Did you 'know'?

[yellowmelon]

I'm 24 weeks and we've decided not to find out the sex and I'm very happy with our decision. However, I have had a strong feeling from the beginning that we're having a boy. I'm sure I've read somewhere that something like 75% of mothers are correct if they have this kind of gut feeling. So I'm just interested really - Did you feel like you knew and were you right?

I was definitely having a boy. I was sure of it. People even bought boys' clothes as presents in advance.

I was in absolute disbelief when DD appeared... It really threw me and I had trouble naming her because I had concentrated so much on boys' names!

Dd1 I had a feeling I was having a girl. Didn't get told at scan.
Dd2 I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was nearly 5mths. When I had a scan I was in shock, kept asking if it was really a baby😆.
My feeling were Dd2 was a boy, I was wrong.

I had no idea, absolutely none.

It was absolutely thrilling waiting and that moment was just magical when the baby was born and we found out!

I was sure DS1 was a boy, and I was right. DS2 we knew as the sonographer accidentally showed us his boy bits!

I knew with DS

I had an inkling I was having a boy, from the moment I found out I was pregnant.
I have had two scans and both sonograthers have said it looks like a boy.
Only time will tell now :)

I knew with both DCs. I was wrong the first time. I guess I have a 50% success rate.

I totally knew I was having a boy from the second I found out I was pregnant.

Got a one year old son now and I love him with all my heart.

I knew as soon as I saw I was pregnant too. I told the scanny lady this and she said, "Its impossible to 'know'🙄." I thought, 'We'll see shall we😌' Low and behold, there was my DD in the clearest view that said she was a girl. I was smiling like a cheshire cat all day after that lol. My mum called me a witch for this also!(she was joking btw)

I thought I knew with DD1 (I was wrong!)
Had no idea with DD2, then minutes before she was born I told my husband it was another girl. In my head I just knew.

I was absolutely positive my first was a boy from very early on and He was it was like a feeling of just knowing. This time didn’t have a feeling either way I assumed probably a boy as my other half’s family are mostly boys but no actual feeling of knowing with certainty either way like the first time. According to scans we are having a girl this time.

I was wrong for for dc1 & 2
Right for dc 3, 4 & 5

Statistics, innit?

Me and my DH had small bet on the sex of our DC. He was so confident that it would be a boy so naturally I said I thought a girl.

I'm not sure that I actually knew or just convinced myself that I was right so that DH would be wrong (he was being pretty arrogant about it!) but we were told at our 20 week scan that we have a little girl on the way

I was so sure she was a boy. We called the baby he all the time. Got an early scan and shes a girl. Confirmed at 20 weeks!

My gut feeling was girl and she is a girl (according to NIPT and scans anyway)! I guess I had a 50% chance of being right..

We haven't found out and have 8 weeks to go - although I'm so impatient to find out we've come this far that I would be really upset if I somehow found out now!

I've thought all along it's a boy - I was the only girl on my side of the family (brothers and all male cousins) until my niece was born and my DH has a brother. DH seems to think girl. Based on all the old wive's tales ie. the way I'm carrying, it suggests a boy.

Will find out towards the end of November!

Some interesting replies - it seems the figure of 75% correct may be a tad high...

@cakeordeath89 - you'll have to come back at the end of November and let us know if you were right!

I knew I was having a girl, and, according to scans, I'm right!

It's the only time I've ever been right - I have a 100% success rate for being wrong about other people's babies! 😂

I was absolutely sure with mine and I was right. 1DS and 1 DD ☺️

Nope. Was so sure. And was also wrong. 😁

I always imagined I’d have a boy first but as soon as I was pregnant I felt so strongly I was having a girl....according to scans I was right! But it is a 50/50 chance of being right so I’m not reading that much into it 😉

I was certain I was having a boy, so certain that I'd picked names, nursery things and clothes. Scan said girl. Still felt they were wrong and kept saying he was a boy. Baby was born - little boy

Well, considering my feeling was based on 'sods law', I doubt it is any surprise I was wrong! Essentially my oldest sister wanted a girl, got a boy, middle sister wanted a boy, got a girl, so I was basically waiting for history to repeat itself and give me a beautiful boy.

Both my sisters and my OH definitely thought I was having a girl. They were right.

I had a hunch I was having girls both times.. my first is indeed a girl & I’ve had a scan for no.2 today, also a girl 😄 for some reason, I just could never picture myself with a boy. I’d have been thrilled with one & part of me feels a tad sad I will never experience that (100% no more babies) but it’s funny how things pan out..
