Oh this is such a personal decision - and it can be quite a tough one at that! One thing I did hear recently which I thought was a really good point is regardless of when you find out (ie at the scan or after you deliver), you really do get a suprise either way but you just find out a bit earlier with one of the options!

We easily decided on a suprise at the end of the labour though. My sister found out with both her boys and it took the fun out of it in a way - that is just my personal opinion though.

I'm a super organised person but I don't believe that I need to know to be organised for our baby's arrival. The nursery is neutral (but that is what we wanted anyway) and we're buying neutral clothing to get us by in the beginning as I know we'll get heaps of little clothes when bubs arrives and my mum will be most happy to hit the shops and buy up big once her grandchild is here.

Another thing that made my decision easy is if I knew the sex, I'd go OVERBOARD on buying clothes so it was the safest option for our credit cards if I didn't know.

We also love all the guessing that is going on (and all the old wives tales I hear about my skin, my hair growth, the size of my belly, my eating habbits, etc) and most of all, I will love to hear those precious words, hopefully from my husbands mouth, when our baby finally arrives: 'it's a......'

Have fun making the decision!
