Did your dreams predict your baby's gender?

[Ferne]

Hi,

Prior to finding out the sex of your baby, have any of you had dreams that predicted your baby's gender?

When I was pregnant with my first, my husband and I decided we wanted to keep our baby's gender a surprise until birth. That was fun!

Although we didn't know that we were having a girl, any dreams that I had (or at least the ones I could remember the following morning) always showed us having a little girl.

I'm wondering if anybody has experienced the same thing? The opposite?

I would love to hear more stories about gender dreams and whether they were right or wrong.

It's actually interesting you bring this topic up.

With my first pregnancy I had loads of dreams about the birth and in my dreams I had a boy, yet in real life turned out to be a girl.

With my second, I didn't have nearly as many dreams but of the few that I had, I dreamt girl, but I ended up having a boy.

Go figure!?!?!?!

Thanks for the response Quisty. I haven't had a dream yet with this one but I'm glad to hear about your experience. Otherwise, I might have put too much weight into any dream I may have regarding this baby's gender.

I've only had one dream I can remember so far where I had a baby with me and it was a girl

I'm very surprised I haven't had more 'baby' dreams! I'm dreaming loads in general and very vividly but only the one with a baby so far x

Yes - although I only had one gender dream. I dreamed they told us they were 75% sure it was a girl. Fast-forward 6 weeks to the ultrasound, and they said they were 75% she was a girl! I, of course, said that wasn't good enough, so we went back a second time when baby's legs were uncrossed and they were able to confirm. As much as they are allowed to, anyway

Nat - Are you going to find out the baby's gender? And when will that be?

robinator - Congratulations! My daughter and I are so close and we do everything together. It's awesome. Is this your first?

With my last one,Skyla, I dreamt soooo much that she was a girl! I had so many dreams it was unreal! I still thought she was going to be a boy until my 20 week scan

When I first got my BFP with this one I had a couple of nightmares but never knew what the baby was in them! Then nothing...not one single baby dream not even now I know he's a boy!

I had a dream the night before my gender scan with both DD and DS and they were both correct. I had a dream this baby is going to be a girl the day before my BFP..we are going to stay team yellow so I guess. Have a long wait to find out if my dream is indeed correct again. Lol

 

[Ferne]

inxsmhpy - One of each! Congratulations. Did you just find out? That is wonderful!

Maple Leaf - Are you waiting until they can see it on an ultrasound? Or until the VERY end? Since you already have one of each, and toys and clothes for each, maybe wait until the end?

We waited with our first and I swear it is the only thing that kept me pushing for 3 hours. No, I didn't stutter. I said 3 HOURS. You're right, they don't have people push that long and I shouldn't have pushed that long BUT they kept thinking she was ALMOST out! They were wrong. Or, more accurately, she wasn't moving much with each push (she was big-8lbs). Imagine the migraine. Wow! Wow. Anyway, I digress, the point was - I pushed A LOT because I couldn't wait to find out.

This time, we're going to find out. I didn't get to prepare a nursery the first time because we were in the middle of renovations to our home and we were living in a rental. I had no clothes, nothing. I thought, "I'll get it all after the baby comes." Please, there is NO time for shopping and what have you after the baby comes. Especially when your child has GERD and you need to walk non-stop to keep them comfortable.

I heard you don't have to push so much the 2nd time around. True? It's been awhile since my last baby. By the time the new one is here, my daughter will be 4 years old.

The dreams I had with my other 5, weren't really boy or girl. But, when I was pg with my 3 boys, I had alot,.. I mean, ALOT of sex dreams With my girls, not so much. This time it's still kinda early but I haven't had any sex dreams yet

 

[Gia7777]

At our 12w NT scan the tech guessed we may be having a boy, though obviously too early to tell. The night before I had the scan I had a dream I gave birth to a baby boy monkey (don't ask, it freaked me out)

We'll find out in about 10 days with a private scan.

 

[Ferne]

happymamma - I had a lot of sex dreams as well but I had a girl. It's got to be the pregnancy hormones! I don't think it was a bad thing either because I had a really high libido throughout my pregnancy.


Gia7777 - I can't wait to find out whether you're you're having a boy or a girl or a monkey! Please come back and let us know!

In answer to the above.....we are waiting til the very end.........we have one of each but had them 12 and 9 yrs ago and since then we have given everything away and moved from the UK to Canada. We had no intention of having another baby - but surprises happen so we will wait and get the ultimate surprise! Lol

That's so exciting! It's the best way to do it!

FerneThanks I found out two weeks ago. He is actually my 6th child and 4th boy

My second was actually my worst to push out but he was 9lb 1oz and my first was only 6lb 10oz! My last one was worse than my middle two but that was after a ten year gap!!

You are a super mama! I can barely handle 1 little one, let alone six.

So you were right! About the baby being a boy. Not a monkey.

Congrats Again Gia!!


Anymore dreams predictions? Right or wrong.

I just popped back in here to see if the average dreams were right! I had a dream last night I was having a girl. I wouldnt be surprised though, morning sickness was horrible with my girls and not as bad with my boys. The only problem, I dont know if I have enough patience left for another girl I guess I'll have to find some if it is...

With 5 kids, you have plenty of patience. How many daughters do you have? And how old are they?

I have a Boy, 10, Girl 8, Boy 6, Girl 4, Boy 18mths,.. so if I keep with the pattern, Im due for a girl lol. My patience is running thin though!

Oh, I also did the chinese gender predictor, and its been wrong with all 5 of my babies. So, if its also wrong with this pne, it's going to be a girl.

I have my nt scan next week, I wonder if it might be too early to find out?
