With DS I decided that I wanted to know - but i wanted to keep it a secret. I ended up telling everyone on BB () and my ob...and then my sister (cos she is the only family that is nearby and she saw all the blue stuff!). So, in the end we told everyone.

With my current pg, DH and I decided to tell people that we are expecting a boy. BUT...I wish we hadn't. People can't keep their opinions to themselves, and seem genuinely disappointed for us that we aren't having a girl!

I'm glad I know, but I think I could have easily kept quiet/secret on the gender.

I think you have the right attitude to the whole thing - I don't think people mean to be rude, they are just interested and excited for you.
