Oooo I would be really interested to know this. I purposely didnt find out what I was having as I was waiting for a "feeling"....all I am getting is kicks in the bladder.

I did find out at the scan but with Maya I was absolutely certain she was a girl from day one and I was right. Had no such inclinations with the gremlins, altho must confess to being very grateful I ended up with two girls and not two boys - boys sound like hard work! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I only picked out a boys name before we went for our scan. It was really cool. I was REALLY sure that we were having a boy. I still remember ringing the SIL and telling her that we were having "an Ethan!!!!" ------------- formerly known as "Bee" Ethan ~ March 2003 Big 6 year old school boy!

LOL - I was 100% certain that Christopher was a girl and everyone told me that a mother knows so I never doubted myself at all. We only had pink things and girls outfits and when he came out, mum said to me, "Oh - its a Christopher" (my first son was always going to be Christopher) and in my post labour state I yelled at her "thats not even funny" and didn't believe her till they showed him to me. It was difficult getting used to referring to him as a "he". Mum had to rush out to get him some clothes.
So - that gut feeling can sometimes be waaaaaaay off  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I thought we were having a boy, everyone told me we were having a boy, and when she was born, they said congrats its a wee girl.....I said "Its a What?", and then had to lean over a have a look myself .
We hadn't thought of any girls names but luckily hadn't bought any 'boys' clothes. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I had convinced myself somehow that Hannah was a boy , never found out at scan, didn't know until birth that she was a "she" 
But with the other two I knew as soon as we picked their names, somehow they just felt spot on and the alternative name was so hard to pick. ------------- |

I was right both times. We didn't find out with Jacob, but I "knew", and with Charlotte we had a "special circumstances" scan at 32 weeks so we could tell my dad the sex of the baby before he died. Our hospital are really tight with scans, and baby was modest at 20 weeks and wouldn't show, and we couldn't get another scan even though we offered to pay. The hospice organised it for us when it became very apparent he wouldn't even make christmas, let alone feb for baby, and Rod and I had bets on "sexual favours" on what the baby was going to be, he was adamant it was a boy, but I was sure it was a girl. I won!!! (and for winning I didn't have to put out, which was my prize, the not putting out bit!!) ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

I sure Ben was a girl, even when he popped out I didn't even bother asking the midwife or hubbie I was soo sure, we'd even decorated "her" room with a girlie border, oh well!!!!

Yes most definitely. With both Conor and Nyah I decided at about 6-8wks that they would be what they are. When I had Nyah the first thing I asked after she was born was "is she a girl?" didn't ask if she was ok.. until after the sex was confirmed by the mw.
With this one I'm thinking boy. Will see on Thursday if I'm right.. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Mother's Intuition...I most definitely knew I was having a girl first time round, we didn't find out at our scan. When 'it' was born the 'helper' MW said what a "handsome little fellow", DD's Dad said 'it's not a boy!' She was very embarrassed, LOL! She asked if we knew what sex it was - no, we just 'knew'
This time round, when we got pregnant we REALLY wanted a boy so we found out at our scan, I wanted to make sure it was a boy!!.... It is
My mum had a 'reading' done about 8 months before I got pregnant & the woman told her I had a Male spirit around me. So I kinda was expecting to have a Boy this time! ------------- Jess  http://lilypie.com">

First time I felt I would be so disappointed if it was a girl and I got a boy.
This time I felt I would be disappointed if it was a boy and I got a girl so I'd say I knew. |

Well, I am thinking it will be a baby, but more often than not it feels like it is a giant tapeworm. I guess it is only 9 weeks or so till I find out which of those feelings is the most accurate! Lol! -------------

With Andrew I didn't really know or have any feelings as to what "it" was until I was in labour. I had so many scans and in all of them noone could see to tell us, until the last scan I had 3 days before I had Andrew and I was so angry at my OB for putting me in hospital I told him didn't care what I was having and really didn't want to have the baby at all (pregnancy hormones). Once I was in labour and pushing I told my MW that I was having a boy (she knew as she had spoken to my OB) and she told me "I think you are right". Josh, once he started moving I knew straight away he was a boy. My mum also went to a psycic before I had my scan and the lady told her that she saw her eldest daughter (me) happily married (which I am) and I had 2 little boys beside me. Mum didn't tell me what the psycic saw until after the scan about me. Once we got into the room to have the scan I made the person doing the scan find out the sex for me as soon as she could see it. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I too think I am having a boy, but I honestly don't mind having either, our friends and family are split 50/50 on boy/girl. Only time will tell I guess and that will be on the birth day, even its name is a secret that only we know what the name will be! Keeps everyone guessing ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

with jack, i was sure i was going to have a boy simply for the fact that i really didn't want a boy and everyone i knew had a girl. when we had our scan and asked if you could tell what it was the sonographer said 'yes definately' and zoomed in...i said 'oh what's that' in a disappointing tone knowing full well what it was. needless to say the next day i was over it and love my boy
charli, i was 100% certain she was a boy! we left it a surprise so i was buying unisex/boy things. it wasn't until a couple of weeks before she was born that i had a few 'it could be a girl' moments. when she was pulled out and DH said 'we've got a girl' and had to get him to repeat it a few times, i was so shocked later my mum asked me if i wanted anything, i said yes....pink stuff!! we had nothing.......a great excuse to go shopping
so, in short it doesn't always pay to trust your gut feeling------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

I knew we were having a girl as soon as I knew I was pregnant. Amelia's name was 'sent' to me really early on, and we didn't have a boys name picked (as a 'just in case') until 3 days before going to be induced. ------------- Selina http://lilypie.com">

i dont think my mummy intuition works very well!!
I didnt really have any 'feeling' with Bay but everyone was sooooo adament that it was a girl which made me want a girl! so i was disapointed when i was told he was a boy but obviously i love having a boy now because i wanted another!!...and still everyone was so sure that Astin was a girl but i was sure he is a boy so i made bets!! lol needless to say there are quite a few people who owe me money now!! lol!!...in saying that though - im not sure whether i "knew" that Astin is a boy or whether i just really wanted him to be so got it in my head??? who knows but i have 2 beautiful boys

We both thought I was having a girl as were all the guesses. My Grandfather was the only one who thought I was having a boy. It is quite amusing that Caleb shares his birthday with the only person who was right.

| I always knew that I was having a boy, so I wasn't surprised when the scan said I was having a boy! But lately I've been having these weird 'OMG what if it's a girl!!!' moments.. Because the scan person said she was only 90% sure.. :P |

i was positive that my daughter was a boy so i was shocked when they said at the scan it was a girl.
however this time i knew i was having a boy im not sure how but i was right.
