This is really a decision that only you and your DH can make...

But my DH and I decided not to find out and now that we're literally days away from having bubs we are so glad that we don't know. I've actually requested in my birth plan that DH is the one to announce the sex of our baby, not the OB or midwife. I can't wait for moment that he tells me that we've had a boy or a girl, I think it will be such a special thing to share between just the two of us.

Initially DH wanted to find out and it was me who didn't. I know a lot of people who have found out and shared it with everyone. In a few cases they've even shared the name with the world months before their bubs comes. Personally, when their bubs has arrived I've found that I'm no where near as excited about the babies arrival, there's no what sex is it, what's their name etc, just a oh thats nice, if you know what I mean.

Personally I want my child's arrival in the world to be marked by excitement and happiness from everyone that we know. When I shared these thoughts with DH months ago he tended to agree. Now, we are both so happy that we don't know, and I think once you make the decision not to find out you stop 'dying' to know iykwim...

In terms of finding clothes, it really hasn't been that hard. And I do know what people mean about not wanting to call them 'it' - I also hate that. We just make a point of saying bubs instead of 'it'.

Whatever you and your DH decide will be right for you. Good luck with your pregnancy and journey into motherhood. x
