Dilemma... Should I find out the Gender!?

Question

I am 19wks and have said from day 1 we would wait and be surprised this time! Well It's now starting to make me a little anxious between pregnant friends finding out, baby name discussions with the hubby, and with my anatomy scan coming up...I am wondering if I should just find out, or maybe just have them give us and envelope in case we change our mind...or just stick it out!? What are your thoughts?

Below is my 12 wk ultrasound...there are so many theories - any guesses what you think I'm having?

Answer

I personally can't wait no matter how hard I try but if you can I say go for it! It would be exciting. :)

Answer

I am a little biased at the moment. But I had my anatomy scan four weeks ago and they told me it was "definitely " a girl. Today I had a follow-up scan and it is apparently now "definitely" a boy. I'm now wishing I would have just waited to find out until he/she is born so that I wouldn't have felt disappointed. Because after all my baby either way is healthy and growing fine, so I should feel excited. But I do feel upset because I had already picked a name and painted her nursery. Now I have to decide if I want to trust the latest ultrasound and do it all again. Or if I should wait. 😁😳😳

Answer

If you have them put it in an envelope you know you'll look 😜 have your mind set before you go in! My first baby was a surprise and this one we found out. Both have their benefits. If it's not fun anymore, find out. But waiting is awesome!!! I promise!

Answer

I found out with my first two. We had one of each so we wanted #3 to be a surprise. I wanted to experience the "it's a...." When baby was born. It was fun to experience and fun to tell the news to everyone. I'm glad we did it but we are going to find out at 20 weeks what this one is. I feel like it's easier to plan for and daydream about baby when you know what it is. And choose a name. Either way you can't go wrong. Both ways are great.

Answer

I am not as far as you but this thought is on my head... I found out for my first 3 and my husband did not.. And I like to know but then I think how cool would it be to not know then find out after the finally push.. It would be so exciting.. So I am leaning towards not finding out buuuut not sure if I will be able to
