1. What is your cultural background? I am Australian & my husband is Balinese

2. Are you currently pregnant or were pregnant in the last few years? We have a 7 month old daughter & a 7 yr old daughter

3. Did you take advantage of technology when having an ultra sound to find
out the gender of your baby? Why? We did ask about the gender but were told at the time they couldnt conclusively see, so we were told a 60% chance it was a girl (they were correct) but, we didnt think 60% was great odds & so didnt buy girl stuff or buy any gender specificx clothing. I guess we wanted to find out because we could start preparing, but in the end we loved that it was a surprise & glad we didnt know 100%.

4. Was this decision reached by yourself or with other family members and
why? Family members all told us not too find out & if we did find out, we were not telling them anyways. Only DH & I decided with our older daughter that we wanted to know.

5. Did/do you have a preference for the gender, ie. wanting a boy or girl.
Why or why not? Not at all, babies are totally amazing blessings & a miracle, either sex is fine with both DH & I...

6.Did any of your reltaives or in-laws also have a preference on the gender
of your baby and how was this known? My Mum said once that another grandson would be nice as she has 4 grandaughters & 1 grandson, but it was a basic comment not a dissapponitment to her that she got another granddaughter!

7. If it was not the gender you wanted, has this effected your relationship
with other family members and if so how? N/A

8. a) IF YOU ARE CURRENTLy pregnant do you think it will affect your
relationship with your unborn child, knowing the gender before hand? N/A

b) If YOU WERE PREGNANT, has your relationship with your child been affected in any way as a result of you finding out the gender of your baby via ultrasound? We didnt know 100%, so it ever did, nor would it affect our relationship!

9. Would you find out the gender again, if you were pregnant again? If we are blessed to have more children, we will not find out the gender, I love the element of surprise at the end!

10. Do you think that finding the gender of babies in the womb will have any future consequences in Australian society? HOw? I truly hope that any early gender detection doesnt affect society, with early terminations for not carrying the gender of preference, it should be illegal. Babies are miracles & there are SO many wonderfully beautifiul people out there that are trying their hardest to be blessed with a child, either sex they'd be stoked with...
