I've noticed basically all of my friends who've had babies have found out the gender before. For me this would be like opening my presents before Christmas. On the day you get to enjoy the presents, but there's no element of surprise! I honestly have no desire at all to find out the gender as, apart from weight and appearance, it's the only real distinguishing factor about a newborn, and so if I know that there's nothing left to intrigue me. It's funny because generally in life I am quite nosey and impatient, but I've always been 100% sure this is one area of life I'd rather keep a surprise.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I’m wanting a surprise too… do you feel like everyone questions you as if you have just been dropped on earth… really you’re not going to find out?! Yes I’m not going to find out and I’m
Happy with it 🙄

Found out with my first, as I was too curious and couldn't wait.
With #2 we chose not to find out, as I was fine either way and was excited for a surprise. DS was born in the pool, I fished him out of the water and announced "its a boy!" One of the best moments of my life, tbh.
With #3 same thing happened, I didn't have to go "fishing" as the midwife scooped him up and lay him on my chest. It took about ten minutes for me to lift him up and announce again, "its a boy!".
Currently pregnant with DS4 and this time DH insisted on finding out... in case its another boy- which it is. Personally i'd prefer not knowing and i'm slightly disappointed that I won't get to do the announcement which is totally my favourite part of the birth, but at the same time i'm glad I know its another little boy!
There's no right or wrong but personally I adore that moment of the great surprise.....
