Thoughts about being Surprised for the sex of baby?

Question

I'm pregnant with my 3rd baby, I already have an 8 year old girl and 1 1/2 year old Boy, thinking about not finding out what this next baby will be but I don't know if I could do it! Has anyone on here been that brave? If so, how did you manage? With being prepared and all!

Answer

This is our first and we didn't find out. I'm a planner and hate surprises, but not knowing really hasn't bothered me. I'm 40+5 today and I'm excited to have that moment in the delivery room! It gives me something to look forward to during labor and delivery. Since it is our first, I wanted to buy more gender neutral stuff anyway so we can use it with our second. It really hasn't been too hard to find stuff. Plus, since we didn't know the gender, we got more useful things at our shower because people didn't buy us a million outfits that the baby would only wear once. We have found enough gender neutral clothing  to start out and then we can buy more clothing once we know the gender and see what sizes we need. I'm really glad we are going to be surprised. :)

Answer

This is my first and i must be odd cos I really don't want to know the sex, I'm scared that during a scan the tech might accidentally let the sex of bub slip out. I'd be devastated. I want my partner to tell me the sex once bub is born.

Answer

I'm onto my 7th child and was going to do this. But my lil man had other ideas and gave me a leggy at 16 weeks lol. So it was quite obvious

Answer

I'd love to have a boy and a girl and then not find out! I don't know if I could ever do it though. I don't really like surprises.

Answer

This is my 2nd and last baby. My hubby doesn't want us to find out. It's going to be very hard for the control freak inside me but the more I think about it the more exciting it becomes. I want a natural labor this time around and think it will be much sweeter in the end.

Answer

I didn't find out with my first and haven't found out this time. I loved my husband telling me at the birth 'it's a boy!' This time it's been harder not knowing as I feel the need to be more organised but I just keep thinking of that moment. 
I found only had to say 'I don't want to know' at 2 scans and then I couldn't find out!

Answer

My Sister in Law said she wants to plan a small Gender Reveal party, which can still be a surprise to us, but somehow it won't compare to that joyous moment in the delivery room, so I'm still thinking about it 🤔

Answer

I would have liked the suprise but this being our rainbow baby, we've decided no suprises this time round.
