Let me start by saying I am a complete control freak and need to have everything under control, always, so I apologise for my nuttiness.
I found out the sex with both my girls and have no regrets doing it. DH didn't find out either time and I had no trouble keeping it from him. He doesn't want to find out this time either.
When we were TTC and throughout the early weeks I definitely didn't want to find out for this one - final baby, last big surprise etc. I think part of it was rebelling against all those that told me how desperate DH and I must be for a little boy, when nothing could be further from the truth. Now I'm starting to waver and think I will "need" to find out - my need to be organised and all that. I know I can buy a few neutral things to get us through and then do a big shop once bubs is here (I have nothing left from the girls so even if its a girl, I won't have stuff), but the thought of being that disorganised is making me stress a little.
So, I guess this is a question to the ladies who have done both - found out prior to birth and not. Is one better than the other? Do you with you hadn't found out your baby's gender? Or was it better to find out and you regret not finding out with the other bub/s?
