Why don't you find out the sex of your baby before it's born like a normal person?

Question

I can't believe how prevalent this is! When someone tells me they are expecting I don't even ask the sex because so many people don't want to know. When I hear they have decided to deprive themselves of this pertinent information it makes me want to scream! Let me get this st8, you have sonogram and then for some faulty reasoning that defies logic you decide not to find out? Spare me the I want to be surprised reason, you get that when they tell you (I'll never forget the moment I was told). Forget the some times they are wrong reason, with today's technology (we're in the 21st century, that never happens anymore). Forget the I don't want to be disappointed reason, if that's true then you'll need time to accept it before the birth. Forget any other possible silly reason, they're aren't any. Numerous reason to know: only need to select one name, can prepare the baby's room, baby shower gifts easier to buy, one less thing to worry about during over whelming delivery. SCREAM!

I'm right as rain. I'm laughing at the silly responders who site the surprise factor, no sale, you get the surprise when they tell you, some how you missed that. Others feel the need to tell me it's their choice, no kidding, it's completely your illogical choice. To the not accurate people, they can actually identify the clitoris, so sorry but no sale.

There's a difference between not wanting to find out and not being able to find out.....duh.

Of course it's a personal choice but if you make the poor decision not to find out, that's fine, just don't try to justify it with logic because there is none, period.

At least one responder wasn't able to figured out that I am a father, so I know. Also, I said no logical reason not to find out and I haven't seen any to the contrary. Come on, comprehend the question! Coming up with a name is difficult so the "novel" idea of coming with a girl and boy name is just a silly joke of a solution, please!

Lastly, instead of carrying 'it' you are carrying 'he' or 'she'. Game over, I win.

Answer 1

I totally understand your point! It not only helps you as a mom prepare, but all your friends and family have it a WHOLE lot easier when it comes to buying gifts. :)

Answer 2

Just because you wanted to know what your baby was, doesn't mean everyone want to run out and find out what there having. I also know women to find out and there sonogram was wrong, I think it depends on the person, some people love the joy of the doctor saying its a boy or a girl for the first time. I have a question for you, what if your partner had a sonogram and they told her it was a boy and you were excited, but it comes out a girl?, I think you would be disappointed, and just think you didn't have time to accept it. This can happen and has, it is a great feeling finding out what your having but I think what i love most about it is that I have the choice to find out or don't find out. That is what the 21st century has brought us, to be able to make choices.

Answer 3

It relies upon on the guy.....my enormous round abdomen replaced into not a turn off for my husband. He replaced into reluctant contained in the starting up, as he idea it may damage the twins. lol and in view that i replaced into having 2 little ones, my abdomen replaced into wide by the time i replaced into nearing my due date! i necessary stitches after I had the twins, or perhaps although they healed after a week......even as me and my husband began having sex again - it replaced into extremely uncomfortable. We waited until eventually i finished bleeding, which replaced into 4 weeks after giving beginning. And no, our sex existence hasn't ever been an similar in view that! i replaced into (nonetheless am, lol) so exhausted for all time, i replaced into purely too drained for sex. and then once you DO attempt - between the youngsters will awaken and/or cry!!! the youngsters are somewhat older now and existence is somewhat more convenient, so we do have sex.......yet not as a lot as we used to. this isn't the case for everybody one although.

Answer 4

I found out with my daughter, but I don't think I will next time.

It's not important that I know what the sex is - it's not like we sprayed the wall with pink paint and used big bold letters exclaiming that it's a girl. I didn't have a baby shower until two months after my daughter was born. The sex of the baby isn't something you 'worry' about during delivery. All of your reasonings are just as faulty.

It's just that much more special if you wait.

Kind of like the debate "Why get married" It's just that much more special.

Answer 5

Forget about waiting... I am 6 weeks w/ my 3rd & we are so anxious can't wait to know. I can not understand how some can wait soo long. I am a mom that if having a girl has all pink & a boy all blue. Yellow & neutral ...no fun. I think it is excitting enough to be able to meet & hold your new baby at the hospital, I do not need the suprise of knowing what I will be having

Answer 6

True story. My brother and wife had been told by the doctor that their daughter would arrive on time, everything was going well. Lauren, what a nice name. The day of, she had to be induced. After many hours of struggling, out comes my new nephew. Had to repaint the room, buy new clothes, the works.

When you have a baby all you need is a car seat, a bunch of onesies, blankets, diapers, formula, bottles, some washclothes, Dreft, and a cradle. It's no real inconvenience to wait on knowing the sex of your baby.

Answer 7

I did find out, but I could care less if others do. I don't think people should just to make YOUR life easier, get over it. Plus, your definition of "normal" may be different for others. Just because you are a father doesn't mean that you know what other parents want.

Answer 8

My goodness, it's a 50/50 chance!
It's not like it's puppies or something.
How hard can it be to deal with?
My 1st had the legs crossed during the ultrasound, and my 2nd's umbilical cord was in the way. So even though I tried, and would have liked to know, I didn't get to, in either case.
I had a girl the 1st time around and a boy the 2nd. I got lucky on that 50/50 deal huh?

Answer 9

I didn't have the problems of "coming up" with a name because I had decided long before I ever got pregnant. I had two names picked out and I ended up giving my daughter the name I had chosen as a girl's name...Notice I said I made the choice. I did not even consult my husband. I figured if HE wanted to name a baby the HE could get pregnant gestate to term and have natural childbirth in order to do it. As for you mr. "i'm a father" Why didn't YOU give birth instead of your wife. Come on you're so smart, I'm SURE you'd be able to handle the childbirth expierence.

Answer 10

Some people choose not to know before hand that is thier right... Just because you find thier reasoning flawed doesn't make it any less valid...

You wanted to know... that's your choice... Let others have thier without you petty ridicule and attitude.... Grow up and learn that others will not always choose to suit you and that's alright or continue to live in your fantasy world of me me me i am right.. You seem so happy there ranting and raving about something that is none of your business...
