I happened to go to a psychic and she told me, my boyfriend didn't believe me and was set on a boy. Being a man I think that's always what they want, but when the tech told us it's a girl I was like booya told ya so. So I was only right bc the psychic told me so, but we still picked out a boy name just in case. (:

We waited for all four of our kids until delivery... amazing how this frustrates many people! What a surprise for my wife and me when she delivered a boy fourth time around after three girls. I do have to confess that I thought I may have spotted something I shouldn't have at one ultrasound that may have given it away! Wasn't positive but now I know what I saw!

My good friend waited until the delivery to find out boy or girl. However she was so sure it was a boy that she handmade all blue birth announcements! Then SURPRISE a bouncing baby girl. :) lol. A pink ribbon was added to each blue announcement.

Cath - Such a fun suprise! I LOVE it when my friends/family waits until delivery to find out the sex. It makes for such an exciting day. :-)

For us, we decided to wait until delivery to find out.

Most of the way I was convinced it was a boy and everyone who saw me said I was carrying a boy. Even my husband felt it was a boy. Then we picked out both a boy and girl name to be ready. One night I couldn't sleep and started to dislike our girl name so then thought, hm, maybe its a girl.

Then during delivery my doctor didn't know so the full room of nurses and doctors kept saying the symptoms I was having during labor that it would be a boy. At final delivery, they cried its a girl! She went straight into the a side area to be taken care of due to some complications and when it was all ok they held her up for me so I could confirm.

It goes to show that not all the old wives tales are accurate.

For me, I made a right guess for my baby girl. The time I am pregnant many of my neighbors, friends and even me and my husband guess it correctly that it's a baby girl. I kept on reading articles on how to know your baby.

I have no intuition either lol. Last time I thought I might be having a girl (I had a boy) but I was never really sure. This time I have no clue at all. My feelings don't really go toward boy or girl.

Good to know I'm not alone! Serenity - sounds like you are one of the exceptional people out there! I love your story about the ultrasound. :-)

My wife guessed wrong three out of four! It's funny how during pregnancy, one lady would come up and very certainly say she was carrying like it's a boy, and the next day someone would say she was definitely holding a boy... flipping a coin has just as good odds!

I have been right with some of my children and wrong with others. I thought my last baby was a girl for sure, but he was a boy! Surprise Surprise!

That is to funny Julie! Good thing you didn't have the birth announcements all picked out in pink!

Nice work Serenity. :) Your story made me smile.

When I was pregnant with both my boys, I thought it was a girl each time. Apparently I have no sense of intuition about the gender of my babies in the womb! Did you all guess correctly with your kids? I’m curious to find out! :) --Julie, Strongmoms facilitator
