to not want to know the sex of our baby?

Due some harmony test results today. If they are low risk, which we are praying they are, we don't really want to find out the sex. Problem is, the results have the sex written on them! Would it be weird to get a friend to read the results to us and not tell us? I feel like we should be the first ones to know the sex..

Wouldn't be the end of the world as we found out and we are much more concerned about the wellbeing of our baby of course!

Can you not ask the hospital to blank out the sex?

I'm no expert but I would imagine under data protection laws they would be allowed to gI've your results to someone else. Mind you saying that. You are allowed to collect other people's prescriptions for them without any issues, so I could be wrong.
Could you maybe call the hospital and ask them not to be babies gender on the results. Other people must be the same. You can't be the only pregnant women who doesn't want to know what she's having.

Heaven forbid and please God everything is okay. However imagine if worse case scenario its not the news you are hoping for and it falls on your friend to deliver the news to you. How do you think she'd feel.
I wouldn't be able to do that..You can't put that onus on people

I would never ever want to know the sex until the birth, so I would be looking for any possible way to avoid finding out myself.

My results were emailed to me, if yours are the same just forward the email to someone else to read!

I agree with @Awwlookatmybabyspider, it would be awful if a friend had to deliver bad news for you.

Just try and avoid reading it where possible, as hard as it sounds! If I were you I couldn't resist peeking though Grin
