If you don't know the sex yet, do you feel like it's a boy or a girl? If you know already, was your intuition right? I was right with my son. I knew he was a boy from the beginning. I'm leaning towards girl with this pregnancy, but I'm not as sure. I can't wait to find out  |

I didn't have a strong feeling with my daughter, but that might be because I was protecting myself since we were Team green. This time, I really feel like it's another girl. 7-ish more weeks till we find out.

Ooh that's hard.
With DD I was really, really wanting a boy. There are sooo many girls in my family. I remember having a boy dream too. But nothing really stood out like it could be boy or girl.
With this one, I'm again hoping for a boy but expecting a girl just so I'm not "disappointed".
As for my intuition, it's telling me maybe boy because this pregnancy is pretty different than it was for DD. I had bad breakouts with DD, gagging on toothbrush, food aversions, always was tired, and lots of spotting and bleeding. This time I'm having good skin, no food aversions, only mild nausea after eating too much, more energy, and no bleeding. I know each pregnancy is different but hoping that means the sex could be different too. We shall see!
In good news, I have a girls name I really like so if it is a girl, it wouldn't be bad.

Both my husband and I had strong feelings our DD was a boy. I had many dreams that she was a boy.When dd came out we were both like whoa what?! This time I have no idea, I was so convinced last time and was so wrong that this time I think I just don't trust any feelings I have.

With DS, when people would ask me if I thought baby was a boy or a girl, part of me wanted to say boy just because that's kind of what imagined...but really I had no idea!
This time I kinda feel the same - I have no idea really! But I kind of imagine a boy again.
I also have this whole statistics theory with part of my family. On my Dad's side of the family (my parents divorced long ago) there are currently seven grandchildren - ALL boys. But the interesting thing is that none of the fathers (who determine the sex) are blood relatives. So four random, unrelated men have all produced a bunch of boys! Statistically there HAS to be a girl at some point, right?!

There are so many boys in our families that I just felt like DS was a boy. I wasn't 100% sure, but boy was definitely my guess and he ended up being a boy.
This time while waiting for the results of my pee stick I found myself thinking that I knew I was pregnant and that it was another boy. Right away from day one. There were a few moments of wondering if MAYBE it might be a girl, but I figured boy the whole time.

I'm so terrible, I can't remember what I thought for me first 2 (both boys). This time around I'm hoping girl (and was feeling that way at first) but now I'm think that since we already have 2 boys, that's what this baby is too.

His dad is one of two boys, he had three boys, and MH's brother had two boys (and his two stepsiblings each have a boy). Meanwhile my parents only have granddaughters so far (my sister has a DD and another girl due in Sept). |

With DD I was right. I had a feeling she was a girl from the moment the pee stick dried.
With this pregnancy both MH and I were really convinced we'd be having a 2nd girl and we were wrong lol

With my first, I had no intuition whatsoever one way or another, I would have been equally surprised with either outcome. More people guessed boy, but those who guessed girl were more sure. Turns out she was a girl!
This time I’m equally clueless. DH and I are both from families with one boy and one girl, so if forced to guess I think I would guess boy this time but I really have no intuition one way or another

With my first in my heart I wanted a girl so I thought like the law of attraction if I willed it to be a girl it would be. At 10ish weeks I was grocery shopping and in the cart there was this tiny little transformer toy left behind. I took it home and held onto it and thought it might be a sign from the universe that it was a boy. I still have that little action figure today and it’s a little treasure to me. It was a boy.
With this one I was willing for it to be a girl and kept asking the universe for a sign either way, but it never came. I bought a few girl pieces (swimsuit and newborn outfit) because I love baby girl clothes, but am happy to donate these unused items. And alas it’s another boy so law of attraction has not worked for me.
We did not try shettles but according to our timing this one should have been a girl so I think that theory is questionable. Most of our friends and family have tons of girl children so I kept looking at that and that statistic was never in our favor.
also when I was pregnant the first time my coworker said “you’re carrying all over so you must be having a girl” this comment stung, but is very true I carry all over, but I think I would boy or girl because that’s the way I’m built.

Oh, I forgot! An old coworker once told me that ladybugs were a sign that you would have a boy. Nearing the time we first started TTC we had a bunch of ladybugs in our house! I remember saying "there's gonna be a baby boy in this house" 🐞
Also, for all of my four pregnancy, the Chinese gender prediction chart has always said boy for me.

With L almost everyone thought I was going to have a boy, except my old hairdresser who saw a picture of me at around 20 weeks and said girl. I was leaning toward boy, but I also woke up in the middle of the night with L's name in my head. She surprised me.
This time I'm thinking girl, but after last time I'm not sure I trust my intuition. Also, H has already had the middle of the night wake up with a girls name in his head, and it's a name we agree on.

With my first I was convinced it was a girl because I've always wanted a bunch of boys. So I was resigned that of course I'd have a girl. But I was wrong and it was a boy. Had nofeeling either way for DS2.
This baby I was sure I was a boy, but I was wrong. So my intuition is terrible. Lol.
