    Gender prediction - old wives tales

    Which of the old wives tales did you try and did they work for you?

    I'm only 15+3 so don't think they would work for me yet but thought it would be fun to see what came true for you!

    I personally do any, but everyone around me was judging my body shape. I only put on 10kgs and it was all baby belly, all out in front. Everyone told me I was having a boy. MIL & SIL were annoyingly persistent about it so I was quite happy to prove them wrong with my gorgeous little girl

    I'm 22 weeks and carrying all out front. I've not put on weight anywhere but my belly and I even still have a waist at the sides. So of course everyone says I must be having a boy but I'm actually having a girl!

    I have carried all out in front with all of my pregnancies, I too keep my waists at the side. And I have had (am having) all boys.

    I carried low with my boys and high with my daughter. The boys took over my body but DD was just a tummy. I was gaining weight when I got preg with my boys and was lossing it with my daughter. I was sick with my boys but unable to function sick with my daughter. I think you can find the tales to suit what ever if you wanna look Here everybody thought I'd hav another boy (but we knew it was a girl- because it the pregnancy was SO different to the boys)
    DS1 loved spicey and fruit, DS2 loved choc, DD loved fruit

    So- do you have a high bump or a low bump?

    I have had three pregnancies and three different bellies and ALL three times the world was convinced the way I was carrying was a boy.... I have three girls, THREE girls after everything everybody ever said about how I carried, what I was eating etc etc.... its a guessing game right to the very end!

    I completely opposite pregnancies. Sick with one, not with the other. Craved sweet with one, craved savoury with the other. etc, etc. Both were the same gender.

    Good luck with guessing and all that. You've got a 50/50 chance.
