I see a lot of people want to know the gender of their babies, but is there anyone else who wants it to be a suprise? I mean when the time comes along.

i don't think i can wait i will want to know the gender ASAP lol so i can go shopping

When I was expecting my daughter, my OH wanted to find out the sex, but I didn't, so we decided not to find out...
When we were in the 20 wk scan, I asked if they could see what the sex was, but not to tell me, I thought if they can see it then its meant to be that I find out...anyway, she had her legs crossed so we never found out until the day she was born.
My lasting memory of meeting my daughter was an Australian Asian surgeon, saying "You have a beautiful baby girl"....I am so glad I never found out and she had her legs crossed!!!!
You have plenty of time to shop for clothes on your maternity leave!!!
I took 2 sets of clothes into hospital with me (pink and blue) then returned the blue once I went shopping etc....

I'm going to find out on the basis that it's going to be a suprise whenever you find out! lol Also I want to think about names and paint the room and buy all the clothes

I think its different with your first Elliana.....whan you have had a child then maybe you have to be more practical....although I aint gonna find out all the same next time, as it was such a great 9 months wait!!!!

Each to their own I suppose!!!

We are not finding out. I had always wanted to wait it out, but once pregnant, was on the fence. I asked my DH to decide, and he wants it to be a surprise. As for decorating, I have decided on painting the room Tiffany Box Blue. That way if it is a girl, then her room is Tiffany Box Blue, and it is a boy, then his room is blue.

lol- good thinking Samantha!!!

I'd rather not find out. Not only because I want it to be a surprise, but also because I want to buy things neutral anyways at first, so I can use them for the next baby. I think it'll be better for my finances.

When I was younger, I wanted it to be a surprise but now I really want to know when I get pregnant. I think, for me, I will feel like I can connect more to the baby as a person and will know how to refer to it while I am pregnant.
