To find out or not to find out??
That is the question....

For those of you who found out the sex of your unborn baby, did you ever regret finding out??

Hey there, how are you going? No regrets whatsoever. I had a feeling I was having a girl. Before my 20th week aultrasound, every time I would go shopping for baby clothes, I would go to the boys section and used to think it wasnt right. I would then go to the girls section and felt it was right. I already had chosen her name (Renee). When I had my aultrasound, the lady said I was having a girl.. Renee was showing all her morning glory lol!!! So she was 99.9 % sure I was having a girl..I was happy to find out what I was having and never had regretted it one bit.. It allowed me to plan ahead..e.g clothes, bedroom  etc..When I was a young girl, I always loved the name "Renee" and I always was hoping for a girl and I got one... I feel my daughter is extra specail, as she is also an ivf baby.. 

cheers Marie

 I regret not finding out!  Although I had a feeling about the first and last and was right.

First one I didn't care, second Ididn't think to ask because I thought that the way for the world was you have a boy and then a girl pmsl (I was wrong - it was another boy), third I was too freaked out by the tech who did the ultrasound saying that the base of the spine hadn't formed that I forgot to ask. 

It makes it easier to shop for the new baby I think - you might 'feel' like it's a boy and buy all blue and it ends up being a girl.  But even the ultrasound can be wrong - my SIL had a friend with 4 boys, was told that number 5 was 100% a girl - it was another boy.

You are correct. It makes it so much easier when you find out if its girl or boy.. Yes the aultrasound person can be wrong but in my situation, Renee was laying in such a way that you could see everything lol! very clearly. ..

In my days, Ultrasounds were not in, however with my 5 Grandkids the mothers all knew what they were having, and being at the birth of 4 of them, when the bub is delivered and the doctor says *Its  a Boy* , the excitement is just as great.
And the advantage of having colour choices for nursery & clothes is great.
As long as the Ultrasound is 100% ceratin to what they can see. Marian

I didn't reget finding out at all with my second child.

My first was born 13 yrs prior and there wasn't any ultrasound available and I honestly wished I had known if he was going to be a boy or girl. I feel knowing makes things a bit easier all round and in knowing if you are having a boy or girl, doesn't take any of the excitment away at the time of birth, that's just MO.
Cheers

 Thank you ladies, that's what I was hoping to hear. Never thought i'd want to know but lately been thinking that for my second one I would. Now just to convince hubby!

Hi,

I found out with my first, the second one they got it wrong and the third one I wasn't sure if I wanted to know, so I asked them to write the sex down and put it in an envelope that I brought along and at a later stage, if I really wanted to know, I could open the envelope.  Curiousity got the better of me and I opened it, but I don't regret it.  Just remember though, it's not 100% accurate.

Cheers
