Ive heard it said a fair bit, that if all the baby weight sits at the front on your tummy, its a sign its a boy, and if it sits everywhere...(ie- thighs, waist, lower back etc) its a good sign of a girl.
My mum said she went by this, on guessing the genders of 5 of her 6 kids...
Im not calling her a liar lol, but i was wondering if anyone also thinks this to be true, could it be hereditary, if my mum could tell boy from girl, could I?:rolleyes:
i dont reckon- i think some women just "know" others dont. FWIW i'm carrying the same and it's a different sex.
i also though o'ed and dtd on the same day and got a girl!! so who knows really??
you mum was a very lucky women!!
i think its a myth.
U have a 1 in 2 chance of picking the right gender. Its not rocket science. Its a good myth tho... one that will be around for centuries i think.
FYI - my belly was very out front and very high. N most of my weight went straight to my tummy. I had a girl.
Bwahahaha nah I think its complete crap - you'll carry the baby the way that your body carries it - not by what genitals the baby has ;)
:
yeah thats what i though, surely your body doesnt know to carry each gender differenntly just because of that one different tiny thing between them...
I feel as though it a boy, and my DP thinks and hopes a girl. we have a 100 buck bet going.
I really feel like its a boy, i dont know what it is, but i just feel it. Not sure whether it might just be that i got carried away buying clothes, and a lot or most of them are blue... lol (silly me):rolleyes:
The only "myth" that was successful in predicting both sexes of my bubs was the ring test - so give that a go ;)
Usually I am pretty good at just knowing. I was completely off this time, but it was more my paranoia speaking this time round.
This one has been up and down like a bouncy ball. I'll be carrying high for days, and then it looks like I have dropped until sometime later when she is up under my ribs again.
I was always told i was carrying a girl with DD1 as all my weight was gained on my butt and thighs....sure enough i did have a girl....and gained 18kg
With DD2 ans DS i never gained much wait at all (7-8kg) so you never really could tell
I was absolutely ALL front (and NOT sides) ... I carried high almost to the end ... and i only put on 8.5kilo's ... and i had a GIRL :cheer:
My sister carried heavily with both her pregnancies (put on approx 20kgs each time) and both were boys.
On the flipside, a close friend had very neat, basketball type bumps with both her pregnancies and you could hardly tell she was pregnant from behind and both were girls.
I don't believe in any of the myths now and I'm quick to tell people that when they tell me 'oh you're definitely having a.....' based on my size, shape, skin condition, cravings, etc. They just make me laugh!
FTM - With Niki, I got a bump belly very early on it was very forward and high sitting. I did also put weight on in other places but I was more out front and I had a girl. Everyone who saw me guessed it was a girl.
This time I am not as big and seem to be spreading out more than forward - will let you know what I am having when I find out. :D
i was all infront ang high and it was a GIRL
i also popped very early with DD
same as this one really hope this si a girl lol
With the boys i was really wide in the tummy but with abbie i was all out the front. I craved different things, and in general it was a totally different pregnancy. I don't believe in all those myths but i have to say the ring test did get it right everytime LOL

I had the big tummy for my boys and the big tummy and big everything else too for my girl my last boy I actually lost 10 so made up for girls of this time I'm already put on 3-5kg do hoping for a girl
Myth.I'm much further out this time then I was with ds, no weight on bum or thighs as yet.
I reckon the chinese baby chart is pretty spot on for gender prediction generally.
yeah i did the ring test last night, and DP held it over my tummy, and the ring seemed to do very slight circles, but it was really hard to tell, as the actual ring itself was twirling around.
It sorta leant towards a girl DP reakons, however the chinese calender indicates ill have a boy...
hmm, only time will tell i guess :)
Hun you don't happen to have a crystal pendulum do you? I forgot about it till just now, but they are very accurate for gender prediction (as well as a whole lot of other things- i really should get mine out and have a play, it's been a while...)
um...nope, i dont have a crystal pendulum...
Hi
Whats the chinese baby chart or calender I haven't heard of that before? Does it work if baby is IVF baby rather than naturally concieved?
M
I have 3 boys and i carried the weight EVERYWHERE !!
So yes, i dont think theres any fact in it.
I was only just told about the chinese calendar, its actually GREAT!!!:
Go to google, and type in chinese pregnancy calendar. and click on one of the links.
Its a big chart, and you just look for the month you concieved and your age at conception, and it will tell you if its a boy or girls your having.
mine said boy....so im hoping it right, lol, as ive bought lots of blue clothes :P
Also, im not too sure if it works for IVF babies.
might just have to have a read on the site.
Meadsie - google chinese gender prediction. It goes by your chinese age at and lunar month of conception. For example My actual age is 32(33 this year) but chinese age had me at 34. Month of conception for me was Feb but lunar month 1 (jan). It has predicted Boy for me.
There are a few sites that have this but there is a good one that works out time zone differences as well as your chinese age and lunar month of conception.
Also as it goes by month of conception I see no reason why it wouldn't work for IVF as you would have a month of conception.

I carried high and gained weight everywhere (25kg+ thanks to fluid retention) and had a boy. The ring test was right, but chinese calendar was wrong. The whole time I had a 'gut feeling' he was a boy.
I poked right out in front and carried low with my 2nd son, but carried right out front and high with my first son.
With my DD I carried all over my body and I swear my butt was as big as my belly. I am very much the same way this time around but have no idea what I am having. I will let you know in 15.5 weeks :)
ohh, i hope the gut feelings are right, ive got this feeling its a boy, however DP thinks otherwise lol.:
I have purchased heeaps of blue and green outfits (jumpsuits etc)..not intentionally, i was trying to stick to nutrel colours, ie yellow, whites and greens, but i was given a few blue jump suits, then i started liking the blue, and just seemed to go from there.
Surely its okay to put a girl in blue anyway, it just seems a little weird to have a boy in pink lol :):dance:
