Do you think us as mothers, even in the early stages have a gut instinct on what sex we will have? i was correct with DS,, im just not so sure this time!! anyone else have any experience? was ur gut right for u :)

I was wrong both times!

I really wouldnt mind a 2nd DS :), but with having 1 me and my OH said wouldnt it be nice to have 1 of each, so i feel deep down its a DD, but maybe this is because im liking the idea, rather than a gut feeling! with DS i just new 100% boy hehe!! x thanks for replies x

I believed my twins were two boys. I am having two girls. I was really surprised I was wrong. I am so pleased though.

I was convinced DD was a boy! This time I am convinced again it is a boy, we shall see in November when DC2 makes his/her appearance!

Been wrong 3 out of 4 times. So not for me.

I thought he was a boy -I even had a dream he was a boy. According to sonographer, he is indeed a boy! Still a small chance she was wrong (will find out in October), but I don't think so.

However, I remember reading somewhere that someone actually did a study on this 'pregnant woman 'just knowing' what sex it was' -apparently the accuracy rate was about 50% -what a surprise Grin

I have been right with my 3 everytime (b,g,b). With my daughter I secretly wanted a girl but tried to convince myself she was a boy so I wasn't disappointed. It just never felt right calling my bump a him. I am on dc4 now and would like a girl as think it would fit our family better however I obviously don't really care. I think this one is a girl but again I am telling myself it is a boy. Does that make any sense?!

With my first I was convinced it was going to be a boy. I bought blue clothes with cars on and everything. No girls in dh family for decades....

She was a girl... Shock First girl in DH family for 72 years!

Still put her in the car outfits though. Smile

I've been right both times Grin

jenbird this it exacly what im doing :o Even went to look at baby clothes and wouldnt look at the girls things, telling DH it was a boy! I mean oviously it very possibly be, but could also possible be a girl :) but same as u i dont want to get used to the idea of a girl and then be dissapointed!! xxx
