Did you have a gut feeling/instinct on the sex?

[december2020]

I (hopefully) find out the sex this Saturday, and since the beginning had a gut feel this baby could be a boy (based on nothing scientific).

So, just for fun, I was curious if anyone else ever had a gut feel of what sex their baby was going to be, and was it right or wrong?

Nope. I hoped for a girl both times but had no strong feelings. Luckily it was girls

I really really wanted a girl and told everyone I thought as much but accidentally kept saying he. HE is a boy so I guess I did know?

Yes I did. I was 100% certain it was a boy. In 1996 they wouldn't tell you the sex.

She was a girl!

I always thought I'd have a girl but from about 6 weeks onwards I knew he was a boy. And he was!

I always knew my son was a boy. Wasn't even shocked at the scan.

This time strong feeling it's a girl, will be shocked if different!

Wow! It's amazing how strong (and usually correct) our gut instinct can be! I know of course we have 50/50 chance to be right but still!

One more day, we find out tomorrow! I wonder if my gut instinct is correct too (or if I'm totally wrong).

No, and if I did I'd know it was my imagination!

I think there's probably a very strong reporting bias with this; people don't tell the stories of the times they were wrong

I think I’m having a boy. I convinced myself from conception as we conceived the by DTD the day before ovulation.
My dating scan I think baby just looks like a boy!
3 other people have also said looks like a boy.
Find out early September if not in a couple of weeks if I book a private scan because I’m impatient 😂

Yes both times. I was 50% correct

With my first I had really strong feelings it was a boy from about 8 weeks. It wasn't a conscious thing, I was drawn straight to the blue baby clothes in shops and only boys names seemed right. Everyone else thought girl and it felt really weird like they were calling my son a girl. I was right and he was a boy.
I went on to have two girls and had no feeling either way in either pregnancy.

I was wrong both times. For DC2, I asked on here for guesses on my 12 week scan photo and the vast majority said girl which 'confirmed' what I thought. I was surprised when he was born a boy : )

I was wrong both times, I was convinced we were having a boy and dd was a girl.. this time I even bought a boys outfit (stupid I know!) needless to say I’ve now exchanged it for a beautiful pink suit for our impending daughter!

With my first I was so sure I'd have a girl. There's mainly girls in my family and has always imagined having a daughter. Got the shock of my life when sonographer said boy!
I am pregnant again now and have no clue whatsoever. I do kind of hope it's a girl. Randomly from being young I always thought [having kids] should be big brother and little sister, as in its best for the boy to be older. No idea why that's just how I thought families should be (even though I just had a sister lol)
I find out next month I might update 😂

Pregnant with 2nd atm - me my mum and all my aunt's had a feeling it was a girl because the pregnancy was different to my first (I have a son) - lots of morning sickness and stuff. It is a girl x

Yes, 100% convinced I was having the opposite to what I had. So much so baby was nameless for 3 days - thankfully I had the restraint to only buy neutral clothes and not pink or blue.

Yep, always thought I’d have a girl. The minute I conceived I “ knew” it was a girl. I was right 😊

Thank you everyone for sharing your stories!
I love how right (or how wrong) we can be!
Yes, fully aware it's a 50/50 chance either way.

I just wanted to update, for me, gut instinct was correct, this mornings scan confirmed the baby is indeed a boy. 💙

@december2020 - congratulations! 💙

Congratulation xxx

Congratulations!
I knew both times.

Aww thank you everyone! We're over the moon 💙

First baby thought was a boy. It was a girl. Second baby thought was a boy. It was a girl. Third baby thought would definitely be a girl but was a boy! 4th baby was a girl. 5th baby a girl. Never guessed it right! All pregnancies felt the same too.

I always knew I'd have a girl. I went on to have two
