Boy or girl? Signs before the ultrasound.

Of corse we all want healthy bubs but I want to know is there any signs before going for an ultrasound that your having a boy or girl? Is all this ovulation and when to have sex all a myth? I want a healthy bub but I do like the bigger brother figure for my first.

Yeah those wive tales aren't true bc I carried high with a boy and my face got chunky and they say if you carry high it's a girl and you usually get wide with a girl and I did the ring test and it came a girl and I had a baby boy

I Found out I was having a girl at 15 weeks via  "fancy" ultrasound at Perinatolgist. With my son we didn't see anything for sure until 21 weeks. I've heard some people say you can tell as early as 13 weeks however your ultrasound tech must be super amazing.
With my daughter I had bad acne, was very moody,  and hyperemesis- even water made me puke. With my son my hormones were porn star level, my skin and hair were beautiful and no vomiting. Complete night and day pregnancies!! I think all that stuff they say is just wives tales though. Its hard to wait to find out but just think back in the day wed have to wait an entire pregnancy to know...now just a few months!! Good luck!

They say that if you carry low it's a boy and if you carry high it's a girl. Also if all your weight is on the front and you can't tell from behind your pregnant it mea s boy.  And if it's a girl you gain weight all over
