Did you just 'know' the baby's sex?

[BellaCiao1]

When pregnant (and choosing not to find out) did you ever just have a strong feeling that you knew the baby's sex? Or did you see something on a scan that alerted you to its possible sex?

I was convinced in my first pregnancy it was a girl. I had a 'feeling' and every old wives tale pointed to it was completely wrong.

This time I feel unqualified to say 😅 but I've had extra scans and have never spirted any 'boy' tell tale signs - does this mean it is a girl? Or could a boy easily hide in scans (especially when I have no clue what I am looking at)! So basically, no finding out but if I happen to see something...

Didn't have a gut feeling with my first but had a really vivid dream very late on (about a week before birth) that I was watching my "baby" ride a tricycle up our street and couldn't tell from behind if the baby was a boy or a girl, then walked into the kitchen and DH was holding a baby girl. We did end up having a DD and I've never forgotten that dream.

With my DS I knew from Day 1 he was a boy. Didn't admit to anyone as it was crazy how strong the instinct was, but I just knew. When I gave birth there was no moment of "it's a boy" it was more like "my boy is here!".

I ‘knew’ I was carrying a girl until the scan showed otherwise.

Yep. I remember seeing the colour blue and it also feeling like a craving.

Even when talking about the pregnancy right in the beginning, I'd keep saying boy, even though I wasn't even thinking about the sex.

I even placed bets with people as I just knew.

Thinking of girls names felt so wrong

I felt it deep in my core and I've never had that feeling since but I am also VERY in tune with my son and knowing when things aren't right

I knew at x weeks something would happen and I knew he was going to be very very poorly if he wasn't born by 37 weeks and when he was born at 38.5, I cried, as he was here but that all came crashing down at less than a day old and he was resuscitated due to being incredibly poorly
