Do i believe a psychic when she says i am pregnant?!!!

psychiccynic · 17/02/2008 20:38

So, yesterday dh and I went to see a psychic, for no real reason other than we felt like it. The psychic we saw had been recommended by a few people to us and was very accurate in what she said (DH and I had seperate readings).

She correctly identified we had a young daughter, things about our work, our home, friends, relationship etc and was quite detailed..

however she told me that I would have another child "very close in age" to my dd (who is 6 months). I gave the the look of an absolutely horrified person () and she said "I dont know what to advise if you dont want the baby because I am not often wrong with those things". She then read about my career and said "pregnancy" !!!! (I am due to return to work in 2 weeks!)

now DH told me that when he had his reading th psychic said "you're wife is pregnant with a baby boy"

now, I do not want another baby at this stage in my life, I would have liked a 3-4 year age gap at the smallest, but obviously now I am panicking.

Are psychics wrong about these things? I really dont want to do a pg test because then I feel like I am giving in to my worries and the sensible side of me tells me its a load of rubbish...........

would explain why I cant shift my baby weight though

hehehe allgonebellyup, shall i keep you all waiting?

well....i have done a pregnancy test and it was negative (although it could be a recent conception )...will know more next month i guess

but (and a big but) my mum went to see the same psychic after my experience and apart from saying to my mum similar things as she said to me, she also said "do you know a K or a J?" (mine and dh names) "because they are soon to have another baby, a boy"

looks like i'm stuffed
oh and when you see psychic you just book in under first name, no surnames or anything and we dont look that alike, nor could she have known wo we were, let alone if we were related...

will keep you updated!

anyone else going to put this in threads I watching?! Good luck PC!!

Surfermum · 26/02/2008 22:05

I have been itching to find out!!!!

And now your mum's reading does add weight to the possibility it would seem.

You MUST let us know.

I will keep you all updated, you might just have to wait a few nailbiting weeks until my next AF! I am getting increasingly worried though!

I was pregnant but not in any way showing, last time I had a reading and as soon as I walked through the door she said I was surrounded by babies!! Told me I was having a boy though - wrong there I had another girl. She was sooo right on a lot of things she said including all about my dd1 - things she loves doing etc and also that I have a baby on the other side. I love all that stuff. Def putting on threads watching!

HonoriaGlossop · 27/02/2008 22:37

I'll explain that for you tearinghair. She guessed; pretty short odds, it's basically either twins or a singleton, more than that is extremely rare. If it had not been twins you would have forgotten this encounter because it was just an insignificant guess. You've remembered it because it was a lucky guess (on pretty good odds) so it gathers significance for you, but it was still a guess.

Again, 'boy and girl, wasn't it?' is just the sort of social guess that you take when you can't quite remember someone but guess anyway. I mean, there were only a few options; girl girl, boy boy, boy girl; not great odds.

PortAndLemon · 29/02/2008 22:33

tearinghairout at least three different people have told me I must be having twins this pregnancy (again no coercion, no motive, no showing off). They were all wrong. Had they been right, I might have been posting on here saying "Well, explain this then..."

psychiccynic -- I bet you she could have known who you were or if you were related, or had enough of an idea to risk mentioning your names. I don't look physically much like my mother but people know we are related because we tend to stand the same way and have similar vocal and body-language mannerisms. If your mother walked in and reminded her of you it would be worth a guess that you were in some way related.

There is some fascinating stuff about doing cold readings in Derren Brown's book.

AF due on tuesday....watch this space

although have been wondering - I am on the pill - would i still get my period irrespective of whether i am pregnant or not because of the chemical nature of the pill? Or would my period disappear if i was pregnant?

thanks

I went to see a psychic when I was 6 weeks pg with my 3rd child.

When I was there, she said, "You've got a dark boy and a blonde girl. Have you ever had a miscarriage or termination because I can see a third child here?" When I said no, she said, "You're going to have a blonde boy." She was right!

allgonebellyup · 30/03/2008 21:06

ooh spooky!!

pucca · 30/03/2008 21:15

Wellllll

I had a reading in Oct 05, and the woman said i had a surprise coming around xmas, she then went on to say i had a little boy waiting for me and i would be pg soon iirc, she said he was waiting in the wings. Thats he would be born in summer and he would be big in size, and i would need to get to the hospital quickly.

My SIL was also approached at a mind,body and spirit fair by a lady who said, your SIL is pg with a boy who is going to be born in summer and he will be big.

I found out i was pg in the Dec (05) ds was born on 6th Aug, i was booked for elective section but went into labour a week early, and he was born weighing 9lb 6oz at 38 weeks.

So they were spot on for me

i went to a psychic reading session when i was preg with my DD and the psychic picked me out of the crowd and talked all about my family etc i knew he was talking crap however when he moved on without picking up on my pregnancy i think there are some psychics who are genuinely talented and some who just want to take your money and tell you lies. i wouldnt put much emphasis on what she has told you until you get a BFP and even then it might just have been a lucky guess that a woman of child baring age with a baby might actually have another one in the future (shocker!!) and she has a 50% chance of getting the sex right so she might be talking out of her bum if you dont want another child and are on the pill there is no reason to assume you could be preg unless you get a BFP good luck

Last year when I had a reading, I was about a week pregnant, but did not know it until I was five weeks pregnant. A psychic told me that my fiance and I would be having a baby girl very soon. She sounded certain. When we found out at the doctor's office, we were absolute overjoyed!! Our daughter is now 6 months old. By the way, she also told me other accurate information in my life that I don't know how she would have otherwise known.

Recently, I had another reading from her and she told me more accurate information. In relation to our daughter, she knew her temperament, personality, and abilities (she is very advanced to the standard) without even meeting her at first.

After our daughter was born, my husband and I were leaning toward having only one child to give all of our love, attention, and focus to, but I got news in the recent reading that we would be having another baby in the next 2-3 years. Again, my psychic seemed very certain. She said this time it would be a boy, and would have the same challenging temperament my husband did as a baby/child (and according to his parents and family, he was an energetic handful! :)) Although it would be tough, she said he would be the absolute joy of my life like our daughter. We were never 100% against expanding our family to 2 children, but now I feel that we, mostly I, would not be able to handle that. She said that I would be fine. I'm feeling like if we proceed with another pregnancy, it might be a problem I walked into knowing (the additional stress, etc.) If we don't proceed with another baby, I would feel sad/bad or regretful about altering something that was mean to be...like I changed my fate because I was afraid. I've always wanted to have one boy and one girl, until my daughter was born. I was afraid I couldn't handle another because I wanted us to be everything for her and give her as much as we can, without being spread too thin in life with the demands of a larger family.

What is your opinion? Should I believe my psychic? I have always been consumed with what our future holds with children, even more so now.

Thanks!

load of bollocks.

HecTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 22/12/2010 20:07

I wonder if she ever did have another baby

allgonebellyup · 30/12/2010 14:20

Yes, where is the op?!!

LoveBeingADaddysGirl · 30/12/2010 14:31

Some people seem to know these things, 3 years ago a friend told me she had dreamt I was pg, a couple of weeks later I found out I was. Last month I bumped into a friend who said she had dreamed I was pg (a different friend) a couple of days before and I had been.

peppapighastakenovermylife · 31/12/2010 22:43

With DS we were not trying - I was only 23, just married, didnt want children for another 10 years or so.

One night I had this dream about a dark big eyed newborn baby boy and that I was pregnant. Had him 9 months later.

Sure just coincidence (or me subtly knowing the signs but not realising) but still

BelleDameSansMerci · 31/12/2010 22:49

Ah, Peppa, that's lovely...

Today is the fourth anniversary of me finding out that I was (very unexpectedly) pregnant. I used a test to confirm, though, not a psychic.
