To find out the sex or not?

[newmumtobe86]

I really can't decide if to find out the sex or not...

It's a personal decision and I'm sure you'll make the right one for you

We're not finding out but I feel like we are in the minority! I've always imagined finding out on the day they arrive and really like the idea of it still being a surprise then and something to look forward to after the birth, but I know other people feel that it is just as special finding out in advance, and it also helps with the planning, shopping, names etc...! To me it feels a bit like peeking at your Christmas presents before they are wrapped up hehe, but I have lots of friends who found out and were glad they did so it's definitely personal preference!

If you want to find out then go for it, but don't be put off if you do decide to keep it a surprise, I really don't believe that anyone would bond with their baby any less because they didn't know!! Perhaps it depends if you would be disappointed one way or the other?

We found out both times. This time I was sure I was having a girl and it's another boy. For a day I was a bit sad that the picture I had in my head wasn't going to be realised but then I starred thinking of bump as our chosen boys name and I'm now totally fine and excited to meet our son.
