Kendra Wilkinson Feels First Kicks, Predicts Baby is a Boy

Craig Barritt/Photosmith

At just over four months pregnant, Kendra Wilkinson is celebrating a very big milestone — baby’s first kick!

“It was so crazy,” she tells Us Weekly. “I was just sitting there and then all of a sudden, ‘Bam!’ I was like, ‘That wasn’t gas!’”

Although the movements “felt weird,” Kendra says she suspected that what she was feeling was real and a little investigative work proved her instincts were right.

“[Husband] Hank [Baskett] is in Phoenix, and I called him right away and was like, ‘I just felt it kick for the first time,’” she recalls. “I just researched on the Internet, if you can feel it kick this early… and it said I can, so it’s crazy!”

“I got really excited … I was like, ‘Oh my God, something is in there! It’s healthy!”

In two weeks, the couple — married in June — will learn the sex of their baby-on-the-way, and Kendra’s intuition will again be put to the test. “I still think it’s a boy,” she says.

Happily settled into her second trimester, Kendra adds that she is “feeling great,” looking forward to her Lamaze classes and has even been partaking in some traditional pregnancy cuisine. “I’m craving a pickle right now — and I hated pickles before,” she shares.

Fans of her reality show Kendra shouldn’t expect the December delivery to make its way onto the small screen, however. Kendra, 24, adds,

“That will be all private. I want to be able to spend my quality time with what’s been growing inside of me for nine months!”

I think they already know the gender.

I don’t think so, it’s still a little early unless they’re having genetic testing done, which I doubt. Besides, it’s Kendra, she will let it slip as soon as she leaves the ultrasound! She looks cute here, finally starting to show.

- Brandi on July 15th, 2009

You think they already know the gender?
So why would she tell us she is finding out in two weeks?
Not quite sure where you are coming from with that one…

- MissHeather on July 15th, 2009

Love you Kendra ! Would love to see her pregnancy moments on the show, but understand the need for “some privacy” in your lives. Best of luck !!

- gymrat on July 15th, 2009

I think it’s a girl. She had mentioned one of the things she was craving is fruit and that’s what I craved throughout my pregnancy with my daughter. As did my sister with her little girl but not with her son. Not that it’s an exact science. Just sayin’….

- Amie on July 15th, 2009

If she wants privacy, then it’s probably better not to announce any more details throughout the pregnancy. Not to be mean, but you know, it’s odd to repeatedly share “Here’s my cravings, name choices, religion he’ll be, etc” and then tack on “but we want privacy.”

- megan on July 15th, 2009

I think the privacy comment was meant exclusively for the filming of her show. At least thats how I read it.

- N on July 15th, 2009

Maybe she already does know.. but whats to save the announcement on her show? That will air in 2 weeks? ..I dont know.. just guessing…

- Lauren on July 15th, 2009

she annoyed the hell out of me on Girls next door, but I guess at least she’s authentic lol. She’s quite cute with her little bump and that dress looks like the party version of her wedding dress lol

- kai on July 15th, 2009

megan…I took her comment to mean the actual birth will be private. Not the pregnancy.

- Lola Marie on July 15th, 2009

Oh and I am so excited for her!!! She looks really cute in that pic…no makeup and just a ponytail.

- Lola Marie on July 15th, 2009

She meant she’s not going to videotape the birth for her reality show. To that I say good for her! I think it’s too personal a moment to be on TV (though I did watch A Baby Story every day towards the end of my pregnancy, LOL). She never said she wanted privacy during the pregnancy.

I also don’t think she already knows. Lauren, I don’t watch the show, but I thought the season finale was her wedding to Hank. So, she wouldn’t be announcing the gender in 2 weeks on the show b/c they are still filming for next season. Why do people always assume the celeb already knows if they share what their guess is for the gender?

- MZ on July 15th, 2009

She looks really cute!! I can’t wait to find out what they’re having.

- Thrifty Sisters Coupon Clipping Service on July 15th, 2009

I like Kendra. She seems sweet. Young, but sweet. The only thing that really annoys me is the overuse of the word “like”. Like, do you know what I mean? Ugh, it sounds so uneducated. She needs to remove that word from her vocabulary.

- phililpa on July 15th, 2009

She looks like shes glowing, love her! Although it would be fun to see her handle being a new mom, I respect her wanting to share that with Hank & the baby!

- L on July 15th, 2009

Alot of people thought I somehow knew the gender too because I swore up and down with this baby I was having a boy…however, I found out @ the u/s that we were expecting our third girl in late August, so gut feelings sometimes are just that.

She seems so cute and happy. Never seen her show but her interviews are just so happy and adorable.

- Mary-Helen on July 15th, 2009

Well, Kendra is around 17 weeks so she could know already. I’m 2 weeks behind her and very tempted to get an elective ultrasound, most elective ultrasound places will guarantee finding out the gender at 16 weeks (or you can come back for free). If I had the money I’d definitely do it.
But, she’s been so open about everything I don’t think she does know. Why would she say when they’ll find out if they already know?

- Amanda on July 15th, 2009

I agree Helen – I also swore up and down and was totally convinced that we were having a girl…. I had the fruit cravings, carrying high, every single old wives tales said girl. Turns out it’s a baby boy! You just never know Can’t wait to find out what she’s having!

- Stephanie on July 15th, 2009

I have never heard of her. Is she a singer or an actress?

- janie on July 15th, 2009

@janie-she is a former Playboy playmate and was one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends the past 5 years or so, since around 2003 to 2008, and now she is married to her husband Hank Baskett who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles.

If she is into her 2nd trimester, and is just after 4 months along, then she will be able to know the sex by next ultra sound. I think it’s going to be a girl, but maybe its a boy. Sometimes instincts can be right, and sometimes not, time will tell.

Either way, I am so happy for these 2. They just seem so much in love, and really grounded and so excited about everything, their relationship, and the baby..etc. Congrats to them

- Mia on July 15th, 2009

Totally possible for her to know the sex of the baby. My son was due a week before her baby is due when I was pregnant & we found out at the end of June of that year that he was a boy when I was 17 weeks.

- Jess on July 15th, 2009

I craved fruit and salty stuff and had a girl. My friend who was due the same month craved only sweets and had a boy. I’m curious to see if this myth is true! I think she will have a boy, but I am always wrong on these things so it’s probably a girl, lol.

- alannasmom on July 15th, 2009

That makes no sense what so ever.

- lilah grace on July 16th, 2009

lilah grace- What makes no sense whatsoever?

- CelebBabyLover on July 16th, 2009

I disagree about the fruit thing, think it’s just coincidence. I craved fruit with our son but didn’t while preg with our daughter, so just varies I think, nothing to do with gender IMO….

- Sam & Freya's Mum on July 16th, 2009

I craved the same foods while pregnant with my son and also my daughter! I think it’s more to do with your hormones

Gender scan is anywhere from 18-20 weeks, isn’t it? It’s none of our business if she knows already anyway, IMO. Kendra looks fantastic!

- teacey on July 16th, 2009

This truely is a magic moment when you feel the baby’s first kicks, you look fantastic!

- 12 Weeks Pregnant on July 16th, 2009

I am due two days before her and am 17 weeks and 1 day now, so if she wanted she could have already found out the sex. I have not due to the next appt being later on this month and then scheduling an ultrasound. But she is far enough along to determine the sex if she wants. I think the earliest they can tell gender via ultrasound is around 15 weeks. Atleast thats what my ticker said on my myspace. Women sometimes have an intuition about what they are having. Maybe she just has a feeling and is going with it. I did with my girls and I was right about both of them. There was just something that told me deep down that I was having girls. I don’t think we should really read too far into comments of people like that though. Im sure she’ll announce it on her show!

- *AJ* on July 16th, 2009

I’m pretty sure what Kendra’s trying to say is that she’s having the scan to find out what gender she’s carrying in two weeks. She looks lovely here I think she’s going to be allll belly

- Saraah on July 16th, 2009

I’m due exactly one week before Kendra (if she is due on Christmas Day), and my gender screening is Monday next week, so her timing could be legitimate. My doctor recommended not doing the screening to find out the gender until the 19-20th week, and that’s what most of the websites and books out there recommend as well.

And really, why would she say she was going to find out when she is if she already knew? She could just say that she didn’t want to find out and have that be the end of the speculation.

- Alayna on July 16th, 2009

Kendra-drink more water! Pickles=sodium which will make your body want /need water. Enjoy this exciting time! Best wishes!

- April on July 16th, 2009

I think most doctors prefer to wait until 18-22 weeks for gender scans, the parts are more pronounced and it’s more accurate. I think it’s possible through ultrasound starting around 12 weeks though, I found at 15 dince I work in radiology and ultrasound is right next to us, I bugged the tech til she caved haha. My dr didn’t do his scan until 2 months after that. Seems like it takes forever!

Kendra looks gorgeous, I think it’s a girl!

New computer, sorry for the typos, I’m not used to this keyboard!

- Jessicad on July 16th, 2009

The privacy comment did seem specific to filming the pregnancy.

I didn’t find out the sex of my baby, everyones always told me its the biggest surprise of a parents life so I just held out. I didn’t have a clue what I was having either and when she was born I didn’t want anyone to tell me lol. I wanted to look and find out myself. Seems weird in hindsight.

- gaia's mom on July 16th, 2009

I love Kendra and Hank is a total rock for her. He gives her balance because she’s sooooo crazy and out there. I think she’ll make a good mom. She seems very excited!

Congrats to them both

- ericka on July 16th, 2009

also, the privacy comment was only for the taping of the delivery on her show. She didn’t mean they are keeping everything private…that would be impossible with her show. I respect her decision not to want to air such a private and emotional event in ones life. This is their time as a little family and shouldn’t be intruded on by us if not desired by herself or her husband.

- ericka on July 16th, 2009

i think it’s a boy too congrats!

- addie on July 18th, 2009

the the old wives tales aren’t true…if it’s a boy it’s a boy.if it’s a girl it’s a girl.yall can’t say what gender she’s having.so whatever gender she’s having doesn’t hurt her.

- Amy on July 18th, 2009

I’m due in early October and I swear Kendra’s pregnancy seems longer than mine because of her over sharing. When she starts to get hard kicks at 3 AM everyday, then she’ll be in my shoes, not finding the kicks amusing as they once were!

- Gigohead on July 19th, 2009

Giohead;
Cut the lady some slack its her first baby and it was a very exciting and “first time” thing for her. She was just probably shocked that she could feel it that early. I am due two days before her with my third so although I can feel kicks its not as exciting as it was the very first time I felt my oldest daughter’s kicks and hiccups. It was just one of those first milestones of pregnancy for her. I don’t think we should be so negative to say things like, “oh sure its “amusing now” but just you wait till you feel what I feel.” Everyone goes through their own milestones with their first babies and this is just one of her first. Give the lady a break. I found it exciting enough to tell my husband the moment I felt our third child kick and Im not due until around her time. However Im not as excited as her because its not my first. But when it was I was just as excited and thrilled with every new little exciting thing that happened. I don’t think she is over sharing in the least, I just think its her first and many of us “over share” without even realizing that we do it on the first and sometimes each one we have after! =0)

I am so happy for them! I think the way her mom acted was deplorable! I mean she can support her being nude and doing all that she did but when she wants to have a normal life she dumps on her?! Kendra is better off without her. I am glad Hank is so good to her they rock together. You can see how in love they are and that baby will be so loved! Rock on guys!

Amie…I craved fruit with mine and I ended up having a boy….I would sit and eat fruit like I couldn’t get enough of it…..

- Stacey on August 6th, 2009

- lin on August 8th, 2009
