can you tell if you're having a boy or girl?

are there any indications as far as having a boy or a girl?  I've heard this from somewhere, but I don't know if it's true or not... that if you look pretty while pregnant then you are having a girl?

Any comments?

ALSO. I am super tired all the time now..... I come home and take a nap everyday!  If I don't get to take a nap, I fall asleep around 8pm!!!!! Which I didn't have this problem when I was pregnant with my son!!!

I'm about 7 wks pregnant with baby #2.  I want to know what we are having sooooo bad. I would love a little girl, although I think my husband wants another boy.....either way I dont care, as long as he/she is healthy!!!!!!

When I was pregnant with our son I had NO food cravings, NO heart burn ( and he came out with a head full of hair) NO nausea or vomiting.  I gained 55lbs with him.  I was all belly until the last 2 months and then it was all over!!!!! :(. I retained A LOT of water the last 2.5 months ( I had kankels) talk about NO FUN!!!!!

With this pregnancy so far I have craved a few things, my poor face has broke out like (connect the dots) and my breast are super sore.  

I know you can't tell until the baby is born what you are having, but can anyone give me some insight?????  MAYBE IT'S A GIRL?????  :D

I believe the only way to really tell is an ultrasound. With my son I gained weight like crazy and was a healthy eater. With my daughter I ate as I wanted and stayed small. I guess it depends on your body.

I think you are having a BOY!!! The only old wive tale that was correct on me was the needle and thread....I had a boy and I gained all over....I ate everything in site and had morning sickness throughout the day "no vomitting" just felt like i would all day ...horrible...This time around, Im six weeks and still feel like I could throw up at times, but not as bad, My BACK KILLS ME, and Im constantly exhausted...I hope Im having a girl....my appitite had literally gone away around 4 weeks and now slowly coming back....SOOOO hope for girl...Baby Dust to you

I'm on my 4th pregnancy and I have three boy. I was really hoping for a girl. This time around I was very very sick. I was not sick with any of my others. I'm also breaking out a lot. Well I went to my u/s and they said boy.. I was very shocked. I was so sure this time I was having a girl and not because I want one really bad but because this pregnancy has been so different. The whole heart burn this isn't true for me. My last son had a head of hair and I had no heart burn.. So im not sure what to believe. I guess i just have to pray that they are wrong. I really wanted to girl after three boys but if I do get a boy i will be happy
