It's not much, but enough to be considered statistically significant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-978668 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:46:55 +0000 heartonastring 978668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was absolutely CERTAIN we were having a boy. I was shocked when she was born and they told us she was a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-978646 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:38:40 +0000 Honeybee 978646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I was the same! We were Team Green both times and while I had no clue with my first (a girl), I had a pretty good guess with my second (a boy). </p> <p>I'm excited for you to find out about #3. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-977481 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:01:04 +0000 Espion 977481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had zero intuition, not even a flicker. DH was convinced that LO was a girl. We were both shocked (in a super happy way) when the OB said boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-977435 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 08:47:56 +0000 swedishfish 977435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew LO was a girl and DH knew LO was a boy...I was right :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-977104 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 05:13:51 +0000 lamariniere 977104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my 1st I just KNEW he was a boy from the very beginning and I was right. </p> <p>I'm 20 weeks tomorrow with #2 and am completely clueless! 2 more weeks until the anatomy scan and I cannot wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976796 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:50:16 +0000 Ree723 976796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my LO, I was convinced she was a boy the entire pregnancy! I think it was more trying to convince myself it was a boy though because I knew I really wanted a girl and I didn't want to be disappointed at all if it was a boy. It was only once I was in labour that I started to think it might be a girl....and it was!</p> <p>This time around, I am 14 weeks and am 95% certain it is a girl. Of course I have no idea and we're TG again so I have a long way to go until we know, but I will be absolutely shocked if it's a boy, that's how convinced I am it is a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976774 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:44:08 +0000 MapleMoose 976774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not Team Green but I had no intuition before the anatomy scan. DH "knew" it was a girl even though everyone said boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976675 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:05:31 +0000 tlcbaby 976675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe I just didn't want to get one sex in my head and have LO end up being the other, but I never thought of him as one or the other, but now I can't imagine him being anything other than him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976632 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 19:42:01 +0000 wonderstruck 976632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I really don't believe in the whole 'intuition' thing, some people just get lucky and the gender they picture ends up being correct. I mean, let's be real, there's a 50% chance of being right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976418 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:20:37 +0000 ALittleP 976418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no strong sense until the very early morning of the day of our 20 week u/s. I had a dream that the doctor said it was a girl and it was the first and only dream where boy or girl was said. Later that day we had the u/s and sure enough, she is a girl!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976411 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:14:22 +0000 JessKas 976411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly I have no real idea. I have dreams it is a boy, but I wonder if that's because I want a boy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976324 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 16:26:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 976324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were totally sure we were having a boy even though we were team green. It the last couple of weeks I started having doubts but still thought boy... Nope! It's a girl! I was so surprised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976321 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 16:24:27 +0000 artsyfartsy 976321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my first baby and I have NO clue. My mom is dead set that its a boy though.</p> <p>I find myself calling the baby a HE somedays and a SHE somedays. Today it's a she lol. We're not team green but we have a little while before we find out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976245 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:48:57 +0000 FarmWifeGina 976245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were both fairly positive our first was a boy- he was. No clue with our second- she was a girl. I have felt pretty sure that this pregnancy is a boy too, since the very beginning, but I'm not sure if that's preference or intuition talking. I *think* it's intuition, by I guess I do have a 50% chance of being wrong.</p> <p>ETA: I actually called DH to ask him and he said he thinks this one's a boy. But he also said he really thought our girl was a boy and was completely surprised when she was a girl. &lt;-----lol, I did not know this before today and she's 2.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976206 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:34:38 +0000 ElbieKay 976206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both suddenly convinced it's a boy, but we won't find out for two more weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976189 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:27:48 +0000 MrsH 976189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go back and forth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976185 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:26:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 976185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was absolutely sure I was having a girl (we were also TG). I was shocked to hear DH announce that we had a son! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976178 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:24:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 976178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally thought I was having a boy, had the bedding in the PBK cart with his name on it...and we were told GIRL! I was thrilled because I wanted a little girl but was all ready for a boy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976151 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:11:46 +0000 bisous 976151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the beginning we both thought it was a girl...as my pregnancy went on though, so many people were absolutely sure it was a boy. So if I did have an intuition, I ignored it because so many thought the opposite (and some claimed they had never been wrong!).</p> <p>We had a baby girl though! Our families were shocked when DH went out to announce it--they truly thought he was joking. It's kind of sad on video! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976128 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 15:05:29 +0000 jetsa 976128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 32 weeks and have no idea. Guesses have been around 50% each way so thats not even a help ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976111 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:59:29 +0000 Charm54 976111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are team green and I keep going back and forth... up until 20 weeks I was POSITIVE it was a boy. After our ultrasound I started really thinking girl. Now at 32 weeks I have no sweet clue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976108 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:58:19 +0000 Modern Daisy 976108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I were so sure it was a girl that we didn't even entertain the thought that it could be a boy. We still did a cute mini-reveal though to be sure with a gender reveal cake served to us after dinner at a nice restaurant adn it was.. a boy, lol! </p> <p>I think I wanted it to be a boy so bad that I just knew it would be a girl. So I ignored all the signs that it was a boy, like the fact that I had no nausea at all, we did an IUI during the last moments of ovulation, the lower heart rate, etc. I focused all my energy on psyching myself up for a girl, which worked - I miss the idea of frilly dresses and girly things, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976070 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:47:28 +0000 Chillybear 976070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i swore up and down it was going to be a boy.... we got to the 20 week ultrasound and the tech said "yup its a GIRL!" i made her check twice but there was no denying the lady bits </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976025 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:29:34 +0000 Dandelion 976025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had intuition with both DS and S and was right both times. I already have a guess for this pregnancy, but I'm not sharing until I know for sure, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976019 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:28:23 +0000 PurplePeony 976019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're team green and I have no clue. DH thinks its a girl, as do my dad and brother. My mom thinks its a boy. I keep wondering if I'll develop any intuition as the pregnancy goes on, but nothing so far at 19.5 weeks. We have to wait until December to find out who is right, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-976001 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:22:48 +0000 Rescuemom10 976001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally thought I was having a boy. Nope. Dead wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-975993 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:20:40 +0000 prettylizy 975993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no clue the whole time. I kept waiting for the big moment to hit me and it never came. I convinced myself I was having a boy. She is not a boy! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-975992 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:20:38 +0000 Smurfette 975992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back and forth. No real gut feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-no-intuition-when-it-came-to-girl-vs-boy#post-975990 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:19:45 +0000 tipperella 975990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my daughter, I was SO sure she was a boy. I had the ultrasound tech check again (and then check again at a later ultrasound!). Everyone around me thought boy as well based on the way I was carrying, but she's definitely a girl. :) My hunch is boy again for #2, but we'll see! </p>
