We didn’t have the technology when my kids were born but I still think that I would not have wanted to know the gender of my babies before they were born.
Doctors could sometimes tell the gender in an ultra sound but ultra sound was a fairly new technology then. I was told during my first pregnancy that the way they could tell I’m ultra sound was by the presence of absence of a uterus. Nowadays, the ultra sound is much more advanced.
My OB, at the time, had a reputation for “calling” the gender based on the baby’s heart beat during month 6 or 7. Of course, my babies heart rates were always right in the middle so no guess from my doctor.
I don’t think I would want to know, though. Nowadays, it seems everyone knows way before baby is born. I know it is economically good to know ahead of time and it helps in picking out names. But where’s the surprise?
Would you want to know? It still seems very strange to me.

I didn’t know either and on reflection don’t think I would want to. The truth is in my gut I knew he was a boy, so it was no surprise to me. Did you have a gut feeling, too?

I had dreams. With all 3 if them. I would have a dream and wake up knowing the gender. And I was right all 3 times.

No, I didn’t know ahead of time and I didn’t want to. I think I already knew I’d be having boys (and I did).
