We just had my husband and me. We didn't even think of inviting other people, I thought it was nice having just the two of us to bond over such a special moment.
I don't plan to have anyone outside of DH and Me (and the ultrasound tech, of course) in the room during any of our ultrasounds, including when we find out the sex.
It was me, FI and my dad's girlfriend. She was there because she has been like a mom to me and she liked going to my prenatal appointments. I don't think I would have wanted anymore people there. It would have been nice if it was just me and FI and I plan on it just being us next time.
Just me and daddy. honestly, its a big deal to the parents but the ultrasound tech didn't make it too special... first she said, do you want to know the sex, we said yes and then she guessed... she said I bet its a boy by how much the baby is moving... and then she said oh nevermind.. its clearly a girl. I gave my husband a smile and he smiled back and she went on with checking out the baby... Its a moment for just mom and dad I think. I also know someone who had the tech write down what it was, and they went on a picnic that afternoon and looked at it together, alone. I wish we would have done this.
Hubs has to work and unfortunately can't slip away for the appoinment (yay Army). Luckily my MIL will be here visiting, so I won't be going alone. I've had to go to my other appointments alone, and thanks to me looking about 16 years old, I get a lot of crusty looks.
I plan to have the tech write the sex down and put it in an envelope so DH and I can still find out together.
It will just be the two of us because we live out of state. There is a 3D/4D ultrasound place that will allow for a live ultrasound via internet so we may do that so that our parents can be apart of it.
we aren't at the baby making point yet, but it would just be me and him, I feel like it should be a private couples moment.
@dj: I agree, I wasn't a fan of our tech either. She told us first thing that we wouldn't find out until the end b/c so many people have awful reactions and take it out on her. Umm.... we're finding out the sex of our baby, we'll be excited no matter what!
I was alone. Husband can't take time off work during busy season and my mom lives out of town.
Honestly, the appt took over an hour and was mostly boring- she announced right away what I was having and the rest of the appt was her getting extreme close ups of baby's spine and cord and my cervix- not exactly exciting stuff, and I couldn't tell what was what on the screen.
our tech was nice but unfortunately ultrasound techs do this day in a day out so.. finding out a babys gender probably isn't tooo exciting anymore... and our ultrasound only lasted about 10 minutes if even.
I had my husband and my mother in the room. I guess it's kinda wrong that we didn't invite my mother in law. But that was a decision we both made. I wanted it to be special for us and my mother as this is her first grandchild. My mother in law has a few already. I think if you're close to your family having them present would be really special for all of you guys. But 15 people sounds like a lot! I wonder how big the room is to even accommodate that many people.
With my first it was Fi me and my mom but with the second it was me all by myself :( Fi would have been there if he could but it was a rush to the hospital ER trip ultrasound to make sure the baby was ok and the tech could tell and i couldnt not know...
We haven't had that appointment yet, but we do know that it will just be the two of us in the room. It is kind of just one of those things that we want to experience with only one another. We will tell everyone after :)
it was just me and the sonographer...dh had to work and couldn't come to the appt. but it was fun to surprise him when he got home from work. also, since both our families live out of town, we made cute signs and surprised them on skype!

My husband & I are unsure if when we go to find out the sex of the baby if we want just him, I & our moms.. or him & I and other close family, including the males... I need opinions on this... as this is our first.... we can have up to 15 people in room..
Also, the place and appointment is specifically for finding out the gender... that is all the whole appointment is for. It is a special place that does that at 17 weeks.
