| To find out or not to find out that is the question...
Everyone keeps asking me if I'm going to find out the sex of my LO before it's born. And before they all started asking I didn't think about it at all - I thought it was obvious - yes why not?
But apparently it's not that simple, apparently I could be missing out on one of life's bigest surprises. So now I'm just confused.
So I thought I'd post a poll (I'm sure you've probably had one of these before) to see what everyone is planning on doing.
Do you want to know if you're supporting team Pink or Blue, or are you happy to support Cream until further notice? lol. | | | | Status: Offline

| We aren't going to find out the sex of the baby. It's just one of those things that is personal preference. Everyone is different, so just go with the choice that makes you happy - it doesn't matter one jot what other people think.
Good luck!! | | | | Status: Offline

| I really want to know, but everytime I tell anyone they look at me like I've suggested human sacrifice. It will still be a surprise when I go for my scan, and as Becki said it will still be the first tim I met him/her.
It's nice to know lots of people who actually are pregnant feel the same way.
I also think it will be nice to be able to say 'he' or 'she' instead of it- will make the LO seem more human and make the whole experience more real. | | | | Status: Offline

| I am going to strangle the doctor if she doesn't tell me the gender at my next ultrasound! I honestly can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl... I want to color coordinate the nursery based on the gender, and it's kind of hard to do that when I don't have a clue.
I guess I'm just the impatient type. I want to know, and I want to know NOW! | | | | Status: Offline
