old wives tales ????

[bubble78]

was just wondering if there where any old wives tales for craving fruit juice when pregnant especially pineapple is it a sign of having a boy or girl???

and constipation is that a sign of a boy or girl??

sorry these will have been on here loads i know but its still interesting

Dunno, but pineapple is supposed to induce labour!

i ahd a craving for apple juice (which i absolutely hate!!) and i ended up having a girl.

and i would stay clear of pineapple juice,as like daisy said its supposed to induce labour (well,i know eating it does,not sure about juice)

oh and as for the constipation,i was bunged up with all of mine!(ive got 2 boys and 3 girls)

Old wives tales I've heard,

1. Craving sweets for girls
2. Craving salt for boys,

1. When my mother in law found out I was pregnant she was very worried about our ds because she says that sometimes children get fevers and die because of jealousy when a new sibling arrives.

I think it takes eating about 7 large pineapples to induce labor, so drinking the pineapple juice will do nothing.

when i was pg with ds1 i craved big macs!

dd1 mince pies (in summer!)

dd2 chicken korma and apple juice

ds2 sausage rolls and pickled cabbage!

dd3 liquorice!!

thanks ladies i hope it doesnt induce labour im only 11 weeks pregnant but i hope drinking it is ok as i cant get enough of the stuff

Hi does anyone know any stories of pregnancy with a coil in place?
