Was your first instinct gender guess right?

[Dianeleeds]

Hey folks
just thought I would see what the stats were so to speak on how accurate your first instinct re:gender was?

I'm 8 weeks and feel certain I'm having a boy.....only got another 12 weeks to go before I can find out for definite

[TakesTwoToTango]

Yes, three times.

[LorryHen]

Yes :)

[YouMakeMyHeartSmile]

No. Convinced boy both times, 2 girls.

[mamalovebird]

Yes, with both my ds & dd.

[Thurlow]

Yes. Just knew it was a girl, and it (she!) was.

[OhHolyFuck]

I was with ds1, wasn't sure about ds2 and not sure about this one either although had a very vivid dream the other night about blue balloons so maybe it's trying to tell me it's ds3!

[RoganJosh]

I was certain each time and wrong all three times.

[rootypig]

Nah, I thought boy - most people do. Someone did a piece of work on it, let me see if I can find it. It argues that in our culture male is considered default, female exception.

[Cric]

Nope!! And I was convinced!

[Roomba]

No first time - was sure DS was a girl.

Yes second time - never ever considered for a second that DS2 would be a girl.

[SeekingTheSun15]

With 3 of the 4 yes, very strong feeling of knowing. With dc2, I didn't have a clue.

[SycamoreMum]

Yep. I kept saying 'she' rather than he/it/baby. The scanner lady laughed at my 20 week scan when I said I know its a girl and boom!

[S2b16]

First baby, I didn't have a feeling at all-she was girl
Second baby I was sure was a boy on basis preg was so different-she was a girl
This baby I had a bet with dh that it was a girl as I was so sick, craving sweet things, Chinese prediction said girl-3 scans have said he's a boy......Yep I'm pants at guessing lol

[MrsGentlyBenevolent]

I'm convinced I'm having a boy, only because I've been reading too many old wives tales. Hopefully find out tomorrow, priority is making sure everything is ok, then hope baby will be an exhibitionist!

[Gillian1980]

Yep.
Convinced from the second I found out I was pregnant that she was a girl. And this was despite me spending 35 years saying I'd like my first child to be a boy!

Of course I don't mind at all - I'm absolutely thrilled :)

[JoanJettPack]

Yes, with all three. All were boys and although I carried then all differently, I just knew :)

[applecore0317]

We were convinced it was a boy, and we found out at a 17 week private scan that we are having a girl. Hope they were right, my family have gone shopping mad... Only one week till my due date :)

[Frolicacid]

Yes! I always 'knew' we'd have a boy, even before I was pregnant.

[Poppytime]

Wasn't sure with my first but with this one I thought it was a boy (no reason why really!) and just found out I was right!

[DramaAlpaca]

Wrong all three times.

[badg3r]

I was sure DS was a boy as soon as I found it I was pregnant... so convinced I went round telling everyone it was a boy. We didn't find out for sure till he was born. Good job I got it right or I would have looked a bit silly telling everyone our "boy" was a daughter

[Hophop987]

First time was convinced DD was a boy,so was wrong.
This time I'm convinced it's a boy again, will find out in couple months time if right this time

[HotSteppa]

Right both times.

[littleostrich]

I never had any preference but as soon as I found out I was pregnant I had a really strong instinct that I was carrying a girl - I felt like I "just knew". On top of that, all of the old wives' tales for gender prediction suggested I was having a girl, and my interpretation of 'skull theory' pointed to a girl too (no nub visible)...

All wrong, we had a boy!

[TropicalHorse]

Nope!
