Have you ever had a strong intuition for gender but been WRONG?

[wanderinggypsy]

That's my question! I seem to be automatically calling this baby "he". I can't remember how early intuition set in with my others, and if I was ever misguided.

What are your experiences?

[lotus.blossom]

Yes. I was definitely feeling the girl vibes, but its a boy!

[ruthmg]

Yup - I was convinced this was a girl, had a beautiful name picked out by about 12 weeks (Evelyn Lily), but then had a level II and an amnio - the XY can't be refuted! It took months to come up with a boy's name, but we finally did.

[avivaelona]

been right once and wrong twice...all of mine have been boys.

[Peony]

I've called it a boy twice. I have two girls. This one is just going to get called it.

[mama-aya]

I was certain my forst two were girls. Certain! They're not. This one I feel certain is a boy, but we'll just have to see....

[wanderinggypsy]

Hmmm...I have two boys and an 18 month old girl .... guess we'll wait and see!!

[namistenicole]

Yes, both times! Thought DS was a girl. Thought DD was a boy.

[surprisedmama]

you have a 50% chance of getting it right I was wrong with both of mine. We will see this time if I have gotten better at it.

[friendlymamma]

Yep - I was CONVINCED DS2 was a girl. Maybe it was more the fact that I wanted a girl...I don't know. But my 2nd pregnancy was so different (better) than my first one, which I guess was really why I thought it had to be a girl. It was a let down to be wrong, I'm sorry to say. This time around I didn't even let myself think either way, and surprise, it's a girl!

[jmo]

Oh, defintely me. I apparently do not have very good intuition. I was sure dd was boy and then this one I was sure was a girl. Nope. I even keep saying she when talking about this babe and the u/s was pretty conclusive it was a boy.

[DevaMajka]

I was convinced that ds was a girl. lol. So much that I didn't *really* believe the u/s tech that he was indeed a boy. (I didn't buy any blue until after he was born.) My mom was certain he was going to be a girl too.

I'm pretty sure this one is a girl too. So...I'd give it about a 50/50 chance. lol.

[chic2chic]

i was wrong both times. this time i'm refusing to have any intuition at all!

Same here. I chalk it up to wishful thinking though because I already have 3 boys but only 1 girl.

[wild fire child]

My mother has two girls and three boys. Each time, she had dreams where they were the wrong gender, had names easily picked out for the wrong gender but could not find one for what they wound up being, and strongly felt they were the wrong gender.
I have no input yet for myself, I don't know the sex and won't find out until it decides to come out...though that could be any day now

[sdejje]

With my first four, I just *knew* what sex they were going to be. And I was right each time. When #5 came along, I was CERTAIN that I was having a girl. I announced it to everyone, only washed baby girl clothes, called her Elisabeth (didn't even think about boy names), and then she came out with an extra appendage. Oops. I refuse to have any intuition with this one.

[hedgewitch]

I was right with the first one and totally wrong with the second. Dp was right both times....grrr!

[Devaskyla]

I was right with both boys. I'll let you know with this one, baby refused to cooperate at the ultrasound.

[Baby_Cakes]

I was convinced I was having a boy. I just felt it in my bones, and I leaned towards boy clothes and toys. I pictured myself with a little boy (both infant and child).

Nope! Nora is all girl!! And I love her to pieces!!

[Ruthla]

I had no clue with my first 2 pregnancies. With my last birth, though, things were SO similar to my previous pgs that I was convinced I was having a 3rd girl (although I had 2 names picked out just in case.) I didn't quite beleive it when he popped out with boy parts!
