Boy or girl based on cravings? How accurate?

So DH and I both feel strongly that our LO is a girl but of course at almost 10 weeks, it's way to early to know.  However, I've been craving more savory stuff than sweet (although fruit is pretty stinkin' good right now), and a lot of meat.  For those of you who already have one or more kids and are pregnant again, how accurate are those craving predictors?  Or is all that total BS?

    I couldn't eat meat throughout most of my pregnancy last time... I had a girl! It was wrong for me.

    Yep, this.

    Only thing I "craved" with DD was slurpees because it was late summer and I was hot...

    While pregnant with #1, I was craving sweet stuff all the time and could barely look at meat.  I usually prefer salty snacks over sweet snacks any day.  We ended up having a boy, so that old wive's tale was wrong in my case.

    My friend was convinced she was having a girl because of her cravings and m/s...she's due to have a boy in June. My DH and I have a "feeling" but again, it's 50/50 so who knows.

    Basically every gender predictor symptom, game, etc. said I was having a girl and I had a boy.

    Every gender predictor, every "old waives tale" all said boy for me, and it was right.

    That's not to say that they are all accurate and true, but I still enjoyed that leading up to my ultrasound to find out that he was a boy! haha

    I'm hoping for the same this time around!

    Definitely total BS in my opinion.  You crave what you crave, the end:)

    With my last pregnancy I didn't want much meat but always wanted cereal that was sweet and I loved chocolate but I loved it to begin with. Also did all the online test as well as Old wives tales and they all said Girl.. I had a Girl.

    This time I started off craving meat and don't want much to do with anything sweet. All of the test's this time say Boy and I have a feeling that it will be. I guess we will find out in a few months! :)
