Not finding out the gender?

[1+2+3boys]

I'm not finding out this time.
I'm going to try not to allow myself to think of a particular gender. Even though it will probably be a boy.
I had slight gd with Ezra, and still do in a way but he is the love of my life. I have amazing boys.
If next is a boy, I'm sure gd will set in a little but again. But way back in my head.
To me you go in 50/50, never a guarantee so you chose to get pregnant and can't complain too much. Also I might avoid any ultrasounds if possible. I want the excitement at birth.
I'm lucky I can have kids, when so many out there cannot. I'm not going to get over caught up in gender. Each are such a blessing.

That is a good way to think if you can. I think I would try to think along those lines if I got DS4.
I am nervous about the 20 week scan if I do decide to go team green. My partner likes to boast that his sons all inherit his decent sized man hood because it is has always been super obvoius at the scans. With DS1 it was the first thing we saw waving at us!

With ds1 he had a vagina until I found out it was a penis a week before birth when the tech said "Wow his scrotum is Huge".

Oh my goodness, what a shock that must've been! That is one of the reasons we decided to be team green for all our kids. I feel like people being told the wrong gender contributes a lot to gender disappointment anyway.

I wanted a boy first, and I swear I never truly believed he was a girl. With that being said, putting away all the pink clothes was still hard and I cried. But in the end I got my boy.
And another. So I have boy stuff and girl stuff, so no matter what the next gender is I'll be somewhat prepared. And if my girl wears blue at first does not bother me!

I totally agree with this!!! I know quite a few people who didn't even have a gender preference until they were told one thing at a scan.

With me and DS 3, when I got pg I had no gender preference (I never had a speck of GD with DS 1 or 2 and was a happy boy mom for 13 years). I just wanted another baby. But all the symptoms, OWT, and that FFF-ing Chinese Gender Predictor were all girl, girl, girl so I got my heart set on that. And he's the most boyin'est boy who ever boyed. He makes my other boys look like the Kardashians.

I'll be for sure finding out if I can next time.

My first baby was team green. However all the old wives takes indicated PINK. I formed a GD without knowing. My OB one day said he though it was a girl. I believed he secretly knew. Everyone around me thought it was a girl as well. Although I tried convincing myself and others of be happy with either sex I was 110% sure he was a she.
After a hard labour an one I won't forget ever. My partner announced it was a boy. My heart sunk. Loved him cared for him as I should have but didn't bond. It took me months to bond. Infact I truely believe I never bonded with him properly until after my secon son arrived. Something I feel horrible and shame about.

My second son, my partner found out at the US. I knew he was a he but of course hoping it would be a girl. Little bit upset but mostly elated. Had a vbac with him and because I knew the sex I bonded with him before he even came out!

So for me it would be best I found out.
