Nan639 (1418.4 days ago) 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. :)
captshelley (1419.2 days ago) 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.
windchime (1419.4 days ago) 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.
Lou-Li-Ro (1419.4 days ago) 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.
lovefranky (1419.4 days ago) 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.
