Did you have really strong feelings about whether it was a girl or boy? And we’re you right or wrong?

Just for fun really.

DH and I are both super convinced that the baby is a boy. No reason really just a feeling. But we’ve been referring to it as ‘he’ pretty much since the beginning.

20 week scan is next week. I’d be delighted with either but starting to think it would be pretty funny if it’s actually a girl!

Did you have strong feelings on the sex Before you found out and if so were you right or wrong?

First pregnancy I just knew I was having a little girl. No idea why but I just knew it. That little girl in now 10. I’m pregnant again and kept feeling it was a boy, then had a dream it was a boy. I’m now 21 weeks preg with a boy :)

From being young, I thought I’d have a boy first. I was so convinced that I just knew this one was a boy.

Luckily the 20 week scan showed he is, otherwise it would have taken me a few weeks to come to terms with it!

#1 I was convinced she would be a girl, when she was born I knew she was a girl as soon as I saw her face

#2 I had no inkling during pregnancy, I couldn't tell when they passed her to me either

I knew my first was a boy as soon as I saw his face on the 12 week scan (he is).

I had a very strong feeling DC1 was a boy. That turned out to be right. I still believe it is entirely impossible to "know" and given it's a 50:50 chance then obviously a lot of these feelings are going to be correct. It's still just chance though.

Spot on with all 3 of mine from very early in the pregnancy. Girl, boy, girl, just what I wanted 😊

I knew for sure that I was having a boy. And he is now 6.5 months old so I was correct

Just something deep down told me it's definitely a boy, even though I ALWAYS thought I'd have a girl first since that's how things have always worked out in my family.

My Grandma was 23 when she had her first, a girl then had a boy next.

My mam was exactly the same and went on to have another girl then boy in her second marriage.

I was 23 and I ended up having a boy first ❤️

Good luck OP! Be sure to update the thread when you find out! 👶🏼

I was convinced I was having a boy. So we're all around me (apart from DH) - one colleague announced she had never been wrong about assessing how a woman carries the bump, and she would bet good money on me having a boy. When DD was subsequently born and held up to me bum first, I was so confused! DH had to gently break it to me that I didn't have a very strange son, but a perfectly formed daughter. In my defence, I had lost quite a bit of blood at the time so wasn't firing on all cylinders!

We were the exact same, totally convinced it was a boy. Picked boy names and kept having dreams of having a baby boy and then found out we're having a girl! Total shock.

No idea. But with DC1 EVERYONE said girl (by EVERYONE I mean a chorus of Irish aunties and an Irish mother telling you It's A Girl. And when it's spoken by your Irish aunties, it becomes gospel. They have 'the gift', don't they? DC1 is a boy. )

In retrospect (DCs 1 & 3 are boys, DC2 is a girl), my pregnancy with my boys were identical, down to the cravings. I knew DC3 was a boy based on how similar a pregnancy it was to DC1. My pregnancy with DC2 (DD) was very different than both and the way she moved was very different. It was a very beautiful pregnancy, but my mental health was kaput with DD, ante and post-natally. I had much darker moods with DD and I struggled with my mental health during and after pregnancy. I always feel so sad about that because she's such a beautiful human being with such a mighty heart, DD is. And she was a joy to carry. I couldn't help what happened to my mental health. I so wish I could have controlled that side of things more.
My pregnancies and post-natal mental health seemed to be stronger and steadier with my boys. It's down to hormones and all of that jazz, I suppose.

The day I found out I was pregnant I had a very strong feeling that it was a girl, like I just knew.

Then I had my 12 week scan and I started thinking it was a boy. There is a long line of boys on my husband's side, which definitely played a part.

Going into my 20 week scan I was going to be happy with either.

Turns out I'm having a girl. Can't believe my first instinct was correct, but then it was always 50/50!

I knew from the moment I found out I was pregnant that I was having a girl. I would dream about baby girls, we only had a girls name, I even started buying girls clothes at 8 weeks pregnant! And she is now a 3 year old girl.
Pregnant again and this time I have no idea. The pregnancy is similar to last time, no real cravings yet though, but I’ve had no baby dreams and no gut feelings. I convinced myself that I wasn’t actually pregnant until I saw the 12 week scan. So I guess this one will be a surprise

I was absolutely certain for each pregnancy. I have 3 dc. I was wrong every time.

Which is a pretty poor success rate when the odds are 50:50 each time

Yep, consultant at nucal fold scan ( in the days when it was very new) thought I was having a girl. 20 wk scan I had MIL with me so asked not to say. 28wk growth scan very definitely a boy.
I was always convinced it was a boy.
We had no intention of telling one else but it was great when people tried to guess after they found out it was a switch about.

I felt absolutely sure both times and I was right but with 50/50 odds you know I had a fair chance to be right.

Update: had my scan and I was right, it’s a boy!

I’ve never found out the sex before the birth, with the first we felt like it was a girl from pretty early on and it was. Second we thought girl for most of the pregnancy but then towards to end we weren’t that sure, that was a boy. Now on our third, I feel like this one is a girl again, but who knows, we’ll find out when it’s born! We’ve never had a preference for either sex though so it makes no difference to us.

Congrats on your little boy @LuckyFlash! ❤️

Those of you who had prophetic dreams have made me worry now.

The other day I dreamed my baby was born, and it was a kitten (female, grey and long-haired). The worst part of it is that I felt relieved. I understand kittens, but don't know much about babies.
