Did you have a "feeling" of what your baby is/was going to be?

I'm just curious. With my first baby, I just knew he was a boy. Everything just felt boy. I even had a dream I could see him in the sack on my mom's bed completely alive (strange pregnancy dream lol).. I knew from looking at him, he was a boy. With my second, I started off thinking it was a girl. I think because I really wanted one of each. But, as time went on, I got to the point that I just felt he was a boy, too. And he was. I just knew before the tech even told us that he was a boy. This go around, I'm in-between. I sometimes feel like it's a girl then, sometimes it's a boy. Mainly girl. I don't know if it's because I really would like to experience having a little girl. I have horrible acne. It's all over my mouth and chin.. And even under my jaw. I wanted salty/sour things with my first boy. My second I wanted sweets. This one I want more sweets and started off wanting spicy food. Going through gender reveal idea's and my gut is saying girl. But, I could definitely be wrong. Have any of you felt what you were having from the beginning and was right? We have 9 weeks if we wait until the big ultrasound or 5 weeks if we decide to find out early to know what we are being blessed with. I'm ready to know either way.

I keep trying to talk myself into thinking this is a boy even with just the "girl" feeling I'm having. Can't think of any boy names what so ever. It was the opposite with my two boys. We couldn't find a girl name. But we have one set in stone for a girl. I want to say to everyone I feel like it's a girl, but someone always says it's a boy. I'll be happy either way. The boys heart rates were both 136bpm. This baby goes up to 160's. And was in the 170's almost to 180's. I know you can't go off of that. But, it's hard not to think about.

I knew she was a girl from the beginning but bc my family is full of girls everybody wanted me to have a boy and kept telling me it was gonna be a boy.I wanted a girl so bad but everyday I was being told it was a boy I almost started to believe them. The day I went for the ultrasound I still felt like she was gonna say its a girl but I had to prepare myself just in case she said boy(not saying I wouldnt have loved him any less). Butt she said its a girl! And I got to rub it everyone's face lol

With my second I tried to convince myself every which way that I was having a boy…but in the back of my mind I knew I was having another girl. It was just sitting in my gut, during the gender ultrasound I told my dr that I already knew what I was having and he thought I had already had an ultrasound to find out, I told him no I just had a feeling and sure enough I was right.

I tried every fun gender test in the book and tried to convince myself that it was a boy, the ring test, the cabbage test, the baking soda test, my dreams were of twin boys. Somehow you just know...

I knew with all 3 of mine and I have been right all 3 times. Even though I wanted this one to be a girl I dreamed he was a boy and it was confirmed boy at 16w. Good luck

I feel like it's a girl. I don't know why I feel that way but I think I'm not allowing myself fully to say it because it could be another boy. But from what I feel, it's a girl.
