Peeking in from 2nd Tri... Do you regret...
I was just wondering for any of you who found out the sex of your baby if you regreted it after the little bundle arrived. DH and I have our u/s scheduled for next Wednesday and I am really nervous about finding out the sex. I can't tell if I am nervous because I am afraid we wont be able to find out the sex or because one of us will be disappointed. Weird thing is all we want is a healthy baby. Thanks for your input & sorry to intrude

Re: Peeking in from 2nd Tri... Do you regret...
It's really hard to do, but completely worth it in the end.
That being said I don't think I would have been able to do that with my first two.
Don't regret it at all. I was sooooo wanting a girl and that's obviously not what I got! I was excited either way but will admit I was a little sad it wasn't a girl. He's the best though, and I don't think I'd want it any other way.
I'm a planner and I needed to know for decorating, buying stuff, etc. I wish I could be one of those that can wait but I don't want a bunch of green and yellow crap and I really couldn't not know for that long, it would drive me bananas.
That is really weird, I've never heard of anyone who felt that way before...
No regrets whatsoever.
I didn't regret it at all and was very anxious to find out what we were having. Both of us wanted a girl before the ultrasound and we found out that was what we were having. Then right after the ultrasound DH said "I kinda wanted a boy.." Oh silly men!! Looks like we'll be trying for another!
You could always have them write the sex of the baby in an envelope and then decide later if you want to find out.
No regrets at all. I'm glad we found out. It helped me to start getting to know the little guy growing inside me.
I figure it's a surprise either way -- you can find out at 20 weeks, or you can find out at 40 weeks.
Not at all! I ended up having a c-section and was so out of it from medicaton I hardly knew what was happening. I would have missed out on the excitement of it all...
Besides DH and I made a special day out of it and bought our first boy items. It was so fun!

None whatsoever!
Not able to fully answer your question, but I can address one thing... We did not find out the sex, but DH really wanted a boy. We obviously had a girl. He has told me outright that he is disappointed. At first I was upset. Then I realized that I really don't care. She beautiful, wonderful, healthy and she's mine.
He will come around eventually.
I do not regret it.
Plus I had a girl... .obviously.. haha
and i'm so glad I didn't get a million green yellow and orange things to dress her in!
No regrets! My baby was a boy until someone told me otherwise. (We all girls on both sides:) When the tech told us she was a girl, all we could do was laugh! Boy or girl, it wouldn't matter. As long as she was ours.
Nope, no regrets.
I have a friend who didn't find out, and she was SO sure it was a boy - that when the baby came out and it was a girl, she was so shocked she had a hard time bonding with her at first. She regrets not finding out beforehand.
This exactly! I loved having everything ready. I too was a little disappointed at first that I wasn't having a girl. Now that I have DS, I can't imagine having a girl.
This exactly.
This is so sad, I can't believe after she arrived your DH could claim dissapointment!
