Would you?

If you had the chance to find out the gender of your baby would you have wanted to know?

Why?

    Yes I would because I think that it would help with the pain and so I could give him/her a name!

    Personally, no.  The only reason why is b/c right now, I really have preference.  I know if successful I would be happy either way, boy or girl.  But, it would have been more difficult for me emotionally if I knew I had lost my preference.  That is just where I am at now.

    This.

    My 1st I really didn't think much about the gender.  The 2nd I always felt it was going to be a boy.

    My bf was convinced we were having a girl.  He said he felt a disturbance in the force.  We named the baby Layla, even though we didn't know her sex for certain.  To me... it doesn't matter if she was a girl or boy... in my heart (especially after we lost her) I identified her as a girl and now she is gone.  So to us... she was Layla and we lost her.  My remembrance necklace came today.  It is beautiful... and fitting... with her name stamped on it... but having it to hold and wear brings tears to my eyes... I cannot fathom the emotions I'm feeling right now.  They are too complex.

    I wanted to find out but they were not able to tell without sending from chromosome testing and since this is my first m/c we opted not to. I wanted to be able to give the baby a gender specific name.

    Part of me really doesn't want to know. But the curious/impatient/anxious part of me wants to know. And I think that part is bigger. I know it will be a sad day when we get the results and find out the gender, but I think I will always wonder if don't find out.

    Good luck with whatever you decide.

    Yes! Makes it more personal and real to me and everyone else. We are operating under the assumption that it was a little boy based on heart rate at the 8wk appt. So hes got a name.

    Absolutely.  I think being able to name the baby would've been special for DH and I.
