With Sarah I thought girl all along and was right. With Andy most of the time I thought boy but I wasn't as positive. The last month or so I was pretty sure.

Re: Lets' try again...Instincts about the gender

Everyone thought I was having a boy. I also thought it was a boy for a while but towards the end I started to feel that it was going to be a girl. Viola-->Girl!

As I replied before, reverse psychology.Chat Icon

I wanted a boy the first time and had a girl.

This time, when I found myself wanting a girl rather intensely, I decided the baby was a boy. I was right.Chat Icon

I thought boy up until about 2 weeks before we found out. All my boy instinct went away and I was unsure going into the u/s.

DH thought girl all along and he was right.

For my 1st me and nearly everyone else swore girl and were wrong! This time - not many people are guessing .... and my gut kind of says boy (but I have changed so many times - this is what I think this week) - we shall see in a few weeks.

Re: Lets' try again...Instincts about the gender

For Katherine, I thought boy (but probably because I secretly wanted a girl Chat Icon ) and was wrong.

This time, nearly every single person (I'm not kidding--like 95%)said I was having a boy, but I tended to think girl probably since I already had one and knew what that was like and couldn't imagine the opposite. Just before they pulled Abby out, my doctor asked for any "final predictions." We both said girl and right we were!!

However, long story short...I had no gut instincts either time.

Re: Lets' try again...Instincts about the gender

First time I said "Boy" but secretly knew I was having a girl. I was wrong.

Second time, I said "Girl" but secretly knew I was having a boy. I was wrong.

DH did the opposite & was right both times.

Always bet against my instincts.

eta. Everyone thought I was having a girl with the first one & a boy with the second based on the wive's tales on how I carried, etc.

Re: Lets' try again...Instincts about the gender

With my first I felt it my gut it was a boy. There was just no doubt in my mind, my gut just kept telling my boy. I did have a boy and I think I would have been in shock if he was a girl.

With my second, I physically felt completely different than the first so right away I felt girl. I did have a girl but I dont think it was a gut feeling as much as a comparison that happened to be right.

With my third, I sort of felt girl. He was the only one we found out the gender beforehand so I was a bit surprised when the OB told me I was having another boy.

SAME thing happened to me.

I thought girl all along. We didn't find out.
When he was born, the doctor said it's a boy and I said to Rob, are you sure?
