I heard if ur carrying low it's a boy. And if u have that dark line from ur belly button down, then it's a boy. Those are the only ones I can think of as of now.

It feels like its high though cause i've read that at my stage my uterus should be felt just above the pelvic bone,
but I can feel it just under my belly button

I'd say it's hard to tell right now. Give it a few more weeks and u'll see if ur carrying high or not. Just curious, how old are u? Is this ur first?

I don't know guys....
All I could eat was oranges and citrus fruit this pregnancy- and it's a girl !!!

Last time, I was starving for things like chips and gravy, and curry and stuff- and it was a girl that time too !!!!

I carried low last time- all out in front- this time i'm neither high or low but spreading out to the sides way more !!!
(last time I gained at least 30 kilograms (probably a zillion pounds, I have no idea of the conversion) this time only 6 so far)

this pregnancy is compltetely different to my first- I had morning sicknesss this time, my boobs are enormous this time, I fancy different foods, i'm getting way more kicks, and in completely different places. This baby lies differently-everything is different, but they tell me it's 99% positive there's a little girl in there again.
So have fun with the old wives tales, but don't take them too seriously!!!!!

Well my boyfriends, best friends girlfriend said that when she was pregnant with her 2 sons all she craved was meat!!!!!

I like my cravings because I crave heaps of fruit and vegetables.

Last week it was strawberries, creamed corn and baby carrots.
