Trying to Get Pregnant

Poll: sex of baby

Lurking around the bump I have noticed that most women who are already expecting know what the sex of the baby will be. DH and I have planned to keep it a surprise, at least for the first one. ?I'm just curious if we are the only two people around that don't want to find out the sex of the baby when we are able to conceive.

Re: Poll: sex of baby

  • We knew on accident with DS, and will not find out with this one! With infertility, there are few secrets about conception. I would like to have one!

  • if i have a second child i will try not to find out the sex but i can't stand it with the first, i think i'll have to know!

  • I always thought I wanted to be surprised, but DH says NO WAY and I don't think I could stand it if he knew and I didn't!

    My parents never knew for my sister and I, and I've always thought it's pretty romantic to be surprised

  • I wouldn't want to know but DH does.  So I'm not sure what will happen.
  • We plan on finding out but keeping it just between DH and I until the baby is born.

    That way there will be surprise for our family, but I just couldn't handle not knowing!

    ?

  • We will not find out.
  • We don't want to find out.  I imagine it will drive me crazy to not know, but I love the idea of it being a surprise.  We have quite a few pregnant friends too and only one of them found out, so you're not alone!

  • Glad to know that I'm not all alone in this. ?I knew I wasn't the only other one of the face of the planet (!) but I was just curious about the other ladies on this board.

  • We don't plan to find out either. I like surprises!
  • I don't want to find out when we have our first child, maybe with #2 we will.

  • I love surprises too much, I don't want to know until the delivery room!

  • We plan on keeping it a surprise

  • We aren't finding out. We are going to keep this one a surprise if at all possible. We might continue with future kids, but we're not sure about that yet.

  • I want to find out the sex of the baby but my S.O wants to want until the baby comes out. Boo that. I will find out without him if he doesn't want to know.

  • We will be counting down the days until the Big US.  There is no way we could wait.  We found out with DS and will continue to do so.  To each their own!

  • There is no way we could wait. Everyone in our families would want to know as soon as we went to the doctor to find out!

  • Oh no, I don't have enough self control to wait when I finally do get KU
  • We waited for the surprise. It was so cool finding out in the delivery room!

    I want a surprise, DH wants to know so we'll see what happens when it happens.

    This is how it is for us.  I want to wait, but I'm not in that position yet so maybe I'll change my mind when the time comes.

  • We want to know for sure, we figure it's a surprise whenever you find out and we want to be able to plan ahead and not have all yellow/beige clothing.

  • There are very few times in life that truly allow surprises.  I'm not going to find out.

  • DH would rather it be a surprise but I want to find out.  I'm a planner, so I'd want to know.  We won't tell people the name though until the DC  is born.
  • When it does happen, we are going to try and keep it a surprise too.  Notice I said "try".  We'll have to see if we can stand the suspense.
  • We didn't find out and I'm so glad we didn't. My favorite memory is when my DH said "It's a boy!".

    I ended up with a c/s so I was really upset about it and freaked out and then he said that and it all went away. Awesomeness to the extreme.

    Oh, and I *never* thought I could wait to find out. We even had the u/s tech write it down and seal it in an envelope because I thought I could convince DH to want to know. He never did and I'm glad I waited.

    Love it.

    I've seen more deliveries than I can count, and that "It's a ..." moment is so huge. There are so few surprises in life. We're hoping we can make it so that when we DO finally get our BFN, we'll be team green too. I want that moment in the Delivery Room.
