If you are having a boy do you crave salt? Girl/Sweets?

LovieBear

Im having a boy and TOTALLY craving salty spicy foods.... anyone else? Anyone with girls crave sweets??? This is an old wives tale... just want to see how many people are feeling this way.?

Interestingly, I just found out that we're having a girl.  In the last week, I have wanted a Rolo McFlurry from McDonald's and I asked DH to buy some ice cream.  I haven't indulged or experienced any other cravings.  So, maybe?

I am having a girl but still crave salty food - which is especially weird for me because I normally have a total sweet tooth!

We are having a girl and I haven't really craved one over the other. I'm always down for some good mexican food or good crunchy kettle chips...but Ive always had a sweet tooth and have been wanting to get some of those red and green sour belts too! yum!!

I craved salt in the beginning, but craved sweets after that and I'm having a girl!

I am having a boy but crave sweets. Of course I always do so nothing new to pregnancy.

I'm special, apparently...because we're having a boy - but I'm loving up on the salt AND my usual sweets! Although, I have really wanted "salty-ish" types of foods, like pickles, sauerkraut w/ brats, & chips & dip in the past few weeks.

I still love my big bowl of ice cream, though

I always heard it was that you crave more meat with boys, which I have been - my biggest craving has been for hamburgers.  I'll say one thing, this baby takes after his daddy because that's one of my husband's favorite foods.

I'm having a girl and craving sweets, to a point, mostly fruit. But then Mexican has been my go to food, esp during 1st tri, it was all I could keep down along with watermelon

I crave fruit and chocolate. sweets I guess. I am having a girl.

I craved salts really bad with my first and she's all girl. With my son, my cravings weren't nearly as intense, but when I did have a craving, it was usually for something sweet. So I guess that busts the myth for me. With my third, I haven't had intense cravings but my rare cravings tend to be more salty than sweet. We aren't finding out the sex though.

Having a boy and craving sweet like WOAH.

At the very beginning (it actually started a day or two before I knew I was pregnant and went on for a couple of weeks) I wanted sour wine gyms.  Then the sickness hit and I wanted nothing to do with food... after that passed, it was Gobstoppers.  Couldn't get enough of them for a few weeks. Now it's Slurpees and Coke.

We don't know what we are having.. I've been thinking girl though, mainly because of the other old wives tale about mass amounts of morning sickness!! haha

My main craving this whole time though has been hamburgers!! Homemade, A&W, Dairy Queen, doesn't really matter. If I could them every day, I literally would! haha

But then on the other hand, I've also been craving Cherries , Peaches and Cupcakes! yummy!

We're having a girl, but I can't stand sweets. lol. It's been salty stuff for me. I love PICKLES!!!! And salt and vinegar chips. And almost anything I eat, has to have some sort of salty type flavor or it tastes nasty. The only sweet stuff I eat, would be occasionally ice cream, some fruits (but mostly citrus fruits). So for me it's been salty foods but having a girl so the tale didn't work for me. But now at the moment, I want a pickle, so ending my post to get one.

Boy & Sweets (and carbs and every other thing not good for me)

forensicmama

All I wanted with my DD was apples and fruit (but I didn't like desserts and other sweets). With this one, I don't mind the occasional ice cream, but I don't go seeking it out. I do like salty things more than usual, though. I'm not sure what this one is yet.

I'm having a girl and I'm craving both. I find myself frequently thinking about eating ice cream and potato chips.

Lambie.

My biggest craving with my girl and boy is/was fruit.

VeilSdeGTO

I'm having a girl and I would crave salty stuff. I also craved fruit, but no sweet candies or anything like that.

mrs.lizzieb

With DS I was craving sweets ALL the time and I'm usually a salty kind of a gal.  This time around, I started off craving salty food but now it's switching over to sweets.  We find out the sex tomorrow, so it'll be interesting to see which way it goes!

Sunburn19

I've always been a "kick it up a notch" with spiciness kinda girl, but salt I've never really cared about....until about two months ago.  I now find myself putting salt/more salt on most things--we're having a boy :0)

shannykay

Im having a boy and I am craving sour and sweet candy all the time!!!!

Miss Shasta

I crave all things salty and I'm having a girl!

triple_sevens

My biggest craving is fruit. Love it, love it, love it. I don't know what I'm having, though I suspect boy.

karabb

I am having a boy and have craved each equally. Sometime at the same time, like french fries with dinner and icecream for dessert.

BettyBookworm

I don't know about the validity of this wives tale. I also don't know what I'm having yet. However, I've started craving ice cream lately. Prior to being pregnant I ate ice cream once a year or so. Now I want to have one little scoop a night. If it is true that sweets = girl then I'll be able to "know/confirm" (I use that term so very lightly here ladies) on June 7th.

I truly believe that its a 50/50 shot anyway. I'll be happy with whatever sex we get as long as that baby is safely in my arms in October! 

Antania23

Same here!  Prior to being pregnant, I always had a sweet tooth but as soon as I got pregnant, my tastes changed completely.  All I crave is salty and spicy foods.  Yep, I am having a boy too!  Who knows, maybe it isn't just an old wives tale after all.

This.  There is a newer Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream flavor called Late Night Snack.  It's Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with a Salty Caramel Swirl & Fudge Covered Potato Chip Clusters!  The best of both worlds!

I'm having a boy, and while I haven't forgotten about sweets by any means, I crave salty foods more!

UltrasoundTechMommy

I crave sweets and I'm having a boy!

ReneeRN

I am having a girl and want salty and spicy too, but prior to getting KU that was always my "go to" food.
