Any moms out there regret finding out the sex of the baby before it's born?

We are 17 weeks pregnant and have an ultrasound June 1. My husband has always said he wants to wait until it's born to find out the sex. Now last night he tells me that it's up to me. I don't know if should or shouldn't. I was wondering if anyone has ever regretted finding out the sex before it's born?

Trust me when I say im happy I found out with my son and going to with this one too.. cuz I had alot of yellow and green and I hated those colors on him lol.. but its up to you really if u like netural then go for it but if u like fun and funky id find out.

This is my first, I decided to find out the sex, we are having a little girl. The thing is tho I still have this little thought in the back of my head wondering if she is really a he and they are wrong lol. The reason the wonder is there is bcuz its happened to a few ppl I know, where they are told its a girl and it turns out to be a boy. My step-mom was told she was having a boy and it turned out to be a girl lol. I think even if you know the sex there is still plenty of wonderment left, like what will they look like, what traits will they have, ect. To me, I thought if I found out the sex then i could be better prepared when the baby gets here. We have lots of pink lol, so hopefully she remains a she and isnt a he, even tho I would love him/her either way! :X I hope this helps you make your decision a little easier. Good Luck and Congrats!

I'm very happy that we found out.....it kinda help my excitement.

Being a first time mommy also I think the suspense of labor pain and what its gonna feel like to hear his first cry is enough. Lol

I've had two so far and never regretted finding out. I just found out the gender of this baby, and no regrets so far either.

Once I found out everything became so much more real and I think it makes it easier to bond with the baby before they're born.

I've had 2 previous pregnancies...I did find out with the first one bc I wanted to be "prepared". I loved knowing and bonding with my little girl even before she was born. The only thing is that when it came time for baby showers, since everyone knew it was a girl, we got a ton of pink clothes and no "stuff". Essentials like diaper genie, swings, high chairs, bath tub, towels, etc...you get the idea. Everyone loves shopping for little girl clothes!!!
With my 2nd pregnancy, we had twins but did not find out gender...it was nice to surprised in the delivery room, but I didn't get a shower bc we were going to wait until after and since we ended up with 2 girls, we already had a ton of girl stuff...
So, I kind of wish we had done it the other way around. Not found out with #1 and found out with #2. My advise is, if you want to find out, do but don't tell...or my friend just had a shower where the only gifts allowed were diapers and gift cards. You will always get clothes after the baby is born!

I don't know the sex of my baby and its driving me insane. Buying neutral clothes is such a pain in the butt and I see stuff i wanna get n its either blue or pink. I see gorgeous little dresses or dungeree sets and I want them but I can't get them yet because I don't know what I'm having. I'm due un a week and the only clothes I have are vests and sleeper suites. Can't wait to meet my little one and then go shopping lol. Getting baby stuff ready will be so much easier if you know and it won't make it ant less special.
