What did you prior team greens do at the anatomy scan when they have to look at the babies genitals?

@littleblessings: They didn't let me watch the screen for my anatomy scan anyway. She had the screen turned to the best view for her, and at the end she showed me but avoided the genital area at my request. It depends on the U/S clinic or hospital, sometimes they don't let you see anyway.
Alternatively, if you tell them you are TG and they do let you watch the scan, they will turn the screen away when they are in that area.

@littleblessings: Then they would just have you turn away or turn the screen when you might be able to see something.

Team find out as soon as humanly possible. Dh won't even talk names until he knows what we are having.

I was team green for my first (had a girl) but we're planning on finding out with our future babies. I felt like I couldn't connect to the baby as much while I was pregnant. I'm thinking that if I know the gender I'll feel closer to the baby while pregnant. I dont regret being TG the first time around though because everything is neutral and it was great hearing my DH tell me we had a daughter

I want to be Team Green for our next pregnancy! We found out for our daughter, but mostly because my DH and seemingly every family member wanted to know. I'm really superstitious about naming a baby before it is born, so I think it will be easier to stay slightly detached if we don't know. I also would like to have that moment to find out at birth, just to change it up!

We found out as soon as it was possible! We'll do the same next time! I am just too impatient, and finding out the sex made the whole pregnancy feel more real for some reason. Plus, I wanted to name him!

We found out with our first son and we were team green for our second son. If we have a third I would like to find out asap. I didn't feel as connected to DS 2 in utero as I was for DS 1.

@lawbee11: a girl! So my intuition was right each time and now we have 1 of each! So much fun!

We are team green now, and I think we'd do it again. I like the guesses about boy/girl and I think it keeps conversations more fun!

We plan to find out with the first and be team green for our second.

Green for sure! I am about to have my first, a son, in a few weeks, and while I am so excited and happy to know he is a he, I always wanted to be surprised. However, his dad REAALLLY wanted to know, and I was trying to start off our family with not making all baby decisions myself : )

@Chaosmaven: Finding out at birth was insanely cool. DH loved being able to tell me we were having a son (he took some convincing to get on board). It was a lovely moment.
We were TG for LO #1, and will be again for LO #2!

DH has already put his foot down about being team green this time and we haven't even started TTC! I am very anti team green but I'm sure I will respect his wishes. We have a 15 month old son.

We were team green with our first, and loved it!!! Now that we are considering a second child, I see the appeal of finding out at the anatomy scan. We will likely be team green again, but it would be fun to do it differently.

We are about to TTC our second. I will be team pink, DH will be team blue! This should be interesting!

I'm impatient so there's no way I could wait. DH is luckily the same way. We found out with my son around 19 weeks and will do the same with the next baby.
As far as what team we will be on next time, both of us don't really have a preference. It will be our last baby since we only want 2 kids, so it would be nice to have a girl to have one of each, but I think it would be great if my son had a brother, too. DH is convinced we're only going to have boys.
