Pregnancy Myths: True or False  email this discussion to a friend?

Ive been reading pregnancy myths on the internet and found it very interesting. Do you belive in them? Here are a list of what I read:
Belly shape plays a big role on the gender of the baby.
If the mother is carrying the baby low, then its a girl. If the mother is carrying the baby high in her belly, its a boy.
Women who crave fruit throughout the pregnancy is most likely to be a girl.Women who eat meat and salty foods most likely a boy.
Belly shape:
basketball shape: is a girl
watermellon shape: is a boy

LOL I think that are myths with a very big capital M... Myths are all they are, there're no way of telling something like that :-)

I know there myths but wondering if there are any truth to the myths.

I'll go out on a limb here. Yes there is truth to these myths at least 50% of the time. lol

I don't think the belly shape has something to do with the gender of the baby. I think when I was pregnant, my belly shape was like a basketball than a watermelon. I have a son at last. People often said when a woman who had a girl baby when she was pregnant, she would become a little bad looking. I also don't think it's true. As I couldn't see any difference from my colleague.

Yes I read that as well that the mother starts loosing her looks because the beauty would be used on the baby girl. Did your stomach hang low or high?

I know a lady that carried a girl and she was low, when I had my son I was carrying high it was like my belly was right under my chin... Though I craved French Toast when I was pregnant with my son.. So yes and no it can be and can't be.

Everything is different for each woman and for each pregnancy. It's pretty ridiculous to believe something so general as all that when people are so different.

I've heard all of those and have seen each one proven wrong,I've seen a basketball shape turn out being a boy, I've seen one carring high and its a girl, so nope I don't buy that one.

I usually don't believe them at all, but there is always one person or other that swears they're true.
But I can disprove those. My first pregnancy was carried really high. My mother in law kept telling me it was a boy and tried to convince me to buy boy's stuff, I'm glad I didn't pay attention LOL It was a girl:)
ALso I didn't really crave any fruits - actually didn't crave anything to be honest. And I always eat meat and foods that are a bit salty... still a girl hehe

there were even some i heard way back, that if the mom begins to look unattractive during the period of her pregnancy it would most likely be a boy. If she begins to take care of herself more and wear paint on her face it would be a girl.

Really funny. But the old folks do believe it though.
