I've heard the same voice on other occasions.
After I had my second son, I developed ulcerative colitis, but it was undiagosed, and I became very seriously ill.
Both my husband & I wanted a little girl, but I didn't think I'd ever be well enough ~ and I was well into my thirties by then.
I helped run a mother and toddler group, so there was always a new pregnancy to report. I would then be asked if I was having any more children, to which I would reply no ~ I wasn't well enough and my age was against me.
But every single time the voice came and said 'but you will have a third child'.
And I did ~ a baby girl.
At first my symptoms were diagnosed as a flare-up, but the pregnancy actually settled my colitis, making it much, much better. The baby was 14 last week!

My father was extremely sceptical and would tell the story of when he was 16 his father died and his mother 'dragged' him to spiritualist meetings. His mother never received a message and he was of the opinion that a cohort of the charlatan would listen in to women talking of their hopes in the waiting queues. My mother too used to say "When you're dead you're dead".
Roll forward a few decades and my daughter went to a girls Tarot Card Party her group of pals had organised. When it came to her turn for a reading she walked into the room and the Reader asked her; "Who are Brian and Don?"
"Why?" asked daughter as she sat down....
"Because they've walked into the room with you" replied the woman.
Bryan was my OH and Don(ald) was my father.
I wonder why her other grandfather Jim wasn't there 
Cheers,
Rena

I told her I was visiting the church yard where I thought thay were buried and if I could find the grave I would take a photo.
I walked into the cemetary and took a deep breath as I thought I would be searching for hours.
I walked straight up to a headstone which was right in the middle of the church yard.
I went to a country cemetery looking for my g grandmother's grave. The church office was closed, so I couldn't obtain the grave reference, and took pot luck trying to find it - without success. I just decided to take a general photo of the cemetery, and return at a later date.
I returned a couple of months later, and although there was no headstone, I obtained the grave reference. When I found that reference point, I realised that I had actually been standing on the unmarked grave of g grandmother when I took the cemetery photograph those months before.

Not exactly, no, but it has only been since I did my tree that I found out where I got some of my children's names from. These names, which came into my head out of nowhere and then insisted themselves onto me, I now find were ancestors with powerful personalities. So I'm actually open to the idea that I was "told" who to name my kids after. My husband thinks this idea is quite mad, but can't offer any other explanation, so he shuts up.
What is weirder, in my opinion, is the coincidences I've found between my daughter's ancestry and her husband's. On 3 totally separate occasions, in different parts of the country, they each had ancestors living within a street of each other at the same time. In fact the sister of one of my daughter's ancestors married the cousin of one of her husband's. On another occasion the ancestors from each side had the same occupation at the same time, one street apart. They MUST have known each other. It's almost as if the two family lines have been trying to connect down the centuries, and finally did it, but both families had to emigrate to the New World to achieve this.
