I am loving it!! Very fun to see things from the other side, be able to buy clothes and omg.. NAMES. So happy to focus only on one gender. I don't think you'll regret it at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150976 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 09:12:38 +0000 KtinaL 2150976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't find out with my daughter but now that baby 2 is on the way I am obsessed with knowing!! I'm wondering if I will regret finding out too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150895 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 08:22:07 +0000 MoreCoffee 2150895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No regrets with our first! I had nursery ideas in mind for both sexes and loved decorating a "boy" nursery once we knew. Seeing all the little boy stuff at my shower just added to the excitement.</p> <p>I was always adamant about finding out beforehand, but since my mc I've shifted perspectives for some reason. I think if we are able to have another I might like to be team green even though that means our potential girl might inherit a lot of boy-themed gear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150859 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 08:02:37 +0000 NovBaby1112 2150859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: exactly! This time I had to know if we needed to get a bunch of boy stuff or just reuse M's stuff, but next time it'll be easier to just wait bc we will have both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150791 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 06:37:54 +0000 hilsy85 2150791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: yes I would totally do it for #3 especially bc now we have one of each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150780 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 06:24:13 +0000 travelgirl1 2150780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No regrets, DH and I struggle so much with names, we could never ever cope with the stress of picking a first and middle for each sex every time. I love finding out during the scan! But, we don't tell many people IRL so they get a surprise at the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150770 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 06:12:02 +0000 NovBaby1112 2150770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No regrets at all! As much as I would love to be TG, and that may very well be the case if we have a third, I really wanted to know last time and this time. I like to be as prepared as possible, and I just like finding out early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150760 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 05:21:34 +0000 ValentineMommy 2150760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely prefer knowing and would find out again. </p> <p>As for telling OTHER people....that's a different story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150748 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 00:23:29 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2150748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I preferred knowing. It helped me plan, pick names, and bond with my always hiccuping tummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150665 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:51:22 +0000 daniellemybelle 2150665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all! I loved knowing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150633 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:33:08 +0000 blackbird 2150633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipper2010: @FaithFertility: wow, I have an ultrasound pic that says "boy!" Right next to his penis lol. You could always have them put the photo in an envelope if they label scans </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150605 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:17:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2150605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipper2010: @FaithFertility: huh- that never occurred to me. I'll check at my first appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150604 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:17:29 +0000 skipper2010 2150604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Haha that's a great idea!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150599 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:12:40 +0000 FaithFertility 2150599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipper2010: My OB office couldn't put it in writing either so she said she would write congratulations either in blue or pink.......lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2150573 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 19:42:53 +0000 skipper2010 2150573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Just a heads up if you plan on finding out by having them write it and stick it in an envelope you may want to call ahead to see if they'll do that for you. A friend of mine went through this recently and it was against policy to put it in writing. Guess it could become an issue if they're wrong. I think most places are pretty lax about it, but I'd be upset if I got there with a plan, and wasn't able to follow through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2149629 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:55:57 +0000 Mamasig 2149629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No regrets. I found out twice and I will again. I love knowing who is in there. I can call him by name and imagine him in our family. I think finding out is special no matter when it happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out/page/2#post-2149566 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:15:33 +0000 Mamaof2 2149566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no regrets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149561 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:10:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2149561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: yes- I think if I have an envelope in my hand saying it, I'll have to open it! But if I get out of the scan and don't know, fine. </p> <p>I kind of wish Dh would just be adamant that we find out, since I always said he could choose for this one. But he's as on the fence as me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149540 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:45:17 +0000 Alivoo01 2149540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No regrets and would find out each time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149529 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:33:34 +0000 Tidybee 2149529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: I agree! I think if we had left the u/s place without the envelope I could have stayed :teamgreen: . Knowing it was in my hand was more than I could take.<br /> With dd, I was so curious until the scan. And I was totally fine with staying team green. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149526 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:29:08 +0000 catlady 2149526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No regrets. I had a previous m/c and was having trouble getting excited about the new pregnancy. Finding out she was a girl really helped me bond with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149525 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 07:24:21 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2149525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im right there with you. I was team green with our first and while I never got the Hollywood announcement after delivery I was anticipating I still was happy with my choice. We found out with my second because we were moving and it was nice too I guess. We are pregnant with our last and Team Green again and while part of me kinda wants to know I think ill regret it too since its our last so I'm sticking to ir. The way I see it is you find out no matter what in the end. Its not some secret you have forever there is an ending date and you'll find out eventually. Its just sooner or later really </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149480 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 06:05:59 +0000 creativemomma15 2149480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Never regretted it. I loved making their rooms for them and feeling a little more connected. We also wanted to know when it came to names! Only having to pick one name was awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149468 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 05:12:04 +0000 Dandelion 2149468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I loved connecting with them by knowing who they are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149462 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 03:22:20 +0000 Ree723 2149462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were TG for both but like you, I really wavered on whether or not to find out for LO2. I'm so glad we didn't though! I feel like it would have been a bit anticlimactic to hear it during an u/s, particularly as we had to bring DD1 to the scan with us and probably would have just been like, oh, that's nice. Also, it was nice to have the surprise factor again and made getting through the last weeks of pregnancy so much easier!</p> <p>For me, the hardest part was getting through the 20 week scan without finding out. Once that scan was over, it was a huge weight off my shoulders and I was ecstatic that we didn't find out. There is nothing like pushing your baby out and hearing the magic words 'it's a ____!' But that may just be me :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149450 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 01:41:50 +0000 lemondrop 2149450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero regrets finding out, I needed to know to help myself bond with the baby more. I'll definitely find out ASAP if we have a third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149443 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 00:29:21 +0000 youboots 2149443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I found out at 34 weeks after being TG originally. I was so drugged up and stressed at the end of my 43 hour induction it would not have been as great as finding out totally clear headed. I feel like I had the best of both worlds by finding out late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149441 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 00:22:12 +0000 Corduroy 2149441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want to find out with LO1 but we thought we knew the sex after the anatomy scan so we opened our envelope. We were wrong so I was kind of bummed I had given up on TG -- until LO was born. After my delivery I was so glad we had found out before. </p> <p>This time with LO2 we also decided to find out. No regrets there either.</p> <p>Honestly, I don't think I'd have regrets either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149439 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 00:16:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2149439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We've found out three times now and still feels like an exciting surprise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-regret-finding-out#post-2149436 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 00:04:14 +0000 lamariniere 2149436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: same for me. I was desperate to find out both times and it really helped me bond with the baby more, think about names and kind of imagine the little person inside of me, especially the second time. </p>
