Who announced the sex of the baby to you? Your SO, doctor or a nurse?
-
Dh, but the nurse had to remind us to look! We were both almost in shock that she was finally here and forgot to check.
-
The doctor because she was whisked away to be checked by the NICU staff.
-
My dh was supposed to but I glanced down and was like I knew it was a boy lol. we were all in a state of shock bc he was having trouble breathing.
-
My husband. I had no sort of birth plan or instructions for my doctor and nurses except that they BETTER NOT announce the sex to me because I wanted to hear it from my husband!
-
DH announced and confirmed, but I could see as she was born.
-
I wanted dh to announce. When she was born Dh said "it's a girl!!" At the same time the nurse said "it's a boy!!"
I was extremely confused and obviously believed the nurse as she's a health professional, but then dr confirmed my husband was right
-
I ended up with an emergency cs so the Dr announced.
-
The doctor or nurses announced it. They were like, "Whoa! He's all boy!!!"
-
DH announced it. He was so excited to tell me it was a boy!
-
@char54: haha too funny!!!!
-
We had put on our hospital forms that DH wanted to announce, but we weren't expecting at the time that I would have a c-section. In order to announce, DH had to stand up and look over the "curtain" and it took him a minute to focus on the baby and not the gore of my open belly! After a minute he was like "Ummm, it's a girl?" He sounded quite unsure...but he was right!
-
Cute, my DH announced but I was so overwhelmed with having her right there on my chest it wasn't a big "announcement".
-
DH! I was SO SURE DS was a boy that when DH said "It's a boy!" I had no idea what he was talking about! I was like, "yeah? of course!" Then I remembered we didn't know yet! I was just so overwhelmed by the baby being born, that I wasn't even that interested in the sex!
Ahh...that kind of makes me want to be team green again. I think we are going to switch it up and find out this time.
-
D did. "A boy! It's a boy! Honeybee we have a son!" is the clearest memory I have of that day!
-
DH told me. I told the dr that if possible I'd like DH to be able to make the announcement to me. It was twins and I can very clearly remember him telling me each time. It's a sweet memory.
-
@lovehoneybee: same here, it's the clearest memory I have!
-
Our daughter did at my last birth (she was 6) - DH confirmed
-
@Ginger333: That is awesome!
-
I announced it! He was put on my chest and it was so obvious, it's the first thing I thought to blurt out.
-
@lovehoneybee: I want that type of announcement if we go team green in the future!
-
I don't even remember! I was looking down expecting to see boy parts (I thought for sure she was a boy) and when someone said girl I didn't believe them. I think I said "Are you sure?!"
-
DH did! I had a scheduled c/s and can still hear him making the big announcement to me. Loved it!
-
My doctor both times:
DD: "indoor plumbing, it's a girl"
DS: "learn to duck, it's a boy" -
No one said anything at first... I think the staff was used to parents already knowing. Maybe a few seconds after her birth, I asked, and the Dr turned her around so I saw for myself. I was so shocked because everyone thought we were having a boy.
-
With our first, my husband said it. The second time, the pediatrician told me. Both times I had to ask. "Hello, people? Giving birth here. Throw me a bone?"
-
DH did both times! With our first, he was so overwhelmed that the midwife had to prompt him to look. He then got all flustered - the umbilical cord was in the way and he wasn't sure whether or not he could move it... Eventually the midwife moved it and he could see it was a girl!
Second time around he was much better - as soon as she came out, he said "it's a girl!", to which I replied "I know" as I'd been convinced she was a girl from the start.
-
@SAHM0811: Same for us. No one gives the big "it's a boy/girl" announcement anymore! I had to ask!
-
@Ree723: I know....awh!!!
-
I had to ask! I had him and they started wiping him up and I'm sure it was only a couple minutes, but I was like "What is it?!" DH said "It's a boy!"
