She can't be right again...can she?

Hello!

Just needing to have a vent really, I'm currently 3 months pregnant with #3, so happy. Anyway, when I was preg with #2 one of my friends was adament it was a boy saying she always guessed right was never wrong and low and behold...I had a boy, oh she was so smug. So I had my scan last week and text her saying it went well etc now I haven't saw her since last year, I moved away after ds was born 3 years ago, she hasn't even saw the scan photo but already shes started with her prediction, again she's saying a boy. I'm not fussed either way as I already have one of each but I just don't want her to be right and she really did my head in last time, all I got after he was born was ha ha I was right. I've no plans to find out what we're having, with dd I thought she was a boy, had nothing to base that on as it was my first, with ds I did have a gut feeling he would be a boy but wasn't 100% sure as I felt the same as my first pregnancy and this time my gut feeling is saying girl but again can't be 100% sure, I feel different to the first two, it's 50/50 anyway isn't it! Am I just being hormonal and letting my mystic meg of a friend get to me with her smugness?? I don't mind people having a guess I just don't appreciate people telling me what I'm having when I haven't a clue myself. xx

there is no way she can tell, or you for that matter, she was just lucky last time. Sounds like she needs something exciting in her own life to focus on!

I know somebody similar. Next time she tells you 'ha ha I'm right' etc, nicely remind her that of course she was right, she had a 50/50 chance of being right - predicting isn't rocket science. Of course if she is wrong, make sure she knows about it! She clearly needs some more excitement in her life (not being nasty) just saying.x

She had a fifty fifty chance. She was lucky and happened to be right-she's not the bloody witch doctor she's claiming to be lol.

What Maryann said

She in fact has a more than 50% chance of being right if she says you're having another boy as the current boy/girl ratio in the UK is around 105 boys born for every 100 girls.

And congratulations on number three!

MIL goes on about always knowing the gender, was so happy when she was wrong with this one, drove me bonkers (not hard when hormonal!!)
