any chance of a sweet newborn pic?

I read this as any chance of a sweet newborn pie? ... I was very confused, leaning to horrified - she's not going to cook the baby, you monster! Grin

@NameChange30 you made me go and have a further look, the 'stat' stuck in my head from pregnancy. When DH told me there's no way of guessing or any motherly intuition - he was right in my case!

A pretty weak study was conducted on first time mothers who had no bias for sex and apparently 78% of mUms got it right. As I said it was pretty weak and it's in a google search so not peer reviewed but pretty interesting. Anecdotally most of my friends guessed correctly :)

"Stats show that mothers instinct is usually right (I think about 75% of first time mothers guessed correctly)"

Sounds like nonsense unless you have an actual source?

The only person who "guessed" our baby's sex was the sonographer at the 12w scan who clearly saw that he was a boy, and asked if we wanted her to "guess" (presumably because she's not allowed to say it's a boy at the 12w scan).

Anyone else who actually guesses might as well be flipping a coin.
