intuition wrong about gender?

janaeashley

As a first time mom i of course had nothing to actually base my feelings on, but how many of you thought for sure you were having a boy or girl and it ended up being the opposite.

 

Im happy i was wrong but sorta sucks i have bad mommy intuition already!

I was crazy wrong.  Completely convinced we were having a girl, had a girl name picked out, called the baby "she".

 Yep, totally having a boy

It's just another OWT but there is some validity to it (there's a study that shows it's around 70%, but that is just one study so take it for what it's worth ya know?) I was right with my first two, but I don't believe it makes my mommy intuition any stronger or not. I think I just got lucky ;-)

Your mommy instincts will be just fine!

I totally just KNEW with DS that he was a boy (we were team green), and I was right!  I had no feelings either way with DD. This time I again have strong feelings, but this time that LO is a girl (team green again).

I was definitely saying "this has to be a boy its too much of a butthead to be a girl" 

and i dunno something just said boy. So much that i have been completelyyy unconvinced that is a girl even though i had probably the clearest most zoomed in gender shot in the world from 19 weeks. lol i just couldnt believe it was actually a GIRL

i think my thinking it was a boy was a way of making sure i wasn't disappointed because i truly do want a little girl if i had to choose..  i didn't want to feel let down and feel bad for not being happy about my child.

Well I think that trying to convince yourself one way so you're not disappointed (b/c your true feelings are another way) is a little different than intuition. But don't feel bad! Lots of moms feel strongly one way or another and are wrong!

well i wasn't conscious of my "trying to make myself feel not disappointed" until afterwards when i realized hmm i was probably trying ot make sure i didn't fele bad.. lol

Everyone thought girl except me and I was right. We are having a boy!

sunnygator

I was totally wrong!  Convinced I was having a boy but we are team pink!!

janaeashley

good to see that I am not just lacking mommy instinct lol

I was wrong wrong wrong wrong - so wrong that I wouldn't even consider boy's names, boy-themed nurseries and would walk right past the boy's section of clothes.

me too...

I was so wrong. I was so sure we were going to have a boy, but nope, the ultrasound showed a girl! I made the technician show me how she was so sure. LOL.

phillygirl526

I was SO wrong. I actually started to get irritated with the number of people who just "knew" I was having two girls. I thought one of each or two boys, but I told everyone we were definitely not having two girls. DH, on the other hand, walked out of our 6 week ultrasound saying, "well, just so you know, we're having two girls!" How he knew, I'll never know. Apparently the daddy intuition is much stronger over here!

Keri Marie

I was wrong both times... It's ok.

Torani

The first time I was right.  This time I was wrong!  Hey, you got a 50/50 shot at it!

I am positive I am having a girl .. but I dont find out for 2 more weeks. To be honest I will be thrilled with either .. but for some reason I just "feel" like this is a girl. I cant wait to find out  

CBBB2010

With DS I had a feeling all along that he was a boy and I was right.  With LO #2 I was sure it was a girl and it turns out we're having another boy.  If given the choice I would have picked another boy, so I was pretty happily surprised.

jeffsjayme

I was wrong.  Would've sworn girl, but it was boy.

My intuition even before I got pregnant was that our first (and likely only) was going to be a girl.  Looked at the two pink lines on the HPT, immediately thought "girl".

But I spent the next four months psyching myself out and telling myself that it was a boy, just so I could be excited either way and have a "picture" in my head of being a mom of either a boy or girl.  Everyone else thought it was a boy, too; my MIL even bought a blue picture frame for baby's first picture.  We all referred to baby as "he".  Deep down though...I had a strong feeling it was a girl.  I just didn't want to nurture it too much because I was afraid of being disappointed if I focused on having a girl and it didn't turn out that way.

But I was right!  She's due in April

Still havent found out the gender, i really want a girl BUT i have a strong feeling im having a boy...... i guess ill find out in a couple of weeks if my intuition was right

beckstyle

Anyone else have NO intuition on sex? I have absolutely no idea or feeling about what my LO is.....I figured I would but I got nothing!

Taryn M

I was TOTALLY convinced this one was going to be a boy. I didn't even think of girl names or anything because I just had "that feeling". NOPE...it's a girl.

berger8

I was very wrong! Thought for sure it was a girl and we are having a little boy!!

HollieLily

I thought it was a girl and my boyfriend was actually adamant it was a boy! He called it a he and everything. Turns out he was right lol.

Today after my meltdown about not being able to feel my baby move yet, my husband said- "He is nice a happy in there!" I yelled back, "IT'S NOT A BOY!!" hahahha for some reason I feel so sure it is a girl, but we don't find out til tuesday. Watch me be wrong haha.
