You know...it might be hard on both of you, but your husband can find out and you be surprised. I don`t know how well that would go, but it`s an option. I wouldn`t be able to do that...I wouldn`t be able to bring a baby home to a boring room...you can only handle so much yellow, you know!? :) Best of luck with evrything!

In the back of my mind i was hoping for a girl and was wishing the ultrasound lady would say girl, however when she said boy i didnt even care i started to cry and so did my husband.. i think most women have an idea of what they want, but if you want the gods honest truth.. you dont care at all.. when the lady told me boy i was so happy because it felt so real, for the first moment in my pregnancy it felt like i had a baby, and it was the first time we ever called him Dominick. Its speacial no matter what the gender is. Youll see!

I had my heart set on a girl and only picked out girl names--I`m glad I decided to find out because it`s given me time to warm up to having a boy--and naming a boy takes a lot longer (that`s my personal opinion--the names aren`t as cute). I`m not sad anymore that it`s not a girl and I`m picking out a lot of gender neutral stuff for the day when I do have a baby girl. In the meantime, I wouldn’t change anything—I’m already totally in love with the little guy!

I just found out our new baby is a boy and I am so over the moon! I have 2 girls and the second one I swore was a boy, but when I found out she was a she I was disappointed and sad for a while. Now I am thrilled to have had another girl; she is too precious. One thought I can give you is this, with our first daughter I had no idea what we were having because my husband wanted to wait (she is 14 now). I wanted to know, but he won and we didn`t find out. A couple weeks before my due date I became sick over night with pneumonia and had a temp of over 103. I had to go to the hospital and they admitted me. After they did an ultrasound they discovered I had dehydrated and lost a lot of the water; so they induced me. I was in labor for many hours and did not progress; I was sick, hungry, tired and miserable, finally they gave me something for pain. The next thing I knew they were flipping me over and were being very urgent. The nirse came in with the doctor and told me Ihad to have an emergency c-section because they were losing the baby`s heartbeat. They put me to sleep and I had the c-section. After nine months of getting fat, hemorroids, being sick,not sleeping, yada, yada, yada - everyone else knew what I had long before I did. I was heartbroken. In recovery I asked the nurse what I had and she said, ` Oh sweetine, you had a baby!` AHHHHH!! I have found out with the last two. Now I know first!

I agree with the first 2 answers. My husband already had a daughter from a previous marriage so he REALLY wanted a boy. I was always a tomboy growing up so I wanted a boy because I have no idea about the dresses and make up and what not. All of the old wives tales pointed to me having a boy, our family was convinced we were having a boy, I ever had dreams I was having a boy. LOW AND BEHOLD.. little girl :) And we both could not be happier, was I diappointed? Yes, at first, but seeing the baby in the u/s and putting a definated sex with the image..picking out a name...etc all made it that more real and made it possible to bond at a deeper level before she came. :) congrats!

I agree with vismum. My hubby and I both wanted a boy A LOT, and when we found out we were having a girl, we both were a little disappointed. I was over it quickly just because seeing the baby in the u.s was so awesome to me, but my hubby on the other hand had to get used to the idea of having a daughter instead. He couldn`t be happier about it now, but thats because he had time to let the reality of the situation set in and start thinking about how it will be with a daughter instead of a son. Also, it is fun being able to pick out gender specific clothes and items before the baby gets here, but if you really want to wait then do what your heart tells you.

My husband wanted to have another girl so I am really glad we found out the gender before the big day. We are having a boy which we are both thrilled about of course but if one or both of you is secretly hoping for a specific gender I would absolutely recommend finding out! I know my husband had started to imagine a little girl in his mind so I am very glad we found out- now he can imagine a little boy in his mind!
