Find out or not?

Question

I go next Wednesday for my 2nd ultrasound. I will be 20 weeks and 3 days then, and should be able to find out the gender. My boyfriend originally had said he didnt want to know, but I was adamant about finding out. He decided to compromise with me and said we could find out. But I know how badly he wants to wait. As the appointment gets closer, I'm starting to have second thoughts about knowing.

Tell me, did you find out or not? Did you and your partner agree on it? Did finding out make it easier or does it really matter?

Answer

My husband found out what we were having this time around and I closed my eyes. That night we went to dinner with our families and he had bought me a gift to reveal the gender. Had our son walk in with green and blue balloons. I asked him "it's another boy isn't it!" Instantly he goes "yes but I got you a present since you wanted a girl so bad" opened up the box and I'll be damned we are having a baby girl. Maybe turn it into something fun like that? I couldn't not know. I'm a FREAK about decorating and buying for the gender haha!

Answer

We found out with both children because it makes it so much easier for shopping. For some reason there really isn't much out there for gender neutral clothing. Plus we really wanted to call our kids by a name even in the womb. I hated saying "the baby" or "it" it's so much easier saying their names lmao

Answer

My husband didnt want to know until our baby was born. I wanted to know toknow what to buy, but once we were there the doc asked i turned to him to let him answer and he said yes ! I asked him if he was sure and said yes again. When leaving the doc office i asked him why he said yes. He told me once i was there i wanted to know. Hopefully its the same with yours

Answer

Before we got pregnant we never wanted to find out, as it come up to our 18-20 week scan we really wanted to find out!! We decided to go there and just see what happened. We had the scan and was so excited to see our baby and see that everything was in working order and was perfect that we walked out and didn't even have a second thought about finding out the gender! We are both happy with not knowing but at the end of the day it's each persons choice :)

Answer

Before we even got pregnant, my husband said he wouldn't want to find out the gender. When we got pregmant, though, he was on the fence for a little while. When it came time for it, though, we both agreed we'd like to keep it a surprise for the birth. We both looked away for that part of the scan. He is excited to be able to come out of the delivery room and reveal the gender to our family -- and I want the surprise as an added incentive to get through labor and work that much harder for our baby. I have a strong feeling it's a girl, so it will be fun to see if I have been right or wrong this whole time. :)
