The craving thing was wrong for me. I craved TONS of salty foods like chicken and Frito's. Apparently sweet means a girl. Well, I was repulsed by most sweets and it's a girl lol. Also, the heartbeat thing. Early heartbeat at 7 weeks was 178 but they aren't regulated yet. At 20 weeks the heartbeat was at 136 BPM and it's a girl. XD

What DID work for me was the red cabbage test lol

I was told that if the baby's father has more brothers than sisters most likely my baby would be a boy. Well the father of my baby has over three brothers & zero sisters & I'm having a girl

I was told the heartbeat thing, if it's high it's a girl, if it's low it's a boy. My baby boy had a very high heart beat. So myth. Uhm, if you have morning sickness all the time it's a girl, I  still have morning sickness almost everyday and I'm 35 weeks. I also heard that if you have really bad heartburn all the time, your baby has hair! But I don't know if that ones true, I hope it is(; cause that is what I think about every time I get heart burn!!
