OK OK I KNOW this is an old wives tale, but humour me ... bump shape and sex of baby.

[Miaou]

When pg with dd1 - bump very high and at the front
dd2 - ditto
ds - very low and all round
db (sex unknown, obviously) - bump high and at the front. Girl?

Go on - tell me I am talking rubbish ...

You're talking rubbish

Be interesting to see if you're right though!

well my ds was low and to the front and dd was high and to the front. No bump yet for no. 3, so will probably do a similar comparison when the time comes!! (you can't help but do it can you!?!)

2 girls - neat, round, all at the front bumps.

Think it's all crap though

DD bump was everywhere (I was a walking human egg!), not a neat bump but high
DS bump was very neat and low.

hunker - tell it like it is gal

Oooh, interesting - come on, I need more respondees ...

Do you secretly hope it is one or the other?

We have the same mix of sexes as you and I can't help thinking another boy would make the bedroom situation a bit easier!

Hi Miaou

DS1 bump very neat and low and all out front

DD2 bump more rounded put on weight at the sides

DB3 who we have been told is a boy, bump is def the same as DS1!

It's funny Ceolas, I really don't mind what this one is - but I agree, a boy would be more "convenient and practical" . But I love to speculate (it's what keeps me going throughout pregnancy - I couldn't bear to know until the event!!)

I can't remember, are yours dd,dd, ds like mine?

Yes just the same.

But I really don't mind.

ds...bump all around ..big all over
dd...a sort of stuck on high up bump

think it's crap though

Ds - All round low & out the front, neat bump.

Dd - high, all over, out sides & generally big.

BUMP hahahahaha

I'm amazed, so far just about everyone is saying they carried their dds high - really expected it to be less clear-cut!

My bump was practically a third boob it was so high.HE's been awkward ever since!

Only 1 to talk about, but dd was all high and at the front!

DD1 - bump low and at the front.
DB - bump much higher than before (but still wouldn't call it very high) and again at the front. Had our 20 wks scan today, didn't ask for the sex, but I think it's a little girl .

If I look around me, friends who carry girls all have fairly low all to the front bumps, the ones carrying boys have bumps more barrel-like, if you know what I mean.

You might enjoy this posted on the due in August thread. It asks you questions based on all the old wives tales, inc bump shape, and gives you a probability precentage.

oooh thanks treacletart! Will read and giggle

Haha, that says 70% in favour of a girl

I will resurrect this thread when the baby is born!
