Is anyone else feeling really intuitive?

[Bubblette]

This is my first, so obviously everything is super new to me. I just have this overriding gut feeling this bub is a boy! I can't explain it, but I really feel like the baby is a boy. The more days pass the more sure I seem.... and I'm not quite five weeks yet!! (tomorrow

And last night I just had this wave of assurance that I don't need to worry about m/c, we're going to have a healthy, happy, full term baby at the end. I know this feeling it utterly irrational, since so many things can happen, but I just can't shake that feeling. I just feel so confident.

Is anyone else having any major intuitive moments? or is this just how first timers feel...

I don't have that right now, but I think I may be worring that away at the moment.

However, I have had that same feeling for almost every one of my children (and the same, but "bad" intuition, for my one born still). I can usually tell you what I am having before 8 wks, and twice before I even missed a period. I have never been wrong!

Hope you have that boy.

I was like that with my son. I knew he was a boy!

Yes, I FELT we conceived minutes after DH and I DTD. And then had that crazy dream I mentioned in the 'Getting to know you' thread. I tend to know I'm pregnant before a positive test, or DH tells me I am because I become super argumentative.

With my last, I was convinced it was a girl, and she was going to be big when she was born, and she was going to come late. I was wrong on all three counts. So I've decided to try not to intuit this time, I am clearly bad at it.

I think I am having a girl.

Of course, if I don't, dd will be very dissapointed.

i;m feeling more open, but not intuitive in the sense of knowing the sex of the baby. i think it's a girl it feels like a girl, but i have been fooled before.

what has happened to me though is dreaming of my best friend jill, who died suddenly last year. i dreamed she was really alive and she was finally with me again and then the whole day following the dream, i felt her right beside me all day protecting me. it was a wonderful feeling.

Yup, very intuitive. Last time with Josie, I knew she'd be sticky (which she was) right from the get go, and I am feeling like that this time as well. My HPT now at 14DPO is as dark as the control line on an FRER, and yup, I am feeling just peachy

I really do think that (and having seen some of the posts when ladies have miscarried as well) intuition is enormous here. After all, how could some of us be feeling differently before the child has even implanted and not be making it up? I know I did, both pregnancy cycles, from the time I conceived - I just felt different. I think it has to do with the energy within us

I have always been right about what I'm having. Last time I knew there was something wrong and I was right. I never go in for early u/s but I felt i needed to. I ended up miscarrying. This time I'm so worried that I feel completely detached. I can't bring myself to guess gender or anything. I'm hoping that will pass with time and I can think more clearly.

This is how I am feeling this time. And it is probably due to my recent loss, I am sure, I just can't seem to get my head around it. And I can't seem to trust that it will be a sticky baby.

However, it is not like I felt with Zeph. With him, I just KNEW something was wrong. And somehow I KNEW that I would never carry him to term. He was my first loss. And I can't explain it. I was all past the "safe point". I had never lost one previously. But when he was born still at 18wks, I was in no way shocked. Because it was like I had known all along, and was the tiniest bit relieved to know that it was not all in my head and that it had finally happened. I don't mean to sound horrible, but waiting and waiting for something bad to happen and just KNOWING that it is coming is very stressful.

I miss my son every day. He would be two and a half now, toddling around with my boys.

I don't have THAT feeling of dread this time, but more of a detached feeling this time. Like I am waiting for someone to pull back the covers and tell me it is all a dream.

I am strange. I know. I am just waiting for my mind to accept this and then for my gut to tell me who I have hiding inside.
