by CaraLuck, Mar 29, 2007 12:00AM
Hey guys! 16 weeks today! ahhh it feels great to be pregnant and feeling good! Anyways, I am so excited to find out the sex of our baby but I HAVE to wait until my next US for 20 weeks :( so far away...i know the old wives tales aren't 100% accurate, but what do you guys think?....

NO MORNING SICKNESS EVER
SKIN IS CLEAR AND SOFT
TERRIBLE HEARTBURN
CARRYING LOW
CRAVING SPICY AND SALTY STUFF(EXPLAINS THE HEARTBURN HAHA)
HAIR IS SHINY AND THICK

Like I said, I know that it is not 100% accurate, but take some guesses and I will post the REAL answer when I find out!!!! yayyyy!!!

You should try and look up the chinese birth chart online. It is kind of scary- but everyone I have ever done it for was right! Good luck!!!  Here is a link for you! Try it just for the fun of it.

Well, I had some morning sickness, terrible acne and I gave birth to a girl, but I also had very bad heartburn and carried extremely LOW during my whole pregnancy...so based on what you have posted, there is no way to tell...I was told if the heartbeat was fast, it was a girl..my daughters heartbeat was around 160-170 early on..Based on how good you are feeling and lack or morning sickness..My GUESS would be boy..Can't wait to see if I'm right..Good luck.

well..i'm not sure that any of your descriptives mean anything....but it's fun to guess!  i'm 33 weeks and i'm carrying low...i'm having a boy...so who knows.  Let us know after your 20 week ultrasound!  It's so exciting, i think.

I had heart burn w/my boy only.
Morning sickness w/my boy only.
Carried low w/second pregnancy, boy.
Shiny/thick hair w/all 4 pregnancies.

Well, 4weeks will be here before you know it!  Good luck!

from what i've read about old wive's tales, your symptoms are a mix.
try http://www.babygenderprediction.com/old-wives-tales/index.phtml

said i was 80% likely to have a girl... and i'm having a girl. chinese gender predictor also said girl.

yeah I love the Cinease lunar calander, my best friend got me into it, and it was right for me as well, you just need all the right dates...its fun to try! ~bops

They say when you carry low, you are having a boy.  I carried high with all my girls and I carried low with my one boy.

The heartburn is a dead giveaway for your baby having lots of hair.  I had no symptoms with any of my pregnancies (other than fatigue) they were all girls.  I had horrible heartburn with my last pregnancy and I had a boy... lo and behold he was the only one to come out with a headful of hair.

Well the heartburn/hair thing was not true for me...I had awful heartburn till the day I gave birth and my baby girl was BALD...In fact, she is 20 months now and is just FINALLY starting to have some hair come in..It looks like we have given her a mullet haircut or something, LOL..It will all even out eventually, poor girl:0...Congrats Caraluck and take care of yourself and the growing whatever-it-is baby..;)

Well, I have had four girls and I am pregnant with baby #5-A BOY!! So let me tell you...when I got pregnant this time around, I thought for sure I was going to miscarry because I had no morning sickness at all which was foreign to me because I had it bad with all of my girls. I have heartburn, but I had it with my girls, too. My belly does seem a bit lower, but I can't really remember what it was like before-it was 8 years ago. Before I knew I was having a boy I told the doc that I was worried because of no morning sickness and she said she bets it's a boy because some studies have shown women have less morning sickness with boys. So anyhow, based on that, I would say boy. The chinese calendar thing is just 50/50. It was wrong for me, but you can always find another one that's right. Good luck!!
