Are They Just Wives Tales?

Hey everyone, ever since I got pregnant
the begining of july people have been
giving me their opinion on how to tell if
its a boy or girl(i get to find out in
like 4-6 weeks yay). I know these are
probably just wives tales but I was just
wondering if anyone had heard of them or
how true they are.
My grandmaw told me that if your nipples
get a lot darker then its a boy and if
they stay realy light then its a girl
i also had a friend tell me that if the
babys heartbeat stayed at over like 155
bpm then it would be a girl and if the
heartbeat was between 120-155 it was a
boy?
Just wondering

Its all a bunch of bs.
If it has a penis its a boy if it has a
vagina its a girl. Period.

I dunno?! I read somewhere that if your
linea nigra (the dark line thats
horizontal from your pubic area to your
belly button) stays between the belly
button and the pubic area that its a girl
and if it runs all the way up and down
(from pubic area to just below the
sternum) its a boy! And its right for
me..I'm having a girl. Atleast thats what
my ultrasound shows everytime I go. Lol
but most of the others i've read about are
wrong.

Oh yeah! I forgot I done that one also
and it was right! I'm not sure of the
nipple thing, but I do know they are very
very sore and i'm almost in week 30.

Every old wive's tale has a 50% chance of
being right.
You could flip a coin and have the same
shot.

all are tales...How can 120-155 solely be
a boy when the "normal rates" are between
120-160!!!! Then all girls must have
abnormal heart rates...

I did the ring test, the scissor and knife
test, and the walking test and they all
said boy. My dark line runs from the top
of my stomach to the top of my vagina.
My nipples have quadrupled in size and are
purple/black. All of those things would
say boy, but i'm definetly having a girl.
Her heartbeat was 172 at first then it
went down as low as 135 at one visit and
it's back up to 155 as of yesterday. The
heartbeat doesn't mean anything. My
sister-in-law had a low for her daughter
and a high for her son. The only way you
can tell by the heartbeat is during labor
and delivery.
