I know that it's way early, but I'm curious!

As of right now, we're undecided, but leaning towards not finding out. H doesn't think I can make it until May, I think I can. His reasoning is that I claimed that we wouldn't find out with DD/#2 and we found out at 17 weeks.

I was super keen to find out with my first because I felt like it helped me bond with her. This time, I probably wouldn't mind a surprise, but ultimately I feel like I need to know in case I have to get my head around having a boy!
Doing NIPT at 10 weeks so I'll know from that.
I really don't judge those who don't find out though, very much a personal decision.

adeline, we have one of each already, so there's no... pressure? Not that there was on any side with either previous pregnancy and we really didn't have a preference outside of healthy then either. IDK. Plus this is absolutely our last, so I do kind of want the surprise at the end. My OB does ultrasounds at every appointment between 6 & 32 weeks, so that makes it extra difficult to not find out because SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES!

We'll be finding out. I think it would be cool to have the surprise, definitely. But I also know myself well enough to know that I always like to have all the information possible as soon as possible. Plus, even if I could wait, I don't think my H could. To each their own though.

I don't want to find out. I didn't with our first either, but H said he would prefer to, so we did.
I told him I want to be team green this time around and he said he thinks he should find out and I won't 🙄.

I don't want to find out this time. That is the plan for now. I found out with the first three. So I'd like to do it this way for my last baby

We'll be finding out. I wouldn't at all mind being team green but DH really really likes knowing. He refuses to even discuss names until we know, hahaha. We've got two boys already and this will likely be our last, so a girl would be neat but all boys would be cool too. DH thinks that at this point we might as well just have boys because it's easier.

I wish I had the will to be team green but I have to know all the things! I mostly want to be team green because my in laws have all grand daughters and the pressure is on for a boy. I would rather not hear any comments about it lol

We will find out. I feel like it helps me bond with baby. Plus if it's a boy, I will need to go buy things. 😜

I like finding out before, even though I know it's not very adventurous of me. We have two boys and people always ask if we will try for a girl. That drives me nuts. I think knowing would nip those comments in the bud.

I'm a planner and need to know all the things possible.
Plus if it's a girl (which doesn't really happen in H's family) I'm going to need to buy all the ruffle-butted things in existence.

We will find out. We did the first time too, and I'm glad. I had a traumatic delivery, and knowing that he was my son and being firm on a name that I could call him right away were blessings.
ETA: he's fine, but we were separated for six hours after birth. It was a scary time.

We found out the last two times but I really want to be team green this time. H sounded surprised when I mentioned it the other day but I've got a while to get him on board.

We were team green the first time, it was honestly the best surprise. I am hoping we can be team green again this time. DH is going to have to be persuaded again. With our family it was definitely a very unpopular decision.
Sorry for bringing a dead thread back to life

We are definitely going to find out. I saved all DD's clothes and I want to know if I can get rid of them and go shopping!

We haven't decided yet, but we probably will find out. We did last time.

We were green last time and I think I'd like to be as well. My H raised the idea of finding out so we can share with DS that he will have a baby sister / brother.

Definitely finding out. I did the Panorama 1st tri genetic test last time around so we'll do that again.

We waffle back and forth. I think if its twins we will 100% find out. If its one, not sure.

This is one of the reasons I'm leaning towards finding out. Then DD will be able to know and hopefully that will ease the transition better. Maybe.

His reasoning is that I claimed that we wouldn't find out with DD/#2 and we found out at 17 weeks. I'm here too. I didn't want to find out last time either, but I couldn't handle the mystery. Also, I agree with Risscaboobs, I bond better with the baby in utero after I find out.

Now that we’ve told family, I’m getting swayed toward finding out. I would like to wait for the delivery, but I think it will be hard to know that I could have that information but won’t. I also feel more disconnected from this pregnancy (probably because my toddler takes all of my attention), so it might help to bring me back into it mentally.
We still have 9-10 weeks before our A/S, so plenty of time to go back and forth about it a million times!
