Alright ladies, I'm going to start a list. I'll do my best to go through our original thread to start something.
I don't know all of the old wives' tales, but if you know them and want to take a guess, post them!

I'm going to guess boy for myself because my pregnancy is almost identical to my son's except I had even less nausea this time and zero food aversions.

I'm going to guess girl. I don't really have a reason for it other than being more attached to my girl name than my boy name. I'm having an elective scan on 4/27 to find out.

My guess is boy because this pregnancy is so much different from my pregnancy with my daughter. Also, because there are so many girl names we like but no boy names
squash / 13764 posts
Hmm, I kind of think girl because this pregnancy has been very different, but I also think boy because I just think it's a boy! SO I am torn. I will find out this week!

I'm guessing girl...I've been more nauseous this time and have had more acne. And I'm really hoping for a girl Just scheduled our ultrasound for 4/19 to find out!

I don't know! We have our elective scan on 4/18. This pregnancy has been so different but is more of a typical girl pregnancy this time. I guess I'll go with girl. I feel more confident in decisions about a girl again (name, nursery, etc). Plus LO keeps saying it's a girl so I'll go with her thoughts.

Fun! Def thinking boy for some reason, and feeling boy even more after our NT scan bc I think the nub looked very boyish! We'll see though!

I'm guessing boy just based on my pregnancy symptoms being so different than last time!

I'm going to guess girl, since I had nausea for a couple of weeks this time and none with my first two boy pregnancies.

@shellio: Updated!
Someone really needs to fill me in on all of these old wives' tales. Google is overwhelming.
My sister said if the hb is high it's a girl but that's really the only one I know.
pear / 1693 posts
@babycanuck: The old wives tales I know are:
Girl: "steals your beauty" acne, dry hair, etc
Craves sweets
More morning sickness
Weight gain all over, carry wide
Boy: "enhance your beauty" shiny hair, "glow"
Crave salty
Less morning sickness
All belly

@JessKas: well then I'm having both?? lol I have symptoms of both according to those
squash / 13764 posts
All the random Old Wives Tales I could find!
Carrying high/low (high it's a girl, low it's a boy): too early to tell for me!
Skin breakouts (mean it's a girl): would indicate boy for me, but I had awful skin with my DS!
Dry hands/cold feet (mean it's a boy): I mean, it's been winter...so doesn't everyone have this??
Heart rate (under 140=boy, over=girl): would indicate girl, but again, DS' HR was over 160 as well.
Cravings (sweets=girl, salty=boy): would indicate girl for me!
chinese gender chart: indicates boy for me!
Morning sickness (nausea means girl)= I had some nausea this time and none with DS, so indicates girl
Where you are carrying weight (butt and hips=girl, in the front=boy): well, my dad told me I look "wider" so I guess girl?
grapefruit / 4066 posts
Fun! I'll play but just found out we are having boy, but lots were true for boy for me.
Carrying high/low (high it's a girl, low it's a boy):too early
Skin breakouts (mean it's a girl): Boy
Dry hands/cold feet (mean it's a boy): have been super dry, but it's winter.
Heart rate (under 140=boy, over=girl): this made me think boy just bc with my DD her heart rate was always so high(160-170) and this time, esp the last few weeks it's been more like 140-150.
Cravings (sweets=girl, salty=boy): hmmm neither really!
chinese gender chart: boy! Was also right for DD
Morning sickness (nausea means girl)= Girl since I was nauseous this time.
Where you are carrying weight (butt and hips=girl, in the front=boy): so far just belly but too early
@hilsy85: I think you are having a girl for some reason- can't wait for you to find out!

Carrying high/low (high it's a girl, low it's a boy): too early to tell
Skin breakouts (mean it's a girl): Girl. But I had breakouts with DS, too.
Dry hands/cold feet (mean it's a boy): Boy, but my hands are always dry in winter
Heart rate (under 140=boy, over=girl): Girl. It was 180 at my 10 week checkup
Cravings (sweets=girl, salty=boy): Neither?
chinese gender chart: Girl
Morning sickness (nausea means girl)= Boy. I had a few days of nausea but nothing major. I felt more nausea with my son
Where you are carrying weight (butt and hips=girl, in the front=boy): too early to tell
So far this pregnancy is almost identical to my son's except I had less nausea and no food aversions this time. But I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything - my friend had two pregnancies that were identical and had a boy and a girl.

I wanna play too!
Carrying high/low (high it's a girl, low it's a boy): too early to tell
Skin breakouts (mean it's a girl): Girl. Didn't have so many with dd though!
Dry hands/cold feet (mean it's a boy): Boy, but since I've gotten sick quite a bit I've also been handwashing a lot!!
Heart rate (under 140=boy, over=girl): Girl- started at 180, last one I remember was 150s at 12w.
Cravings (sweets=girl, salty=boy): Boy
chinese gender chart: Girl, according to babycenter.com- I think I've done it on other sites and got boy, but I'm not sure.
Morning sickness (nausea means girl)= Boy, way less nausea this time!
Where you are carrying weight (butt and hips=girl, in the front=boy): So far I'm losing everywhere else but still growing a tiiiiiiny bump, so boy!
I wanna know NOW! Haha. Our tech was going to give us a guess at the NT scan, but the cord was between the legs anyway.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
Fun!
Carrying high/low - boy
Breakouts - girl
Dry hands/cold feet - boy
Heart rate - girl
Cravings - girl
Chinese Gender chart - n/a bc of donor conception
Morning sickness - girl
Weight - boy
I'm almost evenly split between boy and girl!
pomegranate / 3516 posts
Carrying high/low (high it's a girl, low it's a boy): Too early but I have a feeling it'll be low like LO (who's a girl)
Skin breakouts (mean it's a girl): Boy
Dry hands/cold feet (mean it's a boy): Boy
Heart rate (under 140=boy, over=girl): Girl
Cravings (sweets=girl, salty=boy): Girl
chinese gender chart: The one I found says boy
Morning sickness (nausea means girl)= Definitely girl but I had minimal nausea with LO
Where you are carrying weight (butt and hips=girl, in the front=boy): I think boy so far

@Mrs. Pickle: I was wondering who this was too! Congrats
@hilsy85: I hope you find out today! You must be dying of anticipation!
squash / 13764 posts
@NovBaby1112: I just called them--apparently it's more like 10-14 BUSINESS days! So Monday at the earliest At least I have my 12 wk appt tomorrow and my NT scan Monday, so I will be kept busy.
grapefruit / 4066 posts
@hilsy85: oh man! Thats a bummer! But that's awesome you have 2 appts coming up to keep busy!!

my guess is a girl for me because this pregnancy is feeling a lot like the last one with DD.

Because of my "geriatric pregnancy" (I'm 37), we found out via blood test that I'm having a girl at 10 weeks during the genetic screening. Not sure how I'm carrying - I feel like it's in the middle? Haha. Nausea for sure (all day during the first trimester), but now I feel great. I certainly don't crave sweets though! Normally I love sweets but now they sound gross. Fresh fruit and bean burritos are my big cravings. For the first time in my life I have dry feet! And her heart rate at our last appt was 160. So, by the signs it would indicate both.

We had our elective ultrasound today and it's still early (15 weeks) but it was pretty definitive that it's a girl!
grapefruit / 4455 posts
@BelugaBean: congrats!!
Lots of girls so far for October!
Is anyone else actually waiting until the anatomy scan? I feel alone over here!
pear / 1693 posts
@2littlepumpkins: We're waiting for the anatomy scan! Scheduled for May 26! It feels crazy early though because we were team green with my daughter and I expected we would be with this one too. DH really wants to find out this time!
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
I'm hoping one of each. The ultrasound tech said she might have seen something that made her think one was a boy.
I'm only at 14 weeks and I have an Appt next week and also appt at 18 and 22 weeks.
squash / 13764 posts
So many girls!!!@bluestriped bee: you should definitely be able to tell at 18 weeks, I had my anatomy scan at 16wks with my DS and it was very obvious!
pear / 1737 posts
@JessKas: @2littlepumpkins: I don't think we have those tests here to determine gender early. Anyway, we're waiting for our anatomy because we have no other choice! Very excited though!! We have a name for each gender I think. May 19th. Counting down.

I posted on the other thread, but baby #2 is another boy! We has our elective scan this morning
