Feeling from past life, or knowing, stuck.

Before I ever came to such a situation myself in this life I would have this particular feeling. Plus I would have an entirely different knowing. The knowing was that I knew that my first born would be of a specific gender, this knowing was so strong that it was seemingly part of my very backbone. While growing up I did not think much of it, I thought perhaps in my future I would have a child of this gender. Knowing what I know today it was not my future, it was my past, I had had no preparation that I was going to die when I did and how I did in my past life that I'm thinking did this

I think I may have been influenced, or been triggered, with the feeling I've had from my past life, when it would re appear in my present life. Has anyone else been feeling this or simply having this knowing but not knowing where to place it?
