Gender "feelings"

paulaanne

I know it's early for some of us to have that "feeling" as to the gender, but anyone have a feeling either way?

I think boy for some unknown reason (even though every person I know tells me that I will have a girl).

I think it's a boy, and so does everyone else.  Not only would I be jumping on the "we're having a baby" train, but it would also be the "we're having a boy" train too.  Everyone I know that's pregnant is having a boy too.  Oh well!  I'd be just as happy with a little girl too.

I've been thinking boy, but the other day, I had an u/s and I just randomly thought---  That's a girl.  My sis had a dream that someday I will have 3 boys.  And I had a dream that they were giving me a chubby little boy at church nursery at pick up, so....  Who knows?!  LOL;0)

I think it is another girl.  Mainly because I feel exactly the same as I did with DD, the morning sickness, etc.

I always thought before I got pregnant that I would have a boy first. Most of my family if not all thinks that I will have a boy. However, at this point I feel like it could be either and don't have an intuitive feeling one way or another (and we're not finding out.) I kind of hope that I don't get a strong sense of "boy" or "girl" since I'm excited to be surprised at my baby's birth!

Sex does not equal gender.  You can't determine a person's gender by their genitalia.  You will find out the baby's sex, not the gender.

With DD I swore I knew she was a girl-- I was buying pink the day after I got my BFP.  I think it is a boy this time, but every now and then I second guess myself--  truth be told, I would love another girl, but obviously I would be over the moon for a boy!

That irks me too...

DH and I both feel like we are having a boy... but we would be thrilled with either option and are so excited to be team green!

I'm still waiting on my dream to tell me! So far every dream, I have been pregnant but no talk of the gender.

In my heart I really think it is a girl, but I think I might have brain washed myself to have these strong feelings, since we really want a girl.

balihaigirl

Yep, I definitely think I'm having another boy.  I feel pretty similar to how I did with DS#1 and I keep having dreams that it's a boy.  Who knows though!  I was dead set that DS#1 was a girl.    I go back and forth about what I want this DC to be -- I really think I'm going to be equally excited either way!

I have no feeling either way.  I kind of wish I did, just so that I could think of the baby as something for now.  But I guess we'll have to wait for the end of September to see

I am hoping for another DD but DH and I think it will be a boy.

trebmal

I feel like we are having a girl and I have no real reason why.  FH already has a daughter and he reallllllllly wants a son but I think I would be a better fit with a girl.  However, I will be delighted with whatever God gives us for our take home baby (goes without saying...I know)

exactly how i have felt.  DH thinks it is going to be a girl though, he is the youngest child and only boy and has 3 sisters and out of 5 nieces/nephews there is only one boy, and he is the youngest as well. So he thinks its a girl. I feel like it is a boy and have felt like that since the BFP!

hillbillysunshine

I guess I just don't get those gut feelings...at least not correct!

Last time I was sure it was a boy...girl.

This time I was sure it was a girl...early guess says boy.

Apparently, I suck at this.

RNmommyof2

I think it's a girl.  I had a dream that I was holding a naked baby girl - that was when I got out of bed and had my positive test.  With our 9 year old I saw her in a dream and knew she was a girl before the u/s too. All 3 of us would love another baby girl.

With DS I knew from day one that he was a boy.  This one I had no feeling whatsoever but was leaning girl.  At my NT scan the u/s tech said she's 90% sure we're having another boy.  Guess we'll see at the a/s in a couple months!

melkolb@yahoo.com

Originally I totally thought girl.  Like there was no way it could be a boy...but for some reason now I'm leaning towards a boy.  I guess only time will tell.  It is exciting and I can't wait to find out.   

The other day I was feeling all grumpy so i went out and bought some yellow gifts for my LO

I've never thought anything but girl. It will be interesting to see if my feelings are on target in a few weeks.

mintea

Add me to the sex not gender correction bandwagon. Sorry! Just trying to spread the word

I strongly have felt that this LO is a boy from day 1. It is hard for me to imagine otherwise and I have no idea why... I don't necessarily want a boy over girl.

lbsunde

I really think it's a boy.  I have had a lot of crazy dreams since becoming pregnant and any of the dreams that have involved me having the baby, it's been a boy!

Must be pregnancy brain, but I don't see the difference?

ladybuggirls99

Pregnancy 1-Had a dream that she was a girl.

Pregnancy2-Had a dream that I was going to have three daughters.

Last week, my doctor told me that Yoda appears to be a girl.  I'll be more than happy to have another girl, but dh will be very disappointed.  He loves his girls, but he really wants a son.

halo_tx

I really think we're having a boy. No particular reason, I just have a feeling. I'll be surprised (but still excited) if I'm proven wrong and it's a girl!

Ok, ok lesson learned: ;-)

"Sex" refers to the biological and physiological characteristics that define men and women.

"Gender" refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women.

We both really want a boy, but I have a feeling it's a girl.  There's no real basis to it; it's just a feeling.

Blah blah blah. If you don't agree with the word, don't enter the post. 

It's not that I don't agree with the word.  The English language and Webster don't "agree" with the word.  They are not interchangeable.

KatelynEA90

Hmm, I don't have any feelings yet. I think it mostly attributes to me really really wanting it to be a boy. Sadly, I'll probably be upset for a few days and have to get use to the idea of having a girl. I will love her all the same and be overjoyed when she is here, but I've always dreamed of a house full of boys.

manda42

I have a VERY strong feeling that it's a boy. I'm also really hoping it is because we've had a boy name picked out for ages, and can't agree on a girl name (first or middle). 

My mom was POSITIVE that both my sister and I were boys, and she was wrong twice. We're planning on finding out, so I guess we'll see shortly! 

cheese.fiend

I was just saying yesterday that I really didn't have a feeling one way or the other, but last night I had a dream that it was a girl.  

 Either way, we'll be absolutely thrilled!  

 {FWIW, I totally agree on the Sex vs. Gender... important distinction!}  

hhartt

I feel like it's a girl too....no reason at all, just a feeling!  We'll see if I am right.

 

As for the gender/sex thing....interesting!  I never knew, but always like learning!!

MamaVantobe

Strongly think it's a girl.  Even went so far as to buy pink socks.  We'll see if I'll be giving them away or not.

nurse1686

I've always felt like it is a boy...however, my husband thinks it's a girl based on his quote "I'm feeling sensitive...it must be a girl".  HE's feeling sensitive??? Haha

liddia

When I was pregnant with DD, I told everyone that I want a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes. (This was a long shot b/c DH has really dark hair and eyes) I got what I asked for!

By the time I was six weeks pregnant with DS, I just knew it was a boy. And I was right!

This time, I'm thinking girl. We'll see. This pregnancy has been very different from my other two. I actually get nauseous. 

ryry1977

I am thinking that is one is a boy, just because the pregnancy is just like my pregnancy with DS.
