My mother-in-law, who wasn't then, knew about my first before I did. I wish she had mentioned it sooner; my life would have been less complicated....
Well, with my last one, I knew right then and there. I questioned my sanity for thinking so, though, till I found out for sure. It was April Fool's Day and her due date was Christmas Eve but she came screamin' down the chute really quickly once it got right down to it. She was born a week early, to the day. I had had to spend the first 3 months and the last 3 months on bedrest with her. It was in the days when abortion was only by doctor recommendation and since one of my sons had had 3-day measles which exposed me to them, the doctor recommended I have an abortion but I refused. He said the reason was that the likelihood was that she'd be born blind, deaf, severely retarded with other birth defects or even all of those. She was born absolutely perfect in every way, beautiful and gifted musically and intellectually.
If I'm actually in the presence of a pregnant woman, I can usually predict pretty accurately. I just "know" what gender the baby will be by looking at her but I can't tell you precisely how I "know".
