It is still a surprise no matter when you find out. And since my husband wants to know sooner and I don't mind either way, we will find out at the anatomy scan.
I am a crafty person so I want to know so I can crochet, knit, etc. blankets, hats, and so on as well as have the nursery ready before baby arrives. Plus crocheting and knitting help me wait more patiently at doctor appointments.
I skewed the votes by voting Team Green since there was no special snowflake option. So that one vote is totally not legit, I just wanted to see the results.
I'm a STM, but was Team Green last time so I don't count in this thread. Waiting was no issue at all. But DH said he wanted to find out this time so I figure why not. If the kid shows the goods at the a/s we'll know then. If not, we'll find out at the birth.

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
We're undecided...need a SS option! We already have a boy & a girl (found out sexes very early last time) so we're "prepared" either way. I want it to be a surprise this time. Hubs doesn't do well waiting for surprises so he says he NEEDS to find out ASAP. So, still battling it out over here.
We found out at the a/s last time. This time we will find out again, but will wait to do a "cheesy" reveal with DD, friends & family. This will be our last LO, so we want there to be a little excitement in finding out. But I could never wait until delivery.
We have 2 boys, this is going to be our last and we are def finding out.
I am anxious about other people's reactions when I inevitably tell them it's another boy- I feel like people are going to be disappointed for me, but 3 boys is a-okay with us.
But I didn't want to find out last time and DH couldn't live without knowing... It was more important for him to find out than me not. So at 20 weeks we found out.
So this time around we're not sure. I still want the surprise at the end... But well see

Last time I talked my husband into buying the package at the 3d/4d place in town that has you go in early (I think like 16 weeks) to find out gender then go back at about 30 weeks to get all the cute pics. My ob says that their a/s ultrasound is 3d so I think we will pass on spending money to find out early since we are already going to have a 3d ultrasound. It will drive me crazy because I am a major planner.
We found out last time and were very excited about knowing.This time DH brought up not finding out but then a few days later said he wants to know. We will most likely book a 3D.
We would like to know but it all depends on if LO cooperates or not. We did a viability u/s last week and well do the a/s, but want to keep things to just those two. If LO keeps those lets crossed or we can't get a good view I'll be waiting... Which will be agony. I loved being able to call DS by name after the a/s.

My husband never wants to find out and I always do. We did it my way the first two times, and now I feel it's only fair that he gets to experience "his way" at least once. It's going to drive me nuts but I'm really going to try for him. I love finding out, maybe I will love being team green too. Let you know in March
Aww not included was team green last time around loved it the only person who cared was my father in law--- this time I was going back and forth and am leaning towards team green again--- most people are surprised because I have a type A personality but I really had no trouble not knowing and it did not help me plan any less --- and now I feel like I am completely prepared for this baby since I have everything gender neutral and bought a few newborn outfits of each sex so I have them until I can go shopping
I think there needs to be an undecided option. MH really wanted to know last time and I didn't. I ended up giving in to him on the condition that we don't find out with the next one (this one). I still think it would be cool to be team green, but I also kind of want to know this time.
I am undecided if I want to find out. DoI squee and buy the cute frilly things or do I bbreathe huge sigh of relief and recycle? Or wait till birth to do that.
We found out last pregnancy because I really wanted to know. This time around we will go with my husband's preference and not find out until the big day.
When I was pregnant with my son I didn't find out only because the hospital wouldn't tell me. Lol.
When I was pregnant with my daughter, for my ultrasound, I went to the only hospital in my area that would still tell you. They said it was 'probably' a girl. Lol, good thing they were right.
Now all of the hospitals in my area have stopped doing that. So we are going to a private ultrasound place to do gender determination after 17 weeks.
