I have heard all sorts of tales like that too but I keep hearing opposites and seeing contradictions to whatever is said. If you're all bump then it's a boy, if you put weight on all over, it's a girl. Then I hear the opposite and then see complete contradictions.
Everyone kept saying to my sister that she had a lovely neat bump and therefore she was having a boy. But she ended up having a girl. She was just bump and very neat and tidy. She didn't put any weight on anywhere else on her body and I've been lucky enough to be the same. Scientifically, I can't see how the shape of the bump or position of the bump reflects the sex of the baby. All urban myths I think. it would be interesting to see a survey done though to see what the majority would be. Perhaps I'm too scientific about the whole thing. LOL. The newest one I heard was if you have loads of heartburn, the baby will have lots of hair. Again, I have no idea how this could scientifically be proven or what would cause that to happen. My mum didn't really have any heartburn on us and we were all born with hair. I have terrible heartburn but it's easily remedied with some Rennie or Gaviscon which is safe to take so I don't complain. But if the myth were true...I'll be giving birth to Sideshow Bob. LOL! |

hahaha sideshow bob. That's funny. I love the urban myths that surround pregnancy and childbirth. My friend Larissa didn't have any heartburn during pregnancy and her kid was born with a lot of hair. So Kiera how did you break the news to your parents and everyone. My friend Larissa told me when we were driving one day and goofing around and she said my sister is going to be an aunt. It took me like 5 minutes to put it together. Haha

Well my dad worked it out! Believe it or not. I was only about 5 weeks gone at that stage. I don't know how he worked it out that early because I had no symptoms then but he did. I then had lunch with my mum a couple of days later and told her. Both of my parents were overjoyed. I then waited a couple of weeks to tell my family but advised them not to tell anyone until I said so.
I told my boss and all my friends when I was about 12 weeks which is the norm. I waited til I saw the ultrasound and then was given the all clear. Then I just couldn't contain my joy. When I told my sister, I said 'Faye is going to have a new little cousin'. But I just blatantly just came out and told everyone else. The funny thing was about telling my sister, is that Faye picked me up wrong and gave my sister a big hug thinking it was my sister having the baby. She thought she was going to have a sister or brother and not a cousin. It was funny for a few minutes having to explain it to her. She gets it now. A few weeks ago, when I went over there, Faye saw my growing bump and said - "Have you not had the baby yet?" She's already getting impatient. LOL |

Put a hundred pounds on red, Marco! I've seen a guy in a private London casino drop a hundred pounds on red at the side of the dealer's position and won 4 times in a row, lost one hundred on the fifth spin, but walked away happy with 500 pounds in three minutes!
Red always wins, baby! Put a hunny on red! |
