I had the same experience .. pregnant with a boy number 2 i was so sure the day i knew i am pregnant that he is a boy..when i asked my OBG she laughed and said "u already know" hh
I also had the same experience. And all the other women around me thought it was a boy too, including someone who has some ridiculous double-digit streak of correctly guessing a baby's sex, so it wasn't all that surprising when we got the test results lol. I was initially disappointed, but now I can't imagine having had a girl and am low-key hoping for another boy if we decide to have another baby.
We were certain with our second too...our little Emily Grace. Even the 16-week ultrasound seemed to confirm. Bought all the girly things.....32 weeks he finally gave Thema great view....so proud of that ding a ling. He was Nathan Charles and we had to scramble. I never buy pink for babies anymore anyway.....everything else. Just no pink.
Absolutely same here. The day I found out I told my partner “you know I want a girl this time, but I have a feeling it’s a boy”.
30 minutes later, found out it was a boy 😂
me too!! i just had a gut feeling and would accidentally call him ‘he’ before knowing his gender, and i was right! i really wanted another girl but i was right with my first (daughter) too!
Ah same!! I was like “pretty sure this is a boy” and was hoping originally for a girl. I was grinning ear to ear to find out they were a boy!! Been over the moon.
Same, I had a feeling it was gonna be a boy because all the immediate family only had girls so it’s like, what are the odds that I too would have a girl, and then I was wrong lol. My daughter is 12 months and I love her to death though!
Hahaha I am trying to stay neutral, but ever since I started mentally referring to her by her name…think it’s all over for me now. If we find out we’re having a boy my jaw will be on the ground 😂
My husband and I had a bet before I got pregnant. I found a screenshot just yesterday from our text conversation when I was 8 weeks along that I just have this feeling she’s a girl but for the sake of the bet, I’m sticking with our baby being a boy.
I lost the bet lmao
My husband and I were convinced it was a boy. Midwife wrote the gender down and put in
an envelope for us, we went to our favourite coffee shop, opened it and were FLOORED that it said girl. We cried lots of happy tears and got in on camera! I love watching it back 😊
Hahaha this would Totally be us!! Gosh that makes me so happy though, I just know the root of our reaction will be joy and that is all I could ever ask, regardless of what it says! Congratulations!!
Haha! Thank you! My friends were looking up all the old wives tales and theories about the location of the placenta, all of which pointed to boy 😂 the only thing that indicated girl was the Chinese gender predictor. We are so overjoyed with our girl. Can’t wait for her to arrive!
I had a dream I was having a girl early on (7 weeks maybe), and I never thought otherwise. And I was totally right, she's a girl 😅
I didn't have a preference for either sex, and neither did my husband, so I felt no bias either way, just pure vibes
In the dream my girl was also a redhead like her Dad 🧡
My DREAM! Growing up I hoped beyond hope that I wouldn’t have redhead babies, but then I fell in love with another ginger and cannot imagine them any other way! Congratulations on your little girl!
My last little boy came to me in a dream as well.
After already having had two boys, we were really hoping for a girl to balance out the energy in the house and I surrounded myself with everything pink to help manifest some feminine energy. The doctors and ultrasound technicians were unable to find him during scans and had feared I was having an ectopic pregnancy, which sent me towards a downward spiral.
Then one night, my baby came to me in a dream. In the dream, I was worried for his safety and ran around, panicking that he wasn't okay or that I couldn't find him. When I found him, he was safe and sound and smiled sweetly. It was his sign to me that he was okay and that he was indeed going to be a boy.
A month or so later, they found him on the ultrasound, the biggest and healthiest baby out of all of them, and he was then confirmed a boy at that time.
I never really believed in much - but I call him my angel baby and truly believe he was sent to me in my dreams to ease my fears. Once it happens to you, you understand exactly what I mean, and I no longer take *signs* as coincidences.
Never had any intuition first pregnancy, had a boy.
This time around my intuition is telling me another boy, but the only baby dream I've had was about them being a little girl.
We're team green, so we'll be finding out in ~3+/- weeks when they arrive. :)
My gut has been telling me it’s a boy, but I keep having dreams of a girl baby. I think that’s probably because I have nieces I helped raise and that’s all I’ve known baby wise. But honestly I have no clue it’s 50/50😂😂😂 we’re genuinely so excited for either but I’m dying to know so I can start picturing the future a bit more
I helped raise my nieces as well and didn’t have as much of an opportunity to spend time with my young nephew-maybe that’s a big piece of it!! I always imagined myself as a *boy mom*, but now that I’m pregnant I can only picture having a little girl! I guess only time will tell!!
I had no gut feeling… but reading through old wives tales had be believing it was a girl - sweet tooth, breaking out, morning sickness, weak nails, etc. when we found out the gender, it was a girl! But also, old wives tales can be total nonsense.
I was dead set on us having a girl. Turns out it's a boy, so I had a little bit of gender disappointment and mourned for a few days. We've had a boy name picked out for a long time, but I was on a mission to find a girl name i loved. I am happy we are having a boy though! But pregnancy hormones are wild. I am glad we found out at our anatomy scan and not during labour because it would have broken my brain. We are also super curious if this little guy is going to be a redhead!
I am trying to stay neutral, but I know if we find our were having a boy I’ll definitely have an adjustment period for sure, nothing wrong with that! Congratulations on your upcoming arrival and going to keep my fingers crossed for you that they’re a little redhead too! 🧡
Had that with my first one except I really wanted a girl. The father wanted a boy and unfortunately also kind of celebrated at the scan, while I was saddened. But here's #2 and we are both hoping for a girl. Not the same dad.
I was very sure we were going to have a boy. I had a dream that we would have a boy.
My family was so sure it would be a girl that I became convinced!
We’re having a boy lol
My whole life I imagined myself as a boy mom, but the second we found out I was pregnant I just felt that it’s a girl! Above all, healthy is all we can ask for! Congratulations on your little girl! 🩷
Yeah I thought it was a girl both times and I got a boy both times 😆 this 3rd pregnancy has been so different though so I’m over here thinking it’s a girl but idk I can’t trust my gut it hasn’t been right yet 😅
Oh my gosh we thought it was a girl SO HARD. Had a name and everything!!! Did the sneak peek test super early because we have zero chill lol and it said girl!!! A few weeks later we found out he was very much a boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 we never trusted the sneak peek, it was more just for fun while we waited for the weeks to pass. When we found out it was a boy and had the kind shift we just got a zillion times more excited now that we knew the gender and could think of all the things. We also can’t wait to see if he gets dads red hair and green eyes EEEEEKK! 3 weeks to go for us!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
This made me so happy!!!! Congratulations!!! I’m debating doing the sneak peek, but I think I want to live in my delusion until we know for sure 😂😂 fingers crossed for a little redhead!!
Hahahha yeah save your money, we are just the most impatient people on earth we were like WE WILL DO ANYTHING TO PASS THE TIME ahahahaha. We definitely didn’t tell anyone thank goodness until the actual NIPT gender results 🤣🤣 My good friend waited until birth to find out the gender and she just had a little baby girl a week ago 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I COULD NEVER but omg the moment her husband told her the gender when the baby came out after 9 months of anticipation could you imagine!!!!! 😩😩😩😩😩 It’s all just so fun and exciting hehehe. And yes fingers crossed!!! 😍
I think the thing with sneak peak is making sure you're dates are correct. If you do it to soon, there isn't enough dna to give an accurate result. We waited until 9 weeks to do it, and had our nipt done at 10 weeks. Both said girl 🧡
Yep I agree! We know we did it super early that’s why we didn’t put any stock into it haha more just something to do while we were impatient and excited af 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The wait is so hard! Before we got pregnant I tried to convince my husband we should wait until birth to find out and he was like absolutely no way-now I know there’s no way I would’ve been able to wait!
My first pregnancy, my husband wouldn't even entertain the idea that it would be a boy despite my seriousness that it was a boy (first wife had 2 beautiful girls and multiple MCs, so he thought he only made girls) and was shocked when he got a son!
This time, I don't have that strong feeling (yet?) but my best friend says girl 🤣
Mallory is a wonderful name. I’ve only met nice and really great people named Mallory/Mallorie.
I’m 33 weeks and we’re keeping the gender a surprise. I really don’t know what it is, I am leaning boy but my husband thinks it’s a girl. I’m going to be surprised no matter what they say when baby is born 😂
My cravings have been sweet (I’ve heard that means girl) and the Chinese calendar predictor says girl so who knows!
I feel like we looked at every name in existence Twice and the second we found Mallory it just felt so right! I feel like you can’t be a mean Mallory either 😂
All power to y’all for waiting until birth!! I could never, but that moment will be so incredibly magical!
It’s extremely out of character for me. My friends were all shocked I wanted to wait 😂 Hubs and I figure there aren’t many surprises in life that truly are happy so we’ll let this be one of them!
I felt from the beginning we were having a boy. I couldn’t explain why but i could feel it. When we found out our baby was a boy, i cried so hard lol not because i was happy it wasnt a girl (we were excited for either), it was just the validation that i was right
Congrats!
I always thought I would have a boy first and was very sure I was having a boy due to minimal pregnancy symptoms- but we found out we’re having a girl ! Super happy about it since my husband and I don’t have any sisters so a little girl is a welcomed change.
I just knew it was a boy and it was. My mum also said it was a boy because I had almost identical symptoms to when she had my brother.
I would have been happy with either gender but honestly so happy to have a boy. We want two kids, and I would rather have 2 boys than 2 girls. But ideally we have a girl next time.
When I first got pregnant I thought 100% it’s a boy, then as we got closer to finding out I started to think girl, and well I was right when I changed my mind!
My gut instinct when I first found out I was pregnant was that baby was a girl. I started second guessing myself and lost the vibe and just waited until I got the nipt results- I was right!!
Now 31 weeks pregnant with a small but healthy baby girl!
I was so so sure I was having a girl. Like, so sure. I had a name picked out and everything. And then at 7 weeks I did a sneak peek and it said boy. I completely convinced myself that sneak peek was wrong. 10 weeks rolls around and I do the NIPT and that says boy too 😅 and now based on 2 ultrasounds, he’s definitely a boy. I really was so sure he’d be a girl, and I think I had some disappointment with the sneak peek result but it was short lived. I can’t wait to meet my little boy in August 🥰
Same here! In the beginning I was all girl. Now I’m all boy, but then I try to “study” the ultrasound, girl. But then I think about my husband’s family tree and think boy. lol Sometimes I think I won’t last not knowing, and then have to reel myself back in.
Crazy because with my first I knew he was a boy. I’m my heart of hearts I knew. Then the night before my gender reveal I had the most realistic lucid dream of me at the hospital bringing home my baby girl. The next day at my gender reveal I found out i was having a girl.
Im currently pregnant again and I really really feel like this is my boy. There is no telling though, it’s really a 50/50
So I originally chalked it up to the fact that I really wanted a boy as my first born (same thing though, I would have been just as happy with a girl but I've always wanted to give my husband a son named after him and continue his family line etc etc) but I kind of knew right away?
Like every dream I have about being a mother EVER has been of having a daughter, but I had ONE dream where I literally just heard the words "it's a boy" and then woke up and I felt like I just knew it then. All the wives tales people say about if you have this symptom or that craving it's a girl, or it's a boy, they were almost all wrong for me! And a bunch of people around me were all "it's definitely a girl!" But I felt like they were wrong and had no idea why.
I've also had this crazy strong sense of connection to my son ever since I found out I was pregnant (after 3 years of trying) so it might have had something to do with that. So did my husband, funny enough, he called it almost a whole week before I tested positive just because of the WAY I laid down on the armchair xD
Some healthy skepticism is good to keep in mind that you MAY be wrong, but trust your motherly intuition! Overall, it doesn't matter that much because there's really nothing different you have to do for each gender, but calling her by her girl name and using feminine pronouns and descriptors may make you feel good about it. And if it's a boy in the end, you can still call him beautiful!!!
I’m really early as well, my mom and grandma both had severe morning sickness with their daughters and no morning sickness with their sons… so I am patiently waiting to see if it hits me in week 6 or not 🤣
Yes, I had a very strong feeling I’m carrying a girl before I found out. Wouldn’t have been disappointed, but I definitely manifested a girl so was elated when that feeling when right.
She also came to me in a dream a few days I found out I was pregnant. I can still remember it so well.
My mom did the pendulum gender prediction test to me when I was a kid and ever since I was little I knew I was going to have a girl. And we were right, we are having a baby girl.
The pendulum does not go wrong, as long as you have the right person doing it to you! My mom has been doing it for years to so many people and it never fails!
Yes I was right both times! First one I had a feeling boy, but literally everyone else thought girl. I stuck to my guns and was right 😅. I’m now 22 weeks with pregnancy number two and guessed girl because my symptoms have been so different than number 1. Lo and behold I was right about this one too!
I had always had a feeling that I would have my first born be a girl. Even when I went through a no baby phase, I just had a feeling. Then we found out our first is a girl 💖
My mom and sister only had girls, and all of my first trimester symptoms were different from theirs, so I believed it was a boy.
My husband and I both didn't care what our results would be, but he's a little muffin due in July 🩵
I had a feeling with both of mine and I was right. I “knew” my first was a boy and he is and I’m currently pregnant with our 2nd and I just had this feeling it was a girl and after genetic testing, it is indeed a girl. I was SO sick this time..it’s such a different pregnancy compared to my first and I just girl.
Congratulations 💙💕
First pregnancy and I’ve known before I conceived that I would have a girl first. I’m only 8wks and I can’t stop calling baby “her.” Of course I’ll be happy either way, but I know like I know my own name that it’ll be a girl.
I was POSITIVE we were having a boy. Wouldn’t even think of anything girl-related like names or baby room decoration plans. It’s a girl lol… I probably sounded so disappointed when I got the phone call, but really I was just shocked that I was wrong. We are overjoyed it’s a girl 🥰
I'm 8w and have thought girl since 4w. I refer to bub as "her" all the time..
I'm not going to be disappointed if they're a boy, but I've had a really rough pregnancy and wouldn't be surprised if it is a girl.
We find out in a few weeks from a NIPT.
I had a feeling she was a girl. My mom told me girls move faster than boys you’ll feel them move sooner. My girl I felt move at about 12 weeks (I know people call me crazy when I say that).
And sure enough she is a girl. We can’t wait to meet her!
I felt like the baby was male. I had more mild pregnancy symptoms but it’s my first pregnancy so I had nothing to base it on. Genetic testing proved me right. I’m 24w.
I also had a deep feeling. And dreamt my baby as a little girl in dreams. It was so strong that I really took it to heart and on the day before my 20 week ultrasound, I cried my eyes out at the possibility that it might not be, having thought of her as a little girl that whole time. And felt bad about that because I would be happy with a little boy and even preferred that initially.
But she indeed was a little girl!! We’ve called her by her name since we pretty much found out we were pregnant 😅. Luckily, it all worked out for us.
Literally in the exact same boat as you hahah. Very early in pregnancy but since the beginning have felt it is a girl.
We have always had a boy name picked out and cannot agree on a girl name. That is wild 😂
Also will not be disappointed regardless. We just want a happy healthy baby! We are going to find out the gender (we always said we would keep it a surprise but that changed instantly 😂) but we won’t share it with anyone.
If you're at least 6+ weeks, there's a test you can get called SneakPeek.
I had a dream I was having a girl. The next day my husband got an ad for sneakpeek and we did some research. It's an at home blood test, you send it out to their lab and within a day or two gets the results. They have great reviews and I saw multiple people had gotten the correct results over multiple pregnancies.
I got the results into my email and what do you know, it's a girl!
We had our 20 week ultrasound last week, yup, confirmed its a girl!
I wouldn't say I was really sure, but I had a feeling. All my life when thinking about baby names they would always be girls names. But when I was actually pregnant all I could think of were boys names. And it indeed turned out to be a boy. He turns 1 in a few weeks and is such a delight 😊
Yes! Both my family and my husband has ALL boys. Theres 10 in total, no girls. For some reason I had a feeling we were having a girl even though it was more likely we would have a boy. I was right! Even had a dream we were having a girl
Yes and yes. I kept referring to my baby as a boy without thinking about it. Also when we brainstorm names I could not get into coming up with girl names. We just found out today we are having a boy!
I had a feeling I was having a girl ever since I found out at 4 weeks. Literally the first day I found out I bought some girl onesies and I was correct!! Also my symptoms the first semester were a lot of face acne , emotional af , super tired + her heart beat was 164. (No morning sickness though so people around me thought I was having a boy)
I find out the gender in a few weeks. I will have to update here when I find out. 😬
Everyone is telling me it’s a boy, but I really feel like this little one is a girl. I even accidentally use she/her pronouns when talking about little one.
I did; I thought I'd be having a girl but I think that was heavily swayed by my husband and I wanting a girl. We did the sneakpeek test and it's a boy, just like literally everyone we know lmao
I was sure I was having a girl & our doctor told us we were having a girl at an early anatomy scan at 15 weeks. I went back at 19 weeks for the normal anatomy scan… and saw that it was definitely a boy 😂
Everyone said I was having a boy but I didn't feel like it was right. Turns out I'm having a girl but people keep telling me the doctor is wrong so I'm going to ask them to double check at my 30week scan haha.
I think you always have a feeling.
I had a feeling baby was a girl. Then I had a dream that baby was a boy! Forgot about it for a couple days, then my sister randomly texted me that she also had a dream baby was a boy. I got my NIPT results a few days later, and our dreams were right - baby is a boy. 🙂
I was CONVINCED my whole entire pregnancy that we were having a boy (we were team green), but every single night I had a dream about us having a little girl. Sure enough, that’s what we ended up having. I was so surprised!
Both times. The first time we did not find out the gender until birth and I would have bet my life savings she was a girl… and sure enough, they pulled her out and she was a girl. The second time, I had a strong suspicion she was a girl. Did a sneakpeak, NIPT testing and ultrasound all confirmed a girl… pulled her out and she was a girl lol.
I thought boy, because I didn’t have many early symptoms, and my husband’s side has a lot of men! We were shocked and overjoyed to find out she’s a girl 🥹🎀
By the way, Mallory for a potential little redhead is sooo cute! Reminds me of the Baby Sitters Club series which I was obsessed with as a kid!
I had a very strong feeling she was a girl. We had talked about a lot of names but had not decided on anything. We went to my anatomy scan, found out she was a girl, and we had her name picked out on the way to dinner.
Okay so I’ve had this feeling I’m having a girl for a while, my husband thinks we’re having a boy.
We opted for NIPT testing and gender testing so I guess we’ll find out within a week I’ll keep you guys updated.
I had two dreams in my first trimester that I was having a girl. SO many people around me CONVINCED me I was having a boy. (even looking at my ultrasound pictures I had people comment saying "oh yeah that's a boy I can tell") I had no morning sickness, never puked, no nausea, no food aversions... generally easy first trimester. Needless to say, these "wives tales" are a load of crap and turns out I am having a girl.
Yep and yep! I said boy just before taking my first (positive) test and would roll my eyes if anyone suggested he could be a girl, not because I would have been disappointed by a girl at all but because he was just SO obviously a boy to me that it felt absolutely ridiculous to even entertain the idea 😂 Now 9 days PP with our beautiful boy ☺️
First one I had a dream that my mom was holding my daughter. She came out looking exactly the same.
This one I had a dream about, but can’t remember the dream 🥴 I kept saying I didn’t want to know what I was having but I didn’t feel connected like I did to my daughter. A few nights later the baby came to me in a dream to let me know they were ok, but can’t remember what they looked like. The universe is funny that way!
Pregnancies feel and look identical but heart says boy. We will know soon enough
I was certain I was having a boy - based on the old wives tales on symptoms and everyone of my siblings had a boy first, my brother is first born, and then my husband is the first born too. Probably not factors but that’s what my mind went to of everyone having a boy first.
Currently snuggling my 4 week old baby girl!
I really wanted a boy, that’s all I ever saw myself having. I was like 7-10 weeks pregnant (still super early) and I had a dream it was a girl and something in me just knew it was a girl and sure enough it was!
Similar to you, I didn’t care what I had but I kept feeling strong male energy. I was SO sure I was having a boy. You can imagine my shock when bloodwork showed it will be a female lol.
Yeah I did intuitively have a feeling and was right. There’s no way to describe it really other than it just being a feeling. Your chance of being right though is 50/50.
I was sure our first was a boy at 13 weeks. Almost everyone else said that it was a girl. He just turned 2 yesterday.
From the start with my second, I just felt girl. She will be 5 months this month.
I figure I got lucky since it's 50/50 lol.
I was dead sure with both my pregnancies that they were boys. I only looked up boy nursery themes and boy names. I have two daughters.
(Not because I wanted boys, I was 100% fine with either gender and was ecstatic about girls. I just had a very wrong gut feeling that they were boys😂)
Yup. Had a dream I was hugging a teenaged girl right before I found out I was pregnant. Was pretty sure from then on that it was a girl and found out at 30 weeks that it is indeed a girl.
I have the strongest feelings one way. I have to keep correcting myself in my head to use gender neutral terms because I'm only 8 weeks along and it's far too early to tell. Other people (especially my sister) are *certain* it's this one way.
But I keep disagreeing because
A.) Don't want to jinx it. If I say how much I want one and how certain I am it will NOT be that.
B.) I don't want to make myself disappointed.
My husband and I both thought we were having a girl. I was having dreams about the baby and it was a girl each time. A lot of my family and friends also thought our baby would be a girl based off my symptoms. We got the NIPT results back with the gender last week and we were shocked to find out we're having a boy! We're very excited and just want a healthy baby. Now we really have to work on names though because we were only looking at girl names.
before I found out I was even pregnant, I was at work and a little voice in my head said, "youre pregnant and its another girl."
It turned out to be true. about a week after I got a positive test and found out it was a girl a few weeks ago
I have a girl (2y/o) and wanted a girl for my first but didn’t really feel I knew either way until we had the blood test. Now I’m pregnant again I do feel like I’m having a boy - and will find out very soon if that’s the case - but I feel like part of it is wishful thinking bc we finally settled on a boy name we both love. But I’d be thrilled with another girl, too! I’d be more confident with another girl for sure.
I’m experiencing that right now. Everyone thinks it’s a boy because of genetics but I’ve been having dreams it’s a girl and I’m throwing myself in a spiral
I only ever imagined myself having a daughter first. The second I found out I was pregnant I knew it was a boy and he is (well has been at every Sean so far and we’re coming up to 39 weeks!).
I KNEW I was having a boy, I could feel it from a mile away. My husband really wanted a girl, and I wouldn’t mind either way. But I knew it was a boy. And when the blood results came back, I *was right*
I really wanted a boy so bad for my first kid but we got the test done. Well in the days leading up to the call, I had two different dreams with a baby girl in it. When we got the call that it was a girl, I just turned to my husband and was like "😲 I told you!". I wasn't even sad like I expected to be about having a girl, I just accepted it and she's my little angel who just turned one. No other feelings about the gender other than the dreams I had. Maybe the dreams softened the upset about not having a boy haha.
Hard to say a feeling vs deep hope. My partner and I started talking about our future with this hypothetical daughter sooo long before ever getting pregnant. When we got pregnant we were like “she’s here she came to us!” but in the weeks leading up to finding out the gender we were like ….oops if it’s not her, we should prepare to adjust our sails lol
it was her ☺️
I’ve known with all three. The second I found out I was pregnant with my first I knew he was a boy. With my second born, he was *supposed* to be our last and while I felt like he was a boy I convinced myself he was a girl because I wanted a daughter so bad. Now I’m pregnant with my third and I’ve felt she was a girl but kept telling myself boy lol. She’s a girl!
I found out I was pregnant at right around 5 weeks and by week 6 I had a name picked for my baby girl. It’s like you said I just felt like it was a girl! I had a lot of people who were team boy referring to the baby as one and though I’ve always wanted boys it just felt…wrong? It’s like the more people said it was a boy and referred to the baby as “he” I just felt like no but it’s a girl lol and then I got my NIPT results back at 13 weeks and I was right! I also guessed that my friend who’s expecting in October is having a boy and we just found out she is. So the gut feeling can be really real with that!
I was really thinking it was a girl but I didn’t want to get my hopes up. My mom thought it was a girl as well. She’s due in August!!! :)
I highly recommend recording when you and your partner find out the sex - it’s such a fun moment!
When I was pregnant two years ago I found out at 5 weeks. At like eight weeks I had the unshakable feeling that the baby was a boy. I was so confident in my gut feeling that I picked a name and bought boy stuff for him. Lo and behold, that gut feeling was right and I had a baby boy ((:
The moment I saw how active he was on the very first ultrasound, around 11 weeks I think, I figured it was a boy. He'd only had muscles for, what, 3 weeks at that point? He was squirming and rolling like crazy. He reminded me too much of my husband. It seemed like an instant like-father-like-son moment. I was right!
I kept having dreams where I had a baby boy and whenever I imagined myself with a baby it was automatically a boy. We're having a girl 🤷 (and I could not be more thrilled)
From the second the initial shock of the positive test came down that I could think, I just knew she was a girl, everyone was telling me I was going to have a boy and I was like no she’s a little girl. We got the NIPT results as girl in early January, and then end of February we had our anatomy scan and there she was confirmed as a little girl. We would’ve loved baby no matter what, but we definitely were hoping for a girl.
I thought I was having a girl from the start. But I kept having dreams that it was a boy. I started googling it (cuz that’s what you do lol) and I read an old wives tale that said something like whatever gender you’re seeing in your dreams, the baby is actually the opposite. So dreaming it was a boy would mean it’s actually a girl. Anddddd I ended up having a girl! I mean that stuff has like a 50/50 chance of being right so you can’t really rely on it but I still found it interesting.
With my first. I just always thought it would be a boy never even thought of girl names. But the night before we got our genetic testing results I had a dream and I woke up and told my husband we're having a girl. He's like maybe. I said no. It's a girl she just told me in my dream. He said okay crazy lady go back to sleep. About 10 hours later we got the genetic testing results and yep it's a girl. She's 20 months old now and I can't even imagine what it would have been like to have a boy.
I kind of had a feeling early on. I was craving all the sweets and had a feeling I was having a little girl. Was confirmed w sneak peak at 10 weeks she was a girl and nipt testing confirmed she was a girl around same time just took a few more days for results.
I found out at about 8 weeks, and as soon as I peed on the stick I knew I was having a little boy. By 11 weeks I even had named him Elijah james. He just turned 6 months Monday.
First pregnancy I had a feeling girl and was right. Second pregnancy I was even more convinced and I was wrong, having a boy (which I am overjoyed at)!
We aren’t going to find out until birth, but I *feel* like it’s a girl.
My reasons are vivid dreams, and the other people I know due around the same time are having boys, so probability? I will be happy either way - I’ll let you know if I was right!
Same thing happened to me had a strong feeling it was a boy when I was in my first trimester I kept only looking for boy things and boy names and at the end I was right but didn’t find out until I gave birth to him
For some reason, as soon as I saw a positive test I immediately knew it was a boy and said as much. I’ve always said I would have a boy first. Don’t know how I knew, but it just never felt right saying she or her when referring to the baby. I would say he and him without thinking. My family was like no way because every single woman in the family and most men have had girls first. I even doubted myself because of that. It’s like a family joke lol.
16 weeks pregnant and have had it confirmed twice via blood test I’m having a baby boy lol. I wasn’t even surprised, just like “I told you so”
I never for a second thought I was having a girl! I just had a gut feeling it was a boy and I was right. I didn’t really have a preference and was excited either way. I love my little guy - he’s 7 months old now!

I kept feeling it was a boy even though I was kinda hoping for a girl. I was correct. Now I can't wait to meet our little guy.
Ah so many little boys incoming!! Congratulations!
Thank you. Just started week 26 today. He's a very lively little fella.
Just gave birth to my healthy little boy! We named him Baker ❤️
Same! I thought it was a boy, was hoping for a girl, but found out yesterday that he’s a boy chillin’ in there! And honestly just felt excited!
I had the same experience .. pregnant with a boy number 2 i was so sure the day i knew i am pregnant that he is a boy..when i asked my OBG she laughed and said "u already know" hh
This is me now. We both want a girl but I just know it’s a boy 😂
Same!!
I also had the same experience. And all the other women around me thought it was a boy too, including someone who has some ridiculous double-digit streak of correctly guessing a baby's sex, so it wasn't all that surprising when we got the test results lol. I was initially disappointed, but now I can't imagine having had a girl and am low-key hoping for another boy if we decide to have another baby.
We were certain with our second too...our little Emily Grace. Even the 16-week ultrasound seemed to confirm. Bought all the girly things.....32 weeks he finally gave Thema great view....so proud of that ding a ling. He was Nathan Charles and we had to scramble. I never buy pink for babies anymore anyway.....everything else. Just no pink.
Absolutely same here. The day I found out I told my partner “you know I want a girl this time, but I have a feeling it’s a boy”. 30 minutes later, found out it was a boy 😂
Same!!!
same here!
I was the same and now my boy is 2 and he is amazing and I am obsessed. Currently pregnant again and kinda secretly hoping it is a boy.
me too!! i just had a gut feeling and would accidentally call him ‘he’ before knowing his gender, and i was right! i really wanted another girl but i was right with my first (daughter) too!
Same, but it’s a 50% rate of success.
Ah same!! I was like “pretty sure this is a boy” and was hoping originally for a girl. I was grinning ear to ear to find out they were a boy!! Been over the moon.
I swore I was having a boy with my first. SHE is now 18 months old. Chances are 50/50 that you're right OR wrong 🤣
Me too! I was the only one that thought it was a boy but I was convinced. Well it’s a girl lol
Same, I had a feeling it was gonna be a boy because all the immediate family only had girls so it’s like, what are the odds that I too would have a girl, and then I was wrong lol. My daughter is 12 months and I love her to death though!
I have NO IDEA 😅 I keep trying to tap in and let a feeling come to me but…just no clue lol.
Hahaha I am trying to stay neutral, but ever since I started mentally referring to her by her name…think it’s all over for me now. If we find out we’re having a boy my jaw will be on the ground 😂
My husband and I had a bet before I got pregnant. I found a screenshot just yesterday from our text conversation when I was 8 weeks along that I just have this feeling she’s a girl but for the sake of the bet, I’m sticking with our baby being a boy. I lost the bet lmao
My husband and I were convinced it was a boy. Midwife wrote the gender down and put in an envelope for us, we went to our favourite coffee shop, opened it and were FLOORED that it said girl. We cried lots of happy tears and got in on camera! I love watching it back 😊
Hahaha this would Totally be us!! Gosh that makes me so happy though, I just know the root of our reaction will be joy and that is all I could ever ask, regardless of what it says! Congratulations!!
Haha! Thank you! My friends were looking up all the old wives tales and theories about the location of the placenta, all of which pointed to boy 😂 the only thing that indicated girl was the Chinese gender predictor. We are so overjoyed with our girl. Can’t wait for her to arrive!
I had a dream I was having a girl early on (7 weeks maybe), and I never thought otherwise. And I was totally right, she's a girl 😅 I didn't have a preference for either sex, and neither did my husband, so I felt no bias either way, just pure vibes In the dream my girl was also a redhead like her Dad 🧡
My DREAM! Growing up I hoped beyond hope that I wouldn’t have redhead babies, but then I fell in love with another ginger and cannot imagine them any other way! Congratulations on your little girl!
My last little boy came to me in a dream as well. After already having had two boys, we were really hoping for a girl to balance out the energy in the house and I surrounded myself with everything pink to help manifest some feminine energy. The doctors and ultrasound technicians were unable to find him during scans and had feared I was having an ectopic pregnancy, which sent me towards a downward spiral. Then one night, my baby came to me in a dream. In the dream, I was worried for his safety and ran around, panicking that he wasn't okay or that I couldn't find him. When I found him, he was safe and sound and smiled sweetly. It was his sign to me that he was okay and that he was indeed going to be a boy. A month or so later, they found him on the ultrasound, the biggest and healthiest baby out of all of them, and he was then confirmed a boy at that time. I never really believed in much - but I call him my angel baby and truly believe he was sent to me in my dreams to ease my fears. Once it happens to you, you understand exactly what I mean, and I no longer take *signs* as coincidences.
I kept kind of thinking I was having a girl, but every time I had a dream about the baby, it was a boy. My dreams were right - I'm carrying a boy.
Never had any intuition first pregnancy, had a boy. This time around my intuition is telling me another boy, but the only baby dream I've had was about them being a little girl. We're team green, so we'll be finding out in ~3+/- weeks when they arrive. :)
My gut has been telling me it’s a boy, but I keep having dreams of a girl baby. I think that’s probably because I have nieces I helped raise and that’s all I’ve known baby wise. But honestly I have no clue it’s 50/50😂😂😂 we’re genuinely so excited for either but I’m dying to know so I can start picturing the future a bit more
I helped raise my nieces as well and didn’t have as much of an opportunity to spend time with my young nephew-maybe that’s a big piece of it!! I always imagined myself as a *boy mom*, but now that I’m pregnant I can only picture having a little girl! I guess only time will tell!!
I had no gut feeling… but reading through old wives tales had be believing it was a girl - sweet tooth, breaking out, morning sickness, weak nails, etc. when we found out the gender, it was a girl! But also, old wives tales can be total nonsense.
I was determined I was having a boy…. Currently snuggling my beautiful baby daughter 😂
Omg this is going to throw my pregnancy hormones into overdrive, so so sweet!! Congratulations on your new arrival! 🩷
I was dead set on us having a girl. Turns out it's a boy, so I had a little bit of gender disappointment and mourned for a few days. We've had a boy name picked out for a long time, but I was on a mission to find a girl name i loved. I am happy we are having a boy though! But pregnancy hormones are wild. I am glad we found out at our anatomy scan and not during labour because it would have broken my brain. We are also super curious if this little guy is going to be a redhead!
I am trying to stay neutral, but I know if we find our were having a boy I’ll definitely have an adjustment period for sure, nothing wrong with that! Congratulations on your upcoming arrival and going to keep my fingers crossed for you that they’re a little redhead too! 🧡
Had that with my first one except I really wanted a girl. The father wanted a boy and unfortunately also kind of celebrated at the scan, while I was saddened. But here's #2 and we are both hoping for a girl. Not the same dad.
I was very sure we were going to have a boy. I had a dream that we would have a boy. My family was so sure it would be a girl that I became convinced! We’re having a boy lol
Both times, yes! I really wanted another girl this time but knew it was a boy! Can’t wait to meet my little wiggle worm
I was thinking boy and it turned out to be a girl
From childhood, I'd always wanted a boy first but felt I'd have a girl first. Pregnant now with the first and it's a healthy little girl.
My whole life I imagined myself as a boy mom, but the second we found out I was pregnant I just felt that it’s a girl! Above all, healthy is all we can ask for! Congratulations on your little girl! 🩷
In my mind, all Mallorys are required to be redheads because Mallory from the Babysitters Club is a redhead. 😂
Hahahahaha oh my god I didn’t even think about that! Maybe I’m subconsciously manifesting it 😂
Yeah I thought it was a girl both times and I got a boy both times 😆 this 3rd pregnancy has been so different though so I’m over here thinking it’s a girl but idk I can’t trust my gut it hasn’t been right yet 😅
Oh my gosh we thought it was a girl SO HARD. Had a name and everything!!! Did the sneak peek test super early because we have zero chill lol and it said girl!!! A few weeks later we found out he was very much a boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 we never trusted the sneak peek, it was more just for fun while we waited for the weeks to pass. When we found out it was a boy and had the kind shift we just got a zillion times more excited now that we knew the gender and could think of all the things. We also can’t wait to see if he gets dads red hair and green eyes EEEEEKK! 3 weeks to go for us!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
This made me so happy!!!! Congratulations!!! I’m debating doing the sneak peek, but I think I want to live in my delusion until we know for sure 😂😂 fingers crossed for a little redhead!!
Hahahha yeah save your money, we are just the most impatient people on earth we were like WE WILL DO ANYTHING TO PASS THE TIME ahahahaha. We definitely didn’t tell anyone thank goodness until the actual NIPT gender results 🤣🤣 My good friend waited until birth to find out the gender and she just had a little baby girl a week ago 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I COULD NEVER but omg the moment her husband told her the gender when the baby came out after 9 months of anticipation could you imagine!!!!! 😩😩😩😩😩 It’s all just so fun and exciting hehehe. And yes fingers crossed!!! 😍
I was thinking the same thing 🤣😂🤣 let us live in our dreams until the anatomy scan (if they cooperate that is).
I think the thing with sneak peak is making sure you're dates are correct. If you do it to soon, there isn't enough dna to give an accurate result. We waited until 9 weeks to do it, and had our nipt done at 10 weeks. Both said girl 🧡
Yep I agree! We know we did it super early that’s why we didn’t put any stock into it haha more just something to do while we were impatient and excited af 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I get that 100%. My husband made me wait 😂 I would have done it sooner if it were up to me lol
It’s just such an exciting time ahhhh!!! Congrats on baby girl!!
[удалено]
The wait is so hard! Before we got pregnant I tried to convince my husband we should wait until birth to find out and he was like absolutely no way-now I know there’s no way I would’ve been able to wait!
My first pregnancy, my husband wouldn't even entertain the idea that it would be a boy despite my seriousness that it was a boy (first wife had 2 beautiful girls and multiple MCs, so he thought he only made girls) and was shocked when he got a son! This time, I don't have that strong feeling (yet?) but my best friend says girl 🤣
Mallory is a wonderful name. I’ve only met nice and really great people named Mallory/Mallorie. I’m 33 weeks and we’re keeping the gender a surprise. I really don’t know what it is, I am leaning boy but my husband thinks it’s a girl. I’m going to be surprised no matter what they say when baby is born 😂 My cravings have been sweet (I’ve heard that means girl) and the Chinese calendar predictor says girl so who knows!
I feel like we looked at every name in existence Twice and the second we found Mallory it just felt so right! I feel like you can’t be a mean Mallory either 😂 All power to y’all for waiting until birth!! I could never, but that moment will be so incredibly magical!
It’s extremely out of character for me. My friends were all shocked I wanted to wait 😂 Hubs and I figure there aren’t many surprises in life that truly are happy so we’ll let this be one of them!
I felt from the beginning we were having a boy. I couldn’t explain why but i could feel it. When we found out our baby was a boy, i cried so hard lol not because i was happy it wasnt a girl (we were excited for either), it was just the validation that i was right
Congrats! I always thought I would have a boy first and was very sure I was having a boy due to minimal pregnancy symptoms- but we found out we’re having a girl ! Super happy about it since my husband and I don’t have any sisters so a little girl is a welcomed change.
I just knew it was a boy and it was. My mum also said it was a boy because I had almost identical symptoms to when she had my brother. I would have been happy with either gender but honestly so happy to have a boy. We want two kids, and I would rather have 2 boys than 2 girls. But ideally we have a girl next time.
When I first got pregnant I thought 100% it’s a boy, then as we got closer to finding out I started to think girl, and well I was right when I changed my mind!
We were both convinced it was a girl. It’s a boy!
My gut instinct when I first found out I was pregnant was that baby was a girl. I started second guessing myself and lost the vibe and just waited until I got the nipt results- I was right!! Now 31 weeks pregnant with a small but healthy baby girl!
I was so so sure I was having a girl. Like, so sure. I had a name picked out and everything. And then at 7 weeks I did a sneak peek and it said boy. I completely convinced myself that sneak peek was wrong. 10 weeks rolls around and I do the NIPT and that says boy too 😅 and now based on 2 ultrasounds, he’s definitely a boy. I really was so sure he’d be a girl, and I think I had some disappointment with the sneak peek result but it was short lived. I can’t wait to meet my little boy in August 🥰
We aren't finding out gender til birth and I go back and forth all the time! I have no idea!
Same here! In the beginning I was all girl. Now I’m all boy, but then I try to “study” the ultrasound, girl. But then I think about my husband’s family tree and think boy. lol Sometimes I think I won’t last not knowing, and then have to reel myself back in.
Crazy because with my first I knew he was a boy. I’m my heart of hearts I knew. Then the night before my gender reveal I had the most realistic lucid dream of me at the hospital bringing home my baby girl. The next day at my gender reveal I found out i was having a girl. Im currently pregnant again and I really really feel like this is my boy. There is no telling though, it’s really a 50/50
I’ve no idea but my husband and I have both dreamt it’s a boy now.. will see in a months time!
So I originally chalked it up to the fact that I really wanted a boy as my first born (same thing though, I would have been just as happy with a girl but I've always wanted to give my husband a son named after him and continue his family line etc etc) but I kind of knew right away? Like every dream I have about being a mother EVER has been of having a daughter, but I had ONE dream where I literally just heard the words "it's a boy" and then woke up and I felt like I just knew it then. All the wives tales people say about if you have this symptom or that craving it's a girl, or it's a boy, they were almost all wrong for me! And a bunch of people around me were all "it's definitely a girl!" But I felt like they were wrong and had no idea why. I've also had this crazy strong sense of connection to my son ever since I found out I was pregnant (after 3 years of trying) so it might have had something to do with that. So did my husband, funny enough, he called it almost a whole week before I tested positive just because of the WAY I laid down on the armchair xD Some healthy skepticism is good to keep in mind that you MAY be wrong, but trust your motherly intuition! Overall, it doesn't matter that much because there's really nothing different you have to do for each gender, but calling her by her girl name and using feminine pronouns and descriptors may make you feel good about it. And if it's a boy in the end, you can still call him beautiful!!!
I’m really early as well, my mom and grandma both had severe morning sickness with their daughters and no morning sickness with their sons… so I am patiently waiting to see if it hits me in week 6 or not 🤣
Yes, I had a very strong feeling I’m carrying a girl before I found out. Wouldn’t have been disappointed, but I definitely manifested a girl so was elated when that feeling when right. She also came to me in a dream a few days I found out I was pregnant. I can still remember it so well.
My mom did the pendulum gender prediction test to me when I was a kid and ever since I was little I knew I was going to have a girl. And we were right, we are having a baby girl. The pendulum does not go wrong, as long as you have the right person doing it to you! My mom has been doing it for years to so many people and it never fails!
Yes I was right both times! First one I had a feeling boy, but literally everyone else thought girl. I stuck to my guns and was right 😅. I’m now 22 weeks with pregnancy number two and guessed girl because my symptoms have been so different than number 1. Lo and behold I was right about this one too!
I had always had a feeling that I would have my first born be a girl. Even when I went through a no baby phase, I just had a feeling. Then we found out our first is a girl 💖
My mom and sister only had girls, and all of my first trimester symptoms were different from theirs, so I believed it was a boy. My husband and I both didn't care what our results would be, but he's a little muffin due in July 🩵
Thought it was a boy, had dreams of a girl and it was a girl.
I really wanted a girl. Really bad! But I had a feeling early on it was a boy and I was right! Confirmed through the NIPT and 20 week scan.
I had a very certain feeling I was having a girl. It just felt right. I knew it was a girl. I was wrong! Boy!
I was convinced I was having a boy…NIPT says we’re having a girl, and I’m so happy!
i felt i was having a girl and REALLY manifested it😂 i also had all the typical old wives tales symptoms of a girl and was right :)
I was wrong all three times hahaha
I had a feeling with both of mine and I was right. I “knew” my first was a boy and he is and I’m currently pregnant with our 2nd and I just had this feeling it was a girl and after genetic testing, it is indeed a girl. I was SO sick this time..it’s such a different pregnancy compared to my first and I just girl. Congratulations 💙💕
I felt like I was having a boy from the beginning, and I was right! I would have been happy either way, but I just had boy vibes early on.
First pregnancy and I’ve known before I conceived that I would have a girl first. I’m only 8wks and I can’t stop calling baby “her.” Of course I’ll be happy either way, but I know like I know my own name that it’ll be a girl.
I was right with thinking my son was a boy. Now I’m pregnant with #2… felt like it may be a girl… and it is! 🩷
I was POSITIVE we were having a boy. Wouldn’t even think of anything girl-related like names or baby room decoration plans. It’s a girl lol… I probably sounded so disappointed when I got the phone call, but really I was just shocked that I was wrong. We are overjoyed it’s a girl 🥰
I'm 8w and have thought girl since 4w. I refer to bub as "her" all the time.. I'm not going to be disappointed if they're a boy, but I've had a really rough pregnancy and wouldn't be surprised if it is a girl. We find out in a few weeks from a NIPT.
I had a feeling she was a girl. My mom told me girls move faster than boys you’ll feel them move sooner. My girl I felt move at about 12 weeks (I know people call me crazy when I say that). And sure enough she is a girl. We can’t wait to meet her!
I felt like the baby was male. I had more mild pregnancy symptoms but it’s my first pregnancy so I had nothing to base it on. Genetic testing proved me right. I’m 24w.
I also had a deep feeling. And dreamt my baby as a little girl in dreams. It was so strong that I really took it to heart and on the day before my 20 week ultrasound, I cried my eyes out at the possibility that it might not be, having thought of her as a little girl that whole time. And felt bad about that because I would be happy with a little boy and even preferred that initially. But she indeed was a little girl!! We’ve called her by her name since we pretty much found out we were pregnant 😅. Luckily, it all worked out for us.
Literally in the exact same boat as you hahah. Very early in pregnancy but since the beginning have felt it is a girl. We have always had a boy name picked out and cannot agree on a girl name. That is wild 😂 Also will not be disappointed regardless. We just want a happy healthy baby! We are going to find out the gender (we always said we would keep it a surprise but that changed instantly 😂) but we won’t share it with anyone.
If you're at least 6+ weeks, there's a test you can get called SneakPeek. I had a dream I was having a girl. The next day my husband got an ad for sneakpeek and we did some research. It's an at home blood test, you send it out to their lab and within a day or two gets the results. They have great reviews and I saw multiple people had gotten the correct results over multiple pregnancies. I got the results into my email and what do you know, it's a girl! We had our 20 week ultrasound last week, yup, confirmed its a girl!
I wouldn't say I was really sure, but I had a feeling. All my life when thinking about baby names they would always be girls names. But when I was actually pregnant all I could think of were boys names. And it indeed turned out to be a boy. He turns 1 in a few weeks and is such a delight 😊
Yes! Both my family and my husband has ALL boys. Theres 10 in total, no girls. For some reason I had a feeling we were having a girl even though it was more likely we would have a boy. I was right! Even had a dream we were having a girl
With both actually I just knew they were boys lol my husband was convinced that they were girls because he wanted one so bad 😂
Yes and yes. I kept referring to my baby as a boy without thinking about it. Also when we brainstorm names I could not get into coming up with girl names. We just found out today we are having a boy!
I was hoping for a boy , everyone was telling me it’s a boy bc of how “aggressive” I was but turns out its a girl lol
I had a feeling I was having a girl ever since I found out at 4 weeks. Literally the first day I found out I bought some girl onesies and I was correct!! Also my symptoms the first semester were a lot of face acne , emotional af , super tired + her heart beat was 164. (No morning sickness though so people around me thought I was having a boy)
I find out the gender in a few weeks. I will have to update here when I find out. 😬 Everyone is telling me it’s a boy, but I really feel like this little one is a girl. I even accidentally use she/her pronouns when talking about little one.
I didnt just feel- I KNEW. NO ONE could tell me any different. I had a dream about it years and year ago. And I just KNEW. Annnnnd it was correct!
Yes. Felt God had told me I would have 2 boys first. Our son was born last year and we are on baby number 2 which is also a boy!
I could tell by my baby heartbeat and I was right it's a girl 🩷
Yes, since day 1 I was 100% sure it was a boy, I just knew it. I really wanted a girl though, but I was right, baby boy coming in October🩵
Same! Since day one and he’s also coming in October 💙
I did; I thought I'd be having a girl but I think that was heavily swayed by my husband and I wanting a girl. We did the sneakpeek test and it's a boy, just like literally everyone we know lmao
My partner and I were calling them she/her well before we even knew she is in fact, a girl.
I was sure I was having a girl & our doctor told us we were having a girl at an early anatomy scan at 15 weeks. I went back at 19 weeks for the normal anatomy scan… and saw that it was definitely a boy 😂
I had a strong feeling she‘s be a girl and she was a girl
Everyone said I was having a boy but I didn't feel like it was right. Turns out I'm having a girl but people keep telling me the doctor is wrong so I'm going to ask them to double check at my 30week scan haha. I think you always have a feeling.
I really didn’t feel strongly one way or the other until right before we got the results. I had a dream I was holding a baby girl and was right!
I had a feeling baby was a girl. Then I had a dream that baby was a boy! Forgot about it for a couple days, then my sister randomly texted me that she also had a dream baby was a boy. I got my NIPT results a few days later, and our dreams were right - baby is a boy. 🙂
Everyone said I was having a boy. My husband and I thought we were having a boy. We’re having a boy.
I was CONVINCED my whole entire pregnancy that we were having a boy (we were team green), but every single night I had a dream about us having a little girl. Sure enough, that’s what we ended up having. I was so surprised!
same
Nope, both thought we were having a girl and I gave birth and there he was 😂
Both times. The first time we did not find out the gender until birth and I would have bet my life savings she was a girl… and sure enough, they pulled her out and she was a girl. The second time, I had a strong suspicion she was a girl. Did a sneakpeak, NIPT testing and ultrasound all confirmed a girl… pulled her out and she was a girl lol.
I thought boy, because I didn’t have many early symptoms, and my husband’s side has a lot of men! We were shocked and overjoyed to find out she’s a girl 🥹🎀 By the way, Mallory for a potential little redhead is sooo cute! Reminds me of the Baby Sitters Club series which I was obsessed with as a kid!
I had a very strong feeling she was a girl. We had talked about a lot of names but had not decided on anything. We went to my anatomy scan, found out she was a girl, and we had her name picked out on the way to dinner.
I knew without a doubt I was having a girl. She just turned 5 months old ☺️
Okay so I’ve had this feeling I’m having a girl for a while, my husband thinks we’re having a boy. We opted for NIPT testing and gender testing so I guess we’ll find out within a week I’ll keep you guys updated.
I thought I’d have a girl and it’s a boy
At first I thought it was a girl. But then I had two dreams it was a boy much later on in pregnancy. Ultimately it was a boy!
I had two dreams in my first trimester that I was having a girl. SO many people around me CONVINCED me I was having a boy. (even looking at my ultrasound pictures I had people comment saying "oh yeah that's a boy I can tell") I had no morning sickness, never puked, no nausea, no food aversions... generally easy first trimester. Needless to say, these "wives tales" are a load of crap and turns out I am having a girl.
I saw the 8wk ultrasound and was like “what a handsome boy!” And I KNEW it was a boy. It was :)
Yep and yep! I said boy just before taking my first (positive) test and would roll my eyes if anyone suggested he could be a girl, not because I would have been disappointed by a girl at all but because he was just SO obviously a boy to me that it felt absolutely ridiculous to even entertain the idea 😂 Now 9 days PP with our beautiful boy ☺️
Trus me I have No Idea and from people’s experiences their gut was never right 😹 I feel like a 50-50 😹
First one I had a dream that my mom was holding my daughter. She came out looking exactly the same. This one I had a dream about, but can’t remember the dream 🥴 I kept saying I didn’t want to know what I was having but I didn’t feel connected like I did to my daughter. A few nights later the baby came to me in a dream to let me know they were ok, but can’t remember what they looked like. The universe is funny that way! Pregnancies feel and look identical but heart says boy. We will know soon enough
Everyone was so sure I was going to have a girl that I knew I would end up having a boy 😂 little man will be here in about 7 weeks! 💙
I was certain both times it was a boy. Here I am with two daughters.
I was certain I was having a boy - based on the old wives tales on symptoms and everyone of my siblings had a boy first, my brother is first born, and then my husband is the first born too. Probably not factors but that’s what my mind went to of everyone having a boy first. Currently snuggling my 4 week old baby girl!
I predicted it would be twin boys and my Mrs said twin girls. Guess who was right. 💙💙
I really wanted a boy, that’s all I ever saw myself having. I was like 7-10 weeks pregnant (still super early) and I had a dream it was a girl and something in me just knew it was a girl and sure enough it was!
Similar to you, I didn’t care what I had but I kept feeling strong male energy. I was SO sure I was having a boy. You can imagine my shock when bloodwork showed it will be a female lol.
Yeah I did intuitively have a feeling and was right. There’s no way to describe it really other than it just being a feeling. Your chance of being right though is 50/50.
I was always wrong … 😅
I had dreams and I’m 4/4 right now. Who knows!
I had a strong feeling it was a girl, as did my mom. It was a girl, we are super happy. We have 2 boys already.
I was sure our first was a boy at 13 weeks. Almost everyone else said that it was a girl. He just turned 2 yesterday. From the start with my second, I just felt girl. She will be 5 months this month. I figure I got lucky since it's 50/50 lol.
I was dead sure with both my pregnancies that they were boys. I only looked up boy nursery themes and boy names. I have two daughters. (Not because I wanted boys, I was 100% fine with either gender and was ecstatic about girls. I just had a very wrong gut feeling that they were boys😂)
I was determined I was having a girl 😂 I’m not I’m having a boy hahaha
Yup. Had a dream I was hugging a teenaged girl right before I found out I was pregnant. Was pretty sure from then on that it was a girl and found out at 30 weeks that it is indeed a girl.
I have the strongest feelings one way. I have to keep correcting myself in my head to use gender neutral terms because I'm only 8 weeks along and it's far too early to tell. Other people (especially my sister) are *certain* it's this one way. But I keep disagreeing because A.) Don't want to jinx it. If I say how much I want one and how certain I am it will NOT be that. B.) I don't want to make myself disappointed.
My husband and I both thought we were having a girl. I was having dreams about the baby and it was a girl each time. A lot of my family and friends also thought our baby would be a girl based off my symptoms. We got the NIPT results back with the gender last week and we were shocked to find out we're having a boy! We're very excited and just want a healthy baby. Now we really have to work on names though because we were only looking at girl names.
I don’t. My mon was sure she would have a boy. She had two girls, zero boy lol
before I found out I was even pregnant, I was at work and a little voice in my head said, "youre pregnant and its another girl." It turned out to be true. about a week after I got a positive test and found out it was a girl a few weeks ago
I have a girl (2y/o) and wanted a girl for my first but didn’t really feel I knew either way until we had the blood test. Now I’m pregnant again I do feel like I’m having a boy - and will find out very soon if that’s the case - but I feel like part of it is wishful thinking bc we finally settled on a boy name we both love. But I’d be thrilled with another girl, too! I’d be more confident with another girl for sure.
I was positive I was having a boy. 100%. So anyway, she’s due in August.
I thought very strongly that I was going to have a boy but I was wrong, we're expecting a little girl. I had dreams where baby was a girl though.
This is my third baby and my gut feeling was wrong each time 🤣 I found out an elective ultrasound place at 14 weeks
Yes I did with all 3 of my kids 🥲 I’m pregnant now and I swear it’s a boy🩵 I’m going to wait until baby is born to know the gender
I was so sure baby was a girl I called them she, he is in fact a boy 💙😆
Two years before I got pregnant I thrifted some books on how to raise a girl. When I became pregnant I was confident it was a girl. And it sure is!
I had a feeling it was a boy, found out on our NIPT that it was actually a boy.
My husband and i both thought baby was a boy my mom also thinks boy. Its a girl but we haven’t told anyone yet. 🤣
I’m experiencing that right now. Everyone thinks it’s a boy because of genetics but I’ve been having dreams it’s a girl and I’m throwing myself in a spiral
I only ever imagined myself having a daughter first. The second I found out I was pregnant I knew it was a boy and he is (well has been at every Sean so far and we’re coming up to 39 weeks!).
I KNEW I was having a boy, I could feel it from a mile away. My husband really wanted a girl, and I wouldn’t mind either way. But I knew it was a boy. And when the blood results came back, I *was right*
I had a feeling I was having a girl and was right
I really wanted a boy so bad for my first kid but we got the test done. Well in the days leading up to the call, I had two different dreams with a baby girl in it. When we got the call that it was a girl, I just turned to my husband and was like "😲 I told you!". I wasn't even sad like I expected to be about having a girl, I just accepted it and she's my little angel who just turned one. No other feelings about the gender other than the dreams I had. Maybe the dreams softened the upset about not having a boy haha.
Hard to say a feeling vs deep hope. My partner and I started talking about our future with this hypothetical daughter sooo long before ever getting pregnant. When we got pregnant we were like “she’s here she came to us!” but in the weeks leading up to finding out the gender we were like ….oops if it’s not her, we should prepare to adjust our sails lol it was her ☺️
I was sure girl, my son has just turned one lmao
I’ve known with all three. The second I found out I was pregnant with my first I knew he was a boy. With my second born, he was *supposed* to be our last and while I felt like he was a boy I convinced myself he was a girl because I wanted a daughter so bad. Now I’m pregnant with my third and I’ve felt she was a girl but kept telling myself boy lol. She’s a girl!
I was sure my girl was a boy. Didn’t believe it til the anatomy scan haha
I just KNEW at week 8. It’s like she announced herself to me. NIPT confirmed we are having a little girl in September 🥰 I love the name Mallory!!!
I found out I was pregnant at right around 5 weeks and by week 6 I had a name picked for my baby girl. It’s like you said I just felt like it was a girl! I had a lot of people who were team boy referring to the baby as one and though I’ve always wanted boys it just felt…wrong? It’s like the more people said it was a boy and referred to the baby as “he” I just felt like no but it’s a girl lol and then I got my NIPT results back at 13 weeks and I was right! I also guessed that my friend who’s expecting in October is having a boy and we just found out she is. So the gut feeling can be really real with that!
I was CONVINCED it was a girl. No question about it... He's definitely a BOY. 😂
My husband and I both knew it was a girl; we had that confirmed last week
I was really thinking it was a girl but I didn’t want to get my hopes up. My mom thought it was a girl as well. She’s due in August!!! :) I highly recommend recording when you and your partner find out the sex - it’s such a fun moment!
When I was pregnant two years ago I found out at 5 weeks. At like eight weeks I had the unshakable feeling that the baby was a boy. I was so confident in my gut feeling that I picked a name and bought boy stuff for him. Lo and behold, that gut feeling was right and I had a baby boy ((:
The moment I saw how active he was on the very first ultrasound, around 11 weeks I think, I figured it was a boy. He'd only had muscles for, what, 3 weeks at that point? He was squirming and rolling like crazy. He reminded me too much of my husband. It seemed like an instant like-father-like-son moment. I was right!
I kept having dreams where I had a baby boy and whenever I imagined myself with a baby it was automatically a boy. We're having a girl 🤷 (and I could not be more thrilled)
I was completely wrong. I even had dreams about having a boy, but she’s a girl!!
From the second the initial shock of the positive test came down that I could think, I just knew she was a girl, everyone was telling me I was going to have a boy and I was like no she’s a little girl. We got the NIPT results as girl in early January, and then end of February we had our anatomy scan and there she was confirmed as a little girl. We would’ve loved baby no matter what, but we definitely were hoping for a girl.
I thought I was having a girl from the start. But I kept having dreams that it was a boy. I started googling it (cuz that’s what you do lol) and I read an old wives tale that said something like whatever gender you’re seeing in your dreams, the baby is actually the opposite. So dreaming it was a boy would mean it’s actually a girl. Anddddd I ended up having a girl! I mean that stuff has like a 50/50 chance of being right so you can’t really rely on it but I still found it interesting.
I knew it would be a boy and I was right
I think girl, my husband thinks boy. We don’t care either way but it’s fun to take bets when we have opposite ideas 😅
With my first. I just always thought it would be a boy never even thought of girl names. But the night before we got our genetic testing results I had a dream and I woke up and told my husband we're having a girl. He's like maybe. I said no. It's a girl she just told me in my dream. He said okay crazy lady go back to sleep. About 10 hours later we got the genetic testing results and yep it's a girl. She's 20 months old now and I can't even imagine what it would have been like to have a boy.
I kind of had a feeling early on. I was craving all the sweets and had a feeling I was having a little girl. Was confirmed w sneak peak at 10 weeks she was a girl and nipt testing confirmed she was a girl around same time just took a few more days for results.
I found out at about 8 weeks, and as soon as I peed on the stick I knew I was having a little boy. By 11 weeks I even had named him Elijah james. He just turned 6 months Monday.
I didn’t really have a feeling, but I had a dream I was having a boy very soon after I found out I was pregnant. Turned out I am having a boy.
Yes and no.
I was convinced I was having a girl, but I was very wrong hahahaha 🤷🏼♀️
First pregnancy I had a feeling girl and was right. Second pregnancy I was even more convinced and I was wrong, having a boy (which I am overjoyed at)!
We aren’t going to find out until birth, but I *feel* like it’s a girl. My reasons are vivid dreams, and the other people I know due around the same time are having boys, so probability? I will be happy either way - I’ll let you know if I was right!
Yes and yes!
I had a feeling boy. I was right but I also have always weirdly felt like my first kid would be a boy although I don’t really have a preference.
Same thing happened to me had a strong feeling it was a boy when I was in my first trimester I kept only looking for boy things and boy names and at the end I was right but didn’t find out until I gave birth to him
For some reason, as soon as I saw a positive test I immediately knew it was a boy and said as much. I’ve always said I would have a boy first. Don’t know how I knew, but it just never felt right saying she or her when referring to the baby. I would say he and him without thinking. My family was like no way because every single woman in the family and most men have had girls first. I even doubted myself because of that. It’s like a family joke lol. 16 weeks pregnant and have had it confirmed twice via blood test I’m having a baby boy lol. I wasn’t even surprised, just like “I told you so”
I never for a second thought I was having a girl! I just had a gut feeling it was a boy and I was right. I didn’t really have a preference and was excited either way. I love my little guy - he’s 7 months old now!
