    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.

    We haven't decided yet whether we're going to find out, but I think we will tell people, only because there's no way I'd be able to keep my mouth shut

    We found out and I originally wanted to keep it a secret but MIL really chucked a tanti and wanted to know so we told everyone. I must admit I don't think it would have been a secret for long as I started refering to the baby as a 'he' and 'him' so they would have found out anyway.

    But as someone said before, we have so many clothes now that I doubt we will need to buy any for him for some time so thats one less thing to worry about.
