    Any way of knowing if its boy/girl

    Was wondering if theres anyway of knowing what sex the baby will be, without waiting for the ultrasound.

    Im 12 weeks, and was wondering whether you can tell by the cravings you have, or by what you eat.

    Ive even heard people say you can tell by the way your tummy sits?

    Are these myths? Or is there some truth behind the theories?

    type into a google search, chinese pregnancy calendar
    it will come up a calender/graph, you have to say how old you are and when you conceived

    it was right with my DD, and right with quite a few friends!!

    as far as i know they are all myths!! i went my iniution and was right both times.
    you only have 8 weeks to go until you find out.

    my cravings have been different but have not really made a difference. i am carrying exactly the same as my boy this time around.

    the chinese calender was right for me though!!

    Chinese calendar was way off for me = both times.

    However, the ring test was right both times.

    My cravings were different for each baby - so I have an idea of what this one is that I'm carrying - or I could be wrong. I don't think you can tell by the way you carry a baby - cos everyone will carry differently, even with subsequent pregnancies cos the path has already been paved - so to speak

    I did the ring test (after about 15 weeks) and everytime it said we were having a girl and we did!... I slowly moved the ring over my husband at the same time and it changed direction!...I also NEVER had a sweet tooth before I was pregnant yet I could not get enough of banana paddlepops and mini violet crumbles.....they say a sweet tooth is a girl and savory is a boy. (so my mum and sister think anyway)... All the best, it is fun just speculating!

    oh my god,.... haaaang on.
    I think i did the chinese calendar thingy wrong.

    I feel as though im having a boy....dunno what it is, but i just fel it.

    And when i did the chinese calendar, i put in the month i conceived, which was january....and i put my age in as 22.... but i only just turned 22 4 days ago...

    so do i put down the age i was when i fell pregnant? or the age i am now???

    Cause if its the age i was when i was concieve.. that means i was 21. And the only chance of a boy when your 21, is in the month of january

    Hello
    the chinese calender and my intuition told me I was having a boy and correct - having a boy. I also did countless online home wives tales pregnancy tests, which every time gave me a positive 80% I was having a boy. Fun to do if nothing else - and asks all the old wives tales/questions we hear once we are pregnant (drinking oj; excess hair; which side do you sleep on etc).

    Enjoy this time.

    what if when you do the ring test it swings back and forth but kinda turns a little?

    im only having the one baby.. not twins incase you thought that be the reason
