Boy Or Girl Posted: 11-28-03 02:06am


I know there probably isn't a definet way of telling if its a boy or a girl besides ultrasound (and even thats not 100%) but I was wondering if there was anything I can do to try to predict what it is? Like certain things I can look for on myself or certain things that may be happening throughout the pregnancy? Ok thanks bye ~samantha~

I dont think there is sweetie but ya never know. There are tons of "wives tales" about that type of thing though. It all depends on how much u believe what they say. Melissa

None of these wives tales worked for me! Lol. I carry quite low and i'm having a boy. Also, I hold my friends baby boys all the time in the school nursury and they dont cry very often. And when they do, its usually cuz they need a diaper change or aere hungry. Lol. But I dunno. They may work for some people.

Girl! Posted: 12-01-03 11:26am


Well....I was always told that if it is all out front that its a boy, and the sides a girl. Well I am in the middle. Mine is out front, but also on the sides (more out front tho). I found out that mine is a girl (ultrasound tech could actually see her clitoris). I knew for the past 5 months (im 29 weeks) that is was a girl. If I went into a toy store and looked at any boy's toys, I got really lightheaded and sick. But if I looked at girl's toys (dolls, cute little girly stuff) the baby moved like crazy. If I looked at boy's clothes, I got lightheaded. If I looked at girl's clothes, she moved. That's how I knew that it was a girl. I have been telling my family, fiance and the docs for the past 5 months that it is a girl. That was my way of knowing. You can try the trick where you take your wedding/engagement ring (if u have one), tie it on a string and hold it in front of ur stomach. If it goes side to side it's a boy, spins in circles it's a girl! That worked too. It is different for people depending on how much u believe it.

Actually, carrying low would mean a boy and carrying high a girl. Those are obviously not accurate because i'm pregnant with a boy and am carrying high.

i've always heard it as, if you're having a boy you carry high, girl low. I carried high with both my boys.

Just keep in mind that these are old wives tales..... Take it for what it's worth!
I know some ppl are very superstitious, but it is what it is.

If the heartbeat is over 150 its a girl under its a boy both have been true for both my kids and all other babies I know. Also ive had a couple of older ladies come up to me and tell me what it is and they were always right.

Well I always watch those pregnancy shows and on one of them the midwife put a ring on a peice of string and she held it over the ladies belly at if it waved back and forth that meant it was a boy and if it made a circle that meant it was a girl.. It showed it was a girl and then they did the ultra sound and that proved it was a girl.. I also tried it at 16 wks and it showed me I was having a boy and I went into get my ultra sound yesterday at almost 19 wks and I found out it was a boy.. So it worked for me.. What I did was just got a plain fake silver ring and put it on some floss and did it. The midwife said its like 90% correct! Also you can try the chinese lunar calender just look it up on yahoo, that also told me I was having a boy and I believe its 80% correct..

thats a myth.

The babies heartbeat changes from month to month, at first its really high around 160 and up, then it comes to be about 150-153, which is what my babies heartbeat is now.

I'm having a boy.

I'm with dalicia thats a myth. Every sympton of mine (carry high, carry low, morning sickness , etc) pointed to boy. I had a girl. They are wives tales and never true. Course some might be right, but theres a 50/50 chance of that so obviously it will happen lots.
