Hi Everybody, I have heard that there are some old wifes methods of guessing wether it is a boy or girl during the pregnancy... Some say that if the pregnant woman gets not so pretty than this is a girl as in ... that girl is taking away some beauty from the mother. Sound silly I know. Other was that the woman gets marsk on the face.. than this is a girl. other one was that if the line on the belly is from pubic bone to the belly than is a boy if beyond than it is girl. Do you know if any of this is true and maby you have heard of different one? Back to top Babette Joined: 30 Jan 2005 Posts: 21 Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2005 11:07 pm    Post subject: Hungry? Might be having a boy! oh, this is cute.. I just found this while browsing the net: "Why are newborn boys are weightier than their female counterparts? That's been a big question for a long time. Recently, researchers discovered that women who were carrying a boy ate about 10 percent more calories than women carrying a girl. Find out more here!

I could have eaten a whole cow during my 2nd trimester. My husband would sit there amazed when we went to a chinese buffet and he was stuufed and I was still going for at least another hour!

I have been such a huge pig! And I'm expecting a girl! I'd hate to see how I eat if I get prego with a boy! If that is true anyway. About the old wives tales: I've heard TONS of them. Don't rely on them, they are basically hit or miss. They are right about 50% of the time lol!

According to the Chinese gender predicter, it's a girl. According my ultrasound, there's no doubt about it. It's a boy.

You can do a search and find hundreds of them. I ate tons with my girl-1st-and gained all over and with my 2nd-boy-I didn't eat much more than my usual and gained just in my belly. http://www.pregnancy-info.net/wives_tales_and_myths.html http://www.allab http://www.childbirth.org/articles/boyorgirl.htmloutmoms.com/wivestales.htm Back to top Hannah's Mommy Joined: 07 Dec 2004 Posts: 601 Location: Toronto Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2005 12:30 am    Post subject: Yea I've gained all over too!
