Anyone got a "feeling" about their baby's sex?

[MsHopey]

I've been thinking about this and would like a long running thread about people's feelings and guesses and what sex their baby turns out to be.
With DC1 DH was adamant it was a boy, I did have a preference to a girl but particular feeling about what we were going to have . . . We had a boy (I love him more than life and I am do glad he is who he is).
I am now 15 weeks pregnant with DC2, private gender scan booked for the 17th of this month, I now have a feeling it's a girl, and DH doesn't have a thought either way. DH thinks my feeling might be wishful thinking, but I have less of a preference this time and don't really mind what happens as long as baby is healthy.
Anybody else have a "feeling" that was right? Or even wrong?
And if you have a feeling now, but haven't found out yet, still let me know and we can update as and when we find out.

I was convinced I was having a boy and I did! Someone I work with pointed out that whenever I referred to the baby, while pregnant, I would always say him, he etc, I had no idea I was doing it!

[tomhazard]

My hunches were right both times (girl then boy!) but I never found out ahead of their birth. I based it all on old wives tales so clearly I just got lucky on my guesses !

[bubbles092]

I was definitely certain I was having a boy, and turns out I was right! He is a boy who is now 2 years old.

[SuperstarDJ]

I was convinced last time I was having a boy and the baby was a girl. I had no feel sense this time but everyone is saying to me ‘it’s a boy, I just know/I can tell’. It’s actually another girl so they’re all wrong

[Unicyclethief]

It’s a sex scan not a gender scan.

[Marcipex]

I was completely sure both times, and correct both times. It wasn't about preference, I just 'knew'.

[Furble]

I’m 12 weeks and already convinced it’s another little boy. We have a two year old son already. I’m not going to find out beforehand though so I’m in for a long wait to see!

[WitchyMcWitchface]

I thought that most people would like a boy first (though not desperatel) and having had a boy then want a girl.
So the people who 'knew' the sex of their babies had a boy and then a girl.

I'm currently 18 weeks and had a private scan last week to find out the sex. I was convinced I would be told it is a boy as all my weird pregnancy dreams are about boys, old wives tale is that you are more sick with a girl (I've only been sick once), and a very scientific Facebook quiz said it would be a boy. We are having a girl so my intuition was way off!

[MsHopey]

It’s a sex scan not a gender scan
There's always one. You can even see I wrote sex in the title. The scan I have booked and paid for is called a gender scan, is advertised as a gender scan, and is commonly known as a gender scan, stop being so pedantic.

[Unicyclethief]

It isn’t pedantry. A gender scan makes absolutely sense. And you have a 50/50 chance of guessing its sex correctly. So knock yourself out.

[bumblebee39]

Not finding out but pretty sure it's a girl. Dc1 female DC2 male. This feels more like my first pregnancy did and they were very different. Not finding out though!

[Whitescarf]

I'm 17 weeks and both me and DH feel like it's a boy! Which then makes me think it's going to be a girl

[summacummamumma]

I knew very early on my bump was a boy. I just really really knew!! And I was right...I say trust your instinct, a woman's knowledge of her body is a powerful thing..

[Bluejay19]

DH and I were convinced we were having a boy for no other reason that a feeling and possibly wishful thinking. We were both surprised when our DD arrived - wouldn't change her for the world I absolutely love having a little girl (more than I ever expected I would).

[WishUponAStar88]

I didn’t find out until my babies were born but was wrong in the sex I thought they were both times

[PodgeBod]

With my first I wasn't sure but I wanted a girl and had one. My second the pregnancy was so different, I was absolutely certain I was having a boy, it was another little girl. I even had them double check at the gender scan
I have no idea how some people get worked up over calling it a gender scan either. I've only ever seen it on here.

[FrazzyAndFrumpled]

I’m 15 weeks with DC2 as well OP. Is it weird that I don’t really have a sense of whether baby is a boy or a girl yet? So far my pregnancy is similar to when I was pregnant with DS... so I could go with boy? We’re not going to find out until delivery day so a long wait for me too. If the thread is still going in April/May, I’ll let you know!

[SoyDora]

I thought that most people would like a boy first (though not desperatel) and having had a boy then want a girl

Why?

[mamahanji]

I had such strong feelings both of mine were boys. Called them boys names. Not because I wanted a boy, I just really felt they were.

Both vodkas

[mamahanji]

*GIRLS!!

Not vodkas!!

[FrazzyAndFrumpled]

WitchyMcWitchface, I agree with SoyDora, why? I had/have absolutely no preference with either pregnancy. Having DS, I think it would be lovely to have another boy and see them play & grow up together, but also think it would lovely to have a daughter and experience that.

I kind of think that whichever sex I have this time, I might need to go for DC3 to have the opposite! But I’m not having 3 children!

[DaffydownClock]

I guessed right with both of mine, no idea why.
Two completely opposite pregnancies and I was convinced something was catastrophically wrong with the middle pregnancy and I was right with that too sadly.

[FrazzyAndFrumpled]

sorry to hear that DaffydownClock

[MsHopey]

Having DS, I think it would be lovely to have another boy and see them play & grow up together, but also think it would lovely to have a daughter and experience that.

This is why I don't really have a preference this time, for the exact same reason. There will only be 20 months between them and I think 2 boys would have more in common and hopefully a friendship. But it would be nice to have a girl because I don't already have one.
