Waiting to find out the gender of your baby at birth also has advantages. First of all there are no mistakes made. No names picked out and labeled. No rooms are painted. And no gender specific clothing purchased.
Waiting to find out can be beneficial even if you really, really want a baby girl. Because, when the time comes and they hand your newborn son to you, you may think he’s perfect! Even if you later start thinking ‘what if..’ this might be less of a problem. Because you already have the happiness of your healthy baby boy being with you. The hormones of labor and birth could help you forget about your previous wishes.
