ferguson_tom Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hi Everyone Next week we have the 20 week scan and so we can find out the sex of the baby. Question is should we find out? As it gets closer and closer we keep changing our minds and get different people telling us different things. The room is already decorated so that wont make any difference and we have plenty of baby grows and stuff so practicalities are all sorted. So it all comes down to you lot to see whether we find out or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky T Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I think that some decisions you need to sack up and make by yourselves! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtailhawk1 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's nice to know so that you can decorate room and buy cloths etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have answered NO purely on a personal level. If it were me all I would want to know is that the baby was doing OK and developing well, the sex of the baby I would like to have as a complete surprise! Others however may feel differently which is why I agree it is a presonal thing between the couple concerned! What are your partner's thoughts on the matter Tom as I believe that she is the one you should take most notice of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 This is a personal choice, I would say no and let it be a surprise. As long as the baby is healthy that's all that matters I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) This is only meant to be a bit light hearted and see what other people felt when they had theirs. I know its a personal decision between us and it will be but it is nice to talk about stuff with other people. My wife is as bad as I am and we keep on changing our minds every minute. To be honest it makes no difference to us whether its a boy or girl, it goes without saying the only thing i am interested in is it is healthy.

Aled Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 With our first Child (a son) we chose not to find out, and with the second (9ja girl) we chose to find out. Got the best of both worlds! Tight Lines Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 We didn't want to know, despite all sorts of weird people trying to "pressurise" us into finding out :blink: There are precious few surprises in life these days, everybody seems to want to map everything out in advance to the minutest detail. **** that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Son and partner are at the 20 week scan as I type ( we looking after 20 month grandson ) , they already know its a girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangBangNik Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'm torn. On one hand it would be nice to know, ie if it's a lad you can start looking for a cheap .410 and if it's a lass you can get the **** out of there But on the other hand I would also like it to be a suprise. All in all it's up to you but it's going to be a tough decision an I don't envy you. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 The surprise on the day is all part of the Joy Yep I agree with that. That's what we did but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks for all the replies everyone, seems as though most people didnt find out. Its all down to Mrs. A now. I have feeling the decision will be made in the room on the day as we change our minds so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeastshooter Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 we didnt find out as long as its ok i dnt care got 2 months left to go lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyvonk Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've only got a week and half till estimated splashdown now - we never wanted to know, as others have said, so very few real surprises left in life anymore - and it's not as if you can change your mind at that point anyway.

jasper3 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 ive put no ..you will love the little thing no matter what...more fun not knowing and pamper that young lady of yours..it may just help not getting you buttons ripped off your shirt when she's giving birth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 If you find out which youre expecting, there's always a remote chance deep down, and only for a fraction of a moment, that you'll feel a tiny tiny bit of disappointment that it isn't the other, IF You don't find out, Whichever is delivered, Is a Joy and A treasure to behold Ohh, GOOD LUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you of all people should know by now that your wife would not be a true woman if she didn't change her mind too often! On a serious note, I hope all goes well for your wife, the baby and you, and I wish the three of you good health and happiness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeds chimp Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 we did not find out. Its one of my best moments when the nurse came over with "the bump" put the legs behind the ears and let us both see at the same time it was a boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 We did on our fourth because we had had 3 girls previously, number 4 was a boy. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many surprises left when you get older, enjoy the 'not knowing' and dont be like the other modern impatient sheep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Sweepy Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I didnt want too know though the Doctor at the hospital did slip up on my last check up(second child) and kept saying boy I went on the thought that if i didnt know the sex Then when the going got tough during labour it would be something exciting to thing of as i went though the pain And it did help. xxxxSuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
