No, as much as I kind of like the idea of a surprise I never could wait lol. I also like to be prepared and I just found it easier knowing what we were having.
Yes, we wanted it to be a surprise, and it was! Many people guessed I was carrying a boy and so my husband and I started to think along those lines. When our daughter was born, it was a beautiful, pleasant surprise.
I was one of them, I never even went for ultrasound, had not reason, was feeling great and nothing to worry about, I just went with the flow of nature and just waited, it is so fantastic to get the surprise when you first give birth.
I can understand and have experienced both sides. It was nice to have it come a surprise and it was also nice to find it out during pregnancy, we didn’t share it with other people though.
I always wanted the sex of both of my babies to be a surprise. There is something special and surprising about giving birth and finding out if it is a boy or a girl when they arrive into the world. Also I find naming the baby easier once you can actually look at them. As a friend of many people that have found out – I find the actual birth of babies where their sex is known is a bit of a anti-climax – like wow – what did she have – oh that’s right a baby boy – what did they call him – oh that’s right they already had a name chosen – no excitement what so ever . Having said that – each to their own.
I’ve had both of my kids a surprise only because I think we are blessed when they are healthy . I have seen mums who does know and it does make planning easier such as buying appropriate clothing or asking for suitable presents in advance etc.. But then I heard ultrasounds can be wrong ….
