2nd Trimester

Anyone not going to find out their baby's sex?

Hubby and I have decided to wait till the birth to find out but most friends and family are shocked when we tell them.  Anyone else not finding out and getting surprising reactions from others?

Re: Anyone not going to find out their baby's sex?

  • I am finding out this time but was team green with the first two. People thought we were nuts, yes. It was awesome though.

  • We found out with both our girls but don't plan on finding out this time. We haven't gotten any negative reactions.

    The reactions from people range from "Oh, I could never not find out" to something more like "You're trying to torture me by not finding out."

  • This is our first and we are not finding out.  My MIL will make comments like "there isn't a lot of gender neutral outfits" and will say things to make me feel like she wants us to change our minds.  My sister and sister in law did not find out
  • Team green here too! We get the same reactions. People are actually making bets on what it will be, when it will come and how big it will be because my daughter was over 9lbs.

    We found out the first time. It just more exciting not to find out. Pl

  • We didn't find out last time and won't this time either. We got a lot of "How can you stand it?" and "But I NEED to know!" from people.

    I think it's more fun this way, because the suspense builds for twice as long. I'm dying to know, but I know I

  • We didn't find out for the first two but found out with this one. It drove our families insane that we didn't find out. We obviously did not care :)

  • Team Green here for the second time! It was really fun the first time, but we got a lot of push back. This time people have been really supportive.

  • This is my first pregnancy and I was thinking at first that I was going to find out the sex of the baby, but now I am really leaning towards not knowing. People really do give me funny looks when I say I probably am going to let it be a surprise. They

  • This is what we're doing but we haven't announced it yet. We want to avoid telling since my SIL got nagged into finding out.

  • We were team green with my first son when I was 20. The ultrasound tech flipped out on me, saying everyone my age wants to know.
    Now we are team green again, we weren't with the 2nd baby and it wasn't as fun. I have a friend who hates it, it kind o

  • When I tell people we are waiting most people say the would need to know. I understand why people would want to know, but I'm super excited for the surprise!

  • It's so funny that people get such different reactions, and have different expectations! I'm totally cool with TEAM GREEN folks, but I MUST KNOW...lol  Even the third time, I gotta know!   And people look at me like I'm crazy..."oh, my daught

  • We are not finding out.  Husband is the one who doesn't want to know.  I want to know....but I am saving a lot more money right now since I do not know the gender.  If I knew I would probably be going all out.  I like that I am forc

  • I saw very clearly at my scan the other day when I went in for spotting.

    She wouldn't confirm but after having both a boy and a girl I KNEW lol!!

    I will be beyond shocked if they say different at my scan in 4 weeks.

  • We aren't finding out, either. Twins run in my family, so I would've found out if there was more than one. When we are asked if we will find out and say no, people are largely surprised, but they follow it up with "I think that's really great," or "I d

  • I didn't even think about the money I'd be saving by not knowing!  I've been on Zulily a lot lately and if I knew I what I was having then I'd probably be broke by know ; ).

     

    Thanks everyone for your responses.  Nice to hear

  • Didn't find out with DD and won't find out this time.

  • Team green here as well! Sometimes I'm tempted to find out but DH is adamant that we don't find out for at least our first!

  • We are team green. It's driving my family crazy and I have been having a hard time finding gender neutral clothes I like, but I think it will be worth it.
