old wives tales. ..

[jannahmre06]

So I'm due March 9th! Almost there,  and we aren't finding out the sex!  This is my first baby, and i keep looking at the old wives tales to see if they are accurate. I'm carrying high, and crave sweets more than salt, have bad acne as well. Signs point to a girl and 99% of people think girl, but i keep thinking boy now for some reason lol. Do you guys believe in those old wives tales and are they accurate? ! Chinese chart said girl too!  

[jannahmre06]

Ha ha so you were all over with the old wives tales:) it's fun not knowing but hard at same time!  What are your symptoms for this pregnancy!?

[anniejo89]

Carried high with both, bad acne with both,   terrible morning Sickness with one,  craved salty with one and sweet with the other,  both boys so far.  We didn't find out either!

Oh how fun! :) congrats on about to have a baby boy!  It's really hard not knowing what having but fun to see how true old wives tales really are for people! :)

[scribblechick16]

Everything pointed to a boy the first time and I had a girl. This time it's a really good mix between the two according to the wives tales, and it's a boy :-)

Interesting on your food cravings and having a girl, but i think the food cravings least accurate in predicting a baby's gender!  Congrats on your girl! :)

Ok so i dreamed of having a girl and Chinese chart said girl i have bad acne still have morning sickness and im still little to be 25 weeks i don't crave sweet stuff just spicy food i am having a girl

[jannahmre06]

Wow that's crazy that all were true for you and congrats on your little girl:) the only thing I didn't have was morning sickness!  Time will tell but it is fun to see what people have to say:) i have also dreamt having a girl tons of times, even before found out what pregnant!

I'm pregnant with a little girl & before I knew the gender I looked at wives tales too, all true!! For me atleast, I have acne, craving sweet things and had a lot of morning sickness all signs pointed to my girl & the Chinese chart also said girl for me! Id say you're having a girl but who knows!!

[jannahmre06]

Thank you ladies for sharing your symptoms and your input! :) always good to hear what other people think/are experiencing! Will just have to wait and see come March what signs were right!  Wishing you all a great holiday and a smooth pregnancy/delivery!

Everyone said I was having a boy I'm 22 weeks low bump and ok only not realy showing, craving sweet things never liked icecream but now I love it and i never had spots now my face and top of my chest is covered in spots and also no morning sickness so was mixed feelings when reading old wife's tales then found out and I'm having a girl

[hersheyma]

Nope....dont believe

[Carryingababygirl]

I am having a girl and everyone told me boy even an old wise tale about a neck mass over your belly told me I was having a boy but I don't believe them no1 can really know my friend is having a girl too she is hardly showing at all and I am really showing . I crave potato salid and candy she wants sault so wise tales are just tales not true or helpful to knowing the sex of the baby

[Aiyanas_mommie]

Old wives tales are always a 50/50 chance ...   everyone thought I was having a boy Because how low I am carrying and barley showing at 22 weeks but my ultrasound proved I'm clearly having a bbygirl . My Chinese calendar said a girl though !

[colleen2014]

I don't believe in them at all lol For both of my pregnancies all wives tales pointed to girls. I craved sweets, had bad acne, baby heart beat was always above 140 BPM, carried in sides,hips and butt. Definitely had a boy each time!

[nicjac89]

All the old wives tales and Chinese calendars said i was having a girl but, we're having a boy! I have heartburn everyday, I'm carrying low and i crave sweets and spicy foods! He's always had a fast heartbeat too, which is another wives tale for a girl. Just 50/50 chance. Ftm due March 9th 2015.

[jannahmre06]

Interesting! :) that's why i think might be having a boy bc i have heard from some people you usually have opposite of what you think!  i don't care what we have just was curious if people thought old wives tales are true or fairly accurate at least!

[danielle_1994]

Old wives tales pointed to a boy! Chinese calendar said boy & I'm having a girl, I'm carrying low, no visible bump, crave sweets, got a few spots nothing major, had no sickness throughout :)
