Do we NEED to know?

Donot worry and get tensed it will lead to unneccessary health problems. Read some good books, pray to god, relax your body for a while and do some meditation if you like. These will be much better than simply thing. Yeah whatever you have speakout. good luck, have a easy delivery and god bless you

Thanks for your advise. I guess you're right, I am making myself worry and tense and it's not good for me and the baby. But actually, now that I was able to blurt it all out, I think I feel much relieved and my attention was called to stop thinking too much about it. :)

You're right AmbiePam. I think we'll go for this one - a biased ultrasould. Joke! At least then we'll both give each other what we wanted and won't feel bad anymore. Thanks for your advice. Appreciate it really. God bless!

Thanks also ronaldinu.:) You are very straightforward and I appreciate you sharing on this discussion. It really was already giving me a bad feeling in the past days especially last night because we both were getting insistent on depending our own sides. But you're right, as for me too, I wouldn't really care that much whether the baby is going to be a boy or a girl, I'll have the same ecstatic feeling because it's our baby!!!

That's really nice eshaan. :) I'll add those things on my list - less expense & no effects for baby. Yes, shopping is easy, I may buy all the necessities and delay the others that can wait until the baby is there already. Thanks for your advice. :) kit

Thanks junmae! I am going to do that tonight-- we'll have a heart-to-heart talk so we can finally put an end to this since it is already affecting both of us and our relationship. God bless!

Thank you also apoljuice1! All your responses actually stirred my excitement for my coming baby, it felt like when I first announced it to everybody - family, friends, office mates. lol I guess we'll have a compromise for us to finally have a good night sleep. (What if he fails to keep his promise and makes himself obvious a week after the ultrasound??? I surely wouldn't be able to control myself and might give him a good kick!! Just kidding!) :) You are ALL so kind and friendly and I will always be thankful I have a family here in MyLot. God bless you. :)

Actually this is our third and as planned, would be last baby since I'll be having my ligation along with this caesarian delivery. I had an ultrasound for our first because I wanted a normal delivery but the OB doubted and ordered an ultrasound. Turned out that my baby's head was bigger than my pelvic bones so I had C/S. Of course, the baby's gender was released with the reults. :( My second baby was small and I could have had a normal delivery but the OB ordered another ultrasound due to her position (which turned out to be BREECH, so I had another C/S). The ultrasonologist called my husband in while he was checking me and even showed him the genitals of our coming baby without even asking me permission (I can't forget that day!). This time, the OB no longer needed an ultrasound prior to my delivery since it will be risky, she said, if I make a normal delivery. I will definitely be delivering via C/S so I'm taking this chance to skip the announcement thing but I think my husband already got used to knowing what our baby will be. Anyway, you've enlightened me that we both have to come to terms on this decision. I was quite presuming I have the right to demand since I was the one carrying the baby??! lol.

That's wonderful! You made me remember my dad, sir. (We live an hour away from my hometown and I really miss him). But sir, is it really that disappointing for you guys to expect for a boy and have a girl instead? I think I wouldn't know that since I already have a boy and a girl and it wouldn't matter to me whatever gender the baby will have. I only pray that he/she will be in good health. My husband, as far as I know, wish the baby will be a boy... (maybe that's why he couldn't wait anymore).. And I'm glad sir that you liked the way I write.:) Thanks again!

Hi! 'Just got home from work. :) Anyway, I also told him that before... ultrasounds may also sometimes give a wrong gender due to the baby's position, but he said it was worth a try. I asked him to fetch me from work tonight and when we entered the bedroom, I automatically turned on the laptop and told him I couldn't resist posting the topic on MyLot. We viewed the responses together. He hasn't spoken yet but I told him I will just post replies to all of you while he prepares himself to bed. I hope we agree on this tonight... Thanks a lot and God bless.

That, I will do really- to let him speak out his heart first... After him though, will be my chance to speak out. hehehe I'll tell him that also- it's only two months. Ohhh, I'm so keeping my fingers crossed... Thanks!!!!

You're right Cherwin... we need to swallow our pride to get over this otherwise we'll both end up with nothing. Thanks for reminding me- I'll watch over myself on how far I should go with dealing on this issue. :) Thanks!!

That didn't cross my mind! It's the best idea actually because this way we'll both be satisfied. I'll tell him this... but I hope it will serve its purpose (he might not tell me what it's gonna be but if he buys BLUE clothes, then that's it!). lol
