We had the second and last sonogram today at public helathcare. I must say it was really good this time! The nurse was very professional and told us what we could see in the picture as well as treated us both equally as parents. Also it was the first time someone in healthcare actually understood I am the pregnant one, usually they just start examining my wife. So something good with this belly getting bigger.

We were asked if we wanted to know the sex of the baby. We didn’t think it mattered, genitals tells us nothing so we said sure why not? The nurse tried to get the baby to flash us but it didn’t. Finally it crossed its legs AND put its hands in front of its bum so we could absolutely not see anything. We all laughed and came to the conclusion that even the baby knows its not important to know what someones genitals look like.

We would not have minded to know the sex of the baby, but we would not have told anyone else. We think the baby should get at least a little time to live without social pressure regarding gender stereotypes.
