Kimberly Quaid and mother's intuition

Yes, and I've also experienced it with other close people such as my baby sister. I burst into tears for no apparent reason one morning, listening to a song that I really liked that made me think of my kid sister. Later I found out that at that very moment, my sister was feeling devastated at the sudden, totally unexpected break in her engagement. This is just one example. A woman's intuition is a type of real knowledge that isn't understood/recognized in today's world because modern science is male-centered.

I experience it quite often with my DS who is sick and has a rare disease. Doctors poo-poo me a lot, and I'm always right that something's wrong. My mother *still* knows when something is going terribly wrong with me and my family, and we live across the US from her!

Well, I knew the sex of all 3 of my children before they were born (or with the 3rd, before his ultrasound - he was the only one where we found out ahead of time).

I've also had other little moments - always waking up immediately *before* my nursling did. I do definitely believe in mother's intuition.

It's a little scary. I had a very strong feeling my first was a girl, and she was. With my second, I had a very strong feeling it was a boy, and that there was going to be something wrong with him. He was born perfectly healthy 11 months ago, but I am still waiting for something to happen. Every time he gets sick, or is the tiniest bit late reaching a milestone, or even makes a funny hand gesture, I think - Is this it? I wonder if I will still be waiting for the proverbial bomb to drop when he goes off to college.

There is nothing much stronger than a mother's intuition, especially for those of us not afraid of using it. A great book I found on intuition is called Intuitive Healing by Dr. Judith Orloff who is both a psychiatrist and an intuitive empath. (what a combination) After reading this book, I didn't feel silly when I had a strong feeling about my children and their safety, I just act on it. I has never led me wrong.

Every time I have ignored my intuition regarding my children, or I let someone else tell me that I was wrong about my children...I have regretted it.

I refuse to ignore that little something from here on out!

I've been right about they sex of all three of my kids. And I knew that my best friend was going to have twins shortly after we found out she was pregnant, before she'd even seen a doctor.
