So I've been told that if you crave more meats you are having a boy but if you crave more fruit and vegetables your having a girl is this true ... I find out the the gender in 2 weeks !

I'm convinced I'm having a girl !

I couldn't face fruit or veg for months and I'm having a little girl!

I've had equal amounts of all sorts of old wives tales for both pregnancies.. first ended up being a boy, this time it's a girl.

My nan however knew both times. might start calling her a witch

I craved anything chalky (boxes of Rennie's hit the spot Blush) and ice during both pregnancies, 1 of each here.

That in the late stages the baby runs out of room and movements reduce Hmm

Couldn't stand meat for the whole of pregnancy and I had a boy

With my first I had all the "symptoms" of a girl - sickness, bump shape and size, where I gained weight etc. Had a boy! This time, more classic "boy" symptoms (very different to first time) and I am indeed having another boy! Good luck with your scan.

It's just crazy when you hear things like this and then you notice what you eat more off ... It goes around and round in your head I've had 3 people tell me it's a boy from my belly and 5 people say it's a girl ... I also did the carbonate soda test. And there was no fizz ! I feel like I can't wait any longer 😂

I'm craving sweet stuff and lots of fruit which is unusual for me as I'm savoury all the way usually! Found out an hour ago that were having a boy! 💙

DeadButDelicious · 29/05/2019 17:40

I coulldn't even look at a vegetable when I was having my DD. They made me feel physically ill. And beans. I'm still a bit off them now tbh.

That you'll glow.
Nope. 20 weeks, chest acne, face covered in spots, greasy hair. Grim!

mrsed1987 · 29/05/2019 17:46

that you carry all over if you are having a girl. i had a boy and carried all over lol

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 29/05/2019 18:24

That you suddenly get energy in the second trimester.

Lizbiz89 · 29/05/2019 18:44

That morning sickness is worse with a girl. I had way more ms with my ds than I did with my dd.

Spargle · 29/05/2019 21:43

Please, God, don’t let girl morning sickness be any worse than what I’ve had with this boy!

sirmione16 · 29/05/2019 21:46

Interesting. I didn't eat red meat before (literally since I was 3) and when pregnant with my son, I craved hamburgers and now I eat steak and all.

Bol87 · 29/05/2019 22:20

I had a girl & had no cravings what so ever! I was disappointed!

I did however get severe food aversions. I couldn’t eat chicken my entire pregnancy. And I went totally off chocolate much to my horror! I was genuinely concerned I’d never enjoy it again! (thankfully back to normal ha!)

SamStephens · 29/05/2019 22:27

I’m not a sweets person - I’ll happily take entree and main over main and dessert any time - when I was pregnant with my daughter though I became a chocolate fiend!! With my son I was happy with cheese and tomato on toast every day. I’m pregnant with another girl.. I’ve eaten a family sized bag of fantales in the last week lol can’t remember when I last ate fantales before this..

mumoftwo1988 · 29/05/2019 23:03

I have craved fruit this whole pregnancy and I'm having a boy
