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.

@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.

@skipper2010: My OB office couldn't put it in writing either so she said she would write congratulations either in blue or pink.......lol

@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

I preferred knowing. It helped me plan, pick names, and bond with my always hiccuping tummy.

I definitely prefer knowing and would find out again.
As for telling OTHER people....that's a different story.

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!

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.

@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!

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.
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!

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.

I was in this exact scenario and we opted to find out for this pregnancy.. 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!
