    Did you guess from early on if you were having a boy or girl and were you right?

    Okay, just wondering if any of you were sure you knew if you were having a boy or girl, before you had the scan to confirm, or before you had the baby and were you right?

    With my last pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage, I was absolutely certain it was going to be a boy and afterwards dr confirmed it was a boy.
    This time I'm absolutely certain again about the sex, but won't be finding out till birth. I'm curious if I'll be right this time...

    I have dreamt correctly both times what genders both mine were. I can't wait to have another gender dream

    I had a feeling DS was a boy from very early on, but I ignored it as I wanted to have a girl first. Turns out my first instinct was right!
    DD I thought was boy/girl twins at the start but once I found out there was only one baby in there I thought girl for the rest of my pregnancy.
    My intuition says this bellybub's a boy, we'll see in December whether I'm correct!

    DH bought a pink dummy and set it on the microwave very early with DD1. I was convinced (like would have bet my house convinced) she was a he....he was righter than me.

    DS I actually had a dream about a fair haired little boy. My sister was due with her second within weeks and I thought it was about her. I didn't know I was pregnant at the time. My sister had a girl.

    DD2 I knew all along.

    I was right both times, 1st I knew was a boy and we waited until birth to find out, we bought all unisexed clothes but I bought one sneaky blue outfit to take to the hospital with us. No one else thought boy, everyone including DH thought we would have a girl.

    2nd I knew was a girl, 12wk scan she said she thinks it might be a girl and I ran with it lol and I was right!

    Years ago I always got the gender right for family and friends as well but the last few years I've been getting all of them wrong!

    I was right both times for mine. I suspected DS was a boy from the very first positive test. I wasn't quite as confident with DD as I really wanted a girl & thought that my wishes might be clouding my intuition but I was right.

    I rarely guess right for other people, lol!

    DS1 I knew right from the get go it was a boy.

    DS2 I was convinced was a girl until around 12 weeks. Then I was positive he was a boy, but it took the sonographer 3 times to figure it out for sure!

    DD1 I was certain was a girl. DS I was certain was a boy. With my third child, I KNEW I was having a boy. When the US tech told me it was a girl I almost fell off the table... and told her she was wrong. Uh, no... she was right!! Poor woman, when I argued with her she thought I was disappointed - I couldn't have cared less, I was just certain DD2 was a boy.

    I would have been surprised if Spock was a boy but not surprised if she was a girl itms. DH was dead sure she was a girl.
    ive had a dream our next will be a girl and am already sure we will be havihg another girl and Dh made a comment the other week about getting another girl (which messes everything up because he has g b g b g b g ...so next should be a boy (but its not its a girl =p)

    Did you guess from early on if you were having a boy or girl and were you right?

    I thought girl for the first 20 weeks then I suddenly entertained the possibility that it could be a boy. We never picked a boys name and DH said he thought girl.
    I think for me it was because I knew we DTD on the Sunday and according to my dating scan it appeared that I was a few days behind that so I figured it was a long lasting girl swimmer
    When DD was born and they said girl I was not surprised

    From the word go, I thought two girls and sure enough, two girls. Even though everyone round me was saying one of each. Pfffttttt what do they know

    I thought DD was a boy - nope!

    Second time round I was sure DS was a boy, everyone else told me boy too (even the Chinese woman who gave me induction reflexology 2 days before birth!). I kinda wanted to be wrong to avoid everyone saying "oh I told you it was a boy" lol.

    With DS I was wishing for a boy but was convinced he was a girl.

    With this baby I was wishing for a girl but convinced it was a boy. My ob did a scan at 15 and 16 weeks and says its a girl, ill find out for sure in two weeks

    I was so off the mark that embarrassingly even when DD was born I checked her genitalia and announced Samuel had arrived and turned to DH and said 'see I told you he was a boy'

    I was wrong both times. I was so shocked when I saw that DD1 was not a boy at the Morph scan. DD2 I was suprised too but not as much as DH who was convinced they were going to say boy at the scan.

    I think everyone is hoping I am wrong again this time. I really think we are having a girl and every else says boy, but I think it comes more from hope then thought.

    Thought boy both times, have two girls. I did find we settled on girls names easier though.

    I was convinced my first pregnancy was a boy, although it ended too early for me to find out.

    I did have a dream early in my 2nd pregnancy that I was having a girl but ended up having a boy. Towards the end of the pregnancy, I kept dreaming I was playing with a little girl so I made my Ob do another scan just to make sure bub was still a boy
