Any Intuition if a Boy or Girl?

Just wondering if you have a strong feeling about the sex of your baby (for those who don't know, and for those who do, did you have an intuition before you found out?)

I have never in my previous three pregnancies had any feeling one way or the other and usually guessed wrong.  This time, right from the start,  I have had the clearest feeling it is a girl, had a very vivid dream early on that it was a girl, and think of the baby as a girl all the time.  I don't know if this means anything! Maybe just wishful thinking, though I would be happy either way.

Have any of you had similar experiences?

Well, like you, I can't really say what I think I'm having, only what I'm hoping for (which is another girl!#.  I didn't really have a feeling with any of my pregnancies though....  DH claims to have had dreams with each of my girls #while I was pregnant with them) that they were girls.  He told me a few weeks ago he dreamt we were having a boy.  Although I'm sure I'd be thrilled with whatever we get, I still really want another girl, mostly because all the stuff we have is girl stuff, LOL!  We'll find out in December what we're having so until then, it's anybody's guess...

I have always been wrong with what I think I am carrying, for my last few pregnancies I go on how I carry the baby. With my previous sons I carry low and have a round little baby bump, with my girls I carry hip to hip and high not a very nice looking oblong bump, So with theses two I look like I have swallowed a inner tube so naturally positive it was girls...Wrong!!!

I'm almost certain I am having a boy and I know it's not wishful thinking, because I would love to have a girl. My reasons for thinking this are twofold. One, my SO had a son previously, and his brother has three boys. So boys run deep in his family. Second, he also had a dream after I just found out, that it was summer and he was playing with our baby boy in the pool.

But who knows...I also really *felt* like I was pregnant with twins right off the bat, and the ultrasounds are only picking up on one....plus my symptoms have never been severe enough to make me continue to think one may be hiding.

Guess time will truly tell!!!
