20 week scan...to find out or not find out sex of baby?!

[Bubbly77]

Hi All! I will be 19 weeks on Monday and have my 20 week scan booked for 12 January 2015. I can't wait. Hubby originally wanted to find out the sex of the baby and I didn't, so we both agreed not to. I currently have two boys, aged 10 and 4 years. I have felt differently in this pregnancy, worse, felt very sick (but not been it), a lot more tired, and looked a lot worse (more spotty) and pale. I blossomed in my previous pregnancies. Everyone keeps saying it's got to be a girl but I think it's a boy. I must admit I am tempted to find out but wanted a surprise as this is my third and final child. What are everyone else's plans?

Am 21 weeks and scan is on Monday. DH wants to find out, mostly from a practical point of view - so we can donate half of the clothes from previous babies.

The children have started stating preferences which is hard as we cant 'change' the sex of this little one and I don't want them to have gender disappointment!

We didn't find out in previous children, although DH wanted to on last baby but baby wasn't in the right position at scan.

I don't want to as quite like the 'reveal' at the end.

We've decided not to find out, we've 4 girls between us but this is our first together. Main reasons we've decided not too are that it doesn't make a difference to us aslong as its healthy and I can't be done with the negative "awww, surely you'll try again for a boy" like I had with my 2nd daughter. Good luck xx

We didn't find out. Best decision we made, finding out we had a girl when she was born was the biggest high!

My 20 week scan is on Tuesday, but we had a scan before Christmas and found out we are having a girl, for us we love being able to refer to her as our daughter already. I understand that some people find it more special to find out on the day he/she is born, but I am not known for my patience :) It was great finding out, my husband and I got emotional and my parents were with us as well, so it was perfect for us.

Very personal decision. We didn't find out in first two but I accidentally found out this time.

Having experienced both I way way prefer not knowing!

Hi all, thanks for your replies. I think I will wait as that was my initial thoughts, it will be something extra to look forward too! xx
