What is more fun? Finding out the sex of a baby or waiting until the baby is born? We can't decide what to?

do. We are getting so much pressure from people to find out. We want to wait because this is our last baby. But is that crazy? Thanks for opinions.

Update:

To Mike who said he hopes my baby dies. I have had a stillborn baby at 8 1/2 months. It is not funny but devastating and sad to bury a baby. I hope you have a great day and find happiness beyond your dreams, Mike.

    I didn't find out for either of my two babies, and it was great to find out in the moment. There is a lot of pressure from others to know - it is expected now. But do what you want to. When I would tell people I wasn't finding out I would always have women who told me their ultrasound prediction had been wrong - in one woman's case, it was wrong for two different babies (one boy, one girl). So just wait if you like, and make sure you tell the care providers the moment they show up in the room so they don't accidentally tell you.

    It's not crazy. We waited, on purpose, with both of our babies. I think it's actually more common than most people realize, just because the majority of people choose to find out if they can. If you decide to wait but feel like the people who are pressuring you won't just back off, lie to them and tell them that they were unable to tell what the gender was during the ultrasound.

    It's not crazy if that is what you want to do. I really wanted to know what I was having and I was very happy to find out. Either way it's a surprise whether you find out during pregnancy or after birth, it's just a matter of how you want to prepare for baby. For me it was important to find out but to others it may not be as important and it doesn't matter what others want, it matter what YOU want.

  • Def. waiting was more fun for me! It was an adrenaline rush to hear "Its a ...." after all those hours of labor and pushing!
