second guessing mommy intuition

Ok I'm almost 18 weeks I have two weeks until I find out what I'm having.  My mommy intuition says girl.  When picking a name it was so easy it felt right. looking at boy names just didn't feel right I can't pick one. I don't really believe in wives tales bit they all point to girl.  My gut said girl but I keep second guessing. Had anyone had this problem and what did/are you having?

I believed it was a boy and the majority of the wives tales said boy. And my mom was dead set that it was a boy and he is!! But I had my second guesses. I figured out a girls name much easier tho! Hard to say! I bet you'll have a girl ;) let us know

There's a 50/50 chance you're right.
I'm finding out what I'm having on the 29th. I feel like I'm having a boy, it doesn't feel at all like I'd be having a girl. I don't bet my feelings on it though. There's no way to know until the doctors can tell you for sure.
When my Mother-In-Law was pregnant for my husband she was certain he was a girl and once he was born she was shocked to have a little boy. She had a bunch of girl stuff already too. Lol
I know a lot of people who thought for sure they knew what they were having only to be disappointed. It's better to not keep hopes up and just wait till you know for sure before you set your heart on a certain gender.

Mommy intuition for me always said girl, as well as all the wives tails. About a week before finding out I started second guessing and I think because I didn't want to get my hopes up so much so I wouldn't be disappointed if I was wrong. I was however right! Not to say I wouldn't be happy with either or though, I just knew.
