Hi!
Its mostly just a wive's tale.  There was one study in which they measured the babies' heart rates in labor, and a slower heart rate predicted a boy.  A bigger heart beats more slowly, so that is probably why--boys tend to be a bit bigger than girls.
Ultrasounds are much better predictors!

no need to mind baby's gender, just care about the baby, he is yours.And care about his growth is most important, try [url=http://www.dvduz.com/Baby-Einstein-26-dvd-set-Box-set-Boxset-p-417.html]Baby Einstein dvd[/url] to help u.
