50% chance, i'd say...

I've has terrible skin with two of my pregnancies - both boys.

belgo · 03/10/2008 08:46

Maybe. maybe not. That's one theory I have never heard.

My spots cleared up totally in pregnancy and I only get the occassional one now - I have a gorgeous two year old girl.

i usually have bad skin that is prone to the odd erruption

anyway both pregnancies skin cleared for the duration and both boys.

thejesta2 · 03/10/2008 17:47

Not heard that one before but have had really bad spots around my mouth and jaw and am expecting a girl

PortAndLemon · 03/10/2008 18:08

Yes, it means you're definitely having a girl. Or a boy...

I have one of each and there was no difference.

swampster · 03/10/2008 18:12

Yes, it has been scientifically proven that zitty pregnant women invariably have girls.

SoupDragon · 03/10/2008 18:14

You are simply clinging to any small difference in the hope you get a girl.

EBenes · 03/10/2008 20:39

Skin cleared up - I had a girl.

Beauregard · 03/10/2008 20:40

I had loads of zits both times and have 2 girls.

onepieceoflollipop · 03/10/2008 20:43

I usually have greasy skin prone to lots of shininess and odd spots and I am 37.

During both pgs my skin was normal/dry with no spots - and I had two little girls.

terrible acne - a girl

PavlovtheDog · 05/10/2008 09:00

Not necessarily - I had a girl and had the best complexion I have had in my life!

PavlovtheDog · 05/10/2008 09:00

Lilred - are you me?!

mumof3bs1more · 15/11/2008 09:14

Hi I know exactly what you mean i am 16 weeks pregnant and have the worst acne ever!I've had 3 boys had a abit of bad skin but that was nothing compared to this!I find out the sex of my baby next week hopefully as am booked in for a scan so i will let you know if theres any truth to the old wives tale about acne meaning your carrying a little girl!

Tinasan · 15/11/2008 09:30

Nope, i had briliant skin when I was pregnant with my DD, and was quite spotty beforehand. Now pregnant with a DS and my skin is terrible. So I'm experiencing the same symptoms as half the posters above. So you could be having a boy. Or a girl.

maretta · 15/11/2008 09:37

I've got boy boy girl and my girl pregnancy was the only one I had spots with.
Could just be coincidence.
