Anyone have a gut feeling?

macncheese0712 · November 2012

This is probably silly, but I read somewhere that in a study of women who had a strong "gut feeling" about the gender of their baby, 71% were correct. Anyone have a strong feeling? If you have older children, were you ever wrong?

I have been convinced this baby is a boy since the day we found out, though I would be thrilled with a baby girl as well.

I'm guessing boy.
I'm still trying to figure out how many are in there. DH has a strong feeling it's twins again and I had a dream they found triplets in there. I'm really hoping its twins.

With DD we both thought she would be a girl. We were right, but we always had a 50/50 shot. This time around we both have a feeling its a boy. Again, we have half a chance of being right so we will see!

I was so sure DS was going to be a girl. Clearly I was wrong. I was pretty sure DD would be a girl and actually bought her several outfits before she was born--thankfully I was right. I think this one is a boy but only because this pregnancy has been almost identical to my pregnancy with DS.

missyjg · November 2012

I swore my daughter was a boy, I was wrong. I strongly think this baby's a girl, so we shall see.

shelley1002 · November 2012

With DS the first few weeks I swore it was a girl. Then one morning I woke up and knew it was a boy. When we went to the a/s the tech asked if we wanted to know she put the want on my belly and there were the boy parts clear as day.

ETA: No feelings on this one yet.

atchaleigh · November 2012

No gut feelings on #1 and no gut feelings on #2 yet either. We'll see!

jldubb0626 · November 2012

I thought DS was a boy and he was right. I'm leaning girl this time since this pregnancy is different than with DS. But, honestly I'm not sure if it's a feeling or just my preference coming through.

jennipalmer · November 2012

I didn't have gut feeling with my older really I wanted girl because I knew my ex would want to stop if I had boy first. With my second I wanted boy and I just knew it would be boy.

Now remarried my husband has no other children My son and I want boy my daughter and husband want girl. But I have been dreaming of twins and I have more pronounced symptoms, at first I thought because I am older. But time will tell I am 5 weeks tomorrow. I am getting ultrasound at cash place because I am military and they don't ultrasound until 10-12 weeks

I have always thought my first child would be a girl. My mom is the oldest, my dad's sister who I am very close with is the oldest, I am the oldest. Amongst my cousins, all the oldest children are girls except for one. In my grandparents' families all the oldest children are girls. I always wanted a girl first and felt like it was expected.

Now I have this strange feeling that its a little boy, which I am 100% OK with We even have his name picked out.

gemini2005 · November 2012

I've read the same thing. I was convinced I was having a girl last time and I was very wrong. I even bought a few girl outfits. This time I'm keeping my mouth shut!

appying2012 · November 2012

It's so funny that you posted this, because I was just thinking how I feel like the baby is a girl! I just have a weird feeling.

MeganS313 · November 2012

I alawys thought DS would be a boy..and he is

No real feelings yet on this one yet.

luckylindy · November 2012

I'm guessing girl, but I sure hope I am wrong. I want another boy!

I guessed boy with DS, though, and was right.

MrsMcC.10409 · November 2012

DH and I have wanted a girl since we discovered that we might only ever have one child. However, I am 90% convinced this baby is a boy, and we are good with that.

DH told me last night that it would be a dream come true if there was one of each in there. My hormone levels indicate that that is not the case, but the look in his eyes made my heart melt.

SMac85 · November 2012

With my son I always thought he was a boy. This time I feel like we are having a girl because my pregnancy is already so different.

l5e3a2h4 · November 2012

DH and I have both said boy. I sure hope so but we'll see!

jillian527 · November 2012

With DS 1 I felt I was having a boy and was right. With DS 2 I felt I was having a girl and I was wrong. This time I have no real feeling either way yet.

JenR85 · November 2012

My gut tells me its a boy. Although my gut told me chicken pot pie soup from Zoup sounded good for lunch and I can barely eat it. So not trustin my "gut" right now ;

allyxo · November 2012

At first I thought for sure it's a girl, because that is what I really want...

but now I'm thinking boy just because I haven't been super sick and haven't been craving sweets, which are girl symptoms i've heard.. still hoping it's a girl though.

EVA116 · November 2012

I thought DD was a boy but that is because I wanted a boy so badly. One day I woke up and knew she was a girl.

I have had a feeling since day one that this is a boy but who knows.

Erinm278 · November 2012

I'm convinced it's a girl. I have felt that way from the beginning. DH is not so sure..

YellowLily2013 · November 2012

Wanting, hoping, wishing this is a boy. Not even quite sure why. We'd be pleased with a girl too, so I'm trying to be open to either.

But somewhere it does feel like a boy. Can't explain it. No prior history to go off of.

KitT.Kat · November 2012

I was very wrong with DD. I would have put money on her being a boy and had even been referring to her with my boys name. I found out over the phone that she was a girl and had the nurse repeat herself because I was in shock.

thismplsgirl · November 2012

My gut instinct was right with my DD but I haven't had any strong feelings this time. The pregnancy symptoms are exactly the same so that might point to another girl but its still pretty early.
I personally love the gender guesses after the NT scan when you look at the angle of the nub but some people think those theories are just silly so who really knows.

eljayare · November 2012

I catch myself and DH with a few Freudian slips ("he", "him")... so I am thinking it's a boy. We shall see!

aehamilton13 · November 2012

Hubby and I both think boy, but I would be happy with either! I'd like one of each at some point!

Sooo funny!
I knew right away with my first that he would be a boy. To the point where I didn't really think of girl names and sure enough. This time I think it's a girl though the feeling isn't as certain asit was last time. I'd LOVE another boy though.

scorpiomer · November 2012

I just knew DS was a boy and was correct. This time no real feelings either way yet. Leaning towards girl though since symptoms are just so different from first time.

newbeg826 · November 2012

I had a gut feeling DD was a girl and she was. This time around, I don't have a strong feeling, so we will see!

dramaqueen2985 · November 2012

I am absolutely sure it's a girl. I tried to explain my "feeling" to DH and he thought I was ridiculous. Now he's been seeing all these "signs" everywhere and he is 100% convinced it's a boy. So at least one of us will have our gut feeling come true.

meggoxo · November 2012

I'm thinking boy, but that might just be wishful thinking. According to FF, I ovulated about 3 days after we last had sex, so probably all that was left was X sperm

of course I'll be happy either way, I just always imagined having a boy first
