Acne?

I heard that if you break out more than usual and start getting some acne while you're pregnant it means you're having a girl. Is this true? Have any of you ladies had this happen when pregnant and you actually had a girl? I know it's probably not true but I'm just curious if it actually happened for any of you?

I personally don't believe that with my daughter I had Beautiful clear skin and I had a nice glow. I actually had a pretty round belly it almost reminded me of a basketball.

I'm having a girl and since being pregnant I haven't had breakouts. I had a friend who first tough she was having a girl because she would break out but she had a boy so I don't think it's true.
