Boy or girl

Im 15 Weeks. Always thought I wouldnt find out the sex but we are pretty excited to find out now. Only a few more Weeks to wait. Ive thought boy since day one. And we are kinda hoping for a boy. But either we will be happy! We have done a heap of those gender myths and they all seem to be coming up boy. My partner also keeps referring baby to `him` and we are starting to think all these things are signs. Lol. Just wanted to hear some stories about finding out the sex for your babies.

Before I found out I was pregnant with my first I was like obsessed in writing this girls name that I loved. Then I found out I was pregnant the thought of this name still stuck on my head o never once looked at boy names. Went into the ultrasound and turns out I've been right since before finding out I was pregnant I was having a girl! This one however I had no clue I'm 21 weeks and my pregnancy has been exactly like my first so far so that made me think maybe I'm having another girl, but wasn't as sure as I was with my first. Turns out I'm having another girl! I'm carrying low as well as I did with my first but I didn't think it had to do with gender just me having a small torso lol. I love guessing though its fun.

Carrying high or low doesn't matter. They are all old wives tales. I had people tell me all the time I looked like I was carrying a boy. I even had a lady argue with me about it. Both times I had girls. Both pregnancies we extremely different and I was sure my second was going to be a boy. All old wives tales and the Chinese calendar are just for fun and yes some people will swear by them but it has a 50-50 chance of being right so its going to be right for some and wrong for others. They can in no way accurately determine a babies sex. They are fun to do though!

I'm 16 weeks and super excited to find out the gender. Most people are saying they think it's a boy but I think it's a girl. Don't find out until January 20th when I'm closer to 20 weeks though. Just how my doctors office works.

Yeah as pps said carrying low is a boy, high is a girl.
Carrying all in front is usually boy, all around is usually a girl.
Although it is different for every women..
I am carrying supper low and im most definitely having a boy.

I've been swearing up and down that this baby is a boy from the beginning...no real reason, other than it just feels like it. I'm 15 weeks like you though so I hopefully find out January 12th.

If it's a girl, I'll be just as happy, though probably feel a little sheepish. :)

Nothing , I thought boy from day one and all the old wives tails pointed to boy etc.. with this one I'm 18 weeks iv been so sick vomitting, I'm carrying in my bum and hips more, and i thought it would be a girl from the start all the old wives tails pointed to girl, and well his a boy.

I guess you can only tell by ultrasound. Sometimes the old wives tells are true for you, and sometimes there not. It sure is.fun to try and guess though.
