I had posted many months ago about my unexpected pregnancy ... That I have 3 boys , one having special needs. I was nervous about being judged & jhow my husband would react &hadn't come to terms with the pregnancy. I got a lot of support from many of you & it really helped me . On tough days , I would read the responses to keep me feeling positive. Anyway , we ended up having a beautiful baby girl , after 3 boys. She was a surprise & we decided to wait to find out the gender( I was positive , she was a boy . So, we were very surprised again, that she was a girl. She is the sweetest thing ever & my husband couldn't be happier.
So, has anyone's intuition been totally off about the gender of your child?
Thanks again, to everyone who was supportive.

What can I do next?

I have found intuition to, in a lot of times, be nothing more than wishful thinking.

Think about when a disaster strikes, there are those that feel, even though no one they love is anywhere near the disaster, that a loved one has been harmed. Others who know they have loved ones on ground zero, believe they must be fine. Sometimes they are right.

You had a 50/50 chance, ya know? I told everyone the gender of all four my kids, long before I knew. Yeah, I can look back and say I am intuitive. Fact is I just guess right, or better yet, my wish came true.

Congrats on the new baby. Not to bring you down but they are a trip in about 10 years! I wouldn't trade my girls for any peace, ever!

Mine was totally off. Thought I was going to have a girl, and the ultrasound proved me wrong.

So glad I was wrong. :) Love that boy. I do have pinafore envy though. Seriously, when I go to those little antique malls and find super cute wee tiny girl clothes, I do get a little pang of 'awwww'. Enjoy your girlie!

I was completely wrong. Well actually every single person I saw was so sure I was having a boy and I always joked and said I was having a girl because I'm argumentative but then the doctor kept saying he during the ultrasound so we assumed they slipped. we couldnt stop laughing when they said its a girl

ETA
CONGRATS!!!!!

I just assumed my second baby would be a girl because I already had a boy. Not logical, I know. Anyway, I wasn't the least bit disappointed when my second turned out to be a boy. I am actually very glad I had two boys.

Congrats on your baby girl!!!

My intuition was right, actually. I felt we were having a girl. I had an ultrasound and the technician said it was a boy. I was surprised! I kept thinking that something wasn't right. Then I had an amnio and the nurse called w/ the results. She asked, "Do you want to know the gender of the baby?" I replied, "Oh, we already know from the ultrasound that we're having a boy."

She replied, "Nooooo you're not! You're having a girl!"

Ha! I knew it! ;)

I always thought I'd have two girls, then a boy. So with my first, I was just positive she was a girl, and to my delight, she was! With my second, I knew instantly that I was having a boy and I was correct again. The third one threw me. Since I'd always envisioned two girls, I was sure he was a girl. I was really shocked when the ultrasound showed a boy! So instead I have a girl and two boys and it couldn't have worked out better. My boys are so close. I know they're going to have such a great relationship as they grow up.

Congratulations! So happy for you. Blessings to you, and your new little miracle. My you find all the extra patience you need as you raise all four.

(I had a dream about my little girl before I conceived - even her future name came to me. Even still, thought I'd end up with a boy. Yep, it was a girl. All my wildest fears and dreams came true, as I was terrified of raising a girl, having been one. But she's sweet and I wouldn't change anything.)

Hugs to you! :)

Congratulations, glad everything is working out! I found out the gender of all of my kids while pregnant but I really thought my oldest was going to be a girl so I was surprised when the u/s showed a boy. After that I didn't really guess.

I was 5 mths Pg with my oldest when my MIL died. I told everyone that I was certain that my baby was a girl. She was. My second child I had the same certainty but this time that he was a boy - he was. My third child I was less certain, but felt pretty strongly that she was a girl. I didn't really have preconceived notions of a desired gender for any of the kids, just wanted healthy kids. This was in the days when you didn't do US unless there was a risk of something wrong. I did have the option of finding out the gender of the last but chose not to. I must say I do have a fairly good (but not perfect) record of predicting other peoples babies genders. Glad everything is good with your baby girl!
