Did you know you were pregnant before you were far enough along to take a test? Did you know the gender of your baby, or that you were carrying twins, or that a certain part of your pregnancy was going to unfold a certain way? Have you ever known something deep inside yourself without any logical explanation for how you could know it?
That is intuition. Some people call it inner knowing, some call it a sixth sense, and most of us just call it a gut instinct. It is a way of receiving information that does not come through sight, sound, smell, taste or touch. It just arrives, whole and quiet, and it is usually right.
Pregnancy seems to turn the volume up on it. I hear this from clients all the time. A woman will tell me she knew she was pregnant days before the test turned positive. Another knew she was having a girl and bought nothing but pink months before any scan. Another had a strong feeling about the timing of her labour, and it happened almost to the day. These are not lucky guesses. A mother starts connecting with her baby long before that baby is in her arms, and intuition is part of that connection.
So how do you tell intuition from hope, or from worry? In my experience it comes down to how it feels. Intuition is calm. It does not shout, it does not argue with you, and it does not spin. It simply repeats itself, gently, the same message every time. Worry is loud. It changes its story every hour, it argues both sides, and it leaves you more wound up than when it started. Hope sits somewhere in between: it wants something to be true. Intuition does not want. It just knows.
If you are getting those calm, repeated knowings right now, write them down with the date. You will be surprised later at how many of them were accurate, and having it written down is how you learn to trust your own gift instead of second guessing it.
I would love to hear your stories of pregnancy intuition, the times you just knew. And if you would like me to look at what is coming for you and your baby, you can find my pregnancy readings here: https://www.cheri22.com/life-readings-3
