Anyone have a feeling of baby's sex?

For the past few weeks, somehow this baby, in my head, has become a girl. I read this study that showed that mom's who had a feeling were 70%  of the time correct IF they didn't have a preference. I totally prefer a girl. Logically I know it could go either way, but when I think of this baby it is 100% a girl no question and I keep having to remind myself that I truly don't know that! I know that I would be just as happy either way in the end because either way they are MY child. Right now I feel like if I find out it's a boy I will be totally shocked and confused and kind of disappointed. Not because I wouldn't love a boy, but because I feel like so connected to this baby GIRL inside of me. I am so surprised I feel this strongly! A friend of mine who had her baby this summer said she wanted a girl, but from the get go she just knew it was a boy. And she said that at the ultra sound she felt a bit disappointed and then totally guilty for feeling that way. I would just feel terrible if I was unhappy when finding out the baby sex. Anyone else experiencing this? 2nd+ time moms, did you feel this way and were you correct in your mamma instinct?

Everyone wanted a girl for baby 1 but I had a strong feeling it was a boy.  I was right.  This one I feel is a girl but that might be because ds has called this baby "sister" from early on.

Yes! I have this overwhelming feeling the baby is a boy, however i think I am secretly hoping for a girl. I know I'll be thrilled with either though. A friend of mine wanted a boy badly but was 100% sure she was pregnant with a girl, and she turned out to be wrong. I wonder if it's my mind subconsciously preparing me for either situation? So curious to find out!

I was wondering the same thing. I mean since I was a kid I have wanted to be a mommy and dreamed of having a little girl. I am just wondering if I am "feeling" it is a boy because I don't want to be dissapointed if it is not a girl.

In both of my pregnancies, I've not had a preference.

Last time I had a feeling it was a boy, and it was.

This time, I am feeling girl....we'll see in 13ish weeks!

My first PG I was convinced it was a boy from very early on and I was right.  My second PG that ended in M/C I didn't have a feeling either way.  This time I keep thinking girl.

With my first pregnancy I had a feeling it was a girl and my husband had a dream that is was a girl and it was. We have a beautiful four year old daughter who is really hoping for a sister!!!  Haven't had a feeling yet as to whether this one is a boy or girl. In some ways hoping for another girl because I always wanted to have a sister but had two brothers.

This except the opposite. Dreams and everything. I had no preference and was team green. I nearly passed out when they said it was a girl in the delivery room.

I honestly have no preference. DH wants a boy to carry on his last name, so I would be thrilled for him if it was a boy. It would also mean DS would have a brother kind of close in age to him. However, I would love to have a little girl to have that mom/daughter bond with. Either way, I'll be happy.

 I have a strong girl feeling, but I don't know if it's because everyone in my life has been telling me that #2 needs to be a girl (nobody knows we're PG yet).

I think it may be a boy, but I am not necessarily having a strong feeling about it yet. My DH thinks it is a girl. We already have one of each, so I will be happy with either.

I want a boy really bad and for some reason, I just feel like that's who is in there. If I am wrong, I will be just fine because either way, this baby is my child. But I want a boy so bad haha I keep referring to my "bump" as 'he' when in reality, I have no idea. We'll see February 14th...

From the moment I found out I was pregnant, I felt like this baby was a boy. Everyone at work asked me if I had a feeling, and my answer was boy. At 14 weeks we found out that this little miracle was a baby boy :) My husband and I weren't shocked lol. We just had out 20 week a/s and he is still all boy :)

Listen to your intuition, its "normally" right :)

I was convinced my first baby was a girl. He is a boy, though. This time, I'm also feeling girl, so I predict boy. Honestly, I'm nearly 100 right w/everyone I know when I predict gender...but I always predict opposite what I actually feel.

With DS, I really, really, really wanted baby to be a girl. But, ultimately, the night before the big ultrasound, I just knew that he was a boy. Obviously he still is.

This time, I also wanted a girl, but I know what it's like to have a little boy, so I wouldn't have truly cared either way. Again, the night before the big ultrasound, I knew he was a boy.... and he is, confirmed by 3 ultrasounds since then.

Everyone over here is thinking boy... but I would be thrilled with either, no real preference.  

I think for me its b/c of the timing of conception.  I think for DH its b/c he'd prefer a boy.  Right around the day I O'd my mom called me and told me she had the most vivid dream that we had a boy and it looked just like DH.  A few weeks ago my sister called to tell me she is sure its a boy too.   

 Guess we'll find out in a few months!

With my first I had no feeling either way, I think it was because I was just so happy to be a mom it didn't matter what it was. I ended up having a baby girl. With my second I had a feeling right away it was a girl, but was hoping it was was a boy so we could have one of each. Since I thought we were done after number two. We had a second little girl, so my gut feeling was right. This time I swear it's a boy, but keeping thinking it should be a girl. I am so use to having little girls, I am almost scared to have a little boy! Even my DH swears it's a boy and will not think of any girl names! We shall see on Feb. 14th if my gut is right this time too.

I just new my daughter was a girl. I had a strong feeling! I had no interest in looking at boy things or boy names, either. Not that I wouldn't be ecstatic with a boy, but I was so positive she was a girl, I felt like why bother. I have the same feeling this time. I just strongly feel this baby is a girl. My husband really wants a boy so I hope I'm wrong! Lol! :) But not that we wouldn't love this baby to the moon and back regardless of whether the baby is a boy or girl.

This is a good question! Last pregnancy when I miscarried, I was SO convinced it was a boy, I never got to find out, but I had the biggest gut feeling and the thing is, I want a girl really bad. So this time around I really feel like it's a girl. Hopefully I'm right!

This is my first, and I honestly have no preference, just a healthy little bundle of joy! However, I tend to keep calling it him/he, I don't know why, I just feel like it's a boy. Even when I think of baby names, I can only think of boy ones, girl names just don't pop in my head.
