No. I think that practice shouldn't be allowed. 😠 It ruins the whole experience and excitement of having a baby. I found out with my first two and I sadly regret doing so. The experience I had with my youngest in not knowing was enough to drive a person insane but there is no greater surprise in life than waiting to find out. Besides...if I find out it would disqualify me from the gender pool. 😞
😳 There's the engineer in me, doing the math... 😳

...I'm just not sure yet if it's best to have another girl or bring a poor unsuspecting little boy into the mix. 😕

Besides...they aren't always 100% postitive when they tell you the sex of the baby...they have been known to be wrong. Could you imagine going out and buying all sorts of things expecting a little baby girl and then coming home with a boy!

PLUS...for those of you out there that have endured natural child birth, that little part of you that doesn't know what it is gives you an extra oomph to want to push it out and get the guessing over with. 😛

Originally posted by mokkoI will admit it would be nice having a boy thrown into the mix. But on the other hand, I already have everything I could possibly need for a girl.

I never said it was detrimental, I just asked a simple question, and you chose to lie in your answer, while trying to ridicule me with your smiley. Up to you if you want to be that way.
You do realise that b ...[text shortened]... reply "yes". I'll refer you to my original question regarding those times.

lol...I'll keep "explaining" till I'm blue in the face. 😛 but ya...if she does she does. 🙁 I just hope she doesn't...or better yet....I hope the baby is positioned the wrong way again and the doctor simply won't be able to tell 😛
I didn't want to know the sex of my baby, I feel it's nature's biggest surprise - none other like it. I had boy and girl names and no clothes in pink or blue - lots of other colours to choose from!
And mistakes can still be made during scans - if they get it wrong it is totally wrong!!!
I think it would be nice for you to have a boy Mokko, it's a different experience to raise a boy. Just make sure he doesn't grow up to be a grumpy old man like some of the guys on this thread 🙂
