My hubby made the suggestion that we find out what we are having but keep it a surprise from our family. Are we selfish? I know personally I'm gonna have a hard time keeping the secret.

i've only known just over 24 hours that i'm pregnant and i'm already having a terrible time trying to keep it a secret.  thank goodness i have CM lol.   we want to do an announcement and gender reveal all at once so i have to keep quiet until easter.  one day in and i'm already going nuts.  lol.  no it's not selfish.  if i wasn't so horrible with surprises and anticipation, i'd wait to find out the gender until birth.

No.  It's no one's right to know what your baby is.  if you find out, it's your decision to share or not.

1 mom liked this

oh--   Well then THEY can get pregnant and learn the gender prenatally.      ;- /

 lol

Are you planning to have any ultrasounds?     If not then it's a non-issue...
