Fun comparison for those that know the sex now...

How many of you were surprised? How many knew the whole time? WHat tipped you off? Were all of the OWTs right or wrong?

We just found out on Thursday we are having a boy. I had the intuition the whole time. Since we just announced I was pregnant a few days earlier (we held the secret from everyone for 17 weeks), we didnt have many people doing the guessing game.

I was not at all surprised, I had a gut feeling, and the fact that I had no trouble choosing a boy name at all made it stronger.

The Chinese chart thingy I did on two different websites... One said boy, one said girl.

My friend did the ring trick and it didn't move at all after Tristan, which apparently means no more babies.

My belly is very round and all in the front, and I was told that means boy?

Thats all I did as far as OWT.

I called it at my 6 week u/s. The twins had such radically different heart rates that I knew they'd be different sexes and I called which was which. It's hard to try OWT with twins but I think my mother's intuition was right on!

The Bump's gender chart was wrong both times, but it was correct on different ones that I googled.

The heart rate theory was incorrect for both of my girls. Later in my pregnancy, the ring on a string trick was correct for DD1.

I think I was surprised. Maybe.

I had a miscarriage in February and I was SURE that I was going to have a little girl.. so absolutely sure. No idea why!

This time around I always called baby a "he". I'm not entirely sure that I thought it was a boy.. that's just what I called him.

After I found out that my husband thought it was a boy though.. I thought for sure it would be a girl. What are the odds that we'd both be right?? lol

But nope, sure enough.. we were both right and there's a little dude growing in there Smile

I had a feeling it was a boy, and had dreams it was a boy, but I wasn't too sure, so I never shared it. DH and DD said it was a boy from the time I got the positive HPT. DD always said things like, my brother this, or my brother that, and I always had to correct her and say, it may be a sister, but she insisted it was a boy in there, LOL.

All the OWT pointed to a boy a majority of the time. We did the ring test, and it said boy both times. The Chinese calendar said boy. Heart rate was around 140, the highest ever was 146.

And we found out it's a BOY!

I love hearing all this! I won't find out for another 3 weeks but I have a feeling its a boy.... of course Ill post when we know what it is! Sounds like there are lots of little boys growing!!!

kac22 · July 2012

My first gut reaction when I was early in pregnancy was a girl, but then I started wondering if that was only because I and everyone in our families really wanted one so then I was nope it's probably a boy just cause everyone wants a girl haha

So I had myself totally convinced it was a boy and was actually shocked when they said girl!

But almost every single OWT minus like one or two said girl for me as well.

pepperchanning · July 2012

All OWT's said GIRL, I think... HR was always 140-150ish, so I'm not sure which one that is.

My gut feeling was boy, but I also think I really secretly wanted a girl so badly I convinced myself it wasn't going to be a girl because I'd feel horrible if it was a boy and I had always said "GIRL GIRL GIRL!" So, I tried to only think of all the benefits to having a boy and all the negatives for a girl... hahaha.

It's a girl.

dee12807 · July 2012

I thought that we were having another boy, but possibly b/c I already have a boy. But all 4 dreams I had about going for the A/S it was a girl. I guess my dreams really have come true

Ladylec · July 2012

DH and I thought girl the entire time as well as every single member of our family. Most of the OWTs predicted girl even though we didn't put much stock in them anyway, but it was still a complete shock when we found out it was a boy.

happilyeverafterxo · July 2012

We found out last Wednesday we are having a boy. I had a feeling it was a boy. Most of the OWTs also pointed to boy...no morning sickness, clear complexion, Chinese Gender Predictor...

ETA: My little one's heart rate was always above 155 though, so that one kind of threw me off a few times, even though I know it's not always true.

contreras04 · July 2012

I am now 20 weeks, & we found out at 16 weeks. I was not surprised I wish I was but I knew the whole time it was a girl! Something that tipped my off was that my partner really wanted a Boy and I new he would have been more excited than he was if the ultrasound tech said Boy......(its our first)

GigiFairy · July 2012

I had a strong feeling it was a girl and DH was convinced; DS called the baby "sister".. everyone told me "it's definetely a girl" and it is a girl. The heart rate indicated boy though.

pamiva1 · July 2012

I just found out on Friday and I was thinking girl based on heartrate..it's always above 150 which was the same as DD and higher than DS ever was. I also had a lot more acne in my first tri, just the same as with DD.

bluefirekitten · July 2012

I wasn't surprised at all. I said it was going to be a boy the whole time (just how I felt/intuition I guess you could call it). PLUS, everyone was saying it was a girl and almost all the OWT's said girl, so I told my DH that b/c everyone wanted a girl that it would be a boy. =D
