Not finding out gender

Kayla
Is there anyone not finding out the sex of their baby? I feel all alone and people seem so judgemental about our decision to let the gender be a surprise.

It's your baby, it's your decision. Don't let others take away from the delight you feel about waiting to find out the sex until birth. We are TTC, and if we do get pregnant, we will be waiting until birth, also. My husband feels very strongly about not placing gender expectations on a child who isn't even born yet. That will carry over to their childhood, as well. We will keep the colors and toys neutral as much as possible during babyhood, but if we happen to see something or be given something gender-specific that we really like, we'll go with it. We just don't want to force the whole girly pink or boyish blue thing, especially before the kid is even breathing its own air.

Yes! We don't know the gender now en will wait until birth (27 weeks on Tuesday). I love not knowing! 😍 Not only is it fun to speculate and it saves money (I would probably buy way to much and now I can get crazy after birth - online off course) People don't understand our decision because everyone is curious and (strangely) assumes that we are not (first question: "Aren't you curious").. Uhm.. Off course we are πŸ€” we are having a baby hello! But I always tell them it's like opening your Christmas present in July. It still wil be a surprise, you still like your present and the value is the same, but the magic of Christmas morning is not there. I can't wait for that special moment after birth knowing it's a boy or girl. ❀️ So good for you! Congrats and enjoy every single second of your pregnancy!

I want to wait. I think people place way too much importance on the gender. I am just happy to have a healthy baby. Also, I don't want to be bombarded with a load of pink and blue stuff. To each their own, but that is definitely not for me. 😊

I found out... I'm way too impatient to wait. I want to be able to buy things for baby and I think buying every single thing gender neutral is not that easy, so it's a preparation thing for me. I think that's awesome that you're waiting, and it's your decision so do what you want to do!!

yea I just always felt like the gender neutral options were slim, when I had my son anyway. but I'm not gonna lie I don't like pink frilly girly stuff for girls... I'm guilty of that lol. but whatever works best for you, that's all that matters!! congrats and good luck :)

thanks! I thought it would be hard at first but it's been pretty easy over my opinion ☺

Ours was uncooperative at the 20 week scan, so we hopped on team green after that. We are having fun wondering which it is and can't wait for the big surprise when he or she gets here. People will ALWAYS have an opinion no matter what you choose in any aspect of pregnancy or parenting. Just do what you want and try your best to ignore others opinions.

We're not! Either way I'm doing colors in greens, teals, and blues, so that's not an issue. I can't stand the baby blue and baby pinks!Pregnant immediately after a miscarriage - so my only focus is a healthy baby, and I don't really care what that baby is.People are mad, but they'll find out in 6 months and get over it! :) Have 2 beautiful names picked, having 2 beautiful baby showers, and life will be great.

We don't want to find out before birth. I just finished doing my baby shower register with neutral gender. I never liked pinky things for girl (I kinda hate this color) but I love everything which is blue or green. I just want a healthy baby after losing our first one (MC).

My husbands brother and his wife didn't. We personally wanted to know the gender. Plus the ultrasound tech showed us without us telling her if we wanted to know or not.

We are waiting and are in exactly the same boat as you. Everyone gets frustrated and annoyed at us for not finding out! I love the surprise coming and we are so excited that in 12 weeks a little "somebody" no matter what gender will be coming to live with us. 😍😍
