sweet or salty?

Hey everyone. So I've been told that if a woman is carrying a girl, that she will crave sweet things and for a boy salty things. I've been cracing sweets real bad and not knowing what I'm having, but my friend is having a boy and craves salty things. Anyway, does this hold true for anyone else? Please let me know because I really want a girl. :D

Not true for me, I craved salty, savoury foods with my last pregnancy (Daughter) and i'm craving the same now (not sure of the gender, will update when I find out in 5 weeks.) I don't think there's any truth on it, Think about it, the chance of it being true is 50/50. lol.

I crave both salty and sweet things with both of my pregnancies.First was a girl and this one are twin boys so I think it just depends on the person.

Im 37+3 with my first and going with the surprise and waiting to find out. It's hard to not find out but fun to play the old wives tales things. I have been craving a little of both. Started out with ham and pretzels but now Im on a pineapple strawberry and ice cream kick. Could just be the season with the heat. I also tried the baking soda test. You put 1Tbsp baking soda in a cup and add your urine. If it fizzes you are having a boy and if it does nothing you are having a girl. Both of these tell me I am having a boy!!!
