I am a new follower from MBC. Thanks for stopping by during my rough time.<br /><br />I didn't find out at all with my first child but I did find out with my daughter. Both experiences had their pros and cons. I do think five weeks is amazing. With my daughter, I was turning 35 so they wanted me to do a blood screening for chromosonal abnormalities at about 12 weeks. They told me they could also tell me the sex at that time. We were tempted but it cost CRAZY money and not covered by insurance so we waited until the ultrasound. There is a little fun in waiting. Five weeks... wow! Hey! I am a new follower from MBC.

That is amazing. The only issue I have with finding out the sex of the baby at 5 weeks would be the emotional fallout that might occur if something were to happen to the baby. We lost babies at 8 and 12 weeks, and it was hard enough as it was--I would NOT want to have known the gender of my lost babies. I think it would have added to my pain. IMHO Wow! That is amazing.

Doesn't mean we'd necessarily tell everyone that early...but it's crazy what technology can do! I would want to know, but I’m impatient like that.

I did everything neutral just in case. It was a girl, I'm just sort of silly.
