Someone just told me I look like I am having a boy...

My cleaning lady just told me in Spanish that I look like I am carrying a boy.  This is when I told her I was pg and she said 'we kinda figured'. 

I understand Spanish and I started laughing because if they were wrong on the early u/s I may have to return some girl stuff.  Oops...

I really don't understand how ppl can tell.  I am almost 18wks but I can't see how you can tell that early how someone is carrying.  I do have a stomach and I am short/small gal.

    My mother was convinced I was having a boy from day one, by how I was carrying. My cousin, who had a girl, was carrying totally differently - so my mother guessed correctly for her as well. The way I see it, she had a 50-50 chance of being right or wrong in both cases.

    Then I had a coworker always saying I looked like I would be having a girl... I think it is all based on how they carried their pregnancies for the most part. You will get many more "oh there is no way you are having a girl/boy" moments through out the pregnancy. People totally go by what their pregnancies were like, but in truth all pregnancies are different.

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    Ha! Be careful. No more girl purchases until you are sure!! :)

    (I say this as someone who was told that I looked like I was carrying a boy but who was told that I was having a girl at my 20 week u/s. Of course, when I went for a follow up at 22 weeks, they informed us we definitely had a boy. The tech should have said I'm just not sure, you're baby is moving too much! but instead she guessed and never told us it was a guess.)

    thanks, krissy.  This lady was really claiming she is always right when I told her I was having a girl.  She said in Spanish that another girl she knows is having a boy but is carrying like a girl. Go figure, she is wrong twice...

    I guess it doesn't help that she said that (doesn't make me mad, jsut makes me think...) when I was driving 10 min early and thinking that the baby might be a boy.

    kme, that is what I get for getting a guess at 14w.....:)  ..but you are right they sometimes guess and don't tell you they are 100%.  They were 100% with my son at 14wks, but this time they weren't sure until the end of the u/s. (and still not 100%)

    mouseygail - my big u/s is next week.  I haven't had an u/s in 4wks since they told me that. 

    I know ppl have bigger stuff to worry/think about.  This is minor.  We will be happy with either gender!!!

    My mom was certain I was having a boy.  Not because of the way I was carrying, but because I had no morning sickness.  LOL - did she know you understand spanish?

    Well, she is really my cleaning lady's assistant and she said it softly not thinking I heard her or could understand spanish.  I said 'no I am having a girl'. 

    My friend's mom told her at 12wks that she was carrying a boy and because she had a psychic prediction.  My friend believed her.  Then when she found out she was having a girl she was shocked, her mom said 'oh, I thought you were getting wide'.  Nice comment from your mom....  :)

    Ha! I plan to do the same thing when I get my next u/s (whenever that is)!
