Gender Myths ?!?!?!

How many of you have a girl? During your pregnancy did you break out bad, crave sweets, had horribke morning sickness, and breasts grow much larger? I feel like I'm having a girl but I don't want to disappoint myself. I already have an amazing little boy and having a little girl would complete our little family. This pregnancy feels totally different from my son. Also how accurate was the Chinese calender for any of you? I know there old wives tales but was just curious. I heard all besides the calender being linked to extra hormones from it being a girl.

My breasts grew bigger with my son. Stayed the same with my daughter. I was sick as hell with both but with my daughter my face is breaking out continuously. With my son my skin was beautiful. With my son my hair was beautiful, now with my daughter it's falling out

I'm having a girl.   I don't normally crave sweets.  My breast has gotten bigger with each of my pregnancies.  I don't think there is a way of telling what you're having until you have your u/s

I'm having a girl and my face is broken out, my hair is a different texture, my boobs didn't grow a lot, I crave fruit, and the calendar, ring test, baking soda test were all wrong for me. I swore I was having a boy and went in and nope, it was a girl!

I don't believe in the old wives tales. I am having a girl and I had zero morning sickness, zero pimples..my skin has looked so amazing and I craved salty foods. The only sweet I craved was ice cream or cake. Mostly salty foods though. What I did find interesting though was all my dreams about babies were of baby girls and that was correct.

I'm having a girl but I didn't have much morning sickness, broke out a lot and no sweet cravings.

This pregnancy is totally different from my first all the way down to the fact that acne attacked my face but my face actually cleared up with my first. And they're both boys. All pregnancies can be different nothing is a sign of gender.

All wives tales are just that. You will find people who it's true and false for. Don't count on any of them being true, just wait until you find out from a Dr. I'm having a girl and have zero symptoms and I'm 26w.

Me to! I can't help looking up all the little girl clothes and stuff. With my son I was never nauseus, my chest didn't grow till birth, I ate steak almost everyday and hated sweets, and didn't have a single pimple. This time I don't throw up but I never throw up. I have just gone weeks of nausea from morning to night and wake up from it at night. Wish I could throw up! It's finally fading a bit now that  11 weeks but did not have this with my son.  My face looks horrific and I've already gone up at least one bra size. My chinese calender say girl to but I know that's not reliable. lol

I'm having a little girl my first three month I was sick BAD !!!! Couldn't eat NOTHING !!!! After I got over the sickness I've began to crave a lot of lemon nothing sweet for me more bitter things pickles things like that, my boobs hurt also really bad the first few month but the tenderness is over! I already have a 7 year old girl and this pregnancy was totally opposite I thought it would be a boy but they say every pregnancy is different, good luck hope you get your little girl :)

I'm having a girl and the only thing that was correct with the myths was the really bad morning sickness! Even the doctor asked me if I was having a boy after hearing the heartbeat. And the Chinese calendar was wrong for me as well...said I was having a boy.
