Ha, honestly?! There's plenty of old wives tales. Some women are adamant they know and are proven wrong!

For me, I thought I was expecting a girl because every time I imagined holding our baby I imagined a girl. I am also carrying all up front. I had lots of morning sickness too. All possible indicators of pink! At the scan baby's leg were in the air and she couldn't be sure! Her exact words were Well I can't see any boy bits!

I find out in two weeks! I am so anxious to find out!

I am almost positively certain I am having a boy though.

My family over in Ireland told me that if you get a golden chain and put a ring on the end of it and hold it over your stomach, whichever way it swings deciphers what you're having. (yes, you can laugh) If it goes round in a circle it's a girl, if it goes side to side it's a boy.

Hmm

Have you looked up nub theory from 12 week scan? I think this is the only accurate way, but chances of you having a scan picture in the right position are slim!

Every single ' trick' said boy for me including the chinese gender predictor, in my dreams it was a boy.

3 scans say girl :-)

Just wait a week and calm yourself!

If you're ravenously hungry, more likely to be a boy (or so I am told!)

In the meantime, make lots of good plans with friends and family, get out and enjoy life so that you're not obsessing over it.

Ive heard if you get cravings for bananas it means its a boy. Something to do with craving potassium i think Smile

I had HG this time so suspected I was having a girl and was right.
Had easy time with the boy!!

BonaDea · 25/02/2013 15:28

in my experience, people are waaaay more excited for you if you don't find out - including doctors, midwives, sonographers etc. Perhaps you should just play the waiting game Grin

I am having a boy and am eating tons of bananas and potatoes (also high in potassium). Carrying all up front which lots of people have said is a boy thing! I felt really strongly that I was having a boy and was right but as others have said you never know for sure : )
