    Red face More old wives tales...

    I told a friend yesterday (who is less than a week behind me) that i fell over. She said that the bubba is going to be a boy. I have never heard of this, i fell over with Jett and i didnt fall with Zhai, they are both boys.
    Has anyone else heard of this??

    LOL - does this mean the sex isn't determined until the universe waits to see if you fall over! Or does it mean you become more clumsy if you're carrying a boy? Either way, it's a funny thought!

    No - I've never heard of it. My SIL is having a girl and had a really heavy fall recently so I'd say there's nothing to it.

    I have not heard this old wives tale but i've heard SOO many others that i dont even know which ones are real and which ones aren't but it is interesting to see all the different ones that are out there.. especially the really far out there crazy ones!
