Big Dreamer
I have them all the time and I'm not pregnant yet lol. They are so vivid. I dreamt once that I gave birth in the same hospital I had my DS in (which isn't possible because they don't deliver babies anymore) and I saw her laying on the scale being weighed, and I could clearly see she was a girl. That dream was very long. I dreamt half her life. Had another where we had gender reveal photos done, with a box full of balloons, and when we opened it, blue balloons came out. I don't think they really mean anything, except that I think wayyyy too much about this stuff.

Has anyone had dreams accurate for their first born then wrong with their second ?
Usually my intuition is strong and accurate with just about everything . However I can't help but hope my judgment is being clouded by my desires and sway .
Im 9 weeks pregnant and keep having dreams it's a boy . I've only had one dream that my midwife tells me it's a girl .
My first pregnancy was very similar all boy dreams except 1 and I had a wonderful little boy who lights up my life .
I'm really hoping my dreams are
Wrong this time . I'm scared of having to share my boy love to a second son .. I know it sounds terrible but I can't shake this fear . I really want a girl for my second and I'm getting a little sad that I'm probably having another boy . I know I'll love him but I know I'll always ache for a girl .

Dreams do not predict gender. Even if they seemed to in previous pregnancies. Dreams are our brain's way of making sense of our universe and sorting out our feelings so when we have gender desire it's only natural to dream about our baby's gender both hopefully and out of a sense of fear that we won't get what we want. It's not reliable, please do not stress over it.

IMG_4531.JPG this might sound stupid but I'm wondering if anyone has ever guessed gender by the size of a fetus' foot size . I know it's very early but I couldn't help but notice how huge that foot in the photo looks . If you look closely you can see a bit of the foot print . I have tiny feet myself but my husband and son have big feet . would anyone else guess boy because of the foot size ?

No, you can't tell gender based on the size of a fetus' foot on ultrasound.

About a week ago I had two dreams that I had a boy, then last night I had a dream where I had three little girls (sisters but not triplets).
Honestly I will say, as silly as it may sound, that I felt quite shaken after the boy dreams, and after the girl dream I feel calmer and more optimistic.

Sorry for the long post —-
I have attempted a couple
Times to make a Post on gender blood tests But for some
Reason it just won’t complete on the website end .
I have two questions with stories :
did you end up having a boy or girl ? I know this post is old but my
Dreams for the last two pregnancies were both accurate ( boys) . This time around I’ve had several girl dreams - 1 dream at the time around implantation seeing a girl turned around and I asked if she was mine then got excited thinking she was and telling her she was so beautiful . The next I was told by a psychic that it was going to be a girl . Then I just had random dreams of toddler girls
That were implied mine . I ended up going for a private gender blood test this time and it came back negative ( either female or not enough DNA ) well I thought I went in at exactly 10 weeks and I totally screwed up 😩 I was only 9weeks 6 day ... I don’t know how I messed that up . .so I have huge doubts that there was insufficient DNA . Since then I had one dream with a doctor explaining the results that it was a girl and another dream of a girl that looked like son #1 . Now I’ve had two super vivid dreams . 1st - me giving birth to a possible girl then it ended up having a penis and we concluded it was a boy and the second dream was ultrasound images posted on the walls with clear shots of a penis . NOw I’m freaking out and feeling very strong this is boy number 3 .
I’ve tried looking it up about fetal DNA at 9 weeks but all I can find is sneak peak advertising and I k ow that isn’t very accurate . I did my blood test through a lab at prenatal genetics but it is for 10 weeks or after . The don’t measure fetal traction just test for Y chromosome . Does anyone have experience or input on this ?
Also would love to hear about more gender dreams of those with multiples .

When they have insufficient DNA they come back with that finding. Several people have been told "insufficient DNA" specifically. I'm not sure based on what you're saying in the last paragraph, though...it sounds like this could possibly be some other type of test?
Some people do the Nip-T style tests sooner than 10 weeks. I know of a few people who did them during the 9th week and they were accurate (only one of whom I remember the user name and she deleted her posts, but she tested early in the 9th week, heard girl, and it was correct.) From what I read (no guarantees, but from what I read) the tests are accurate for gender earlier and they wait till 10 weeks+ to be sure about genetic issues. And one day shy of 10 weeks I would take that reading very seriously and expect a girl. I understand wanting to have every i dotted and t crossed, but there is not some magic switch that would get flipped at the 10 week exactly mark, the DNA amount would have been growing by the day all along and I strongly suspect that 9 weeks 6 days is practically the same as 10 weeks.
PS - how did you determine when you ovulated? For all you know you were in the 10th week anyway!
Again, dreams do not predict gender. It's just our brains messing with us. I have had into the thousands of people telling me their dreams and they did not predict their baby's gender...had both people dreaming of successful outcomes that had opposites and others dreaming of opposites that were actually successful sways. It is VERY common for us, even once we've heard gender, to have dreams of having an opposite!

Thank you for the reply . You do have a good point about the different in one day and that is something that has crossed My mind .
I had an attempt on April 21st and got a positive opk on the 22nd . So when I did the test I was around 8 weeks from conception ( 9 weeks 6 days from lmp) . I didn’t do nipt just a private gender test through prenatal genetics centre in Canada . From what I understand NIPT will
Measure amount of fetal fraction/ fetal DNA in mother’s blood so if it is too low then the test comes back inconclusive and then they ask for redraw . but with this particular gender test that I took they only test for Y chromosome . If they don’t detect Y chromosome then it’s either a female or they did not detect enough DNA .
I did go to a lab to have blood drawn though . I wish I just waited a little
Longer .
I ended up calling the company and they said I should have done it at 10 weeks from conception ( which it does not state on their website ) on their website it only says 10 weeks or after and that they can detect the smallest amount of DNA . I find that quite confusing and misleading . I know with my last boy I took it at exactly 10 weeks or 10.1 weeks from LMP and it came back accurate and clearly detected Y chromosome early . . I know every pregnancy is different so I guess I’m just worried I didn’t have enough fetal DNA in my blood to detect accurately especially being at 9.6 weeks . I ended up ordering another test because im going crazy . Hopefully I get another female result .
