MemberDo you (or Did you) want the sex of the Baby to be a surprise? My Hubby wants it to be, but I dont! I wanna know what I will be carrying, and get excited and shop and get the room ready. What it looks like is a surprise enough for me! : )
MemberI’m like you blondiebee – I think I will make it up in my head one way or the other and then be surprised when the baby isn’t what I think. Not that I have a preference for sex but I know I’ll convince myself of which it is even if I don’t find out so I’d rather just know.
MemberI absolutely do not want to know. I am so scared of a miscarriage and I think I would get too attached if I knew the sex. Also, we are going to have multiple children, so not completely decorating in pink or blue is a good thing. Lastly, I’m a bit old fashioned and just like a good surprise.
MemberWe’re not expecting a baby but I definitely would want a surprise. Although I completely understand why some people don’t…
Member@troubled- I will do the same thing and it will drive me crazy! haha. I dont have a preference but I do want to doll the room up and dream about it for months. It would give me somethign to do while preggo! We are TTC next month! 🙂
MemberI’m a few years away from having a baby, but I totally need to know the sex when my time comes!!! And I keep telling Fiance, it had better be a girl! LOL! I’d want to get the nursery ready, etc. I grew up in a yellow room and I don’t want to do that to my kids 😉
MemberI’m with you blondiebee- I wanna know! I wanna buy cute boy or girl things, the gender neutral stuff is cute too, but I prefer going one way or the other. And to me its enough to be surprised when you find out you’re pregnant, then to see what he or she looks like.
MemberI would definitely want to know when the time comes. I am just way too impatient to wait and see!
Member@Blondibee – We are too! We have a trip in the beginning of August and then…..well, we’ll see how things work but that’s the plan.

MemberThe way I see it is that its a surprise either way. (unless you do IVF sex selection for genetic reasons). So you just pick when the surprise will be! Personally I will want it to be a surprise, atleast the first time. Maybe for subsequent babies I’d like to know.
My step mum found out when her and my mum did IVF, and it really helped us all bond to the pregnancy knowing there was a little girl on the way! Also, because they used an anonymous donor, we didn’t know much about the donor’s physical appearance other than blonde, blue eyed, caucasian, etc. He could have been butt ugly! Luckily my lil sis is as cute as a button. So seeing what she looked like was a big surprise!
MemberWe kept it a surprise. Though it is doubtful we’ll have another, it’s hard to say if we would keep it a surprise the second time around.
Member@troubled-That’s great! We will have to keep eachother updated on how it goes! Is it your first?! I just got off the pill 5 days ago, for the first time! And have been taking Pre Nats the past few days! BTW-I was married 9 months ago today! 🙂
Memberwere about to ttc, and i haven’t decided yet.. i think it would be a nice surprise, but also i wanna go shopping!!!
MemberCongrats! We just match a lot. I got married like 9 1/2 months ago. And I’m also a blondie.
I’ve never been on the pill we just use our own version of NFP. No pre-nats for me just regular vitamins but I will start taking mommy vitamins if I get pregnant.
