DH strongly wants to wait until the birth to find out the baby’s sex and I’m struggling a bit. We found out with DC1 (both wanted to know) so I am a bit shocked he’s come out with this!
At the same time, I don’t want to spoil this for him, we don’t plan to have any more children so really would be his only chance.

For those of you who have chosen to keep it a surprise, how on earth do you settle not knowing?! Blush

I'm only 4 weeks and with the last pregnancy I had we were definitely going to find out the gender, but it was a miscarriage, however this time we're thinking of waiting til birth.

I love yellow and gender neutral colours anyways. Nursery was going to be yellow either way.

I hope the suspense won't kill me Grin

Team yellow all the way! Best surprise in the world. Fun guessing, too.

What colours are you buying?
I'm thinking of doing everything in white and grey, and then get one nice girlier outfit and one nice maler one.
The Peter rabbit range in marks and Spencer's is very lovely Smile
Do struggle to find nice unisex stuff from cheaper stores

Any colours! Pale yellow or green, browns, beige, grey... all lovely on a newborn of either gender! But white is the best Smile

Agree with the poster that said it's like taking a peak inside a present.

It will be the biggest surprise probably of your life. I think it's much more special to have a surprise.

Plus you have all the anticipation and guessing to get you through the last bit of pregnancy and the labour.

if you're having a baby shower you can put the gender down as one of the guesses for your guests (along with birth date, weight etc).

I wouldnt dress my baby gender specific anyway, not really a fan of pink for girls, blue for boys. Find that a bit dated.

A lot of what I've got (January sales plus vouchers for Christmas = oh dear) is white with bits of grey, beige or rainbow colours (eg thin stripes or dots). I got some animal print stuff too 😂 there's some mint green in Aldi at the moment and Marks and Spencer had some lovely yellow the other day.

I have got one outfit that's blue and white stripes with a pink cat on, I think that might be the first photo outfit with a 'suitable' coloured hat of course. I prefer the neutral stuff anyway and everyone says stay in baby grows for months rather than outfits so I'm happy with that!
