Finding out the gender - family FLAMED me for it.....

[dontsqueezetheteabag]

12 weeks pregnant with 1st baby. Was out with immediate family at the weekend and someone said something like "take it you won't be finding out the sex". To which I replied, eh, yes, we are planning on finding out.

I got totally flamed for it, like I was going to ruin their surprise. they were trying to talk me out of it.

Not sure how I feel about the whole thing. Obviously I am sensitive (because of hormones) but I am pretty annoyed at their reaction.

It's MY baby, and MY pregnancy.....

My mum never found out what she was having with me or my sister and said she found it helped in labour and she really wanted to know. But she was so excited when we said we were going to find out with ours (more so because she wanted to start shopping ASAP!!)
My boyfriends dad didn't want to know and never wanted to know with any of his other grandchildren either but always ended up finding out at some point or another.
We invite both of our parents to the gender scan and boyfriends dad said he would rather be there and see the baby and find out than miss the opportunity of seeing him.
No one else said anything to us about finding out.
Wouldn't have made a difference though.
Good luck!!

Exactly, tell them to go away nicely, fuck the fuck off then settle down and enjoy
