I found out the sex with both of my pregnancies....it is very practical to find out, I mainly found out because hubby already had 2 boys and if honest i would have loved a daughter and at the time didn't expect to have another baby.....turned out to be yet another boy for my husband... and a 1st son for me.
I think when it comes down to it, it really does depend on how organised you want to be.
As a woman expecting her 1st child all I wanted to do was to shop for baby clothes....which I did with a venegence and knowing the sex made it much easier...though hubby would say it wasn't easy on the bank balance!!!!.
With my second I found out because I "felt" very different than I did with my 1st, so I really couldn't wait to know...it was a daughter.
I was considered quite old with both my pregnancies 35 with my first and then 37 with the second, another consideration is are you planning on having anymore...maybe have a surprise with the 1st and if you are having a second then you could find out the sex with that pregnancy.
I think it helps you make a connection with the baby too, as you can decide on a name and use it when talking to the "bump"
