I was told if u are "all belly" it's a boy and if ur hips widen it's a girl. Which has been true for my 3 pregnancies. Everyone keeps saying "ur having a boy right" when they see my belly.

Every gender prediction thing I've tried was always wrong for me. Heart rate and how you carry your baby, etc are all myth.

I agree about the gender myths are all myths. Every myth the heart rate, how you are carrying, morning sickness, moods, what you are craving all to me it's a boy. I'm having a girl.

This is so funny.. every person is so different.. some seem legit because you might just fit the bill, but I'm pregnant with my 2nd son, and if I wouldn't have seen his little thingy, I would have sworn it was a girl because my pregnancies have been so different.. they say fruity cravings-boy, chocolate- girl.. carrying high-girl, low-boy.. until you drop, lol then your baby sits in your lap no matter what..

I tried all the old wives tales and the Chinese Calendar at 18 weeks. All pointed to a girl and according to our 20 week ultrasound, it's a girl!

According to all the "myths" I'm having a girl. At my 20 week ultrasound they told me in having a boy. I see 6 different doctors through my office and they all say is a girl (even after looking at my ultrasounds and other signs). I'm 34 weeks today (with my first) and I've come to the conclusion that there is no true way to tell just hope they are happy and healthy and start shopping for neutral items!

Well I'm having a girl and my belly never stuck out too much, I just widened all over, esp in the hips. So that one is true.

I have been craving sweets like never before. Also dairy. Kind of lost my taste for salty and sour which I used to love. Also craving spinach.

Had some morning sickness, not too bad, average.

Hair and skin are more awesome than ever.

Have carried low pretty much the entire pregnancy. (So that one is false.)

Have not gotten clumsier, but I was already clumsy. Have gotten a little more absentminded though.

Have to sleep on left side. Right side is uncomfortable.
