Was your first instinct gender guess right?

[Dianeleeds]

Hey folks
just thought I would see what the stats were so to speak on how accurate your first instinct re:gender was?

I'm 8 weeks and feel certain I'm having a boy.....only got another 12 weeks to go before I can find out for definite

Yes, three times.

Yes :)

No. Convinced boy both times, 2 girls.

Yes, with both my ds & dd.

Yes. Just knew it was a girl, and it (she!) was.

I was with ds1, wasn't sure about ds2 and not sure about this one either although had a very vivid dream the other night about blue balloons so maybe it's trying to tell me it's ds3!

I was certain each time and wrong all three times.

Nah, I thought boy - most people do. Someone did a piece of work on it, let me see if I can find it. It argues that in our culture male is considered default, female exception.

Nope!! And I was convinced!

No first time - was sure DS was a girl.

Yes second time - never ever considered for a second that DS2 would be a girl.

With 3 of the 4 yes, very strong feeling of knowing. With dc2, I didn't have a clue.

Yep. I kept saying 'she' rather than he/it/baby. The scanner lady laughed at my 20 week scan when I said I know its a girl and boom!

First baby, I didn't have a feeling at all-she was girl
Second baby I was sure was a boy on basis preg was so different-she was a girl
This baby I had a bet with dh that it was a girl as I was so sick, craving sweet things, Chinese prediction said girl-3 scans have said he's a boy......Yep I'm pants at guessing lol

I'm convinced I'm having a boy, only because I've been reading too many old wives tales. Hopefully find out tomorrow, priority is making sure everything is ok, then hope baby will be an exhibitionist!

Yep.
Convinced from the second I found out I was pregnant that she was a girl. And this was despite me spending 35 years saying I'd like my first child to be a boy!

Of course I don't mind at all - I'm absolutely thrilled :)

Yes, with all three. All were boys and although I carried then all differently, I just knew :)

We were convinced it was a boy, and we found out at a 17 week private scan that we are having a girl. Hope they were right, my family have gone shopping mad... Only one week till my due date :)

Yes! I always 'knew' we'd have a boy, even before I was pregnant.

Wasn't sure with my first but with this one I thought it was a boy (no reason why really!) and just found out I was right!

Wrong all three times.

I was sure DS was a boy as soon as I found it I was pregnant... so convinced I went round telling everyone it was a boy. We didn't find out for sure till he was born. Good job I got it right or I would have looked a bit silly telling everyone our "boy" was a daughter

First time was convinced DD was a boy,so was wrong.
This time I'm convinced it's a boy again, will find out in couple months time if right this time

Right both times.

I never had any preference but as soon as I found out I was pregnant I had a really strong instinct that I was carrying a girl - I felt like I "just knew". On top of that, all of the old wives' tales for gender prediction suggested I was having a girl, and my interpretation of 'skull theory' pointed to a girl too (no nub visible)...

All wrong, we had a boy!

Nope!
