Hi

So I'm only like 5 weeks pregnant, but I have no "gut feeling" on this baby's gender. I swayed pink, but I just I can't picture this baby being anything but a boy. Maybe because that's all I know (2 DS's already) or is that just my gut telling me that's what it is? Did anyone else have a gut feeling about their baby's gender and was it right or wrong?

With my first two I knew they were boys, especially the further along I got. This time I really really feel like it is a girl. Hoping my instinct is 3 for 3.

With my first, I knew it was a boy before I knew for sure I was pregnant. With the second pregnancy, I knew it was a girl from the very beginning, but never had confirmation of that since I miscarried at 10 weeks. After that, I didn't get any gut feeling with my next pregnancy, which was another miscarriage at 9 weeks. With my last pregnancy, I knew very strongly that he was a boy, but not until I was in the second trimester.

with ds1 i was sure he was a boy and he was, i knew from like 10 weeks on, no idea with ds2 and i was sure ds3 was a girl. Whilst its fun to guess please don't set too much by it i've seen a couple of girls (myself included) crushed when they heard boy as they were convinced it was a girl. Sometimes intuition works but if you are sure swaying won't work for you or that you'll surely get lucky this time round you can block it out

I knew with Ds1 and 2 and was right. I had no feeling with DS3 at all until the 20 week scan, the second I saw him on the screen it hit me like a truck, all boy. No feeling with my angel and found out when I lost him. No real gut feeling with this one either but thoughts of its a girl keep popping up, but I'm betting it's a boy. :)

:fx: for you cinns!!
My gut says its a girl. But my head an logic keep saying boy.

But I'm never certain if its my gut that says girl, or the deep seeded desire I feel.

Ah well, we'll find out for certain on the 1st of December.

Did you have a gut feeling with your son Lassie? I am pretty sure i had it with DD, but maybe because DP already had 2 girls i was just sure i would get one too with him.

I don't really remember :( But i do remember that my grandmother - who had correctly picked the gender of all 6 of her great grandchildren said 'girl' so it never really occurred to me that he could be anything else LOL it was HUGE surprise at the 20 week scan.

I'm only 6 weeks pregnant but my gut instinct says that this is another boy. That would be my 3rd and final! I'm not sure if it's actually an instinct or if I feel that way because my sway was weak and I don't want to allow myself much hope for a girl. I've already started referring to the baby as 'he', I had a very vivid dream that I went for an ultrasound and saw a clear penis. Can't help but think that the dream was a sign!

With my first DD i thought Boy, with my second DD i knew she was a girl, and with this one i think boy again. I really dont want to jinx myself but i have had about 5 dreams about this baby being a boy... again another one last night! First dream i have i was about 5 days pregnant and i gave birth to him, but woke up before i saw his face, second dream and i saw him on an ultrasound and i was really angry with DH because he made me look at the screen and i didnt want to know, thrid dream was he was a newborn and sitting in a nappy and blue singlet on my knee and he had really dark hair like his father, forth dream was i saw a perfect boy nub at my ultrasound... and last nights dream he was sitting in a car seat in the back of my old car and my father was there and asked what i had, i opened up his nappy and say his little willy LOL I didnt have any dreams like this with my first 2 DD's. Im going with my instinct.... pray im right!

I knew my DS was a boy, and turned out to be right. This time I was for sure that it was a girl, but I was wrong. :( I had such a strong feeling, even had dreams that I gave birth to a girl. I desperately want to go ask the ultrasound tech to do it again and tell me I'm right. It's such a weird feeling.

I was like that with both of my boys - from the moment of the BFP I felt they were girls, but around 15/16 weeks I just knew they were boys.

I remember with my first son I had to have a scan at 16+5 because my first child, Lily, had a chromosomal abnormality and they needed to check my son didn't have it. Anyway, the night before I dreamt I was at the scan and they told me "It's a BOY!" and I got SO angry in my dream, I threw a massive hissy fit because MY baby was a GIRL! Bit funny... Next day: "It's a boy!!" No hissy fit, just tears of joy :giggle:

With my second at about 15 weeks I had another dream similar to it where I dreamt I was walking down the street with my pram and met a friend who commented what a sweet baby boy I had gotten. And sure enough, at 20 weeks scan they said they were 90% sure it was a boy!

So my initial gut instinct have been wrong with both my boys, but later my instincts told me they were boys and were right. So I guess subconsciously I knew they were both boys!

I only had a strong feeling with my third. I told everyone it was a boy from the beginning and wasn't surprised at all to be right. I had no gd with him.

I did hope for a girl with my first and assumed I would have one, but I wouldn't call it a gut feeling. I was just naive. lol
