Was your gut instinct in pregnancy about whether you were having a boy or a girl correct?

[Sparksi]

Just interested.

Keep having dreams of one gender - not sure if it means anything!

We’d be happy with either.

Nope.

I think it’s very common for women to ‘intuitively feel’ that they’re having a girl. This is often because the woman simply doesn’t know much about boys and can’t picture it. On the other hand a woman who grew up with lots of brothers may assume she’ll have a boy.

Didn't find out until birth each time. DC1 - utterly wrong (was very confused when they handed her to me). DC2 I had no idea and also couldn't care less either way. It was very weird after obsessing over the sex with DC1.

Yes, but there are no girls in my husband's family in the past 4 generations so I was pretty sure it would be boys!

Yes, was right both times. I wasn’t convinced I was right at the time, but I do think there was something subconscious as I only focused on names for one sex (the right one) each time.

Yes I was right on all 3. Everybody thought I was having a boy on first pregnancy, I had a girl, my sister even tried to get me to buy a blue baby gro. I then had a girl and a boy and knew their sex.

Yes. I thought my successful pregnancy was a girl and she was. I also think my unsuccessful pregnancy was a boy but we won't obviously get to know whether or not I was right.

1st baby - gut instinct was correct. 2nd baby literally had know idea and 3rd baby - gut instinct was correct. All three of mine are same gender lol

Yes, both times (girls) even though everyone insisted they were “boy bumps”. Didn’t find out the sex until birth both times.

Yes

3/3 times I was right!

Didn't know with my first.

Knew with my second that he was a boy. I just felt totally different.

I had three dreams early on , all of which were of a baby girl. Had no preference, just thought I was psychic lol. Found out defo boy 20 week scan haha.

I knew with dd1 with absolute certainty. DC 2 was also a girl but I had no inkling either way.

I had the clearest dream I’ve ever had in my life about me having a little boy 😅 it’s actually what made me take a pregnancy test. The dream was that vivid.

The test was positive and that little boy is now very real 🙈😅

I was so confident about who he was that I referred to him as a boy all pregnancy and it didn’t once cross my mind to find out the sex 😂 DH was the complete opposite and convinced it was a girl.

DH announced the sex when he was born and was so shocked shouting “it’s a boy!” 🙈😂 I was like 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 “I know!” 😂

had very strong gut feelings

was wrong 2 out of 3 😆

From the moment I knew I was pregnant my strong gut instinct said I was having a boy. But everyone said I was carrying a girl, based on all the usual old wives tales. So then I really didn't know.

I obsessively did baby's sex questionnaires. I remember one of the questions was 'which direction does your head point to when you lie in bed?' Like, what?!

I had a boy.

Both times I was convinced they were boys and they were. I just always referred to them as he without really thinking about it. Didn't find out about DS1 till he was born but found out DS2 was a boy at my scan.
Just couldn't seem to picture myself with a girl to be honest - though it would have been fine if either had been a girl though she'd never have had French plaits for school cos I can't do them!

I didn’t really have tell tale signs that every one talks about, I guessed both of mine correctly, it was just gut instinct at the time.. however when I look back on it now, DS pregnancy was completely symptom free… dd however, I had a bad back, although had no morning sickness, had this intense feeling.. can’t really explain, but it was different.

Yes for my first and utterly wrong for my second. We hadn't even thought about girl names for my second and I kept asking the midwife if she was sure - even after passing me said wriggling newborn.

I really had no idea either time. The people I know who had a strong gut instinct were wrong!

I had a little girl this morning. I was convinced she was a boy. I have a girl already, my bump was different, pregnancy was different. I just felt like we were having a boy. I'm still shocked!

I was right with all 3. I always thought I would have a girl first and I did. When pregnant with ds I dreamt of a teenage boy coming in from football practice and calling me mum. I never saw his face but i knew he was mine. With my dd2 I felt she was a girl and before the 20 week scan I put my hand on bump and asked if she was my son or dd. She kicked on dd. At the scan I was asked if I had an inkling and I told the sonographer the story and that it was my dd. She smiled and said mothers instinct is definitely right in this case. I cried buckets. I've never had a gender preference but dd1 was so hopeful for a dsis and was overjoyed when we told her.

Yes - for both DC (one of each).

No. First time I assumed I was having a girl though. Girls run very heavily in both families.
I was wrong.

Second time I was hoping for another boy but I wasn't feeling anything that time either.

Yes, both times.
