craving dairy, any thoughts on baby's gender?

We'll be finding out in 2 days time if it's a boy or girl so thought it would be fun to see what everyone had to say about cravings and gender. The only major craving I have really had is for dairy.

Cheese, yoghurt, milk both times, both boys.

I think it is a common craving for the calcium and protein tbh.

1st pg - craved dairy, had a girl.

2nd pg - couldn't stand dairy, had a girl.

3rd pg - craved dairy, had a boy.

Sorry jabbers!

I would say that a craving for dairy definately and absolutely indicates that the child will have a gender. Hope this helps.

I had cravings for milk both times and both boys.

I craved dairy big time with both my pregs. Especially baked potatoes with cottage cheese, butter and grated cheese on top! (wonder why I put on 4 stone...?) And big, ice cold glasses of milk.
Both were boys....

I also craved ice lollies though!

kdinas · 06/07/2006 14:06

I craved cheese with all my pregnancies, and have had three boys!
This time, I can't stand dairy, so will wait and see at the scan, really hoping for a girl(secretly).

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 06/07/2006 14:30

My craving for milk = boy. But my craving for fresh cream horns produced a girl.

Tatties · 06/07/2006 14:31

I craved milk and cheese and had a boy Funny though, at the time I didn't really think it was a craving but looking back, I was drinking milk by the gallon and I never do that now!

Loobie · 06/07/2006 17:09

Milk in huge quantities i.e up to 8 pints a day for the first 2 pgs,both were boys then nothign at all with DD!

MaryBS · 07/07/2006 07:46

I ate cheese cheese cheese when I had my boy. Fruit for my girl.

kdinas · 07/07/2006 12:43

ooh, I have been eating alot of fruit, maybe it is a girl for me then!

sparkler1wantsaconservatory · 07/07/2006 12:47

1st pregnancy - no carvings - girl

2nd pregnant - milk - girl

I also used pregancy as a damn good excuse just to eat.

jabberwocky · 07/07/2006 17:42

The general consensus seems to be boy and...

It IS a boy!!
