Did anyone guess there DS/DD on a gut feeling?

First pregnancy, I was sure from 16w I was having a boy. It was a boy.
Second pregnancy I am sure it's a girl but I've not found out yet.

Yes my guesses were right with both of mine!

First one I just knew I was having a boy and I was right!

Currently 25 weeks pregnant. All along I had a gut feeling that this one was a girl... found out at 16 weeks that again I was right!

Could just be lucky guesses I suppose Grin

I had a gut feeling I was having a girl from very early on in pregnancy....I remember vividly dreaming about a little girl.
I've not had my baby yet so can't say 100% but 3 different sonographers at 17, 20 and 23 weeks all said girl

SailingAwayIntoSunrise · 11/05/2020 00:52

I had a dream when I was about 10/12 weeks that I was pushing a pink pram from that point I knew dd1 was a girl although we didn't find out the sex officially.

I had the harmony test with dd2 and found out sex at 10 weeks so didn't have a chance to have a dream 😉

Alpacamabags · 11/05/2020 00:57

Yup. Was convinced #1 was a boy. Not sure what I'd have done if scan hadn't confirmed. Can't explain why. Just felt like I made boys.
Initially thought #2 was a boy for same reason but quickly began to think girl. Nothing massively different just felt it. Was right both times.
Definitely important to note though it wouldn't have mattered. I did want a boy first time but wasn't desperate for a girl second time. Healthy is what I was after and we were so blessed to get that x 2

FairfaxAikman · 11/05/2020 01:13

My gut feeling of boy was so strong that when the sonographer said "girl"
At the 20 week scam I refused to tell anyone the sex (as planned) because I knew she was wrong.

I was right and DS is now 2.

sarahc336 · 11/05/2020 07:17

My gut feeling a boy, she cane out a girl Hmm this time round I'm not guessing at all ha ha xx

AndMyHairWillShineLikeTheSea · 11/05/2020 07:30

I thought ds was a boy from the start. 12 weeks pg with second and I think it's another boy Smile

Dyra · 11/05/2020 07:30

I was certain baby was a boy right up until I was about 35 weeks. I just woke up one morning and was like "hang on, no. I'm having a girl". Turned out I was right.

Midnightdream · 11/05/2020 10:08

@FairfaxAikman wow!

With my first I was completely wrong but with both my boys I knew I was going to have two boys before I even conceived them!

zscaler · 11/05/2020 11:13

I’m not finding out in advance, but my gut tells me girl. At first I naturally found myself imagining a boy, but then I had a very vivid dream that the baby was born and she was a girl, and since then I’ve imagined a girl!

I really don’t mind which it is, will be a lovely surprise either way!

Zippetydoodahzippetyay · 11/05/2020 12:26

With my first, I just had this strong feeling she would be a girl. It didn't even cross my mind that she might be a boy until I was about 18 weeks. The thought really threw me at first haha. Not that I would have minded, but I had just been so certain she was a girl. Which it turned out she was 😆

With second and third, my pregnancies were so similar that I just assumed (again correctly) that I was having girls.

Not sure whether it truly was instinct, just lucky guesses or something else.

Sheera1 · 11/05/2020 12:37

My first I had a strong feeling it was a boy and was not at all surprised when she told us it was at the 20 week scan.

This time I am convinced it is a girl but mainly due to how sick I have been and my thick waistline despite actually losing weight. Very different from first pregnancy. Also old wives tales like craving sweet things. I don't have a sweet tooth and didn't with ds, but I am eating chocolate cake, doughnuts, waffles. Weirdly not chocolate on it's own, def stodgy sweet goodness 😂

Siobhan1989 · 11/05/2020 21:36

I guessed boy and he’s a boy.

I read somewhere that mothers intuition predicts it correctly 70% of the time

Echobelly · 11/05/2020 21:40

First pg, I had no idea - DH was convinced from early one that it was a girl and he was right.

Second time, I began to suspect it was a boy when I had a dreadful rash in the last 6 or 7 weeks and read that this was much more common when carrying a boy (possibly a reaction to presence of male hormones). My sister, who was pg 9 weeks behind me, was convinced all along that we were both having boys and she was right!

IcyWind · 11/05/2020 21:41

Gut feeling both times I was having a boy, had 2 boys

FlyingLemur · 11/05/2020 21:44

First time I was sure I was having a boy and this was correct.

Early on this time, I didn’t feel like I’m having a boy and therefore concluded it’s probably a girl. 2 scans and a NIPT test have all said girl, but now I’ve convinced myself they’re all wrong and it’s another boy. So I now have no idea and won’t find out for definite one way or the other until it arrives.

lastonetime · 11/05/2020 21:54

I was certain I was having a girl first time and had DD

All being well, I find out tomorrow about #2!

I've had a gut feeling of boy all through because the pregnancies have been so different, but been doubting myself the last few weeks

byvirtue · 11/05/2020 21:57

Even before I was pregnant I knew I would have a daughter. No idea why obviously it’s 50/50 but I couldn’t imagine having a boy.

Had a Harmony test early on to find out and at the scan at the same time the sonographer guessed a girl and she was right.

AnotherElle · 11/05/2020 22:08

I wished for a boy first and got one and a girl second and got 2

PorpentiaScamander · 11/05/2020 22:11

Gut feeling both times said boy. I have 2 boys Wink

MrsSkr · 11/05/2020 23:00

I have had the gut feeling from the start that baby is a boy, I had my 20 week scan today and....its a boy 💙

lastonetime · 12/05/2020 21:37

Had my scan today and we are apparently expecting a boy! So my first gut feeling was correct Grin

xxxemzyxxx · 12/05/2020 21:42

I’m pregnant with my first and suspect I’m having a boy, I will find out next week 😁 but not sure if it’s a gut feeling or I think that just because majority of family and friends would like me to have a girl, therefore naturally it will be the opposite 😂

LightDrizzle · 12/05/2020 21:46

Gut feeling both times was boy. Chose not to find out the sex until they were delivered. - Both girls!
