I wanted to know and as it turned out they could not give me a sure answer anyway. Don't forget that if you do choose to find out, they may not be able to tell becuase of position or etc and it might be a surprise anyway!
i was always big on Not Knowing but for some reason that has changed. I'd say probably because of ivf, finding out the sex is at least something we can control iykwim.
DH didn't believe in keeping it for a suprise and wnated to find out. So i had a think about it and i just sort of dawned on me that, yes, i do wnat to know.
I feel completely comfortable with our decision.
But we aren't going to tell anyone, unless they really press us and we won't select a name til after we meet bubs. we'll have a shortlist and then see what suits. we are finding out just for ourselves.
We also don't live near any family so it's not like i have to hide it or whatever. andl like someone else said, i can buy suitable stuff over the next few months.... given i won't be working, i want to spend the money while i still have it.
hope that helps you make your decision! in the end, it's each to their own.

We've found out the gender with each pregnancy for pretty much the same reasons as Mum2 & ControlFreak have described. I am a person that needs to know things in advance so I can process it then plan and organise. It wasn't that we minded what we were having, we just wanted to know in advance so we could plan, pick a name, bond, etc. It has been great each time to be able to buy/borrow clothes in advance so you don't have to worry about it once the baby is here.
I completely understand why some people like to keep it as a surprise and I admire anyone who has the self control! I think it all comes down to our own personalities and what we feel we need/want.
