Team Green-ers turned Team PorB come in!

JessBoss · August 2010

We have a morning U/S tomorrow, and DH & I are considering finding out the sexes. (Ok. Mainly me. But helllllo pal. You did this to me, I choose this time! Haha.)

We've been Team Green for our other 3 children, and were planning to do the same with 4 and 5.

My question is this: If you ended up caving and finding out, did you regret it? Obviously it's not that big of deal, but I wonder if I will wish I hadn't later down the road.

I feel like I need to find out to get me through this pregnancy. To look forward to. If that makes sense.

We didnt find out for the first 2, and did this time. I'm glad I did, since I dont have enough boy clothes for 2, or the right season for girls. Plus, it's making it nicer to bond with more than one. And I can call them by name when I'm talking about them, instead of Baby A and B.

We did not find out with DS but did this time. I am so happy that we did! I felt so out-of-control with a multiples pregnancy and "finding out" seemed to be something I could know for sure. I have been able to be a lot more prepared knowing what we are having...and I got to buy girl clothes!! Party!!!

Wow! Look at you with numbers 4 and 5 on the way. I thought our family was crazy! Congratulations

. To answer your question, though: we were team green for both of our older girls and were with the twins until 28 weeks I think. I had an u/s right before Xmas and had the tech write the sexes down and put it into an envelope. Then I wrapped it up and put it into my DH's stocking to open on Christmas morning. He was totally surprised! I gave him the option to open it, even though I really wanted to know. By that point in my pregnancy, it made everything a lot easier to know. We were shocked at two more girls, but it really helped to be able to get their things washed and ready. I'm so glad we found out! There was enough going on in the delivery room when they were born -- I feel like their birth was just as special and the anticipation was just as great --even though we knew their sexes. I hope that helps. Good luck with your pregnancy!

We were team green with our DD and I absolutely loved not knowing! We did everything gender neutral and Winnie the Pooh. I loved hearing DH announce "It's a girl!" at the delivery. When I first got pg we were going to be team green again, but then once we found out it was twins we decided we were going to find out. We wanted to know if we could reuse DDs clothes or if we needed all new stuff. Plus we are done having kids after this and I kinda liked the idea of not having a gender neutral room since they'd be sharing a room for awhile. So we found out. I do love knowing and it's been great since it's two more girls. We'll see what the delivery is like because that was the greatest moment in finding out what DD was. So far I don't regret knowing at all.. it's definitely made preparing for them easier.

If you need to find out to get you through, then just find out. You did the whole team green thing with your first 3. That being said, we were team green with the twins (and this one) and it was the best surprise ever! I loved it! And I think being surprised this time will help me through the c-section because my mind can focus on what we are having. But if I already had 3 team green pregnancies, I might go ahead and find out too.

We were always going to find out, we are just inpatient that way! But once we found out it was twins we REALLY wanted to know. Having twins was surprise enough and I really wanted to be able to plan accordingly. I don't regret it at all. If we have another one we may not find out....but most likely we will. I just can't wait that long!

We were Team Green with our first DD but with the twins we (I... ) just had to know! And I have to say I kinda regret it. Of course all the planning you can do and you don't have to relate to them as 'the babies' but IMO it was way more exciting to hear it being announced in the delivery room after all the waiting and guessing than 'just' at an u/s. Also the name finding was so much easier for us when we were TeamGreen; I don't know why.

Also, you already have had both, boys and a girl, so maybe you already have enough stuff for both sexes...? Just a thought. GL with your decision

I always thought we'd have 3 kids (but with 3 different pg's). We found out the sex with DS1. I wanted DC2 to be a surprise. For DC3 we'd base our decision on our first 2 experiences. We decided to find out the sex of the twins because we thought it would help make some decisions (which it didn't) and I really regret finding out. DH has had a vasectomy and I'm sad that I'll never get to experience the "It's a ______" in the delivery room. I don't know that you'll necessarily regret it, but once you know, you can't ever "unknow".
