Old Wifes tales

[adele88]

So whats all the old wifes tales about the sex of your baby? anytime i show someone my scan they say girl right away how can people tell these things lol?

 

[MrsR]

I have no idea but my scan picture looks pretty much EXACTLY the same as yours! x Noones said anything to me about sex of baby though, my in laws aren't the least but interested and my family were just super excited!! x

Helen, I don't think I have seen you scan pic? have you got a link to where it was posted?

Adele, I guessed girl for you, just a hunch based on baby shape , head shape, etc, from having scans with my others! mind you a 50:50 chance. I have no idea about this nub thing!!

What do you two think you are having?

Old Wifes Tales - Normally you can tell from looking at the pregnant lady's bump shape, better if she is wearing tight clothes and can be decieving if very tall , short or round mum before pregnancy. Better to guess once the mum is at least half way onwards for better guess.

BABY BOY - Bump all out front and low, like a non pregnant lady has tripped over and fallen onto a bowling ball and when she gets up it's stuck on the front still! (you can't tell if they are prnegnant from the back they look normal).

BABY GIRL - Bump all round her middle , much higher bumps, (where guessing gets tricky with tall or short ladys), and the lady will have put on some love handles or weigh all round the sides. (you can therfore tell from the back that she is pregnant).

Some swear that the reverse happens for them, so once you have had one, you can ususally tell the difference and how you carry, to guess what you next one is.

With scans I think if you look in the area of their privates if it looks like a hamburger then its a girl and if it looks like a sausage its a boy !!!! lol Thats what I was told anyway. On your scan I mean.

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

my two pregnancies were completely different, i carried differently and everything, but had 2 girls! only thing that was the same was i craved milk with both of them, which i usually cant stand!!

Can't figure it out meself! Lots of old wives tale including the heart beat theory which apparatanly has been proved to be untrue. My pregnancies all been different although my money is on a boy for myself because of the morning sickness which i didn't have with the girls - but i convinced it was a boy last time and it was a girlie!

 

[adele88]

right i see i always know they were alot of crap but people told me there was some truth in them aswell lol i think im having a boy because wat a fortune teller told my fiance before he even met me and everything else she told him has came true so i will go with that. But my decision i want a girl lol i will find out soon enough anyway

 

[*Hope*]

everyone inc my midwife said i looked to be carrying a girl. and the nub theory said girl too.

then i got told it is a girl

 

[adele88]

well i just read all about the nub theory there never read it before and going by that looks as though im having a boy but everyone else reckons girl lol

 

[*Hope*]

i think the nub theories quite accurate if done on a 12 - 13 week scan pic only,
but ask the experets on ingender site. i didnt trust my own judgement

i am very tall and carried the same with both my boy and girl like jj mum said i looked like i had a blowing ball up my top the bump was the same but i did put more weight on my love handles with my girl. I just had a feeling with both of mine, with my first the midwife got blue name tags and blue blankets out before he was even born coz we were all so sure it was a boy and i hadnt found out and he was. With my little girl i felt like i was having agirl from day one but cos i wanted one sooooo much i didnt want to get my hopes up we did find out with her tho and to say i was exicted at the 20 wk scan was an understaintment when they told me. This time we are not finding out so ive been doing loads of guessing and havent really got a feeling yet prob after 20 wk scan my mum went to a fortune teller last wk and she said a boy so i will have to wait and see.
