Mummas intuition... is it ever right?

[7415N1d0r1391117]

Basically I knew with both my boys they were boys! I never entertained the fact either of them could be girls! Some people thought my second was going to be a girl but I would shut them down and say NOPE it’s a boy..
So!!! This time it’s a little bit odd!!
We had an early gender scan.. little bubba was in an awkward position.. curled up, face down, on his tummy.. technician had difficulty to get babe to open his legs but she said she thought it was a boy! We went for another scan two days later and again, baby was in the same awkward position (soo lazy 😂) and the technician had a hard time seeing but then said she thinks it’s a boy too!

My partner and I are just not convinced I’m carrying another little boy!! It’s crazy. We are happy either way and I’ve always seen myself as a boy mumma but neither of us can shake this feeling it’s not a boy in there 😅
It’s not this emotional, Hope feeling from the heart, it’s a calmer, rational gut feeling where we just feel ‘naaa it’s not a boy’.
I’ll attach the potty shots from the second scan.

We are both super stubborn people so it might be we can’t face being wrong 😂😂
However we have our 20w scan at the end of October so we will wait til then if we are wrong 😅

What does everyone think?? Has anyone’s intuition ever been right?!

Just to add.. we are over the moon either way!! We just can’t shake this feeling 🤷🏼‍♀️

I believe in mothers instict!! I have a son and two daughters and i am 37 weeks with another son! When i found out i was pregnant this time we decided to book a gender scan as my husbands job meant he wouldn't be able to make the 20 week scan this time round!. I said from day one i was carrying a BOY, well at the gender scan the lady said 100% i was carrying a GIRL! I was happy either way as baby was healthy but i actually said to my husband i didn't believe her, she had put girl on the scan pic and gave us a pink bag and i still didn't believe her! Well my husband didn't believe ME when i rang from the 20 week scan saying we were indeed having a BOY! He managed to come to the extra growth scans we have had and has seen he is very much MALE haha. Everyone else was shocked but i just knew in my heart he was a boy. Good luck at your next scan and i hope baby is co-operative. X

Well, you have a 50% chance of being right either way.

I don’t think it’s intuition- more like confirmation bias because you guessed correctly the first two times. There’s plenty of mothers who were wrong about the sex- me included!

I was wrong. I must have no intuition! 😅

I was right both times but as people say a 50/50 chance is a good chance of being right!

Pregnant with DC2 and I just knew a few weeks after my BFP that she was a girl. I have no idea why but my gut feeling was so strong, especially after seeing her on the first scan (nothing to do with the nub just a feeling).

I think there's a lot to be said for your instinct!

Thanks for all your responses!

I agree it’s 50/50.. I just don’t know how to shake this feeling!!
If I’m right I’ll be sure to let you all know, but if I’m wrong I’ll just hide myself 😂🙉

Knowing a couple of you have been right gives me positive vibes that maybe it isn’t all in my head!
If I’m told at my 20w scan it’s a boy I won’t think twice, as by this point I’m sure it’s far more reliable! I just think with the baby being so awkward for both scans it’s left even more uncertainty! But it’s very exciting either way.
we would like 4 children in total so in a couple of years time when we have #4 we have agreed to not even bother finding out 😂

It's probably right about half the time! I thought I was having a boy the first time and was unsure the second and both were girls.

Well it's 50/50 chance of being right I was convinced I was having a girl, spent weeks looking at girls names and clothes etc. Nope, definitely a boy!

I knew with all of mine. No idea how, but I was so sure from early on. (Boy, boy, girl, boy)

I knew my first was a girl. I just knew!! But with my second I was not so sure.

Well I was convinced I was having a boy with my first DC, I was in total shock at the 20w scan when I was told she was a girl. So my mother's instinct was way off. Sounds like your instinct is way more in tune than mine so you may well be correct.

thanks everyone!
It’s definitely a mix of replies. I guess only time will tell... having a baby and finding out what you’re having is easily the most intense, exciting, nerve racking, incredible experience. I love the uncertainty!! 😄

I came across this thread

Can’t help but notice one of my potty shots is pretty much identical to the one she posted at the beginning. It’s only encouraging my intuition more 😈 I just can’t help but obsess 🧐😂

It looks like a boy to me

Of course you're going to get a mix of responses. Probably a pretty even mix, given guesses are going to be right 50% of the time.

FWIW, I was convinced I'm having a boy but 20 week and subsequent growth scan confirmed girl, so there's another answer to add to your pot.

I think your scans look like a boy.

I knew from the moment I saw that positive pregnancy test that I was having a boy. And i am!!!
Like you, I couldn’t even entertain that it could be a girl. I had people telling me they thought it was a girl and I shot them down instantly. I was even drawn to boy things in the shops. So I do believe you can have it.
And looking at your scan pictures, I wouldn’t be convinced that was a boy either. Good luck either way OP. Exciting stuff. Do come back and tell!!! X x

I was convinced I was having a girl, all the way through til things started kicking off... then I thought boy, low and behold it was a girl 🙊

Scientifically I don't think there is evidence that there's such thing as "mummas intuition " but maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

Before I got pregnant I always used to say to my husband we will have boys (mainly because there are more in his family and for some reason where he lived and his friends where all full of boy families - convinced there was something in the air!)
When I first discovered I was pregnant I had a strong feeling it was a girl, then as the weeks went on to when could find out (did the NIPT) I really started to feel it was a boy. Even some
Of the old wives takes where correct. It's a boy!
