2nd Trimester

Opinionated people about not finding out gender

Some People, family included are extremely opionated about the fact that we aren't finding out babies sex. Husband and I both want to wait for many reasons, we have expressed these reasons to whoever asks but still get annoying texts and comments about how they want to know. We are only in week 19 and go or the ultrasound next week. How do we get people to just shut up about it?  Can you tell it's starting to get annoying already! I'm trying to be very patient but people need to back off.

  • This was a friend of mine before her a/s too. Everyone was harassing her on FB and at work, it was ridiculous. Then she had her a/s and they baby didn't cooperate anyways! So they wouldn't know even if they wanted to! It ended up working out perfectly

  • We didn't find out with our son and we aren't again. We liked it! It was wonderful to find out when he arrived.

  • We were team green for our first two and we didn't get too much of that. We got a lot of "Oh my gosh! How can you wait? How can you stand it? I could never do that..." But nobody ever really gave us a hard time about it.

  • Honestly, after the first couple times, I would probably stop being polite and tell them your baby, your way, get used to it.  If it helps shut them up, you could always say after the a/s that the baby wasn't cooperative anyways so it was a good thin

  • We know, but we're not telling.  And we haven't even come out and told anyone that we know other than my parents and 2 friends who have all been sworn to secrecy.  My husband has an aunt that just won't shut up about it.  To the point of

  • When people ask me, "Do you know what you are having?", I respond, "Yes, a human."  Then they look confused and can tell I'm not pleased with them and back off. Sadly, I don't have a good comment for, "are you having a boy or a girl", but most peo

  • My Husband and I aren't finding out either. I think you rarely get surprised in life- and what an awesome one! We tell people that give us a hard time jokingly that they should join the pool for betting the sex- have them guess. It makes it fun and we
