Old wives tales. Boys vs Girls

This is my first child, I'm 19 weeks and don't know what it is yet. I think it's a girl but some others thinks it's a bit because I had/ have no nothing sickness only nausea. Does anyone have any stories involving old wives tales that proved that they were only tales lol. I find them to be very entertaining but still fun

The way you carry can tell the gender such as high for girl low for boy. I carried high with my son and now low with my girl. Also that wheb you have a girl your daughter steals your beauty my skin and hair have been amazing and I'm glowing! These were both super wrong! I knew I was having a girl though since my pregnancy symptoms were totally different than with my boy (:

Congrats!! That's what I've heard as well but my best friend had a baby last year and she thought she was carrying a girl because she was horribly sick all the time, turned out to be a healthy baby boy. The tales are definitely got fun because everyone is different, but it's pretty cool to see how some seem to be true for some :)

Well for be the theory that girl bug you more (horrible morning sickness) was 100% true lol but I'm carrying very low and they say that's for boys I think. Also the sugar thing, I cannot get enough sweets and fruits haha and she is definitely a girl.
