Sex: If you had a "feeling", were you right?

[cats]

I'm only 13 weeks, but I feel very firmly that I'm carrying a girl.

I'm not sure if feeling this way is in part to reading/hearing extreme nausea is a girl or because we talked about wanting a son someday) but healthy trumps any desire for a specific sex).

It's strange. I don't know why I have this "knowing" feeling.

Anecdotes?

ETA: did you symptoms match the old wives tales?

I had a feeling it was a boy and I was right!

[starburst]

I thought it was a boy and I was right. My H said he had two "clear signs" that it was going to be a girl. Now he won't tell me what the signs were because he was wrong. Guess they weren't that clear after all!

[preppy]

I felt like she was boy up until the morning of the A/S and when we woke up that day declared girl. It's a girl:)

[dojo]

I was so convinced that DS was a girl that I had to have an elective ultrasound to confirm that I was wrong about it. This baby I didn't have a strong feeling one way or another, but a very small part of me thought girl again.

I'm 0 for 2.

[cheeseandcrackers]

I thought girl cause I gained everywhere but my belly except the end. I was right.

[dcn]

I had a dream when i was pg with my first that it was a boy, and he was.

This time i feel fairly certain it is another boy. I havent had any dreams yet either way. We'll see!

So far everyone is guessing that Hobbes is a girl based on relatively high heart rate (162 and 164 at 8 and 12 weeks). I have no idea, but they are starting to convince me it's true. Prior to the HR-based guesses I had no feeling on gender at all, which surprised me.  I guess we'll see in about 7 weeks.

[lindsaymg]

Yes, I thought girl all along.

[kellsbelles]

My husband and I always referred to our future child as a son long before we ttc and I just knew he would be a boy from that time. My grandma before she passed away would always talk about how she visioned us having a son as well which was really fun.

[madringal]

I have been wrong with all three. I am a great mother, obviously.

[Muddled]

My guess is boy. Brad thinks girl. We will see.

I admit I had a moment of wavering at the A/S yesterday, but today I'm back to boy.

[G22]

I've been leaning towards boy lately, but only because "he" slips off my tongue easier than "she". So glad we only have to wait a few more weeks to find out (hopefully)!

Susie multiple "sources" indicate heart rate is an owt. But right 50% of the time!

Yeah, I know.  Right up there with whether you're craving sweet v. savory things.  I'm totally falling for the unanimity of the vote -- you hear something enough times and you start to think it's true, KWIM?  It probably helps that a girl would be the easier naming option for us, so for that reason I'm kind of inclined to hope for it.

I was mostly right. I say mostly because after I got my BFP I immediately felt boy. After my dating ultrasound I felt more girl then about a week or two before my AS I firmly felt boy. I'm having a boy, so my initial and last feelings were correct.

ETA: H never really had any gut feelings about the sex. About 80% of the old wives tales said girl, including the heartbeat which is still consistently 150+. Clearly called OWT for a reason. 

[miamigirl]

My DH has 3 sisters and I have 2 sisters, so we always joke that he's destined to live surrouded by girls. We were right. It's a girl

[aprilsails]

I won't know until the end of August but we're pretty certain girl. Having a boy would actually be a pretty huge surprise at this point.

[kaycee]

Last time my husband and I were both 110% sure it was a boy. We were shocked when they told us we were having a girl and made them check again. This time we refused to guess and we are having a boy.

[cats]

Did your symptoms match the old wives tales?

[speyedr]

I thought boy the first time, mostly because I wanted a boy I think. It was a girl.
This pregnancy I said 'she' and 'her' all the time before our a/s because that's what I'm used to saying at home and it's habit. It's another girl.
My pregnancies have been fairly similar I guess. Zero morning sickness, nausea or vomiting with either, low blood pressure with both

[whiskeyandwine]

I was 100% it was a girl. I was wrong. My "signs" were really about 50/50.

[starburst604]

My whole life I thought my first child would be a girl, and had no doubt when I got pregnant. I would get annoyed when people guessed boy because my nausea wasn't bad. I was right.

[hainesherway]

I had a feeling it was a boy and most of the old wives tales pointed to a boy as well. I could have found out at 10 weeks since I got the MaterniT21 done, but I held out longer so we could find out on Christmas Day. It's a boy!

[wanderingenough]

H and I both thought boy and were right. We were actually calling him by the boy name we had selected starting at about 6 weeks.

[Deleted]

I was about 50/50 last time. I really wanted a boy but didn't want to feel disappointed (we were team green). My morning sickness was SO BAD and my early pregnancy was so different I was certain I was having a girl. Nope, another boy. Not going to Vegas with my instinct!

[nachos]

I'm 3 for 3.

I dreamed about each of them before finding out the sex, and the dreams were right each time.

Old wives tales were right as well.

This time:

-Chinese predictor was right
-wedding ring over belly was right
-fetal heartrate was right

[dojo]

The only old wives tale that was right for me was if you want to eat like a teenage boy, you're having a boy. Although I typically want to eat like a teenage boy, pregnancy or not, so perhaps that's not a fair "symptom".

[imimahoney]

I had a feeling both times and both times I was right. Boy the first time, girl the second.

[patches31709]

I thought boy until the night before our anatomy scan, when I had a dream it was a girl. My dream was right!

[Blackout81]

With my DD, yes, I just knew it'd be a girl. Now my gut is saying boy. I'll found out in a few weeks!
