to know, as we weren't actually planning to have anymore, and had gotten rid of everything... so I wanted to get the right stuff from scratch... not greens and yellows....
I went to a private clinic with a top sonographer who can tell at 12 weeks. Alot of private clinics can tell from 12 weeks now. They have more powerful equipment  |
