congrats on your first baby, i am 30 weeks pregnant and since the first days i was preggo i had the feeling of the gender. i did the chain pregnancy predicter  and it worked. it also tell you how many child you will have and the gender :) 

here is hoow a did it. grab any chain with something hanging on it, it can be a ring or a  medal, grab it from the top and let the medal down in your hand, if the chain maks circles its a girl if it make straight lines its a boy. it really works. i hope you can try it! btw. i am having a girl n still dont knw how to name her lol.

I found out because i needed to be proved right lol.  From the moment i found out i was pregnant i felt like it was a boy. And i was right :)  My husband wanted to know because he didn't want to buy something we wouldn't use (ie clothes).   I also wanted to be able to call the baby by his name, and not it, i cringed everytime i said it. His name was peanut until i found out because of the cringe.  

I am now 21 weeks and I have to say that at my 13 week ultrasound I asked the ultrasound tech what she thought and turned out she was right! I'm gonna be having a baby girl and I cant wait to see her!!!

I had a surprise! We had planned a homebirth and didn't see a need to know the gender since some times the baby can hide and we didn't want unnessecary ultrasounds. I only had one ultrasound very early on. I wanted for me and my husband to be the ones who told each other.

I ended up having complications and during the last few weeks I was very antsy about wanting an ultrasound but didn't have one and still wish I had (may have been able to skip some of my induction due to a problem). During my c section though everyone was great about letting my husband communicate to me what we had. It was not the same as I wanted still, and if i could do it over knowing i would have a hospital birth or a c section - we would have found out ASAP in the pregnancy.

Oh and I thought I was having a boy the whole time and like 90% (seriously) of everyone we asked including strangers thought I was having a boy as well. I actually had really wanted a girl the first time though until I decided it was a boy inside me.

I am now 30 weeks pregnant, and wanted to wait and it be a surprise.  However my boyfriend who has two daughters with his ex-wife really wanted to find out, as we really was hoping for a boy.  He finally convinced me to find out and we found out at 20 weeks. We are excited for our son.  We both had the feeling it was a boy.  :)

Update:  After finding out it was a girl at my 20-week ultrasound, I'm extremely glad I found out!  Everybody (including any and all gender predictors I could find) were pointing to a boy, so I probably would have bought boy stuff.  The anticipation had been driving me crazy.  I'm a compulsive planner, so I like to know as many details as I can.  I also couldn't stand the pronoun confusion, so now I can definitely refer to the baby as "she".  I'm also relying a lot on gifts and hand-me-downs (I'm even putting her in some of my old dresses!), so I needed to be able to tell everybody else what I'm having.

I found out at 21 weeks.  I couldn't help myself!!

I personally wanted to know the gender of both of my kids so I could be prepared. It made sense financially for me to know, and I don't like surprises. I had a gut feeling with both kids on their gender soon after I found out I was pregnant and I wasn't wrong! Some people like the element of surprise and some like top be prepared. To each their own. Knowing the sex didn't make me love the baby any less or any more than not knowing. The technology is so good now days too that it's rare for them to be wrong, unless the baby doesn't want to cooperate! Thankfully my abies weren't modest in the womb! Kudos to those who don't find out and can fly by the seat of their pants!
