Am I in the minority.....

That DH and I don't want to find out if Baby is a boy or girl?!?!?

Why are you finding out??--- just curious....
Why aren't you finding out?

hordol · September 2013

I think there are lots of people that don't want to find out. DH and I are finding out because we have a medical issue that will affect the baby more if it's a girl, so we are finding out so I can get treated properly.

Even if there wasn't a health issue involved, I would still probably find out. Because...why not? We don't feel passionately about surprises or avoiding gender specific things, so we would probably find out anyway.

We wanted to find out because I'm a planner and want to do a nursery while I'm pregnant to keep me occupied. I'm not a huge fan of nuetral nurseries so that's basically why. Plus I'll have a RCS most likely and for some reason I feel like it won't seem as special finding out that way. I am sure it will for others but it's just not for me.

I don't want to find out and Boyfriend wants to find out. It's still early and we will see when we get there.

We both want to find out. For some odd reason we're both convinced that it's a boy and we wanna if we're right sooner than later. My bf is going to find out at the anatomy scan but I won't find out until the shower my sisters are throwing

There was a whole thread on this yesterday! The board seems fairly split, there's a lot more ladies who are not finding out then I would have expected!

I think there are posts about find out/not finding out every day. There is also a Team Green check in once a week. I just can't remember what day its on.

We want to find out because this is our first, possibly only, and I just want to be ready! It maybe selfish, but I want to have all the cute clothes for him or her, nursery decorations (which will probably be gender neutral anyway...) and just general preparedness!

We want to find out so we can pick a name and call our child by that name now. I think it will help me bond more personally.

SIR12 · September 2013

The greatest moment for me was hearing it's a boy after a long tiring labour it was awesome. I can't wait for that moment again!

NJPita22 · September 2013

Omg I couldn't handle not knowing!!! Plus I love being able to shop for pink or blue and it's so much easier to pick a name. (Just my personal opinion) plus I'm so excited I just can't wait much longer and I already have 6 weeks to wait!!! Should be 10 but were paying to find out early

DH is a physician and has attended many births. The most memorable and exciting ones were when the parents didn't know the gender. Considering it can be one of life's only true surprises, we let it be just that.

cczp8211 · September 2013

We are going to find out just because we are too impatient to wait. It's our first so we don't really care which it is. However, when we find out we won't be telling anyone else. We have already decided to stick to gender neutral things so we won't have to go out and buy news things with the next baby. So no one needs to know before the shower.

Mandyw75 · September 2013

I'm finding out because either way it is a surprise to me but just an earlier one. I also cannot stand green or yellow. Nursery will probably be browns and tans either way..

homediva · September 2013

We won't find out! I just posted Our Te Green check in, you should all join in! Every Tuesday! : )

Kelseyl34 · September 2013

I want to be prepared! And I think we are having enough excitement on the day of delivery without adding sex in the mix!

snowclouds · September 2013

We're finding out. I like to be prepared and I don't want a bunch of unisex clothing. Also, buying dresses for girls and boy stuff for boys once they're born in exhausting and usually the last thing you want to do. With K, I found that I really didn't start prepping his room or preparing until we got that, "It's a boy!" for the u/s tech.

Kumori · September 2013

My bf and I are going to find out, but keep it to ourselves. We both don't like gender-specific items so everyone wont find out until after the delivery.
