How To Prepare For A Baby If You’re Not Finding Out The Gender
I Almost Caved
The Outcome
I told my husband, doctor, and every one else in the room that I wanted to be the one to announce it. When he was out, the doctor turned him around before placing him on my chest so I could see. Nothing can compare to the moment he was finally out and I got to say “he’s a boy.” It was more than worth the surprise to wait and find out in that moment. I really had no idea which way it would go. Not knowing if we had a son or daughter on the way made those first few moments with my second son even sweeter. I wish we would have waited the first time around as well!
Have you ever considered waiting till birth to find out your baby’s gender? Or have you experienced it already?

these are great tips! we didnt’ find out the gender of our first one until at the shower and after we opened gifts ha. it was a great surprise for our guests!
Some great tips! We found out the gender, but we went, as much as possible, with gender neutral — it would make it easier to keep the big items for a second baby even if it turns out to be a boy, and makes giving things away a lot easier, too 😛
I love this! I never find out the gender, not after 6 pregnancies! I love the surprise!
That is amazing! It is the best surprise
aww, i really wanted to wait and leave the gender as a suprise for my first baby but then when it came down to it i just couldn’t – i needed to know straight away! I have no patience!
It’s hard to not find out! I almost gave in a few times
We are currently 31 weeks along and we are not finding out! So exciting!! Whenever anyone asks how are you planning, I just tell them we are planning for a baby!! Can’t wait for that wonderful moment when we find out and meet him/her 🙂
You won’t regret it!!! It’s seriously so special!!!
Great post for buying for someone who doesn’t know gender either
The ultrasound revealed it was a girl and we had PLENTY of pink around the house… So it was a HUGE surprise to have the midwife put my baby in my arms and look down to see we actually had a boy!! (Yes, even with modern technology, this can happen) It was so shocking and delightful that we’ve decided to not find out the gender the next time we have a baby 😊
