I hate suprises and with both DD's I found out. Then with my 3rd I just did not want to know. I loved not knowing and now if I was to have more babies I wont be finding out anymore.
Such a personal choice but if your last was a suprise then you could always find out this time so you have experienced both.
2X suppries here.
current belly bub DH knows the sex but i dont. he wanted to know "just because he'd done the supprise thing twice" lol. i like to know at the end of the preg i get a "push present" as such; besides a baby lol.
i had 2 surprises, but was really tempted this time to find out. Had the ultrasound and decided that i could hold on to find out. I might need the extra motivation (to find out the sex of my little one) towards the end of the pregnancy more than i do now.
Our first was a surprise and our second will be as well. It has been tempting to find out this time around, especially as we had a CVS test at 12 weeks so could have known 100% since way back then! It's also strange going to my midwife appointments knowing the gender is right there in my notes... but we've stayed strong and will have another surprise
It was so incredibly special for me when DH looked me in the eye and told me:
1st: "It's a girl! We have a beautiful princess" with teary eyes.
2nd: "OMG it's a boy!! We have a gorgeous boy" once again with teary eyes.
3rd: "We have another precious boy. He is another perfect boy" with a kiss and a tear.
I will never forget those 3 moments. It was the most amazing way to find out what our kids were.
Also by not knowing DH went shopping as soon as possible after bubby was born and bought our baby their first gender specific outfit. I still have these outfits for each of the kids. Doesn't sound like much but DH hates shopping but he loved going and picking their first outfit which became their going home outfit. Once again incredibly special moments.
These moments outweighed being able to paint a room or have gender specific clothes for me.
