myth?

All my family always told me that wheb your pregnant with girls you get wider than with boys. My hips and butt have grown soooo much and the weird thing is I eat a lot healthier and actually exercise at least 5 days a week with this pregnancy neither of which I did with my son yet my lower half has a mind of it's own. Anyone else pregnant with a girl and butt and hip/thigh area gotten bigger?

I don't believe that cause my friend has gotten wider and **** since she's gotten pregnant and she's having a boy as for me I haven't gotten wider since I've gotten pregnant and I'm having a girl

My first was a boy and Im now 33weeks with a girl. Both my pregnancies were the same. I got huge width wise. My hips and butt are huge. My belly is quite tiny though. These Damn hips make it impossible to wear my jeans even with a belly band.

It's all wives tales. Just depends on you and baby really. He/she is going to lay how they want and my your belly look how they want.

I think the same thing. I think it could have something to do with sharing hormones
