Hi CM, we found out and haven't told one single person! Except on here! We just told people we didn't find out and it's actually really nice having a little secret just for us!
The trouble I can see with knowing but not telling is that once people know that you've found out, they'll pester till you tell them! We found out we're having a little boy and have been happy to tell people, but now they're all asking us to spill on what names we've picked - and that we're not telling, but keeping just for us.
So if you do decide to find out, I wouldn't be letting on that you know by just saying bub wasn't co-operative and it was too hard to tell
We found out with our 3rd child, and we have also found out with this one. We just say no we didn't find out. It is my stock standard reply, we haven't told the boys as they would certainly tell everyone.
I find it quite nice knowing when no one else does.
We found out both times. The first time it wasn't that much of a secret. Family knew mostly, etc.
The second time around we decided we could tell 2 ( or less) people that we trust each and then no one else would know until the birth. Our trusted people did their jobs well and didn't tell anyone nor let on they knew.
