when I was around 10 weeks pregnant I looked down at my belly and said you're a girl arent you :)

although i didnt want to find out officially until after the birth when I had the 20 week scan (I told the person doing the scan I didnt want to know the sex) after I got home and had a look at the CD I saw what looked liked 3 lines between baby's legs.

and well I was right :)]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:29:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593452&title=inklings#593452 <![CDATA[Inklings : We found out (didn't really...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593413&title=inklings#593413 Author: Twinboys2b

We found out (didn't really have a choice having weekly scans anyway) but I wanted girls but I always thought they were boys & got my self thinking boys would be good, no reason to it but just thought boys & Yep - boys they are.]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:12:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593413&title=inklings#593413 <![CDATA[Inklings : I had strong inkling very early...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593286&title=inklings#593286 Author: Troods

I had strong inkling very early on that DD was a girl - I didn't have a preference to sway me but I just had a feeling and was pretty certain about it. Maybe it was because that month we started the BD from CD10 so on the theory that girl sperm live longer I figured maybe a girl. Then it was confirmed when I went for a scan at 16 weeks.]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 23:09:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593286&title=inklings#593286 <![CDATA[Inklings : My DD was uncooperative during...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593193&title=inklings#593193 Author: fallen

My DD was uncooperative during her scan also. I wasn't sure, but my little sister was convinced that I was having a girl. Funny thing was I never came up with any boys names I really liked, but two girls names.

This time around DF would really like a boy, but I think its a girl based on ovulation and when we BDed.]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:26:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593193&title=inklings#593193 <![CDATA[Inklings : We wanted to find out but had...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593171&title=inklings#593171 Author: FreeSpirit

We wanted to find out but had an uncooperative bubba when we went for the scan, so didn't know. I 'felt' I was having a girl but my partner was sure we were having a boy, so when our bundle finally arrived we were thrilled that she was alive and kicking, it really didnt matter what sex she was (even though I was sure).]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:04:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593171&title=inklings#593171 <![CDATA[Inklings : We wanted to find out with Dominic...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593146&title=inklings#593146 Author: busyissy

We wanted to find out with Dominic but he wasn't cooperating when we had the scan. I gave my tummy a wee push to get him to move and round and he crossed his legs! He is still contrary too.
I wasn't sure what Dom was, I had a moment of complete clarity that he was a boy for about a week but then talked myself out of it.
I knew Isobelle was a girl before I even took the pregnancy test, we had a wee peek just to be sure tho.
Trust your instincts now and after your baby comes. A mother's instincts are strong and usually right, or as we tell our DH's always right

we found out with jack, but i was convinced i was having a boy anyway, mostly because i didn't want one

we didn't find out with charli and i was 100% sure i was having a boy until i was about 7-8mths and started having alot of dreams about having a girl. my mum was sure i was having a girl, so i started to doubt myself towards the end, but was VERY surprised when DH said 'we have a girl'

I was 99% convinced we were having a boy - I think helped by the fact that we couldn't come up with any boy names we both liked so when he came out I wasn't surprised at all, actually I'm not sure I even thought about it at the time, I just assumed he'd be a he

I was the same as weegee (but in reverse ;)) and LeahandJoel. We did find out, but I never for a moment thought of the baby as a boy and always referred to her as 'her' (or it >.>) from the very start.

It'll be interesting when/if there's a next one to see if it works out the same way.]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:00:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593083&title=inklings#593083 <![CDATA[Inklings : I thought girl girl girl, I even...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593078&title=inklings#593078 Author: FionaO

I thought girl girl girl, I even had dreams about baby girls, i drifted towards pink sections in the shops and obviously Finn is a boy and everyone always says when they see him that he is such a boy too - so my inklings totally wrong.

I didn't find out, but we started calling him a 'he' quite early on - simply because it was easier/nicer than 'it'. I didn't have any strong feelings either way, but did have dreams where I had a girl and was really disappointed!

I'd like to think I wouldn't have minded either gender, but am glad I didn't have to confront my dreams for real.]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:38:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593054&title=inklings#593054 <![CDATA[Inklings : Yup I "knew" both times...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593051&title=inklings#593051 Author: LeahandJoel

Yup I "knew" both times and was right both times. Don't know why but I was calling Leah a girl from about 8 weeks and Joel a boy from about 14 weeks.

We didn't find out what we were having but I was completely convinced I was having a boy, like totally and utterly convinced. Every single person told me I was having a boy except for my Mum, she thought I was having a girl.

Mum was right as Lauren is very much a girl!

I was completely wrong with Jack, I thought he would be a girl. Mainly because almost everyone in our family (and most of DH's) have girls first.

With this pg I am pretty sure we are having another boy, mainly due to the timing of bd'ing. My parents think we are having a boy as well - but not for the same reasons as me!!]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:53:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593021&title=inklings#593021 <![CDATA[Inklings : I didn't find out but "just...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593017&title=inklings#593017 Author: weegee

I didn't find out but "just knew". At least I was 99% sure.

For those of you who chose not to find out the sex of your baby when pregnant, did you have any inklings about what you were having? Maybe just a kind of suspicion? And were you right?

If I had to put a bet on it, I'd say we are gonna have a boy, but since we're not going to find out, it's all just speculation - based on a hunch.

Interested to see if anyone else 'just knew']]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:47:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23893&PID=593011&title=inklings#593011
