I didn`t want to find out the sex before birth, because I didn`t want to be disappointed. I really wanted a girl and thought if I found out at 20 weeks it was a boy, I`d be upset. But if I waited until birth, it wouldn`t have mattered because of just the joy of having a healthy beautiful baby and the excitement of the day. Well, I waited and got my girl anyway. :) This time we`re not finding out again. I`d like another girl, but know I`ll just be as happy with a boy. I just want a healthy baby. :)

I did find out the sex of my baby before delivery but I still want to comment. I wanted a boy and my DH wanted a boy. The ultra sound lady said the baby is a girl and she is 90% positive. I just had this gut feeling the baby was a boy so I still hoped for a boy up until I delivered. I had a girl. She`s only 3 months and now that her personality is starting to show, the gender is less important. Don`t get me wrong, I want a boy still but I`d be fine with giving my little girl a sister too.

I had always said I wanted ALL BOYS. Four boys would do me just fine! I have two younger brothers, three cousins, my mom has two brothers, and my dad has a brother...there are no girls in my family (besides my mom). I only ever babysat boys. We never found out the sex at the ultrasound and were definitely surprised when we had a little girl last March! I loved her to bitsies the first time I held her, and I think I would have been sad to have it the other way. But maybe it`s because I think about not having her. Anyways, I was so elated at just having my baby, the sex didn`t even matter.

windchime~ for women who say they COMPLELTY DONT CARE what the gender is at least a tiny bit... arnt telling the whole truth. Of course gender matters to every pregnant women, thats not saying you dont wish for a healthy baby, thats just stupid. thats like saying, I dont care about the baby as long as its a girl` some people just want to put crappy comments, trust me...I know. Ive gotten a few myself. To be honest, and THATS why were ALL here sharing stories as well as experinces...when I found out I was having a boy, I cried. I was disapointed. I wanted another girl so bad. dont get me wrong, I was still really excited to be having a baby, but I was sad. Then I saw that handsome little face!! and I was SO glad Ethan was Ethan!! and Now I can honestly say I am so happy I had a HAPPY baby boy! now Im 11 weeks...and we decided NOT to find out this time, only becuase I already have one of each...not saying Im not hoping for that girl still!! lol... so... I think if you are worried about being disapointed, isnt that your answer right there??? find out, so you can prepare yourself!! Take care and I hope you get whatever gender you want!! and I hope you have a healthy HAPPY baby like Ethan!! take care!

Please no more comments like the ones below. Of course I know that a healthy baby is all that matters. But I can`t help having a preference - many moms do. I just want to figure out if I should find out at ultrasound to avoid being disappointed on the day the baby arrives. And don`t criticize me for thinking I might be `disappointed` - it`s not as strong of an emotion as it sounds.

I agree with the comment below -- gender should NOT matter so much, the only concern in your mind should be that your baby be healthy, mentally and physically. Nothing else matters.

why does gender matter so much? i was excited either way. especially if you want more than one child, it shouldnt matter because maybe next time youll get what you hoped for.
