Would you and your partner determine the sex of your child while it was still in the womb?

I chose to find out the sex of my baby before she was born. I made that decision because, first of all, I was dying to know and I couldn't wait and secondly because since it was my first baby I wanted to be prepared and have her nursery decorated and have the right gender's clothes, etc.

I am considering not finding out for my next child. I think with my next one I would like it to be a suprise because I don't really care if the next one is a boy or a girl.

I think there are pros and cons to both and that it should be a personal decision made by the mother and the father. :)

I wanted to know so I could buy things ahead of time and have the baby shower before my baby came. I had a little boy and never had the baby shower but I didn't find out until he was born, and not for a lack of trying. The first ultrasound they told me it was too early to see well enough at 18 weeks, the next one was at 22 weeks I think because they hadn't been able to get all the measurements they needed the first time. I asked if they could see what sex I was having and my son would just not co-operate he kept pulling his feet up in front of and under his genitals and bum so we couldn't see anything anyway. The only reasons I wanted to know was because my sister in law was due 2 months after I was and knew she was having a boy, everyone was hoping for a girl with us because all the grandchildren on my husband's side were boys so far. Also because we are on a disability pension and a very tight budget so if I knew I was having a boy I could have gone and bought boy things here and there instead of blue because I liked blue and unisex things otherwise. I will be curious with the next one but because I have clothes for a girl from hand-me-downs and because my cousin just found out that she is having a girl in Oct, I also have 2 nephews and my son to get hand-me-downs from for a boy, it really doesn't matter so much this time and since we are decorating with an animal theme or teddy bears it really doesn't have to be gender specific. Besides I would still decorate a little girls room in light blue anyway. I don't think we will find out with the next one, it was kind of nice just knowing the baby was healthy and having the surprise at birth, it's a girl or it's a boy.

I knew my first child was a boy. I knew my second and third children were girls. I miscarried my son at 6 weeks and I never had an ultrasound done to determine the sex of either of my daughters. I have a little thing called mother's intuition. When I delivered my daughters I was ecstatic because I was right.

With my first pregnancy, I found out. I did that because I was a single mom on a limited income, and knowing the sex made it easier for friends and family to help out with baby clothes and stuff. With this one, I am going to find out because my husband and I are buying a house, and knowing will make it easier to decide if we need a two- or three-bedroom house (we already have a boy, so if this one is a girl, we'll need the extra room).

yes, I would do it. In my current situation we have 3 boys and a girl and they are between the ages of 7-18. So we don't have any baby stuff and would need to buy everything. You tend to get gifts of a certain gender if you know. Other than that all of your things would be unisex. That's fine as long as you are fine with it. I think it is more fun to know.

inspite of you do precisely placed him down because the daddy of the toddler on the start certificate. In maximum states, he has six months after the toddler is born to contest him no longer being the daddy. You dont even ought to notify him that you had the toddler. in the state of texas, this regulation became surpassed to guard moms from lifeless beat dads. He ought to nevertheless ought to pay inspite of if he wasnt the childs father in texas if it went previous the date. the rationalization being, is in case your having sex, you recognize you ought to get someone pregant, and also you recognize it takes 9mths so that you've the duty to pay for a a threat toddler. in case you've been no longer married you took this probability of happening. this happens to 70% of black women human beings so count what colour you're, in simple terms understand that is standard on the present time in time. report for nutrients stamps and wic and they'll report expenditures themselve if he doesnt pay you. the money will flow on to them and any money left will flow to you.He can get rights, you cant supply up him until eventually he warning signs papers giving up all custody. If he warning signs custody away you cant get help until eventually you get that in writting. call 211 that's a nationwide united way hotline. Its loose and also you ought to get a referral for something you want like a crib or a psychological help line.

Definitely. Who wants to get stuck with a ton of pink baby things only to find out it's not a girl?

Not only would I want to know the sex of the baby, I would like to CHOOSE the sex of the baby. But we're still a few years away from that.

I think it's a great thing. Sonograms are a good thing because they can see if the baby has any problems or what-not so why not see if it's a boy or a girl? Plus it would be alot easier when it came to name picking, nursery decorating, and shopping for baby things. Of course, I think I would have it be a suprise at leaste once...just for fun. :)

No, I believe that it's against God because he gives you what he thinks that you should have.

Or do you mean just finding out the sex before it's born. In that case I would. But I would never want to choose my childs sex.

We did. They could tell from the ultrasound. I think with the next one we might leave it a suprise though. i don't know.

i liked knowing so we could pick out names and nursery stuff etc.

but not knowing would be cool too so it would be a big suprise when the baby was born
