Baby Intuition

While pregnant with DS, I had dreams about my son before I knew I was pregnant. With this pregnancy I've got nothing. The only thing is I keep referring to the little bean as "they" and I don't know why.

So throw it out there - any thoughts or hunches?

Re: Baby Intuition

  • I have nothing so far (but I didn’t with my son either). My son keeps referring to his little sister (even though he’s been wanting a brother), so we will see if he’s right.

  • I think it's a girl, and so does my daughter. Though she sometimes switches and says boy. I think I'm destined to be a mom of girls until we adopt. 
  • @christycalifornia I am in the opposite boat, both DH and I are convinced I am going to be a boy mom. So, we will see what happens the second time around! I have so many fun scenarios playing out in my head either way it turns out.

  • I knew my son was going to be a boy. I just knew. Now part of me really feels like I'm destined to be a boy mom. But, my hcg level is much much higher this pregnancy than last, and I have been having much more intense early symptoms than last time. I read some studies that suggest higher hormone levels with girls than boys, so I'm thinking maybe it's a girl after all. No real intuition yet like I had with my son though. 
  • I feel like I’m a boy mom too, but I am assuming it’s just because that’s all I know. I agree with what you said @djh513, I have so many fun scenarios imagined either way!

  • I knew I was pregnant with a boy and my friends laughed and said because I was dead set on a boy, I’d have a girl. It was a good day when I got the last laugh. I knew with our daughter she was a girl. I wasn’t 100% sure with our third but wasn’t surprised to learn he was a boy. My son made the comment the other day that he’s having a little sister. He doesn’t know we are pregnant yet (telling him next week) he was right about his sister, so I trust his intuition.

  • I just knew my first was going to be a boy. But this time around i keep thinking it’s a girl. From what I’ve read the female sperm is slower but lives longer so if i ovulated late it could be a possibility. Plus some of my symptoms are a bit different this time. But who knows still 50/50. We are planning on doing the dna test again, 
  • Up until I got pregnant, I thought for sure I was going to be a boy mom. Now, I have this overwhelming sense that it's a girl. 

    H and I have 5 siblings combined and all 5 of them have one boy and one girl. If we have 2 boys we will be breaking the mold! 
  • I got nothing! I really wanted a girl as my first, because I wasn't sure we would have another. I didn't really get a feeling about it, just wishful thinking, and it turned out to be a girl. 

    I have 0 intuition so far this time either. I finally told my husband yesterday that I was pregnant after the betas were confirmed as okay. Right off the bat he said he knows it will be a girl. 

    I am still having a hard time believing I am pregnant again! Maybe once it sinks in my instincts will kick in
  • I have a feeling the baby is a girl. We keep referring to the baby as she. It doesn't matter what we have, the goal would be to have one of each, but my hubby wants a little girl so bad! I have had some bad acne (think teen years) and he says every morning "I love you, but the acne is making you ugly therefore we are having a girl."

    It’s amazing you guys have such accurate intuition! Sounds like it’s spot on 50% of the time!

  • @afoul you have to be pretty bored and pathetic to spend your Saturday lurking on a board you don’t belong on just to bring down others on a lighthearted thread. Completely unnecessary. 
  • I guess there was a 50% chance of my getting this reaction. Maybe I shouldn’t have followed my intuition.

  • @acunamatada I had a feeling you were going to say that...

  • @julesf817 The joke area is being psychic. This would’ve been funnier if you said, “Ironically, my eyes rolled so far back in my head that now I actually CAN see the future.”

  • We tried Shettles method for a boy. It may be a complete crock, we’ll see

  • What a buzz killer must have nothing better to do than trolling around. 
  • @sopranoali that worked for us with DS! BUT DH only has brothers so I'm convinced we'll only have boys regardless. 
  • We tried Shettles method for a boy. It may be a complete crock, we’ll see
    I guess you can say we did too since it looks like i ovulated later than i thought and we only had sex on predicted O. DH has an old brother who as a nephew so i had a feeling our first would be a boy. Just fun to guess wouldn’t be disappointed with either or.
  • @kat029 just to be clear, the eyerolls were due to the troll, not the topic :P 
  • I 100% knew DD was a girl.  I’m not sure this time.  I’m not as nauseous which makes me think boy, but no real intuitions about it yet.  
  • I had a very vivid dream of having twins before I got my bfp. Twins run on dh's side. DH is confident we're having a boy. Im rooting for a puppy.
    Ooh! A puppy would be exciting!

  • From the day I got a positive pregnancy test with my son I knew it was a boy. This time around I’m feeling girl but cautiously. If it’s a girl it will probably be our last baby and if it’s a boy I’ll probably want to try one more time for a girl. I would be thrilled with all boys but I would also love to experience having a daughter. Only God knows! 
  • @christycalifornia I LITERALLY get paid to write jokes. So yeah, I think I’m a little bit funny.

    Guys, you obviously don’t want to play with me so I will totally leave you alone, but in all seriousness, there’s no such thing as baby intuition, and I honestly think this topic might be distressing to a first-time pregnant woman who doesn’t have any sort of “intuition” about her baby. She might feel like there’s something wrong with her connection to her pregnancy.

    There’s nothing wrong with saying, “Hey, I think my baby’s a girl! We’ll see.” But don’t say you knew your baby’s sex. You didn’t. You guessed the outcome of a coin flip correctly.
