Nice to read the different thoughts and answers on this question.

I found out and I told people. I actually felt as though I was more connected t9 the foetus as I was calling it ‘him’. I did it for both my pregnancies.

I found out ASAP and told my closest friends and family shortly after.

I didn’t know, I didn’t want to know. It seems to in the in thing to know now, with big gender reveal parties. Not for me

We found out with our 2nd one but didn’t share with others.

I did!! I knew it in my heart that my i will have a baby boy so i was really eager to know in advance and so is my hubby. Best decision ever

We found out the sex of our son. Couldn’t help ourselves

Yes, we found out with all 4. We always said we wanted them to be surprises but both hubby and I couldn’t wait to find out and then we’re so excited so we told everyone.

I didn’t want to know. All I wanted to know was that the baby was healthy.

Yes. I’m a single mum and wanted to be prepared.

Didn’t want to know with either of ours. My sons partner is expecting and they want to know the sex. Shopping today for a baby without knowing the sex is a nightmare! It’s so hard to find baby clothes that aren’t pink or blue, for a boy or girl.

Oh, I didn’t want to but his little bits were so clear in the scan – it was definitely a boy!!

In my 2nd pregnancy now and didn’t find out the gender for either. I have found that most people did find out and it is hard to get generic clothing!

I wasn’t going to but at the 20 week ultrasound it was too hard to resist so I ended up finding out. It helped me prepare easier as well.

When we knew we told people but for the third we didnt as we didnt know what sex it was . When you know what sex it is i dont think it matters if others know. keeping it a secret is only exciting for the parents thinking other will be really excited by the announcement, but really all others care about is that the baby arrives safely.

We found out but didn’t tell people. My husband hates surprises. Next time if we find out I’m going to pretend we don’t know, because strangers who asked expected me to reveal the gender and we’re offended when I didn’t. I’d love a surprise but hubby would not survive, he liked mentally preparing for our boy.

I found out because I like to be organised and prepared. People say but then it isn’t a surprise! It was still a great surprise for us when we found out! That doesn’t go away. Also gender reveal cakes at the baby shower is a great idea! Adds another element of surprise

for the first one i found out the sex because we were young and starting out and had a mortgage to pay so i wanted to be prepared

We found out we were having a girl. I kept in mind that ultrasounds could be wrong, so I wouldn’t have been completely surprised if she was a he … but she wasn’t. Hubby had already picked out our daughter’s name and I don’t think he would have managed too well if she was a boy. I do know of a couple who were expecting a Maisie and got a Fergus.

We were team green (kept it a surprise) with our first. Then with number two my FIL was terminally ill and doctors didn’t think he would be around to see her, so we found out as a way of including and involving him in the life of his unborn grandchild. As it turned out, they did meet and he passed on 5 weeks after I had our daughter. I am currently 36 weeks pregnant again, and we have reverted to team green!! My husband said he much preferred the thrill of the surprise at birth. So despite me wanting to know for practical reasons, we are happily waiting to find out if the girls will have a brother or sister in May.
