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
-
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!
-
Fun! I'm feeling girl with this one again!
-
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.
-
@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 wideBoy: "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
-
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? -
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 tellSo 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.
-

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

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

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 -

-
@hilsy85: thanks!
-
@Mrs. Pickle: I was wondering who this was too! Congrats
@hilsy85: I hope you find out today! You must be dying of anticipation!
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
My guess was correct - I'm having a baby girl!
-
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!
-
@BelugaBean: congrats!!
Lots of girls so far for October!
Is anyone else actually waiting until the anatomy scan? I feel alone over here!
-
@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!
-
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.
-
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!
-
@BelugaBean: congrats!!!
Lots of girls in October!
-
@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
-
@jodyblair: congrats!! So exciting!
Just scheduled our ultrasound for 4/19 to find out!
At least I have my 12 wk appt tomorrow and my NT scan Monday, so I will be kept busy.
