If you don't know whether it's a boy or a girl,

Julia-Henry · August 2009

what do you think you're having? I read an article that says that mom's intuition is right about 73% of the time, so the odds are in your favor.

So, what's your guess?

My gut is saying boy, but last time I thought girl until 12 weeks when I became convinced it was a boy (I have a ds), so it could change.

Oh, and if you've already found out, was your intuition right? I'm curious about that 73%..

I had a feeling from the beginning that I was having a boy and at my 20 week u/s it was confirmed.

Though now that I'm close to delivery, I keep having these dreams that the u/s was wrong and it's a girl. But there was no mistaking my baby's "boy parts" so I think it's just nerves.

i felt from the minute I got pregnant that it was a boy and sure enough at my amnio..a BOY!

We kind of refer to the kid as "he"... so that means it's probaby a girl. I think I read somewhere that the older you get, the odds also shift slightly toward girls rather than boys.

But we're not going to find out ahead of theim, either! Gotta have a few surprises in this world!

I thought for sure I was having a boy. Had a girl, which was a really nice surprise. It didn't matter, just wanted a surprise & a healthy baby. Got both.

I think boy and everyone I know has said the same. We didn't find out at the u/s. I bet we have a girl LOL!

I knew in my heart this was a girl....but he is all boy!!!

MrsKLS · August 2009

Everything about the PG is 180 different from my last so i am determined that it's a boy. Only a man could give me such grief!!! Wink

I had a hunch that I'd have a girl, and I was right!

Sassystace · August 2009

With DD, I felt she was a girl from the beginning and I was right. With this pregnancy, I am really thinking boy and we hope to find out if I am right or wrong at our big u/s in a week! That 73% is interesting. I've had lots of friends say they believed they were having one sex only to be shocked to learn they were wrong so I'm not holding my breath on being right Smile

Even though DH and our families wanted a girl, my gut told me it was a boy and I was right! Although like Robyn, I've been thinking what if the u/s was wrong? I haven't had another one. If it's a girl we'll be equally happy but then I have to redecorate the nursery. What a pain that would be. We shall see!

I thought I was going to have a girl when I had DS. For some reason when I thought of being a parent though I always imagined myself having a son. Maybe I was trying to prepare myself for having a girl since it's not something I ever really imagined. All my family and friends kept guessing girl and all the crazy old wives tales pointed to girl. Then just about the week before I had my son, I ran into 4 people I hadn't seen during my entire pregnancy and they all emphatically told me I was having a boy.

At around 7 weeks I got this feeling I was having a girl and continued to have that feeling until my 20 week sonogram when I learned I was having a BOY!

Pamiejane · August 2009

When I first found out I was PG I was sure it was a girl. In the past couple of days though I have been swinging towards boy. It will be interesting to find out.

Puckchick07 · August 2009

I had a feeling I was having a girl. I was right!

ocho2002 · August 2009

I'm convinced I'm having a boy, I'll be shocked in I'm wrong. Big US in a month.

carladillon · August 2009

We had a BUNCH of people predicting a boy for us, just by looking at how I was carrying, etc. So we started thinking towards a boy...but our big US said it's a girl. We've been kinda nervous that it could be wrong too - but I looked up some girl u/s on the internet to see what they shoudl look like - and she definitely looks like a girl! Plus, the peri came in after the big US to verify the sex after the tech told us it was a girl.

ShannonLK · August 2009

I think we are having a girl. I am probably wrong! I have 2 boys so a girl would be nice this time. DH's family isn't known for having girls though. This pregnancy is completely different from my others in the way I've been feeling. It could be because I'm 10 years older though.

I will be perfectly happy with another boy though. A healthy baby is my main concern.

rsd12 · August 2009

I definitely do not have the mother intuition... I have no idea what the baby is. My husband on the other hand knew we were having a boy with our 2nd (we found out with our 1st) & is positive this one is going to be a girl. Honestly, don't care just want a healthy baby.. another little guy would be fun & a little girl would be quite a treat too.. since this is our last ; (

Matildasun · August 2009

I think it is going to be a girl, which means it will probably be a boy.

Jerseygirl16 · August 2009

We don't know. Our big u/s is on the 31st and we are still discussing if we will find out. I want to know without a doubt. DH wants to know but doesn't want to want to know (if that makes sense) and is struggling with it. He will ultimately make the final decision because I feel if one does not want to know the other should not spoil it for them but I really, really hope he comes around.

Anyway, I feel that it's a boy. I don't know if that is because we have two girls already but that is what I imagine the baby is when I think about him.
