How did you "know" it was a boy/girl?

[jardiggle]

With #1 and #2, I had a lot of the stereotypical symptoms that made me fairly certain of what I was having.

With #1 (boy) I craved salty/spicy foods, lots of pickles and cheese etc. Sweets sounded HORRID, I couldn't stomach juice etc. Gained weight all over my body. And I ate and ate and ate and just couldn't get enough food in me.

#2 (girl) I CRAVED orange juice and actually liked chocolate. Most of my weight was in a tiny little ball straight out in front in my belly. Appetite was much more controllable!

This time I am confused. I FEEL like it will be a boy...for no particular reason other than I just think that's what I will get. I'm kind of craving the spicy/salty AND sweet stuff this time. And I feel like I'm MUCH less hungry than I was with my boy. BUT - much less sick than with either of my first two, which leads me to feel it might be a boy - I was much worse off with my girl.

What were your boy/girl symptoms?

I just kept dreaming it was a little girl! and just felt in my gut it was a little girl x

lots of sickness at start of pregnancy
my appetite was terrible at start, i would hardly eat but now i eat loads
hair growth has slowed right down,especially on my legs

 

[FebMum2Be]

I had no idea whatsoever, I didn't get "that" feeling, I think it's amazing though and would love to feel that! OH's mummy and granny guessed right away x

 

[spice]

this is my first, and my symptoms seem to be a real mix,

didnt really have morning sickness, was only queasy
dont really have any cravings (oh wants them to start soon so he can laugh at me )
not tired, but not sleepy
and my bump is forming all out front!

oh wants a boy, id like a boy, and my nan said it has to be a boy as then she'll have one of each as great grandchildren!

any guesses??? dont have 20week scan till 24th march and ill be 21 weeks by then!

 

[clairebear22]

We always knew we we're having a boy because the men in my OH's family don't have girls! lol

I also have just a tiny bump and nobody can tell i'm pregnant from the back. My hair has also stopped growing so quickly!! x

 

[Rayoflight]

I had all the typical girl traits;
Hair grew loads (all over!)
Bump out front
Craved sweets
Sickness really bad especially at the beginning and then at start of Tri 3

I was so convinced I was having a girl I bought a purple pram!

Seeing a little pair of balls coming towards me as he arrived and they placed him on my chest was a bit of a shock!

 

[Lulu_Laroo]

This is interesting to read! My hair is growing super quick and i've craved sweet things like fruit and chocolate, but oh is convinced it's a boy... hmmm!

 

[Mrs.s]

I'm having a girl and I felt that straight away told everyone they all laughed at me but I was right!!

But my symptoms have been all over!

Wasn't sick at all I was constantly hungry and ate like a horse at the beginning I have gained weight elsewhere but I do have a very sticky out big bump

Craved meat and cheese at first then I have craved fruit all the way through

Hair hasn't grown as much on my legs

Skin was terrible in the first tri

 

[xshauna_bazx]

I have no idea how i knew lol. Everyone seemed to be having boys so i said i'll have a little girl and she was

 

[Cantstop]

I just felt she was a girl, my mam was sure she was and my OH thought she was - and she is! Or as far as they can be sure, we'd all be pretty shocked if a boy popped out at the end! The only thing that would suggest a girl is the craving of sweet things, but tbh I am always like that so don't think it can be blamed on baby.

 

[pinkymum]

I had no idea, just before I found out I started thinking boy. And I was wrong lol.
X

 

[Belfast girl]

I'm convinced its a boy, and have been from the start, just had a feeling - but when I do any of the predictor things I have both boy/girl indicators swaying more to a girl!!

Will find out on Wednesday, hopefully, so can let you know if gut feeling was correct!!

 

[Stunned]

I was absolutely convinced that I was having a boy! Kept dreaming about a boy and had the name chosen and fell in love with the baby boy clothes in the shop. I had a mixture of symptoms. Severe morning sickness and diarrhoea for 5 months. Loved twiglets dipped in hummus in the beginning and a craving for chocolate towards the end of the pregnancy.

Then the scan showed I was having a girl! and I love every bit of her.

 

[tinytoes]

I was positive I was having a boy , I didn't find out though. But I was so convinced I took a blue sleep suit into the delievery room . I had a beautiful baby girl .

 

[EmmBee123]

I have a feeling that Pickle will be a boy, only because when refering to baby I keep saying he. We're staying team yellow so got to wait until october to find out!

 

[mumofmany]

I just knew with my 1st 3 and was right and i have carried exactly the same with all just a little bump at the front. then with my 4th and 5th i got totally wrong was convinced they were the other sex and when they were born i was pleasantly suprised, i just didn;t think i could be that lucky to go boy, girl, boy, girl, boy.

 

[Vicxzy]

I was convinced it would be a boy from day 1 & still am, even though a 17wk scan confirmed shes a girl!
Ive had major sickness (supposed to indicate a girl) But cravings for salty, cheese & sour & hate sweet stuff now used to choose choc every time but cant abide it now which is supposed to be signs of a boy!x

 

[teampc]

I have no idea lol, I'd say I have more of the girl signs than the boy signs, like I'm craving fruit and love anything sweet but have gone off things like bread and stuff. I was horribly sick until a couple of weeks ago too.

My friends seem to think I'm having a boy, but none of them no why lol
