Is It Better Not To Know Your Baby's Gender? Here Are 5 Good Reasons Not To Before Giving Birth

Most couples nowadays find out their baby's gender before giving birth. But is there any advantage to waiting for nine months before learning about the gender of your baby? Here are five good reasons not to know your baby's gender before giving birth.

1. A Rare & Unique Surprise

A pleasant surprise is very rare in these present times. Finding out your baby's gender as she comes out of your womb can be one of the most pleasant surprises you will ever experience in your life. You should also consider the fact that you will have an experience that is unique from the experiences of most parents your age since not a lot of people wait for nine months before finding out their baby's gender.

2. It Can Raise The Hype & Anticipation

"It's actually kinda funny that people now feel like they get to know every single detail of your life every single second it happens (thanks, Facebook)," Scary Mommy explains. "Make them wait."

3. You Won't Get Baby Clothes As Baby Shower Gifts

People's instinct when they are buying gifts for a baby shower is to buy baby clothes based on the baby's gender. If the guests do not know the gender, they are more likely to get you gift cards and other useful gifts.

4. You Can Learn The Virtue Of Patience

One of the best ways to learn about the virtue of patience is to wait for nine months before finding out your baby's gender. When you are about to lose your patience in the future, you can look back at how patient you were in finding out your baby's gender for nine months. This might help calm you down.

5. Reduces The Risk Of Gender Disappointment

Reducing your risk of getting disappointed is one of the most important advantages of not knowing your baby's gender before giving birth. "With a lovely little baby in your arms, it's much harder to feel disappointed about anything," Belly Belly shares.
