I loved it. We had a terrible time picking out a name. (I finally threw up my hands and made DH choose!) We already had a little boy, and while some may feel uncomfortable not getting girly things for the possibility of a girl, I didn't really care, because this kid was going to wear brother's stuff anyways.

For me it was fun to imagine a boy or a girl. And the moment when DH announced that we had another little boy was amazing.

So I was team green up until 34w, I have GD and am getting more oversight, M really wanted to know and we had another ultrasound so we opted to find out. I feel like I got the best of all worlds. I was able to do the nursury and have our shower without a bunch of pink or blue. We were just as suprised and excited as we would have been at 20 weeks. Also I have been able to pick girl clothes and choose a name.

I thought I would be more sad about missing that moment where they say it's a ....... In the delivery room, but I'm surprisingly content with our decision. You could have them write it down and just put it away. I found myself really anxious to just know around 30 weeks.

I think people who are Team Green are really into it, so I've never met anyone who was TG and didn't love it.

We were TG for both of our kids (#1 is a girl, #2 is a boy) and it was so fun the entire time. I bonded with the baby right away when I found out I was pregnant both times, and the hubs always felt weird talking to my belly both times, so he said he wouldn't have bonded any more pre-birth anyway (knowing sex vs. not knowing).

He's getting snipped on Friday, but if we were pregnant again, we would be TG again for sure!

@QBbride: So far we are loving it! I am going to be 30 weeks tomorrow and haven't felt the urge to find out. Our LO is the result of IVF after almost 3 years of dealing with IF so finding out that we were pregnant was far from a surprise so we wanted to have some of that experience at some point in the pregnancy

My first pregnancy there was no way we could be Team Green. We were so impatient and knowing the sex and being able to refer to her by her name before she was born was really neat. My second pregnancy we decided to be Team Green and that was cool too. That moment when DH told me it was another girl was so special! I'm not sure if I was just too busy chasing my toddler around or if it was also because I didn't know the sex (and therefore the name) that I didn't feel as connected to #2 while pregnant. But looking back I like that I got both experiences.

I was team green and LOVEDDD it. My husband told me what baby was, and it was such a magical moment. It was important to him to not find out, and he totally convinced me. We also didn't want to pick a name until we met the baby, and I think if we knew ahead of time, we would have had our favorites vs. meeting baby and seeing what s/he looked like.

With that said, we might find out the next time around. I think it's a surprise no matter when you find out, and for planning purposes, it might be nice to know. - If we did find out, we'd have the tech write it down and put it in an envelope. I'd want to open it with just the two of us.

I loved everything about it!! It was the most amazing moment when my husband announced the sex after my LO was born. I never felt any disappointment and I feel like the anticipation is so much fun. I can't wait to do it again.

I don't know of anyone who was team green and regretted it- you do find out eventually after all! Although I don't know of anyone who found out during the pregnancy and regretted it either.

We were TG with LO1 and found out for LO2. I loved both ways, I never felt like the announcment in the delivery room was that big of a thing bc we'd thought he was a boy all along and he had some breathing issues for a moment so it was really rushed.

Loved being team green so much that we're doing it again with this pregnancy!
