[suemurray]

I'm five months pregnant and my husband and I are thinking about finding out the sex of our baby!! But were not sure if we should! Its our first... Any advice?

I agree with PP. We also stay in team green and it's not as hard as you think. In fact it drive all our family and friends crazy but it's quite fun to watch, hehe... This is our first baby so we were keeping all the big ticket items gender neutral for the next baby anyway. Plus baby will staying in our room for the first few months so there's plenty of time to dress up the nursery later. In the meantime baby will be wearing a lot of white, yellow and green. I will admit there's less option for clothings out there but the plus side is that it keep us from over spending. Baby out grow their clothes in lighting speed, or so I heard. We already have two set of names pick out so we're anxious to find out who will we meet when that day finally come :)

I didnt find out for this pregnancy or my last and its really not that big of deal to me... i think either time you find out is gonna be just as exciting but to me its fun to keep that curiousity excitement to the end :) its a fun feeling to think of all the differences inbetween if its a girl or boy.... also picking names has that excitement of "what if "too... when you know what you having and you know the name already all the mystery is gone... i know lots say they dont want a gender neutral room or clothes but realistically the baby room doesnt get used for the first bit anyway so there is lots of time to paint and get whatever you want, you can still plan out what features you like prior... my friend has her mom and sister booked for painting after baby arrives and i got sooo many clothes right away that i never had an issue with gender neutral at all lol As far as baby items go like stroller, exersauser or whatever you want to get that in gender neutral if you plan on keeping it for the next baby anyway so its not a bad thing...
Either way if you find out or not i dont think in the end the excitement of being prego gets dulled lol its really up to you...well that is if baby cooperates ;)  Congrats on your pregnancy! take care!

Hmmm. I wanted to find out as i couldnt wait. I even paid for an early scan!
If you plan on having more children u could save later pregancies for a suprise and find out this time. It really is great knowing and you can plan easier. I dont like neutral colours for a girl so i wanted to find out as i would hate to have lots of neutral things for her. A boy would have been ok for neutral colours but thats just my opinion.

It will just be how you feel on the day. You can always change your mind if you say no first of all and have a private scan!

Good Luck!

Can you stand not knowing for the next 20 weeks??
I'm too much of a control freak, I've found out all three times so that I could get everything ready!
