I kept saying I'm giving birth to Rapunzel. She had a TON of dark brown hair. Totally true for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-673327 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:12:39 +0000 loveisstrange 673327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't believe the heartburn one. I had massive reflux and she was nearly bald! lol</p> <p>I agree with the one that says girls steal their mom's beauty. I got fat all over, pimply, frizzy haired and gross when I was pregnant and so did most of my friends who had girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-673322 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:11:10 +0000 autumnlove 673322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I believe any! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-673232 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:55:07 +0000 Smurfette 673232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I loved fruit and had a girl!</p> <p>I do believe the heartburn one. I was so excited when the doctor told me she saw LO had hair. Made all the heartburn worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-673067 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:25:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 673067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anecdotally I hear the heartburn one being right. Dh and I bit have thin hair and he had very little hair as a baby, and I haven't had any heartburn. Pretty sure we are having a baldy. </p> <p>Not always, but more often than not the women who carry all in the front and don't gain anywhere else seem to have boys. Women who have the weight distributed around their waist and more in arms or faces seem to have girls. But I think that's just a total crap shoot really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-673053 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:22:09 +0000 immabeetoo 673053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None! LO had a great head of hair and I've never had heartburn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-673039 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:18:40 +0000 DillonLion 673039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was delivering and her head was starting to crown, I asked "Does she have hair?"</p> <p>And when the doc/nurses were like "yes" I was like "Thank God. That explains all of this freaking heartburn!"</p> <p>After plowing through bottles of tums my entire pregnancy, I haven't had one bought of heartburn since the day I delivered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-673036 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:18:04 +0000 MrsTiz 673036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard if you are craving fruit, it's a girl..soo we'll see :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-673031 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:17:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 673031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The heartburn/hair one was very true for me; but I don't know why it works so I think it's still luck of the draw haha ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-673015 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:13:55 +0000 Weagle 673015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe the hair one just because my doctor and nurses said they've found it to be related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-old-wives-tales-do-you-believe#post-672611 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 08:53:58 +0000 illumina 672611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None yet!
