Symptoms of Having a Girl? :)

Hi ladies, to those ladies who are having a girl- what kind of symptoms did you notice? Did you breakout more than usually, or did your skin actually become better? Did you vomit a lot or not? Any other symptoms? I'm just wondering if there are any patterns and if maybe some of the old wives gender predictions have some truth in it... :)

Thanks for sharing!

Im having our daughter may 15 via c section or sooner. My first child was a boy, I knew at 8 weeks we were having a girl because of how different things were. With my son his heart beat was low, my daughters is high. With my son I carried low, now I'm carrying high. I got sick alot with my son and my sick looked amazing. With my daughter my sick is ughhhh and I haven't got sick alot. I like more fresh foods this time around. Everyone is different but the wise tales worked for both mine. Also the Chinese birth calendar was right for me:)

Its hard to tell. Everyone is different.

I had pretty much the same symptoms my mon had when she had girls. Im one of 6brothers and sisters. I was nauseated thru the entire pregnancy. I was moody and i think depressed at times. I craved sweets like crazy the last two months.

This is my 1st and a girl. I got minor sickness at first, my books were really tender and swollen. I'm now 29 weeks and getting spotty but other than that I'm pretty normal. No cravings so far either.

I pretty much have signs of both genders. Im more emotional and got sick in the beginning hinting a girl but im carrying pretty low and her heart rate has been mid to high 130's which I was told is typically boy. But we have had multiple confirmations that we are indeed having a girl. In 6-8 weeks now.... SO EXCITED!

I have two girls. A five year old & a soon to be new born & with both of my girls I never broke out at all. I did have extreme weight gain, horrible vomiting & nausea also both my daughters did not like "orange juice" Lol

No way to know by the signs but with both my girls I had all the same things craved sweet stuff, I carried high, my hair got shinier silkier and fuller, my skin cleared up. With this one it's a boy my hair got duller and broke up really bad, my skin broke out, I'm carrying low, and I've craved a lot of meats beans and dairy products. With girls meat made me sick. But I don't believe any of those things actually had anything to do with baby's srx.

I had different symptoms with my son than I do with my daughter to be. But I agree, I don't think it really means anything. But just in case I'll tell you some of mine :) I had nausea this time and with my son I didn't. Very moody in the beginning, I would say I was actually really really depressed and disoriented for a few weeks. Craving more salty food than sweet and with my son I only wanted sugar. Gained less weight so far. Carrying high and with my son I was very low the whole time. My hair is thinner and flatter and eyelashes and eyebrows are sparse and with my son my hair was thicker and hair grew more all over. With both I've had heartburn and low blood pressure.
