with DD1 I really didn't have a feeling either way, with DD2 I knew she was a girl I just felt it, if that makes sense. With this pregnancy the minute I POAS I had a really strong feeling it was a boy, but as time went on I kept thinking maybe its a girl, but I think its just me preparing myself in case it is DD3. I guess we'll see in 6 months whether my gut feeling is right or not
Diolu and Hobbers...you ladies are having baby boys!!
With DS1, I didn't have a feeling per se, but I didn't think there was anything OTHER than a girl he could be. I mean, seriously, I didn't even contemplate or THINK we'd have a boy, I just assumed girl, so when they said "boy" and my husband excitedly smacked my leg (because he really, really wanted a boy) I felt like his smack was this huge wakeup call, like a drench of water falling on my head! I had been a health crisis a few weeks before and kept referring to the baby as "she" so it took some adjusting!
With DS2, from the very beginning when I POAS, I wanted to believe girl so badly, but I just felt he was a boy. (Part of that was knowing I BD'ed on O day and I believed very firmly in Shettles back then ...mostly because I knew DS1 came from BD on O day) so I felt he was going to be a boy, and the night before the U/S I was sick in bed because I KNEW what I was going to hear.
This time I knew from the beginning it was going to be a girl. At times, I'd question my sway and my faith and be like 'really?' but deep down I just knew this baby was my Lillian.
So I personally do believe in gut feelings, but I do believe fear can conceal the gut feeling, or you can even 'talk' yourself out of your deep gut feeling.
I love you :)Quote:

But every time I would think about the baby being a boy, it just didn't feel "right" if you know what I mean. Just like when we were about to buy a new house recently....I just didn't feel it, and in the past, I've really felt a belonging in a home that we were looking at. This may be all rubbish, but ya know, I feel this way about us getting pregnant someday...and sadly, I just don't feel it. But I think Indira is also right about you wanting to protect yourself from GD. I would do the same thing, honestly, although I doubt I could stay team green!Quote:

It was SO strong and came from out of the blue, I hadn't been thinking about it or anything, it just popped into my head one day. Needless to say, I didn't win! :p
Actually I had the same experience a few months ago with a contest I entered. I was completely sure I would win, totally confident, and was pretty shocked when I didn't.Quote:

DD1... I just knew was a boy....wrong
DS1.....thought boy....right
DS2.......thought boy...right
DD2......thought girl....right
DD3.....thought boy.....wrong
DD4:.....thought boy....wrong
DS3.....thought girl.....wrong
I was doing pretty good to start off with, but things have just went down hill.
DD1 knew she was a girl from the minute I found I was pregnant
DS1 thought boy
DD2- no clue
