Q: Should I Find Out?
asked by: latoya_bryer on January 2nd, 2004

I had an ultra sound at 19 1/2 weeks and the technician told me she couldn't tell what I was having because the baby was lying on it's back with the legs crossed. I have another ultrasound in two weeks. I really want a son but it wont matter if I have a girl either. Should I found out the baby's sex if the technician can tell? Please help me! Confused Confused

If you really want to know you should find out but if you want to be surprised be surprised its your choice. Whatever you feel is right.

Well
Some people want to find out but I know that's not important. My boyfriend is the only person i'm concerned about who wants to know.

Hi There
Hi, I think that you should find out because you want a son, so then if you are not having a boy you can get use to the idea that your baby will be a girl, and if it dose turn out to be a boy, you will still have some suprises after your baby is born ie what colour hair,eyes and things like that. I found out with both of my children and it didnt spoil any suprises. Good luck in the end its up to you. Smile Smile Smile

I guess it wont hurt anything to find out. My sister is pregnant and she is finding out on tuesday and she wants a boy too. If she finds out then I will too. If not I wont so we can both be surprised at birth. Does that sound like a plan?

I was really excited to find out what I was having. It didn't take anything away from the first time I met him. But this is a highly personal decision that you and your boyfriend should decide together. If he really wants to find out, then you maybe you could.
