CSection/finding out gender

susandnicholssusandnichols member
in C-sections
So DH and I have already agreed not to find out the sex of the next LO. We want to have the moment in the delivery room. Our only problem with this scenario is telling the family which will be on standby in the waiting room. DH doesn't want to leave my side until I'm cleared from recovery (I had an issue regulating my BP last time,) but he doesn't want to just text the family either. Can y'all give me some creative ways for him to tell the family the sex of the baby without having to leave me or text them? Or would y'all just wait until you got to your PP room?

    Baby went with us to Recovery last time. Only reason they went ahead and took her to the nursery was because of my BP bottoming out. I got to nurse in Recovery before issues started. I made it clear beforehand I wanted her with me as much as possible. Hospital even came to our room to give her the first bath. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    We just don't want to make it too impersonal for rest of family.

    I had friends who rather than just text boy or girl.. Sent the name made it a little more personal.

    Why don't you ask them what their preference is? Maybe they would rather get a text than wait a few extra hours. Also I will suggest to not have them wait in the waiting room during your c-section, it will be hours in between when you check in for your c-section and when you will be able to see anyone other than DH, so have them wait at home and call them when you're ready for them to show up

    I would just wait.  We didn't know the sex of our son until he was born either!  It was too fun and exciting!  You won't regret it!

    We sent nurse out when we were ready for them to come in and find out...so they saw for themselves it was great

    If it were me I would wait until they meet him/her.  They can wait to find out until you are all out of recovery in my opinion.  But, we didn't invite our families to the hospital until after the babies were born.
