I "knew" immediately that our first baby was a boy (and I was right). I have zero intuition this time. Symptoms are different so far but I was expecting that since my body isn't the same as it was prior to #1. I'm curious if your intuition and/or symptoms (old wives' tales) were in line with reality.

With my first I just knew it was a boy and I was right. The second I was so sure was a boy. Nope. Third and fourth I was sure were girls. Wrong again. My pregnancies have all been fairly similar.
I knew she was a girl. Very early on I had a dream that I got a present in the mail, and when I opened it the box was filled with pink balloons. When I woke up I felt so sure. We had a girl name picked out and everything before we officially found out at the ultrasound.
I'm only 12 weeks pregnant so maybe it will come later but so far I have not had any hunch or feeling at all. Boy or girl I have no idea - it might be puppy
I didn't really have a strong feeling one way or the other, but I just couldn't see myself with a boy. And when they told us girl, it was like I already knew.

Like other folks, I "hoped" for boy for #1, and girl for #2 and that's how it turned out. I didn't have any strong intuitive feelings. However, my mom's husband did a kinesiology muscle test on me early in pregnancy both times and his predictions were correct.

With my first, I didn't have a strong feeling either way. I had a small preference for a girl so I started telling myself I thought it was a boy to get myself used to that idea (weird, I guess) and it ended up being a girl.
With the second, I felt very strongly early on it was a boy and it was.
This time, I also feel very strongly it's a boy but we're team green so we have a long time before we find out. I will be thrilled either way, doesn't matter to me.

i didn't really feel one way, but DH was CONVINCED it was a boy, because his family is legit like all boys. he has 2 brothers, mostly male cousins, etc.
yeahhhh....she's a girl. which fits right in with MY family's trend of mostly girls.

I really really wanted a girl the first time and I got DD, and this time I really really wanted a boy and it is a boy. I have this odd feeling that I put out into the universe what I really wanted and somehow something answered. I know that sounds crazy!

I had a dream right before my NT scan that it was a boy. For whatever reason I completely dismissed it and thought it was a girl. It's definitely a boy.
I "knew" DD was a girl and I "know" this one is a girl. Even before kids I've always "known" I would have two girls. We have one frozen embryo left and this makes me really worried that one won't implant when we try again.
With #1 I was 150% sure he was a boy from the moment the line appeared. I called him by name from that time. Lol. It would have been awkward if I was wrong, but he's definitely a boy.
This time I felt nothing till about 16 weeks and then I was pretty sure (85-90%) it was a girl. I think I did truly know but wanted a boy more so left myself some hope. Three ultrasounds say girl so I'm two for two.
It's funny, I kind of thought this baby was a boy until the 16 week ultrasound when they told us boy. And then, I was so skeptical and really didn't believe it. Sure enough they were wrong and at our anatomy scan at 20 weeks it was confirmed that she is in fact a girl.
I think in the back of my mind I did always imagine us with two girls, especially after DD1 came along. I'm a bit sad we won't have our boy (we're about 98% done at two) but I think that two girls is what our family was meant to have.

No. Kind of? but only for one day. Last time, I spent 19 weeks thinking probably boy. The night before the anatomy scan, I dreamed an old lady gave me baby girl socks and I woke up and knew it was a girl and we found out that day and now shes three. This time I don't know again. A couple people have guessed girl including my sister who is really good at knowing.
I thought I was having a girl and I was right, but I'm not sure whether I really "thought" I was having a girl or whether I just really wanted to have a girl and 50/50 swung in my favor.
I "knew" it was a boy. I had a dream and everything. Random people on the street would tell me it was a boy. DH's grandma, who always guessed correctly, said it was a boy.
I *knew* it was a girl and was only thinking of girl names. Everyone was guessing a girl. We were all wrong. When they called to say it's a boy, I asked them 3x if they were sure and what was the chance the test was wrong, lol. She pointed out the penis at the 20 week scan to prove to me, lol. Definitely a boy!
I had a dream we had another little girl, delivered by c-section. We gave her A's name - so... I guess all that came true, though obviously if my dream had us naming her 'Hortense' that would not have happened.
