pregnant /boy or girl

Do you  carry high or low with boy's or girl's ? When you are short waisted...

Do you have a biger spread back behind you with girl's?Or start showing earlyer?

Re: pregnant /boy or girl

  • I have always heard you carry low and all in front with boys. I have 3 nephews and it was definately true with their mommies :)

  • It just depends on your body, the baby, and your uterus.  I don't think there is any special formula to says carrying high=girl or visa versa.  Same with sticking out more versus getting wider.

  • I have 3 boys and I have carried evry pregnancy differnt but I think the old wives tale is high=girl and low=boy. I am shortwaisted and carried one like a perfect basket ball and the other like a hug watermelon crosswise. I don't think it is a good predictor. Sorry =)

    Compltely agree!!! I was told a while back (at  a regular gyno apt) that my uterus was set back further, so i might not show as prominent when pregnant as some woman, but we'll see.  My sister had a girl, and she carried everywhere- her hips spread, etc.  I've had friends that have girls that carried all in the front and low (like the wives tale to carry a boy) and vice versaa... i have friends that had boys, that were spread out more. 

     I think you can use it as a possible indication, but not as the only indication of gender.

  • ive started showing a little bit recently and since its all in the front and low everyone is convinced i'm having a boy. I really am hoping for a girl though so we will see! Ill be happy no matter what it is though!
  • Honestly I think I carried the same with all of my kids, and I have 2 girls and a boy.  We didn't find out the sex last time and everyone was guessing boy based on how I was carrying (but again, I couldn't tell a difference).  I had a girl.
