Was your intuition right?

[pitterwoo]

Did you have a strong feeling that you were having a girl or a boy?

When you found out, were you right?

I'm curious how accurate that intuition is.  I swear I'm having a girl, but we still have a week to go till we find out.  I think I've known more people to be correct, but my SIL thought she was having a boy every time and she has all girls.

Eta: my intuition or guess ended up being right! We found out this morning that we are having a girl.

Yes, in my first trimester I had a dream that I was feeding a little girl. She was so cute!

[natablue]

I thought my gut instinct was girl, I just FELT that way. All dreams I had were boy. I'm having a boy.

[Yankees21]

I thought from the beginning it was a boy,but right before my anatomy scan I had a dream it was a girl, and I've been sick the whole time, so I thought maybe it was a girl. Nope, he's a boy

At work, 2 of my consultants had girls recently and had AWFUL morning sickness. They were all sure I was having a boy because I wasn't too sick. So there was one wives tale. The other is that girls "steal your beauty" and I'm not saying I'm beautiful, but I had a fabulous complexion until this bitter end (still no pimples, I just look freaking tired) and my hair and nails are fabulous. My hair is growing in more red like it was when I was a kid. And I really gave up on prenatals by like, 23 weeks or so, so it's not due to the vitamins but just hormones or something.

Those are the only 2 wives tales that point me towards having a boy because I too have gotten pretty lucky with m/s and my complexion.  All the other ones point towards girl.  It will be interesting to see what is right.  Is your skin super soft too?  I can't get over how smooth and soft it is now!

I thought I was having a girl, DH swore it was a boy. He was right lol. Every wives tale, gender chart, etc. was wrong.

[VillainV]

We both had very strong intuition that it was a girl, and most of the old wives tales said girl. It's a boy :-)

[runblondie26]

I had a strong feeling I was having a boy from the very start. My symptoms were different than when I was pregnant with DD. I also had a dream around the time I got my BFP that I had a son

Intuition was right.

[eav2c]

With my first I felt pretty strong that it was a girl. I had multiple dreams about a girl too. He's all boy and awesome, I might add! With this baby my gut basically said boy from the start and I was right. Quite different pregnancies though so if I compared that alone I would've thought girl for sure.

[humpforfree]

I have zero idea. I flip back and forth between sub consciously calling the baby 'he' and 'she' so I guess I'll find out in march! My husband still hasn't slipped so I really have no clue

Omg that is exactly what happened to us. We didn't find out until birth so my husband and I were so surprised when the nurse said "it's a boy!".

[Velar Fricative]

We were Team Green and every old wives tale pointed to boy, so that's what I thought the whole time. I know I had a 50% chance of having a girl but I was still pretty surprised when I found out she was a girl. I'm never putting any stock in old wives tales again lol.

[lolaburns]

Saw this from the app. I was Team Green with my first. I had pretty strong boy feelings.
I had zero morning sickness, my hair was thick and gorgeous, my skin actually cleared up and was so soft. I had a boy!

This pregnancy has been completely different and I did have morning sickness pretty much since implantation to last week. My skin is awful. I have cystic acne on my face, chest and back. It is always so dry. even my eyes are terribly dry. Totally different this time around so it will be interesting to see if it is another boy or a girl!

[Stingyshark]

I was pretty convinced we were having a girl, and we are. Many people have told me it's a boy because of the way I'm carrying, but 4 ultrasounds have confirmed it's a girl, so I'm gonna go with that.

DH thought we were having a boy, and had a slight meltdown when he found out it was a girl. Not because he was disappointed, because he is terrified he'll be a giant pushover with a girl. Ha! He has since come around and can't wait to meet our baby girl. (So she can come any time, you hear me, kid?)

[simpsongal]

I had a feeling it was a boy - and it is!

[shaynaatl]

The whole time, I thought it was a boy.  Then I changed my mind to girl the week before scan.  And I was right.

[Cricket0619]

I was convinced it was a girl and so were a lot of other people. It's a boy

[katiek]

I've always thought our first would be a boy, but since I got pregnant I go between thinking it's a girl or a boy pretty evenly. So basically I have no intuition!

I think I'm doomed to have all boys though (not that it's a bad thing!) There have been no "our lastname" girls born in five or six generations. We women just marry in, so I'm not sure if we'll be the ones to break the unintentional tradition.

I have never had intuition, but I feel like for every one story that it was right, there is another one for "I was shocked!"

I'm in this camp. I still laugh when people ask if we were surprised when we found out it's a girl...um well there were 50/50 odds, soooo....

Maybe next time around I will have more of an intuition, but this time I had none whatsoever.

[kershnic]

I had no intuition. But since its a 50/50 chance there's a very high probability that you're going to find a lot of people who had 'intuition' and were right.

Some told me I would have boys because I didn't have morning sickness. I have been told at 3 u/s that I'm having two girls.

[narockshard]

For some reason I can only picture us having a boy--probably because I have 4 younger brothers (no sisters), and nannied for my 2 boy cousins from birth to about 3--so I only have extensive baby experience with boys. But because I feel that way I think it'll probably be a girl then  When we told the heart rate to our friends who have 2 girls and a boy they both said "girl!" at the same time which I thought was funny. I guess their girls had the higher heart rates than their son. We're planning on being team green though so we won't be finding out until June.

ETA: I should also add that I haven't had any morning sickness at all. So I'm all over the place!

[browneyedgirl9]

I was "feeling" like i was having a girl in my gut...ended up bring a boy! :-)

All of those gender charts and Mayan chart all said boy for me though!

[pixiedust]

I went back and forth, and for the last couple weeks leading up to a/s, I thought boy. We're having a girl. Most of my family had predicted girl, though.

[catsarecute]

I don't think I ever had a "gut" feeling of what we were having. I went back and forth in my mind, trying to guess based on nothing! I kept saying that it didn't matter and I didn't have a real preference but when push came to shove, I really hoped it was a girl. My husband hoped it was a boy but guessed girl all along. He had dreams about the baby and it was always a girl.

I think I convinced myself it would be a boy because it would make my husband SO HAPPY so I was surprised when we found out she was a girl!

[picksthemusic]

With DD I knew it was a girl. Of course I knew it could go either way, but when we found out, I was like - I KNEW IT!!

With my last pregnancy, I knew it was a boy based on my first tri symptoms. They were SO different from DD. With DD I wanted everything sweet (white sugar), carbs, comfort food... and with my last pg I wanted salt, sour, and chocolate (OMG THE CHOCOLATE).

We got chromosomal testing done when I had my D&C and they confirmed it was a boy.

[missbella]

When we were TTC I always pictured us with a girl. I want a girl and I couldn't see us having a boy. As soon as I got pregnant I started thinking boy. DH thinks it's a boy 100%. I call it a "he". I will be pleasantly surprised if it's a girl and I think DH will be shocked. We'll see in a month!

[redpenmama]

I was certain DD was a girl. With this one, I felt boy but not nearly as strongly as I did with my first. So, I was right both times, but my odds were 50%.

[marie3246]

Nope, I was totally thinking boy and we are having a girl. I had my ultra sounds done at 15 and 18W so I'm still a little hesitant, but that hasn't stopped me from buying all girl things....

[vmars]

I knew I was having a boy around 11 weeks and it was confirmed at 13 weeks. I started looking at little boys differently and was craving all the foods my DH likes lol.

Whoa, that is some track record! You'll have to update us.
