We told everyone. Though Clints parents didn't want to know they ended up finding out. It made it sooooooooooooooooo amazing once she was born, the things ppl gave her were amazing and we didn't have to buy her clothes for MONTHS
I also loved celebrating it with others and talking about it
If you aren't going to tell anybody then prob dont find out. If your anything like us we were wayyyy to excited to keep it in for all those months!
Congrats and I cant wait to find out!
some people will want to know, others won't (we have at least a couple of friends that have threatened physical violence if we spill!!)
our intention is to share with those that we told early about our pg - those that we can trust to keep it to themselves, but to have people to share with kwim? a couple of people that knew early on won't have a chance of finding out though - they couldn't keep their trap shut! we're doing the same nurery either way, so gender specific clothes is all we have to hide.. and given that so many of our friends have recently had bubbas or will be having bubbas just before us, if we're seen out shopping, we have excuses!
i think if you fond out then you should tell - i had on e girl say to me" no we enjoy gloating about peoples guesses" put me right off- could not give a rats what her baby is now.
we told ( both sex and name)and found it really helped so when bubs came out it was like everybody already knew him - was really what we wanted. instead of a baby shower we had a "*** coming soon party" people gave us stuff with his name etc.
really up to the indivdual but nicer to share. JMHO.
LSK- I agree about ppl finding but not telling A lady I know said the same thing pretty much "we love knowing and not telling, ppl are dying to know!"
I said "Not anymore, Im excited but couldn't care enough to get worked up about the sex."
She made it sound like an attention thing, being pg is wonderful attention as it is.
With DS1, we found out and told our families and expected them not to spread it around, which they didn't. It was a bit hard to keep a secret since it was plain as day to see when they watched the video of the u/s.
As for DS2, we were unsure the lady gave us the right gender (she told us from a profile view. ) We decdied before we found out we could have 2 people each to tell and they couldn't tell anyone.
Good luck with your decision.
All the best with what you decide and aswell as the rest of your pg.
mamma kass- thank god i am not the only one. i felt like a cow writing that but at least i know we can share our cow- ness!!! loved your response!!
tenn- good solution!!
we told. I was desperate to know and my two DD's were too. and i couldnt expect them to keep it quiet for so long. and now that we know we refer to the baby as him/he so it would have been too hard to keep it quiet.
BUT we are keeping the name quiet... so that way at least there is some news to tell people when he arrives. We are also keeping quiet about the fact that he will be here earlier than anyone expects
