I’m finding out gender in a month (hopefully) at the anatomy scan. I considered announcing gender when I announced my pregnancy somewhere between 20-25 weeks but decided against it. I still haven’t announced my pregnancy and only immediate family knows (mostly) - some of my immediate family (mainly one person, but my parents) have had a hard time keeping the news to themselves despite the fact that I’ve asked them to keep it quiet for now. They are sweet and I know just excited, they don’t mean anything by it. My sister also is expecting and announced at 13 weeks, so I think it’s hard for them to only talk about the one when there are two to be excited about.

But anyways, my family/parents do know that I’m finding out gender in a month. Originally it wasn’t going to be a secret, but especially as I didn’t even get to announce my pregnancy as I wanted to a lot of people or even be the first to tell them, I kind of want to keep this information private and completely to myself until the baby is born. Is it rude of me to change my mind now and keep it a secret? I was thinking this way we could at least have part where we could be the first to announce and choose to announce as we’d like. I know it doesn’t matter “who’s first” or whatever and it’s just as exciting either way, which is why I guess I feel I might be being a little selfish by withholding this information.
