How you're carrying - especially if you've been pregnant before...

This pregnancy, I'm carrying all out in front (ie. I stil have a waist, even at 32 weeks pregnant, and I don't look pregnant from behind).  I carried much the same way the last time, only my belly is maybe a bit higher up this time.

Last time, I had a boy....this time we still don't know what we're having.  When DH was talking to his mom last night, she weighed in and says she thinks I'm having another boy because I'm carrying the same way this time.  I don't really believe there's any science behind this or anything.....Has anyone carried the same in a subsequent pregnancy and ended up having the opposite gender to what they had the last time?

me too!!! lol. I carried the same w/tj but this time I'm further along (i gave birth to him at 35w... I'm 36w2d now and definitely bigger).

it's funny cause I can feel and show my hips more. but both are boys.

Sounds like a boy to me.  The women in my family tend to carry boys all out front and low.  The girls are higher and more in the hips.   By the time I was full term with all 3 of my boys I looked like they were just gonna drop out the bottom of my belly at any given moment.

I'm carrying very very low this time. With DS I carried him high, and this time we are having a girl :-) I feel like I should be holding her in lol!

I am carrying very low, as I did with my first son. I remember there were times when I was walking late in my first pregnancy where I felt my son was just going to drop out right on the ground, lol! I also had a lot of pain in my lower back and pelvis as I neared my due date, just something for me to look forward too. :)

i carried my first DD like people typically carry girls- wide and high. With my second, I had complete strangers tell me I was carrying a boy. I carried so differently. People even looked at me skeptically when I told them it was a girl. Even I began to doubt she was a girl.

Girls I don't know if I'm carrying high or low! can you check my profile and tell me your opinion? I'm having a girl btw :-) Also, for some reason near the end of the day (especially after a long day at work) my belly seems to just pop out and feel bigger than during the day. Is this normal?

i seem to be carrying right in the middle...but it does look like i swallowed a little ball (which im guessing as i get further along will turn into a basketball lol) i look a little high  up according to some people..for carrying a boy but he is deffinitly a boy lol...maybe he will drop some as he gets bigger...i just popped the other day so we gotta give it some time lol

I left a note on your page, but your so small by your pics right now it's tough to tell how your carrying. Wait a few weeks and take another belly pic *unless those are old pics.

I have an issue with large babies so they're just ALL OVER the place. lol
With my daughter I carried higher than I did with my son.

Hey girl! yeah i saw your note and left you one lol! Those pics were of today, in the morning. I'll take pics tomorrow after work, that's when my belly tends to pop out. I'm in my 6th month, should I be worried that I'm too small??
