Huge fight over babies gender?

First of all- we have 3 children and with the first 2 we found out- with the 3rd we didn't. We are expecting number 4 and ultrasound is later this week.

I don't want to find out the gender. After enduring pregnancy and a c-section- having the gender be a surprise at the birth is something I look forward to and am looking forward to.

For some reason all of the sudden he is stuck on finding out- he claims "my family NEEDS to know" and he has himself convinced he and they can all keep it a secret from me.

That is a total lie- he never can keep secrets and since this is our last baby- I would be crushed when it slips out.

Second of all- his family who "needs" to know- has never met a single of our children, or even myself. NOT ONCE- they live all over 10 hours away and never can manage to find the time to come meet their grandchildren. So that pisses me off- why does a family who has nothing to do with us "NEED" to know the gender before the baby is born?

We got into a HUGE fight today, because i was upset and told him I really don't want anyone to know- and he basically told me, that i can not find out- but he is finding out- and if it upsets me that much- then i just need to learn a better way to deal with it.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR My ultrasound is this week and I seriously want to just cancel it or get a divorce- I don't know what to do. =(

    You're the patient Hun, as soon as you walk in to the room, tell the tech that you don't want to know the sex and would appreciate it if they would keep this quiet and avoid showing any shots that might reveal anything. If he kicks up, threaten to have him removed from the room and explain that this baby is about you and him, not about keeping strangers happy.

    Make your first words to the ultrasound tech be "I do not want to know the gender, please do not tell us." I would hope she would be willing to honor your wishes. As they say, it's easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission :) Good luck!

    just let him know the sex, if itll make him calm down its much more worth it, and if you dont ever talk to this family of his, then the only one who you would be at risk of finding out from is him...
