I've had the acne really bad and terrible skin, which is a sign of girl (a little girl will steal their mother's beauty away), and I'm having a girl :) My fiance has also gained a chunk of weight, which I think means a girl too.

The cabbage test is you take half a cabbage put in boiling water let simmer for 10 minutes then take out the cabbage water, it will be purple like...then you take your urine and cabbage water same amounts and mix them together if it stays a dark purple with no change it means Girl, if it turns pink to a magenta it's a Boy

@abilene2485, I have been more active with this one than with my daughter

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was not showing and she didn't move much and craved egg rolls all the time.  With my son, I craved oreos and cheese whiz together and he was very active.  I knew that I was having a boy way before the first ultrasound.  I was more active with my daughter but not with my son.

JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT I have done a few old wives tales.

Cabbage Water Test -- GIRL
Chinese Gender Chart -- BOY
String with washer test -- BOY
Heartrate  -- BOY
Acne (no acne) -- BOY
Cravings (Salty--boy)(sweet--girl) -- BOTH
Skin Under Eye - BOY
Time of Conception (Whoever is more aggressive during the time of conception, the baby will be the opposite sex) -- BOY
Mom's beauty -- GIRL
Dream of baby's gender (opposites) -- GIRL
Clumsy or Graceful -- GIRL
Side you most lay on (left-boy, right-girl) -- BOY
Dad's weight gain (gains-girl, loses or no change-boy) -- BOY
Insticts -- BOY
Morning Sickness or Nausea -- GIRL
Areolae -- GIRL
Protein (craving meat or cheese) -- BOY
Feet (colder-boy, same-girl) -- GIRL
Headaches -- BOY

I have had a harder time this pregnancy than with my daughter

I denied it at the time because we wanted a boy, but the Chinese gender prediction chart was right again for another girl. The hair line thing was right, the vein in the eye thing said girl, too.
