Hi all im due my 20 week scan on 5th september (2 week this wednesday). I really want to know the sex of this baby. Our first one was a surprise. This one i would rather know. Did anyone else want to know the sex of there baby??
Is anyone due to find out the sex of there baby soon???

Im not fussy what it is i have 2 boys and would prefer another boy. But the hubby is wanting a girl. x

ahhh hope it goes well for you.

Ta Charlie, and you too :)

am really nervouse iv had 2 scans and no problems so far. But i just cant relax have had endless miscarridges since my last son. Finding it hard to even just go buy baby bits. I see things i like pick them up and end up putting them back cos i feel im gonna curse myself. Hoping i will feel more relaxed after this scan. x

I know what you mean, though i've not had the miscarriages, I've only had one scan so far, at 10 weeks, lots and lots of pain and antenatal depression...

I've not bought anything yet, have set myself 24 weeks as my minimum for shopping, i jsut can't face it yet.

Mum and Dad bought us a pram and a cotbed though :D

Same here on the buying, my father-in-law. Thought he would buy a moses basket from car boot. The thought was nice,but wont use it as we decided to buy new for this baby. We never bought lots of new stuff for the others now we can afford to we are gonna buy new. He wanted to get us a pram but we had to say no. Bless him. Am weary of using second hand moses baskets ect. x

Ours are second hand, and the carrycot from the pram doubles as a moses basket if we want, its spotless though, barely used, if at all. So we're jsut getting replacement matresses for that and the cotbed (local supplier happens to be jsut round the corner from us :D) There's no way we can afford new, and dont really want to (we're recyclers and re-users where we can :)) But i can understand why you would :)

My mate is gonna be giving me all her girls stuff if i find out this one is a girl. am grateful for that. how far are u can i ask???. Im 18 week

jsut a week ahead of you at 19 weeks :)

I found out with both my boys. I was desperate to know with my first. 2nd I didn't want to but Steve did so we did. This time I am putting my foot down, if we have another I DON'T want to know!

im 23 weeks pregnant, found out 3 weeks ago im having a boy so i can say when he is born now instead of it,i was hoping for a girl but its my first so not really fussy

As it's our first we just weren't fussed. However, the night before the 20-week scan I realised that we might accidentally catch a glimpse, and so we agreed that if either of us saw the detail then we'd tell the other. As it happens, my OH is convinced it's a boy, although that could just be umbilical cord :hihi:

lol bless him , you can tell the sex of a baby on a csan by looking for certain signs. Apparentl if its a girl you will see 3 dots between the legs. And if it's a boy you will see 1 dot. only what iv been told so dont take my word for it.

I found out with both my children. Our first child, we were so sure she was going to be a boy, we just asked thinking we already knew the answer! But I found that finding out the sex meant we could buy clothes etc. We found out with our second child because of that reason and the fact that I had seen gorgeous little boy's clothes in Tesco that I wanted to buy!!!
My friend is 22 weeks pregnant and she had her 2nd scan the other week. She wouldn't and didn't find out because after her first child she was told she couldn't have any more children so for 5 years she went around thinking she couldn't have any more until she switched doctors and the new doctors said she could! So in her words she doesn't want to find out simply because 'she doesn't care whether its a boy or a girl as long as it is healthy and as this baby is already very much loved, wanted and cherished already' :)

I never did, and I didnt want to (although at the 3D scan with no3 it was tempting...lol) but I dont think anything on earth can beat the feeling after hours of labour to hear the shout of 'its a ....'! lol

When I was having my first 11 years ago, they didn't tell you and I was desperate to know what I was having! I ended up with a much wanted boy. Then when I was having my second, 3 years ago I was desperate to find out again. The 20 week scan came and the baby was laid in such a position that they could see what the sex was. And the baby just wouldn't move! Also because of this they couldn't check the babies heart so I was made an appointment to go back. This time the baby was more obliging and I was told that it was an 85 per cent chance that the baby was a girl. This was good enough for me and went PINK mad! Everything I bought was pink and I took all pink clothes in the hospital with me to bring the baby home in. On the night of my induction I had a vivid dream that they had got it wrong and the baby was a boy and all I could do was think that I would have to bring this baby BOY home dressed in pink! when my baby finally arrived, the first thing I asked was is it a girl?! Thankfully the answer was YES! And though it feels daft now, the relief that it was a girl (simply becasue we had told people it was) was unbelievable!

I was very keen to know, we were expecting twins and I was worried we'd end up with two boys (according to all the books twin boys are notoriously hard work and slow in developing and I'd always loved the idea of one of each).
So I wanted to set my mind at rest, decorate their bedroom accordingly and buy clothing and bedding in colours other than neutral.
We found out we were havinq two girls and bought bedding but waited for the next scan (had lots due to twin pregnancy) to confirm before decorating and buying anymore stuff.
We were also able to narrow down our name choices so for us it made life much easier and I was really looking forward to their arrival.
I'd do the same again and find out.

My darling, wonderful and amazing wife is expecting and I don't want to know what sex our baby is.
Come to think of it I'll be just as happy with a boy or a girl. All I want is for things to be as easy as it can be for Sulis and a healthy baby.

We found out. I don't really get the whole surprise thing. They're enough of a surprise as they are, lol.
As it is, I thought I was going to have a girl, I was convinced of it. In fact, he's a boy, and I'm glad I knew beforehand because I think that it would have taken a little getting used to (along with everything else). I might have tried sending him back, lmao.
Also, I really enjoyed being able to refer to him as him, he, my little boy, etc. Made me feel even closer to him. Had a name picked out for him, and was able to buy all the stuff without having to go 'neutral'.

If I do it again, I'll be finding out again. I know some people really love the whole surprise, but I just don't get it...if I can't find out I'll be gutted. But then again, I often read the last page of a book before the first page, so I'm clearly not so good at suspense.

Good luck to all of you waiting to meet your little people. xx

i go for my second scan on thursday im 22 weeks and its my first so dont want to know the sex of it.
its all part of the surprise when it finally comes.

i never wanted to know with my first and i didnt have a choice anyway as they didnt tell you at that time,but i was convinced he was a boy and bought boys stuff and picked a boys name.(luckily he was)..:hihi:

but with my second i was desperate to know and when i found out she was a girl i couldnt believe it until i actually saw her...but they were right and she was...:D
