Carrying high or low

[Serenitylee]

So I guess most of us have heard the myths about if your carrying high its a girl and if your carrying low then its a boy...so who here is carrying high or low? and is there anyone that can prove these wrong

Ive always carried high - ' i just swallowed a basketball' - kind of look. Ive got 3 girls. Dont know what this baby is....but im carrying the same......

I dont believe it. I cant see how a doodle makes a difference to how your belly looks - but thats JMO.

My girlfriend had a baby boy last year - she was the 'high round basketball' type too.....

With DD1 I carried high and with DD2 and now DD3 I am lower.

Yeah I cant see how it would make a difference, i find it quite funny that alot of people go "oh your carrying high it's a girl" etc. I personally have not had that but have had people say it to my friends when they have been pregnant.

ive always carried low. ds was obviously a boy, we shall see what this one is

I am carrying so high that everything under my belly button is SSSSSOOOOOO jelly and wobbly. Quite disturbing really!

Apparently this is a girl, but we shall see. The sonographer was 90% sure but that was at 20 weeks.

I was carrying high and it was a girl but I think it is just an old wives tale! How you are carrying probably depends more on your body shape and things like that, I would think.

Angelaartsstudent - I'm also slightly disturbed about all my wobbly bits below the belly!! Everything else is rock hard!

I am also carrying very high. Everyone keeps saying "oooh that means a boy", but I'm still kinda hoping for a girl anyway (but I tell everyone who asks about sex, that as long as its a human baby, I'll be happy). As a biologist, I am positive there is no physiological reason why we should carry one sex 'higher' than the other. Old wives tale for sure
