  EVERYONE. almost all customer's who walk in (especially women) guess what I'm having by how I'm carrying.  Most say boy. It's a boy... I think it's silly. You have a 50/50 chance!

  Kinda. I had a man come up to me at the grocery store on Sunday and say, "Its a boy!" ... obviously it is, so I asked him how he knew, and he said, "Well, I have four sons. You're carrying a lot like my wife did. Its perfect!" I thought that was sweet. lol

  I posted this before, but I had a woman say she knew I was having a boy because my face looked different. huh?!?!?! She also said she knew I was pregnant because I was grumpy all the time and was eating a lot. fantastic.

  Yep, my grandma just asked me last night how I'm carrying (she hasn't seen me and won't see me for another 6ish weeks), so she could assess whether I am having a boy or girl :P

  This! I'm so glad we know because it was getting REALLY old. Most guessed girl and were wrong which made me very happy bc they were so effing annoying.

  I had a co-worker ask me the other day if I was sure it was a boy because I look like i'm carrying a girl. Umm yeah. I've had it confirmed twice now so thanks.

  Yep - all the time.  Even last night at the supermarket a random guy said he thinks it's a boy.  Everyone alwasy guesses boy - and they are right.

  When I told my MIL I was pregnant she told me how she thought something was up because I had been "..... on edge" as she put it which is a nice way to say I'd been bitchy. Thanks grandma!

  Yup.  I have had 4 strangers stop me so far and tell me it's a boy.  We don't know what we're having, but with my other 2 pg I was also stopped and told it's a boy.  They were right the second time, but not the first.  Just goes to show, it's how I carry.

  no but it is not super-obvious yet.  However, it was with DS and I got boy ALL THE TIME because of how I am carrying.  It did get annoying but kind of interesting, too.  FWIW everyone tells me they think it is a girl already.  So we'll see...

  The Hispanic lady at the donut place just pointed at my bump and said "Boy?" I laughed and asked her how she knew, but she didn't speak much English...so I said "Si!" and she laughed, lol.

  My dentist said boy because I have not filled out in the thighs and butt.  I am not sure how she could even tell because I am barely showing.  We will find out soon.

  I was told I was having a girl because I am carrying high and round. Nope, he is defintely a boy. Then my hairstylist said she can tell it is a boy because I am carrying just like she did with her two sons.

  I think it has more to do with the mom's body shape than the baby's gender, but that would be too logical.

  My mom called it right away....she thought that I was having a girl because I am carrying very low.  She carried both my sister and I very low and my brother very high.  I thought for sure that I was having a boy....but sure enough, it's a little girl!
