I was sure this baby would be as early as my first (39&0) but she stayed in a bit longer (39&5). I also thought she'd be a tiny one like her sister (5'11) but she was 7 lbs and the same length!
I thought labor would be quick and "easy" and was half correct. Quick, yes! Easy, heck no! Way harder than #1, but thankfully, quicker!
Ftm here. Not team green but early on everyone guessed boy and they were correct. Guessed late baby and he was 39w and ready before induction date. Everyone guessed long labor for ftm and I barely made it to the hospital - 4.5hr from first contractions felt to delivery, 90min of which were at hospital
3rd time Mom. My first was about a week late and my second about a week early so I joked that my third would be on time... and she was! 1 day early! My pregnancy was so different from my first two that if we hadn't have known, I would have said boy but, alas, we are blessed with three girls!

I was sure DD would be a girl because I've always wanted boys, and that's just how my luck usually works! Haha. So ecstatic and in love with my baby beauty though.
I was CON-VINCED she could come late. Due date was November 27, and I was sure she'd come December 1-2. Wrong! November 23 is now the best day ever.

My friends have always joked I would have 12 girls bc I would keep trying for a boy since that's what I wanted. Fortunately I did get a boy and most likely he is it
I was leaning more towards girl than boy, so that was a surprise. I assumed baby would be similar size to older brother. DS2 came out 2 lbs. heavier. I felt/hoped I would go "early". Delivered slightly early based on O date, or exactly 40 weeks based on LMP. Thought labor would go faster than DS1's induction. Ended up being about double. Ugh.
I had a feeling DD was a girl from the beginning and she certainly is. I kept saying I thought she would have more hair than DS and low and behold she has a full head of dark dark hair. At my ultrasound at 36 weeks they guessed her to be approximately 6.4 lbs and said I could expect to have an 8.5 lb baby by due date. Everyone of my friends and family said no way cause my belly was too small. Turns out they were right. She came 3 days early and was only 7.7lbs. Man was I grateful they were right on that one lol
4th time mom here and with this pregnancy I was pretty sure I was having a boy from my awful morning sickness and was right. Knew he would come early I was thinking 10/17 or 10/19 but instead 10/24 still 37w (they kept changing my due date) Thought he was going to be atleast 6lbs (he measured 3lbs and 3weeks ahead at 29w) but he was only 5lbs 8oz.
I had a tendency to say he/him a lot while I was pregnant but at the time I tried to tell myself it was because I was just used to boys because of my SSs. Looking back I think it was just a strong feeling.
I also had a really strong feeling at one point about the date he would be born. I was only off by 2 days. I thought Oct 25th and he was born on the 27th via scheduled C/S. We would have done the 25th but they wanted to wait until at least 39 weeks and the 25th was a day before. I didn't know the Dr that would have done the C/S if we did the 26th so we went with the 27th.
So, my hunch was right in that he is a boy and that he's big-ish (9 lbs). Though I think the second part was more of a hope because of my weight gain.
I was not, however, even close to his due date. I originally hoped he would put us out of commission for Thanksgiving, but because DD was so early I kept anticipating him coming close to 39 weeks and yet he needed to be induced at 41, Thanksgiving night. So we hosted Thanksgiving AND he was late. I was all sorts of wrong.
Re: Guesses accurate?
I was shocked to find out DD is a girl. I thought boy and so did 95%+ of others.
I predicted overdue and was right about that.
