dd's spooky premonition?

I'm just posting this as proof of what my 5 yr old dd said, in case I find myself pg in 2 weeks time......

I'm pretty sure I ovulated on 21st, so that night dh and I did the bizz....(as you do!)

The next morning, I went in to see dd when she woke up and sat on her bed. In her sleepy state, she sat up and said "Mummy, why do you look so beautiful this morning?" (I thought I looked a mess, post-bd hair etc...)

Later that afternoon, she gave me a note. (She has a little pad of paper and new pen that her R teacher gave her at the end of term last week and her current 'thing' is to write me little notes.) It had a load of names on it. "What are these for?", I asked.

Get this....."They're names for the new baby you and daddy are going to have"!!!!!!!!

I swear she knows nothing about our little secret, so this really spooks me. What will it mean if it turns out I'm pg???!!!!!!!

my ds knew i was pregnant before i did!!

my dd keeps talking about our new baby. My dh and I have been ttc - I thought she had just caught onto the fact that we wanted another baby - maybe not, how spooky would that be.

Lets hope she's right Wifeof++

(My dd told a mum in the playgroup "my mummys gonna have a new baby" a week before i found out! They must sense these things!!)

One more spooky story to add: My dd knew that we were expecting before I did the test. (I suspected that I might be but hadn't told anyone including dh) She wanted to know what I would name a baby girl so I told her and then she asked what we would name a baby boy. When I explained that her daddy and I would need to argue over boys names as we don't like the same one she smiled and said not if you have twins!

12 weeks later, I found out that we were in fact expecting twins. Sadly, I miscarried but they were boys... Scary really.

Canadianmom, sorry to hear about your twins .

This is all so intruiging! I wonder if there's any scientific proof to children guessing/knowing/feeling - what is it?

Obviously I don't know yet but will let you know if she's right!

They do say that children are more open to pyschic matters etc., as they are so matter of fact about things. It's only as we get older we block thangs out .... hope she is right!

Canadianmom, I too I'm sorry to hear of you loss

that is really spooky. I am sure children are very psychic. My Mum swears I could switch the hall lights on and off as a child without moving from my bed.

Wifeof and angelpoppet, hope they are right!

AF today so I won't be proffering dd as a psychic prodegy...

However, to add to my inner turmoil, she appeared this morning with her Baby Annabelle (which she hasn't touched for months), switched on and crying, insisting that I hold and feed her. Had to go off for a sniffle.....

My dd1 was weird with dd2. From about 8 weeks pregnant on she started telling people that she was going to have a baby sister and that her name was Lotte. I wouldn't mind but that was the name that dh and I had agreed BEFORE I even fell pregnant AND I'm 90% confident that we never discussed it around her. Also as I'd had a miscarriage we had gone out of our way to keep it from her and everyone else. She was 2.10 at the time. If you suggested that it might have been a boy she would go appoletic (sp? - nuts!). DD2 is called Lotte. DD1 is now 4.5 and has recently picked up on death. She regularly announces that one of us is going to die - I used to panic every single time. Sort of got used to it now.

They do say that a third of pregnancies are lost before they get going - what I'm trying to say is there was a possibility that something could have been gearing itself up.

Good luck next month!
