How accurate is this...myth or fact???

Alot of people guess the gender of the baby by the things they eat? Is this accurate or is it just a myth? I've been craving spicy things and alot of people say it's a boy with a lot of hair...lol...but then I ran across one of my co-workers who craved spicy things and had two girls...I've also heard that getting alot of morning sickness means you're having a girl...can anybody comment on this??

Everyone thought my son was def a girl. The heart beat was extremely high, I was carrying high, I ate all the right foods, etc.... Nope.... my little "Abigail" turned out to be ''Carter''. :) Some tests are fun to try though. I did the drano test, and it was actually right! haha

My sister was sick her whole pregnancy and had a boy and how you carry the baby is just based on your body type. I'm having a girl and I only have a round bump like I swallowed a basketball or something. As for cravings I just wanted mac and cheese and green beans. They're just myths all of them even the one about heartbeats and the ring swinging in a circle or back and forth. Its fun to try and guess with them but they don't accurately tell what you are having. Sad I know but you could always do that blood test thing where they can tell what you are having at 6 weeks.

I have also heard if your bump is more rounded you are having a boy, but if sticking out more than rounded it's a girl.  I know some people where this has happened, although i think it depends on the person
