chinese gender prediction - mine said I was having a girl. But I had a boy.
high baseline heartbeat - girl (140s-160s)
low baseline heartbeat- boy (120s-140s)
Even- Odd: if your age and the year you conceived or both even or both odd, it's a girl. If one even, one odd, it's a boy.
For me, almost all signs pointed to girl, so I was really surprised when I had a boy!

Girls steal your pretty. For me it was true! It's ok though, she can have it.

Funny thing about the above is that I've heard the exact opposite!!! Carry high or shaped like a ball is for boys.
I love old wives tales. I mean, they're right 50% of the time!

@MUI831: @chopsuey119: I had an elderly lady at my church come up to me when I was about 36 weeks along and say, "You're having a boy." I was shocked, "I am, how did you know?"
"You're shaped like a football!"
Hahaha I laughed it was so cute.
I also carried low the whole time. His head was basically engaged in my cervix from my 20 week appt on!

my mom told me that if you look at a pregnant woman from the back and cannot tell she is pregnant, she is having a boy. If you can tell, it's a girl. Its a variation of the carrying high & pointy for boy, carrying low & wide for a girl. she also said if you grow a lot of body hair while you are preggo, it's a boy.

@artbee: @blushink: @obxwife: A friend of mine always says you can tell if a woman is having a girl because girls steal your beauty. So if she tells me she thinks I'm carrying a girl, I'll know she thinks I look like crap. Why do people say things like this???
