    Signs of Having a Boy or Girl

    So i know that there is no definite signs of what gender you are having but i would love to hear what some mummies think theirs have been

    My main thing is (SITMI) i have started growing more hair on my stomach. I am a naturally non hairy fair body haired woman, but so far i have started growing hairs on my stomach EK!

    Funny thing is my SIL had the same thing happen for my nephew but not my neice. Could it be a sign of a boy that we get hairier??? anyone else had this????

    I really craved salt through both pregnancies, but more with DS than DD. I didn't really want anything sweet with him, to the point I'd feel nauseous after a little chocolate, but with her it was sugar all the way

    The girls in my mother's group have all been having their second bubs over the past year and we've been closely monitoring sympotoms and comparing our previous pregnancy.

    The one theme we seem to have found is that when PG with a girl we've been more teary, sensitive, vulnerable when emotional, but with boys we've been more angry, impatient and irritable. I definitely found this difference with my 2. With DD I cried at the news, Bondi Vet, a kind gesture.... anything! With DS, well I'm not usually an angry person at all, but honestly by the end I just wanted to kick stuff. Hard. And got road-ragey, snippy with DH and generally pi$$ed with the world. It was ugly! My Mum said she was actually relieved when DS came early as she'd been really struggling with how snappy I was getting - I felt awful. Had no idea I'd been that bad!

    For me it was sugar and salt thing too. DD all I wanted was watermelon and sweets, DS it was chips/crisps and salty stuff. I also had a Linea Nigra with him, but not with DD or this one.
    This time it's watermelon, grapes, cheeseburgers and salt....so who who knows
    This one I've been horrified to have long hairs growing on my chin, but never had it before....maybe I'm having a puppy?

    My belly got very hairy when i was pregnant! So not a sign of a boy.

    Though witnessing friends/family with both sexes i noticed with boys they were moodier where as with girls alot more emotional. With my DD i cried over EVERYTHING, it got so ridiculous DP banned me from watching tv as i would sit there and cry over everything. My emotions got mixed when i was really happy i would cry i was a huge mess!

    My two pregnancy's were complete opposites so I thought that DD2 would be a boy but nope. I got a really hairy belly with DD1 but not with DD2.

    everyone i know irl thats had the dark hair line on the belly has had a boy.
    this pg is the total opposite of my last pregnancy so im assuming im having a boy this time. this time i have had bad m/s, multiple nose bleeds a day, sciatica from 10 weeks, barely a day without a headache and the constipation is incredible nothing i do fixes it. with dd apart from fatigue and getting bigger you wouldnt have known i was pregnant. the cravings are for almost the exact same things, however this time they arent very bad, last time id have probably scratched your eyes out for a choccy milk...

    My pregnancies have all been identical. Morning sickness to exactly the same week, I carried exactly the same way, no difference in my moodiness or emotions between the pregnancies. I had a boy and then a girl. I guess that's why my (identical again) symptoms this time around don't give anything away to what sex I might be having, lol.

    Oh! I just remembered, with Amelia I seriously craved onions on EVERYTHING. I'd never eaten an onion ring before that, and usually asked for no onion on my burgers... Then the cravings hit, and I went nuts. It's still pretty bad, and even when she was a month old I went off at a Hungry Jacks person in the middle of the night

    With my boys, I craved meat & potatoes and veggies in general. With my girls, I craved fruits, fish and bubblegum ice cream. Lol.

    I have carried differently with my pregnancies and my earlier cravings were different too. I actually had aold woman arguingthat THIS baby was definately a boy because of the way I am carrying ... I will be having my third girl sometime within the next 9 days.

    My hair on my belly has thickened up a little but my arm hair is not as much as it usually is

    I think it depends on your family genes as to what happens with your body during pregnancy so check with your mum or your maternal grandma to see what happened when they were pregnant.

    I cant remember with DD lol but i dont recall growing hair. people use to say its based on your belly shape but that was totally untrue coz DD was a big mover and my belly shape was all sorts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You can also try the chinese gender chart, so far it has been 100% correct for me and my group of girlfriends (6 kids)
