I didn't want to and my husband did and then he changed his mind a week before our scan! The tech couldn't see at 20 or 24 weeks anyway. I would do the same thing next time, it was fun. I'll admit that sometimes it was a bit annoying not to know. However, my early (in the first 6 weeks) dream of a girl was accurate!

We did with DD, but we won't this time. I think it'll be hard, but fun!

We going out for both of ours. If by some chance we have a third, we wouldn't find out. I think it would be fun

We did with DD, but won't with future pregnancy. I wanted to be team green the first time, but am such a girly girl I wanted to know beforehand if I was having a girl so I could buy all the pink things. And I did!

Nope - surprises both time... I loved it ! The moments when DH told me "it's a girl!" were so special.

100%
But I don't think we would pay to know early. I'd just wait until when we can see it on the ultrasound.

We found out at 13 weeks for DD1 and DD2. Won't get to kniw til 20 wks this time and it's kind of killing me!!! But I guess it's preventing me from shopping, which is a good thing

Yes for both. The first time we scheduled a follow up ultrasound because we couldn't tell gender from the anatomy scan.

Yes for our first 20 week ultrasound. Boy
Did not find out for our second. Boy
Found out at 13 weeks with third. Boy.

We were Team Green for #1, even though I was convinced it was a boy it was still awesome to hear DH announce it in the delivery room. Plan to do the same when it comes time for #2.

We were team green with my first (well, third), but once we found out the baby might not make it we found out because finding out at a stillbirth or abortion doesn't have quite the same excitement to it. Then after losing a girl I knew I'd need time to deal with it if we had a boy, so we found out early via the genetic screening. Another girl!

I chose to find out just when DH was beginning to accept being team green.

We did with our first two. We'll see whether we have it in use to be team green with our still potential third.

Team green all the way! Loved it and will do it with any future children!

We found out both times, I had to know! If we ever had a 3rd (which we won't), I would consider being team green since we have one of each and zero preference.

Yup, have found out all 3 times (first two at anatomy scan, third via blood test).

Yes for both pregnancies. I considered team green for LO2, but I was too curious.

Team Green Dropout! Planning on being tG but my husband changed his mind so we found out at the 20 week u/s. We kept it just between us for 10 weeks and surprised our families with a reveal at the shower.

Team Green x 3! I loved the surprise with our first (girl) as I truly had no feeling either way. With our second, I knew from the minute I got my positive that it was a girl. Everyone told me I only had a 50/50 chance of being right, but I was absolutely convinced it was a girl, and she was! When DH announced it was a girl, my response was literally "duh, I knew that already!"
This time, I thought it was a boy for a while, but am now strongly feeling girl. Not the same level of confidence I had with DD2 though, so it will definitely be a surprise again this time! Only 8.5 weeks left to go, give or take.....
