ooh it's a tricky one - GL making your decision.

With my first PG, I didn't want to know, but that was a m/c.
With my second PG, I changed my mind and did want to know. So we found out at 20 weeks and didn't tell anyone we knew.... but we told EVERY stranger the entire waiting room at our scan knew!! And I told here on BB. Tbh I had really wanted a girl, but when I saw my little boy on the screen my heart melted - it was the best thing I ever did. Poor DH was petrified I'd be disappointed but I was just in love , I had never realised that finding out early would be so powerful, I felt I really bonded with him. After a big scare at 21.5 weeks (were told we'd lose him) we told a couple of two family members. It was nice being able to share it with them. He was named by about 21 weeks and we used his name throughtout the PG, and confirmed it within 2 nanoseconds of his birth!

This time, I was hoping for a girl to round out our family - so we decided to find out again. Because my DH told everyone after DS's birth that we knew about DS but kept it secret, we couldn't really do that again! So now we know it's a girl... and we've told the WORLD! DH was joking that I'll take out a 2 page ad in the paper. I never thought I'd enjoy telling during the PG but I love it. It's fantastic to share it before the work of having a new baby to look after! I'm getting to talk to my work colleagues, neighbours, friends... everyone and to enjoy hearing their happiness for us. And i"m talkign to people who I wouldn't necessarily see in the first month or so after the birth - after which time the surprise of the announcement has worn off. I also feel that each time it gives me time to bond and come to terms with it. My main concession to uncertainty is to get the gender double checked a few times, just to make sure!! So saying, I've already named my darling bundle this time too

I think it's such a personal thing, but I have to say, I love love love knowing and telling maybe I'm just a blabbermouth
