Will you find out the gender of your baby before birth or will you wait to be surprised?
If you have other kids did you find out early or was it a birthday surprise?

If I were to have another, I would find out before. I've never been good with surprises.

We found out at 20 weeks for Julien and would probably do the same if I got pregnant again.

Hells yeah, I would find out. I consider that my half way prize, lol.
Found out at 18 weeks with Jaxon (after trying unsuccessfully at 16 weeks) and 13w4d with this baby.

 Jessie! Halfway prize...
I didnt really care one way or the other with Charlotte but dh did, so we found out. Next time I think I would like to wait, but I don't know how dh will feel about it.

Well, Xander was supposed to be a girl, soooo.... Yeah.  We decided not to find out next time around, the surprise of finding out it was a boy was awesome and we'd love to wait til the birth.

I found out with both Phinny and Aden, but I also accurately predicted the gender both times 
this time around I also just *knew* it was a girl, but we were thinking of being on team green since we already had one of each. I decided to find out anyways, and I don't regret it at all! I was driving myself crazy because I wanted to buy all this cute girly stuff and I didn't feel like I should, just in case I was wrong.
I honestly wouldn't have been surprised at the birth either! I just have very strong intuition about things like this

I'll find out again. I like to know while pregnant . It makes it easier to pick out names and shop. It's still a surprise just a bit earlier.

Oh heck yes. I knew without a doubt Conner was a boy so finding out wasn't really a big deal for me but Nic didn't believe me We're definitely finding out with this baby too. I can't handle surprises.

If we ever decide to have another baby I don't think I want to find out before hand. I think dh really does though so if we do find out we'll just keep it between the two of us.

We found out with both and would continue to find out ahead of time if we were to have more. I like to know ahead of time to shop and get ready. With this little boy (and even a little with Matthew even though I wanted a boy) I needed a little time to get used to the idea of having a boy and once I do it makes me get more excited for the birth and things to come.
I can see how a surprise would be awesome too, I just can't take the suspense!

Edward was my birthday surprise. We didn't know until he was born. With Preston and Mason, we found out, just to know. If we have another one, I don't know if we'll find out. I'm sure I'll have another boy anyway. And I'm happy with my boys. At this point, I don't care about having a girl. I knew with all 3 boys from my own instinct anyway!

We found out with Chris but was unable to with Alissa so I got both sides and I HATE not know. We found out with this baby because I just can't do the whole not knowing thing again, not for me. Since this is last baby, we had twice we found out and once we didn't.

I found out with my last three but when I get pregnant again I don't want to know. This will be our last baby and I want to do things different this time since it will be my last chance!! DH doesn't think that I can hold out and he wants to know but I told him that he could find out but I didn't want to know. We already have a girl and boy name picked out so the name part is taken care of.

I will be finding out for sure. DH and I are people who NEED to know lol. Plus I'm not huge on gender neutral things so it would make shopping easier.
