Anyone believe in these?

Anyone tried and it has been right?

Anyone have a good one to tell that i can try?

I craved juice and sweet things and my baby's a girl...

But I have to say, I crave juice and sweet things even when not pregnant so not sure that proves much...

Hi there i dont know if this is true either but......ive been told that the severe heartburn im sufferin is a sign that im having a girl!! i never really had heartburn when i was having my other child! i still dont know what im having,so hopefully on thurs at my appointment il find out for the 5th time lucky!!

My nan told me that having heartburn meant the baby was growing hair! I only had it once and my DS is 8 months and still pretty bald so she could be right!!

i was told that heartburn meant you were having a baby with alot of hair, the amount of gaviscon i got through i was slightly worried i might be pregnant with a gorilla!

My sweet tooth went into severe overdrive with all 3 of my pregnancies and i have 2 girls and 1 boy. Also, no heartburn with any pregnancy and two had good head of hair and one pretty bald.

I had terrible terrible heartburn with pg all my pregnancies,it has just started up this time (am 20 wks) so have got plenty of gaviscon to hand,both my boys had LOADS of hair when born so i think there is something in the heartburn theory.
