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'

I didn't find out but "just knew". At least I was 99% sure. For some reason I started saying "he" instead of "the baby" very early on, and so when they pulled him out and said "it's a boy" I wasn't surprised at all!

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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'

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 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).

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
