wives tale says if it is low soo it is a girl as far as i know but i don't believe them, u/s is not 100% sure and sometimes they tell you wrong, how can i believe wives tale?

Hmm... wonder what it mean when you carry a baby in your hips...   Just when I thought they couldn't get any bigger.  Too bad they don't make maternity pants with the stretchy panels in the sides :)

I have carried very different with all three....I think it has more to do w/stretched muscles, and how many previous pregnancies you have had over anything else.  But NO, to answer your question, how high or low you carry is not an indication of sex whatsoever.

by taysmommy, Sep 08, 2007 03:17PM
meriram- i agree, normally (well i dont know after this baby) im not very hippy, but when im pregnant *poof* the love handles appear, the need to have maternity pants, and extra hippy maternity pants

i would swear that i was carring twins, one on the right hip, one on the left (well i say hip, it goes from my hip to my back..yuk! gotta love the back fat)

babygirl- feel good your carring low, although i dont know how it is when you carry high, but i had heartburn so bad with my first, and i couldnt breath very well, i cant imagine how bad it would be if the baby were up higher, you do have to pee alot when there low, but id much rather pee 30 times a day then have constant heartburn,

my best friend carried very high, and her baby was breach, she had heartburn so bad she had to sit up and sleep the last two months, thank god for small favors!

Perty- pass the booty this way! mine disappears when im pregnant....and finds other places to land .(legs, hips and apperently some has gone to my feet) ..too bad it doesnt go to the boobs

I carried low, very low, had a girl.  It doesn't mean anything though.  Carrying low was good for me because the baby was closer to the birth canal when I started pushing.  Maybe it could be less work for you when labor comes?
