DM always said if you put weight on all over it’s a girl, just a bump at the front it’s a boy.
She always got it right too- although not sure how well that works these days with peoples changes in lifestyles over the last decade or so.

This was me. Neat bump so everyone said boy.

Only my mum got it right as she carried me in exactly the same way. I have a girl

I carried very very high in both mine and I had boys. So many said "oh high it's a girl". It just depends on your body

No I had two opposites pregnancies and carried both differently, felt very different, very sick with one and both the other and both were boys

Carried high with my 2 older girls, average with my son and currently pregnant with my 4th that is a girl. Very low in this pregnancy from get go. So to be honest I don't believe there is a way if finding out of its a boy or girl.. just have to wait for the scan

A scan ...

EachPeachPearNectarine · 10/10/2023 07:59

It's all nonsense. What happens when someone's carrying boy girl twins? Does their bump change every five minutes?

A load of shit

SherbetLemonn · 10/10/2023 08:02

I came here to say they’re a load of old shit… but I see @Plumful beat me to it 🤣

All a load of old crap in my opinion.

Some people used to tell me that because I didn't have any pregnancy sickness I must be having a boy. For each of my three pregnancies. I had three girls.

Once you’ve had a 12 week scan, nib theory can be accurate if you know what you’re looking at and have a clear picture. Otherwise no, none of those old wives tales work at all. If you want to find out have a sexing scan.

It's all nonsense.

It's all bullshit, and to top it off, people only do it a they can spout additional bullshit.

ILs guessed that my baby must be a girl, because it kicked so much, and boys were lazy. Except he's a boy. So now all the kicking means he's going to be a footballer. And it's a good thing it's about because girl toddlers all throw massive tantrums. And boys also...

(Important to add, my husband is the least stereotypical man ever, so no idea why they think boys are all like that...)

I get that they're excited, but for me the exciting bit is learning who he is, not making up bullshit assumptions based on his genitals.
