What do you all think? Will you (have you) waited or found it out during pregnancy? And what happens if you and your partner disagree on waiting or knowing?

This is something DP and I talked about a few days ago.

Spontaneous and adventurous as I like to be, I don't want to know until our baby is right here and I can see it. I also think it would be exciting to wonder, and give labor that extra spark.

Logical and prepared and DP likes to be, she would like to know so that we can make sure we get "the right things".

Its interesting that she says that, because I have always seen DP as someone who disregards typical gender roles. And now, she wants to make sure we don't dress our boy in pink (but a girl in blue is ok). I said we could just buy green and yellow if she is so worried about it, but what about the nursery!

So, this is something we'll be discussing more. I have always wanted to wait to find out. And anyway, even if the ultrasound tells us one thing, it could always be wrong.

I stand by my decision to not know. Though I think DP is going to get her way eventually! I've already started relenting - thinking 'well I'm going to be physically experiencing the pregnancy,and maybe this is something important to her...'.

I still want to wait though.

And I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work if she knew and I didn't!
