Did you find out for your baby before it was born? Did you have more than one and find out for all of them, some of them or none of them? What made you decide to find out? Did you tell everyone else after you found out (if you did)?

I found out with each of my 3. Hubby didn't want to know the last one so it was so hard not to tell him. I had a feeling I knew what the sex was for each one before they told me and I was right all 3 times. I always thought I wanted it to be a surprise, but when it came right down to it, I couldn't wait. If someone asked me if I knew the sex and they wanted to know, I told them (except for the last one).

I couldn't wait to find out the first time.  We went with the thought of, it will still be a surprise when we find out, just a different time.

The second one, I wanted to be surprised at birth since it was going to be our last.  My hubby wanted to find out as soon as we could.  He won.  He was way more adamant than I was about not finding out.

Both times, we were on our cell phones the second we got out to call the grandparents and other family and friends.

For the first pregnancy we both wanted it to be a surprise (although we both had a feeling it was a boy..and were right )  but with Baby #2 on the way, and our very curious 4 year old boy wondering too.. we want to find out the sex of this baby so that we can tell him if he's going to have a brother or sister!  Can't wait!  LOL  just have to wait til Dec 20th to find out!!

Well, my first one I met when she was 2 years old, so I knew she was a girl!  

My second (1st pregnancy), I did not find out, I wanted it to be a surprise, a friend of mine once said that this is the best surprise you could ever have in your life.  On that note, I decided not to find out, everytime I thought of finding out I thought of her wise advice and I was so happy I listened.  I had the feeling the whole time that it was a boy, no idea why.  I didn't buy any pink at all, I was convinced that it was a boy.  When she came out I was shocked!  We were all shocked, it was truly the best surprise of my life!  Ohh, I'm gonna start crying all over again.

Yeah, we found out for both of them. We couldn't wait. When they told me Anna was a girl, I wasn't surprised at all (I come from a very large family where everyone has girls), but when I was pregnant with my son and they told me a boy, I was in shock! My mother had three girls. Her sister had three girls. Her brother had three girls (and the only boy) so we were just so surprised. Now that we have one of each, we always said if we have another one, we want to be surprised, but I don't know if I'd make it. Knowing they can tell you in that 5th month is too hard to pass up. Plus, my babies are delivered via c-section and honestly -- the surprise wouldn't make much difference when you're all drugged up on a cold metal table, not caring about too much. If I was going through real labor and pushing, maybe I'd wait because I'd want something like that to look forward to.

When we got pregnant with our first we decided that we did not want to know with our first but with our second, third, etc, we would find out.  We let our first be a surprise and it was great!  Everyone was guessing and doing all these crazy things (old wives tales) to tell us and 90% of people said we would have a girl, and it was a boy!  It was the best surprise in the world!  Right then we decided we did not want to know when we had other children. with our second it was not doubt we would not find out, because as an above post said, it is the greatest surprise in the world!  My hubby and i really did think we were having a girl this time. All the old wives tale said so, the chinease calendar said so, and my pregnancy was completely different.  AND we had another boy!  It was a wonderful surprise.  Sure I would have loved a girl but it really did not matter as long as the baby was healthy.  Sooo we have two boys that we never found out the sex before the day they were born.  I'm done having children but if I were'nt I'd still not find out, because in this life there are not enough good surprises and the day you give birth to a beuatiful baby, I just don't think it matters boy or girl and it is the best feeling in the world with they tell you what it is after all the trials of labor and delivery, the world just stands still for one quick moment!

If Ultrasounds revealed for my Docs I never knew  My Dr for Eldest INSISTED she was He !! up till moment of birth while I Insisted She was girl .. I was obviously right there I shoulda some cold hard cash lol .. For second I carried SOOO differant!! Whole Pg experience SOOOO Diff I named Sammi Jr and  even when round 4 mths along my elldest SWORE she was having a baby sister God told her and I was wrong I just wouldnt believe my sweet Sammi was ANYTHING but a Samual lol .. Man I was SOOOOO SNOCKED   at her birth   I Demanded to know WHO Cut off the penis !!! ROFL now .. Took me a few moments   to  accept I had another dear daughter  but Ive never regretted  raising my two girls .. Now Ive 2 grandsons  and Sams first ultrasound wrong Granny right Second I just felt like boy  this one  in te ovan   Ultra SAYS girl  but Im waiting   before I believe it lol Love em all anywho

We found out both times.  I was experiencing everything so finfing out the sex was DH choice 100%- He decided he couldn't wait.   With Nolan I swear he walked out of the Dr. with his chest puffed out  I cried with Meg and went out and bought a dress 

We did not find out with Emma or Timothy, and I'm glad.  It was so much fun to be surprised at birth.  I did actually have a very strong feeling with both, and was right both times.  This time around we are still debating.  It would be kind of nice planning-wise (one of the kids will have a new roommated and it would be nice to have things figured out beforehand) but at the same time I really liked waiting.  I also know that ultrasounds, as useful and awesome as they are, are not always accurate on that.  First, they can't always tell (my brother and sil desparately wanted to know with my niece, but she was very shy and modest and wouldn't give them a look).  I also have a friend who was pg with baby 4 (their last one).  They had 3 boys, and she was told it was definitely a girl.  She was SO excited to be having a girl!  Then at birth the dr said "It's a boy!"  The room got silent and she said "Why would you say that?  That's not funny!!!!!"  She couldn't believe that it was another boy.  Granted, she loves him just as much, but it was a shock and an adjustment.  So, the jury is still out for now.

"I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.  For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth." -Psalm 57:9-11.

We found out, I couldn't wait and have to much a planner type personality.  Of course, we told everyone and DH proudly showed the ultrasound picture.

I think it is cool to keep it a surprise, but for me I liked knowing and plan to find out when (if) #2 rolls around.  I did not feel like I missed out on anything, it was still an amazing miracle to hold my little guy and that wouldn't have changed if I didn't know the sex.

Yes I wanted to know the sex of my kids before they were born. I dont like the unknown. Once I did find out I told people.

We decided not to find out, but at my ultrasound with Savannah, when they were measuring her femur, I could tell there wasn't anything 'extra', so I said something to DH.  He then asked and sure enough she was a girl.  As for Miss Shelby, she was so beyond stubborn during ultrasounds.  She wouldn't hold still long enough to get the pictures they needed let alone to show us what she was, so we were surprised with her.  (Between the 2 of us we already had 4 girls, so we kinda figured she was going to be a girl.)

we had to find out with both had to know what kinda clothes to buy and the gender neutral stuff sucked(not into yellow or orange) hehe. with simon he refused to show us till around 34 weeks we had 3 or 4 ultrasounds before we found out. with this one we found out the very first ultrasound hes not modest at all now to rebuy all the baby clothes again, gave most the stuff i had away didnt have room for it =/. both times we were hoping for a girl since neither set of grandparents had a girl grandbaby yet when were were preggo with simon now the inlaws have a that was born right before simon but my parents wont be having a girl grand baby since this is our last oh well. hmm now to come up with a name =/

We didn't find out with my 1st or 3rd.  but we did with 2nd.  I loved not knowing.
