To know you going to give birth to the baby boy or girl before you even gave birth child? or know when the child is born?.........I don't like this of finding out what gender is your child 6 month before you gave birth etc. unless God tells me and my wife for a certain pupose like He use to do in bible times....other than that it takes that element of suprise and joy etc don't know how to explain that.........But what do you think guys?

Nathi, the first 4 times I was surprised. The last 4 times I knew and it was helpful in helping us prepare, financially, in a sense. I had 5 boys in a row so we never had to buy alot of new clothes or worry about bedroom situations. Our 3rd girl came last and knowing this in advance helped us make the necessary preparations. My 8 children came in a 22 year span. My youngest child and oldest granddaughter are less than a year apart. |

I don't think there anything wrong with finding out ahead of time, unless you have bad intent. For example, in communist China, they are only allowed to have one child so they will sometimes abort if they find out it's a girl, that is wrong.

Two thoughts on this...
If God wanted me to know, he would have given me a window on my belly. I don't open presents from God early...it spoils the surprise.

That being said, we found out the sex of our child before the birth and it took nothing away from the birth at all. |

I think its nice, when a women is giving birth, and doctors say
"Congratulation you got the baby boy or girl"....giving birth while knowing take away this feeling, i don't how to explain it....natural feeling,that you got by opening the the christmas gift from someone you love during christmas even though they bought it 2 month before.............. After saying that....I don't think it's a sin to know though.........

Need to add one more thing...I knew what each of my children's gender was going to be before they were born...no tests, no doctor telling me...no dreams, words of knowledge, visions, divine revelations...I can't explain it...I just knew. My family thought I was nuts.

Like Violet I had five boys one after the other, had I known before birth their gender, I think I would have been desperately disappointed by number three!
However the battle of labor and delight in this new person always far exceeded any 'oh still not a girl'. Had I known, I would've had time to be selfish and be negative. My husband has a vasectomy after our fifth son, but then we became Christians, and the first thing I asked of the Lord was for a daughter and He said 'yes'! We then spent 6 years going through various trials and battles to see God's promise fulfilled. Through the pregnancy I desperatly wanted to find out if God had kept His promise (doubting thomas that I was) but it wasnt hospital policy to tell. You can imagine our delight when our first daughter was finally born! So yes I knew because God had said, but I had no physical proof. I conceived again, and this time found out because I could. I had believed God had said He would give me a double portion, so I expected another daughter, but it was a son! I asked God why, and I believe He said, 'you wouldnt have believed me for another boy, having already had five, but I have a plan for His life. I was greatly touched by this. And then I laid down my childbearing as I was now 37. The Lord had other plans, and almost three years after my son's birth my second daughter was born! I 'chose' not to find out the sex this time. I had wanted to but a friend of mine said 'dont you will regret it', and I agreed. So again we chose to find out at the end. It is only nine months, you will know what they 'are' forever afterwards! It's like unwrapping Christmas presents in November, it loses what God intended, the wonderful suprise. Gosh just noticed Nathi said similar! Out of the mouths of two witnesses!
