I didn't find out for the first two...I was quite happy for it to be a surprise.
But I found out for the other 5...for several reasons:
- So we could name bub and the other kids would know them by name and maybe bond a bit before birth.
- So I could get organised rooms, clothing, bedding etc.
- Because the older I got the more impatient I got
i had to find out with all of mine, there is no way i could last the full 40 weeks not knowing!
we have enough trouble deciding on one name, let alone one for a boy and one for a girl. i did have recurrent dreams with dd tho that they told me the wrong thing at the scan, i panicked and spent the last 2 weeks running arround getting green, yellow and white clothes as in my dream we had a beautifull little boy, and nothing but girls clothes for him! i never ended up using any of them tho!
DH and I have always said we wouldnt find out and have a surprise. it doesnt bother us either way, and i'm so easy going and laid back i'd prob just dress my boy in pink and vise versa if thats how it happened and it wouldn't bother me. DH didn't findout out with his last 3 children, and they even picked names that could be unisex, (which strangly worked out perfect that the more boy name was a boy and for the next kid the more girl name was a girl..)
I think if i had twins, i would want to know if they were the same or different...but still wouldnt want to know what, itms.
well i had it both ways without a choice with DS he had his legs wide open so we could see the lot we were so happy coz we wanted a boy with DD we couldnt see coz she had the cord in between her legs and i was so annoyed that i couldnt find out i had a feeling she was a girl but i couldnt say it out loud but everyone else said girl but when she was born DH almost had a heart attack he thought she was a boy but the cord was still around her leg cheeky girl lol the reason i wanted to know is coz i like to be organised
