Pregnant after a Loss

Question about OWT

I?ve been searching around on Google, but can?t find the info that I?m looking for. I?m trying to find something that says how to tell the gender based on what you?re craving. The only thing I can find says that sweet=girl and salty=boy, but this doesn?t help me at all. I need specific food groups. For example, fruit and carbs. Obviously OWT are just for fun and I?m not putting any stock in it, just curious if you ladies had heard any thing else based on your cravings. Thanks!

Re: Question about OWT

  • With 1st PG (boy) = no cravings, no m/s, heartbeat 160ish

    With 3rd PG (girl) = fruit cravings, m/s, heartbeat 175+

    But then, I'm not a salty gal. I'd rather take sweet over salty (and most salty foods, like chips and popcorn, I don't really like anyways, PG or not). 

     I've never craved fruit until I was PG. During the 2nd half of the PG, I also craved pasta and pizza. Actually, I'm 3.5wPP and I got a pizza last night and I went to CiCi's today for lunch (crappy pizza was better than no pizza IMHO).

    eta: I never had any food aversions with any PG. I love food too much.

  • I've only heard the salty/sweet thing.  I crave sweets, which I do anyway pregnant or not, and he's all boy.  Though, I also crave fruit, but I also always do that in summer.  I have heard that craving fruit and healthier foods supposedly means girl.  At one point I was craving salad, but that was short lived.  In fact, most of my cravings are really short lived - 2-3 days or less.

  • With DD and this baby I craved fruit and carbs. I also had a meat aversion (which was much worse with DD).

    With DS that passed, I craved meat and bar food type things.

  • Thanks ladies, your info helps a lot! Because I am definitely craving fruit and carbs and having major meat aversions, so maybe it will be a girl! Long way to go to find out though!

  • I am having a boy and I have been craving fruits in a bad way.  I am not a huge person, so this was definitely a change.  I also feel pretty and feel fabulous, I am guessing it might also be related to PG hormones.  I did not have much nausea, only 3 wks and it was not strong. I never had to vomit.  My waist is not getting wider, i am carrying most of my weight in the front.

    I am not craving meats or anything too heavy like pasta.  I crave spicy food, lite, and fresh cold foods.
