Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

...as to what you were or are having?

I am only 6w/5d but I have such a STRONG gut feeling I am having a . I don't know why but it's like I already know, how weird is that?

Of course I could be wrong but my instinct is so strong that I've convinced myself it's a .

So far at least 5 or 6 people have told me I am having a girl too.

Did you feel like this, even early in your pregnancy?

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

I keep thinking its a girl, but I dont know if its mothers intuition, or if it is just that I want a girl..

I have no desire to look at anything for boys...

I did the chinese predictor, and it says boy...A psychic told me Saturday night that its a girl...so we shall see

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

Yes...i'm convinced i'm having a boy. I don't know why...I just feel it. When i'm out at stores I tend to look at girl stuff more but I really really think boy.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

I thought boy my whole 1st pregnancy, everyone else said boy too and I had a ya just never know! I'm thinking boy now since this pregnancy was so different from my 1st.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

I don't think I have a gut feeling.
I was getting both boy and girl for a while, now it's mostly boy, although some girl still hangs on.....

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

I was convinced it was a girl from about the 3rd month. everyone around me said boy, boy,boy.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

I kept thinking , and according to my last ultrasound, that's what we are having.

I really don't have a preference, but that's just how I pictured my baby from the beginning.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

I was 100% sure I was having a girl. When I dreamed about the baby it was always a girl and everyone told me we were having a girl. Well it's a I was completely wrong and I was actually really surprised when we found out it was a boy. We are really excited though. I guess I have negative instincts.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

Yes, and it was totally, totally wrong!!

To this day people will say I am carrying all , but we are definitely having a .

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

Right after I took a test and found out that I was pregnant I got into the shower. While in the shower something came over me ,telling me "ITs a GIRL". NO lie. I just felt it. Some thought that I was crazy but at 20 week we found out ,yes its a girl. Anyday nowI will be holding her in my arms. I think for some people its favoring one gender over an other but for MOST mommys to be ,I think they know and feel it.Good luck and hope everything turns out they way your feeling.Take care.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

I think I'm having a girl..I get mixed reviews from different people...my DH is convinced its a boy. We shall see...........

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

Yup - I think boy all the way. Just another 17.5 weeks to go to find out for sure

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

i thought for sure i was having a boy and so did everyone else except my dad and bil.. and i had a girl....

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

With my 1st i new at 7-8 weeks i was def having a girl.

My 2nd, I had no clue either way, but i was hoping for another girl and got one :)

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

I'm convinced I'm having a girl, and have just thought girl since about 7 weeks...I'll be completely floored if the dr. says, "its a boy!" when I deliver!
Guess I have to wait and see

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

My stomach is also really bloated. Can increased water retention mean girl? People here at work today are noticing a mini bump and I'm close to 7 weeks.

I heard when your starting to show early it could mean girl but I know everyone is different and that could just be another myth I heard.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

with baby number one i really had no clue. but with baby number two for some reason i just knew it would be a boy. and i was right.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

My gut said it was a girl and we are having a boy.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

We think its a boy. 99.9% of people have said that too. So, it must be a girl!! But i really wish this kid would pop out so we can find out already!!!!!

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

wth my first i just KNEW that i was having a boy...though for the first few weeks i thought girl and then it changed in my head and never went back....and we did have a boy. this time around i have thought girl the whole time. i just don't want myself to think one thing too strongly......i'll be excited either way......if its a girl i'll get into pink mode, and if its a boy than ryan will have a brother only 21 months younger which is great too! the high risk sono tech said she'll hopefully be able to tell at my next appt. i'm 15 weeks today and will be 16 weeks and 4 days then....trust me, i'm counting down til then! feel good!!!!

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

The best is when people are telling me "I hope you have a ________". My response to all those people has been, "as long as it's healthy". So if it's the opposite gender of THEIR wish do I send it back???

People are so STRANGE when it comes to pregnancy!

I've had some inclinations toward one gender over the other, it'll be interesting if it proves true (since it's also opposite the chinese thing and the other quizes I've taken and the wives tails about "positions" during conception), but for me I really think I may want one gender slightly over the other, but really, either one will be a blessing.

Re: Do you or did you have a really strong instinct

Ya know I really do! DH and my mom have both explained to me that they really really want a but I have really strong vibes happening here. I don't know. DH & I have only discussed boy names, but I am really only going over the girl ones in my head. I will be very surprised if the doctor tells me it's a - I will certainly be happy either way of course!
