To tell or not to tell?

[Lolpigs]

DH and I don't want to know what we're having (#1 for us). We have our 20 week scan later this week. Any tips for how to avoid finding out by accident from medical or reception staff, both at the scan and in the months ahead?

My husband and I were the same. TBH unless they spend a lot of time looking for the genitals I really couldn't tell anyway LOL It's hard to know what your looking at sometimes unless they tell you.

Our place asked us if we were having a surprise or not, and didn't even try to show us because we said we were.

I found it so exciting when DD was born to find out what she was. I was having 3 scans a week for the last month and we managed to keep it secret.

Even if you find out, you don't have to say. You don't have to tell people. It's like your own little secret between you and your partner...

Nickle - I'm so glad your DS was okay, that would've been awful. I like the idea of saying straight out that you'll be referring to bubs as both he and she.

Corolla Chick - that's how I feel too, thanks!

Raffy - we sound very similar

Rowellen - that would be soo hard to keep from your DH!

LynsDan - good luck!

Charlotte91 - exactly

Okay, I think we're going to try our very hardest to keep it to ourselves...well I'm sure DH will have no problem, it's me that's going to struggle! Though I'm already getting pressure from people which is only making me more determined to keep a secret. Thank you everyone for your replies!
