What Did You Think You Were Having...

[goldenbird]

Vs what you are having?
So many of us know what team we're on if we are finding out. So did you have any feelings/intuition on boy or girl and were you right?

[goldenbird]

I have thought for awhile that this baby was a boy. But, that had me convinced it was a girl because I never am right about these things. So when I saw 'its a boy' on the screen I started yelling. I was so shocked.

I had a fleeting disappointment that we may never use our girl name. We may be OAD. But that quickly went away and I'm so excited.

I had a feeling it was a boy and we found out today I'm right! I was second guessing myself too

[tarheelmom]

I was positive that this one would be a girl and it is.

When I was pregnant with DD, all the old wives tales pointed to a boy, so I was really surprised to find out girl. I had so much energy, great skin and hair, all belly (no hip/butt weight gain). Then with DS, I felt awful the whole pregnancy - sweating constantly, out of breathe and completely worn out. The sweating, over-heated feeling continued after he was born, and I was afraid it was my new normal. Then I got pregnant this time and it was like everything reset, energy back, feeling cool for the first time in over 2 years, it was amazing. Definitely reminiscent of my pregnancy with DD.

Hormones are weird. That was the only explanation I could get from my doctors as to why my pregnancies were so different.

I truly had no idea, I just said boy because my 3.5 year old old kept saying that’s my baby brother Kayson. So I just figured it was some sort of toddler intuition. Turns out she was wrong and she’s getting a sister instead!

[kaeguri]

I had hopes it was a boy, and H (who was right the first time) said boy too. DD said it was a froggy. We were all wrong. It's a girl! Which kinda makes me sad, only because I can't use the name I wanted and name him after my dad. And now I have to think of a girl name, and the first time around was so stressful. But yay sisters! And yay not having to buy all new clothes!

[pickles]

I think I’m having a boy because my skin sucks again. That’s all I got. We will find out in a week when we get the Panorama results back!

I had strong girl feelings both times and was right both times. I would have been legit shocked to find out boy either time because I was certain it was a girl. I privately called DD by the girl name we had chosen for months before she was born even though we were team green with her.

[PennyCandy]

I had a fleeting feeling it was a boy and put it out of my head because I felt so different in the first tri. Everyone else had us convinced that it was a girl too. That fleeting feeling was right. With DS1 I had a a very vivid dream early on that he was a boy.

[cornflakegirl]

The day I found out that I was pregnant I felt girl right away. My pregnancy with DS was pretty much like this one except for the food aversions. He wanted everything and her not so much.

[klw]

I would say refer it baby as a girl even before I knew, but I think that was habit from talking about DD. So far the pregnancy and symptoms have been exactly the same

[catspajamas2]

I thought boy, we're having a girl. I feel like we found out so early this time that I didn't have that long to get it set in my mind what we were having.

[vvvvvfee]

we are not finding out this time and i don't have a strong feeling either way.

we didn't find out with our 2 previous. with DS1, i thought he was a boy and he was. with DS2, my pregnancy symptoms were different and i really thought it was a girl (and so did DS1 and DH)-- and, surprise, another boy. so this time i'm just assuming that it will be a 3rd boy.

[potatocakes]

I really hoped girl, but had a feeling in the back of my head it was a boy because my symptoms are different this time around, and also I can handle eating meat sometimes, rather than not at all.
H and DD really wanted a boy, so that's what they guessed.

[ohreally]

We're team green but I'm making it official here that I'm team pink.

I have to declare it before I change my mind again!

[sven]

We just found out last night that it's a boy.

I figured, once I found out ds1 was a boy I was pretty sure I'd never have a girl, as everyone I know that has a boy first has all boys (I know this isn't logical but my brain doesn't like logic lol). Seriously between my two friends and I we will have 7 boys.

Lol, I had some of this logic happening too. Every family on our street has all girl children (these 2 will make a dozen), so I felt like once we bought our house we were destined to be an all girl family.

ETA, families with preschool and early elementary aged children. There are some teenage boys on our street. But even the olds with adult children have mostly girls.

[notmoose]

I was right with both my previous kids. I mostly feel like this one is a girl. I plan to be team green, so I'll see in July if I'm 3/3 on guessing.

My main reasons for guessing girl besides just a "feeling": my hair sucks, my skin sucks, and I look fat everywhere. These were all symptoms i had with DD and not DS.

[hemar2015]

I had a dream where my deceased grandmother appeared and told me she was visiting me in my dream to let me know I was going to have a daughter. A couple weeks later it was confirmed that we are team pink. I'd like to think it actually was my grandma and not just a crazy pregnancy dream. <3

I had a strong feeling my first was a girl and I was right. I have a feeling, although less strong, that this baby is a girl. I get my genetic testing results this week but I think we will wait a few weeks and maybe do a gender reveal cake or something with my parents and brothers family. We’ll see if I actually still want to wait when I have access to the results. My pregnancy is very similar to first so far (not many symptoms). I think my skin was bad the first time early on though and that hasn’t happened yet.
