Based on how I was carrying, everyone said "girl" and they were right. In terms of the other old wives' tales, it leaned toward girl but I had strong "boy" ones. The way a woman carries in her belly is the only one I totally believe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-old-wives-tales#post-2493 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 11:27:48 +0000 MintedLife 2493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our baby was the total opposite of nearly every single old wives tale, so I was convinced it was a boy and it turned out to be a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-old-wives-tales#post-2325 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:00:41 +0000 tequiero21 2325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, don't believe them. i think it's like they have 50% chance of being right.... just as they have 50% of being wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-old-wives-tales#post-535 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 15:01:36 +0000 bakingAbug 535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, my Aunt who is psychic told us we were having a boy and described him to us. Sure enough Bug is a little gentleman but for the rest of her prediction we will have to wait and see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-old-wives-tales#post-132 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 21:04:12 +0000 mrs. wagon 132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of do! We didn't know if RJ was a boy or a girl, but from the way I was carrying I was really convinced he was a boy. I tend to gain weight all around but I was all belly and VERY forward... plus he was super active. So RJ did follow some old wives tales. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-believe-in-old-wives-tales#post-96 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:40:39 +0000 Mrs. Bee 96@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are always trying to guess whether I'm having a boy or a girl based on the shape of my stomach and how I'm carrying. I don't really believe in old wive's tales like that, but I must admit that people guessed Charlie was a boy 100% of the time. With this pregnancy it's been half and half.</p> <p>Do you believe in any old wive's tales? </p>
