Would it be wrong to lie about knowing the sex ?

Is it bad that I'm tempted to not even tell anyone when I get pregnant? No one even knows that we are TTC. We already have 3 boys so of course everyone would assume that we are having another only because we want to try for a girl. We are TTC because we want to add another child to our family. Would we love to have a girl? Of course! That's why I'm on this site. That being said we would also be thrilled to have another healthy little boy. I really don't want to hear all of the comments and sympathy. My husband really wants to be team green. I'm not so sure that I can do that. Maybe I will just tell everyone that we aren't finding out but we really will. Sigh.

I lied about knowing the sex throughout my entire pregnancy. To everyone. I knew it was a boy. No one knows that we knew the gender before birth. I just couldn't deal with it. Fortunately, now that our 3rd boy is here, no one has made any comments that they otherwise would have had they known it was boy #3 when I was pregnant! We plan on having a 4th, and will go high tech so we know it will be a girl....but frankly, I just probably will not tell anyone I'm pregnant until it is dead obvious. Too many comments. Too many opinions. I just don't want to hear it!!

with my 5th boy we found out what we were having and kept it a secret
if asked i would always say i hoped it was a boy.
when we do eventually fall pregnant again we will be doing the same thing.

Good question. I'm not even pregnant yet but I know I'll end up with a third boy even with swaying so this has been on my mind too. I'm going to lie and say we are hoping for another boy. Only my mom and hubby will know the truth although hubby DOES actually want another boy.

TBH although my dh is the only one that knows about our swaying i think all my friends know i want a girl and wouldn't be having a third if i had a pigeon pair ;-s
