First pregnancy wanted avocado and chocolate spread and definitely no red meat - had a girl.
Second pregnancy wanted orange juice and fruity sweets - had a boy.

This time - orange juice and chocolate. My money is on a boy.

First time - no cravings - I thought they were just people exaggerating and really didn't get it! Had a boy.
This time - fizzy sweets, and sweet things in general - don't know the sex (sorry, not helpful)

Boy- salty things especially chips With salt and vinegar. Orange juice. Funny how I never craved healthy stuff!

Couldn't stand coke, didn't care about red meat and loved curry = girl!

Both pregnancies polar opposites in every way throughout and both girls, totally different looks and personalities though.

Fresh raspberries (fine at start of pregnancy but bloody hard to get and extremely expensive by the end...), and basically any orange food (oranges, orange juice, baked beans, twisties (a kind of cheesy orange extruded foam snack thing in NZ), spaghetti bolognaise, tomato soup, tomatoes on toast, carrots... you get the picture) - Girl.

Never had a boy to compare to though... sorry...
