cravings as a gender predictor??

[jenmcn1]

I know this is most likely an old wives tale...but I just had to say, that all I crave from day 1 of this pregnancy...is Mexican, beans, sushi, salads and grapefruit! Anyone else crave this?? And if so are you having a boy or girl?? I have heard that sweet cravings=girl, and salty cravings=boy! What are your opinions??

Well, with DD I had a very accute sense of smell from before I even knew I was pregnant, and craved carbs carbs carbs and fruit like mandarins and lemons and orange juice.

DS I didnt have an accute sense of smell, and liked salt and vinegar chips and some fruits.

This time round (we tried for a girl and did the shettles method as it worked last two times) sure enough I had the accute smell, carbs/burgers/toast cravings and FRUIT and juice SOOOO bad, and HATED chocolate. Took me till 18 weeks to like it again.

Annnnd twins! Not sure what flavour they are tho

Oh and I craved Sushi alot too this time, after about 9 weeks. Cravings are just so strange and powerful arent they! I cant stand plums and a few week ago I was eating 6 at a time!

My first pregnancy I craved sweet things - he was a boy!!

I went of choc in first tri ( for me that's like going off air) and I wanted crisps and salty things, and I'm having a boy...

I'm not usually a big "candy" person, but I have wanted sweets this pregnancy! And it's a boy!

Honestly I don't know that I've had any true cravings except for more wanting to eat junk food (Jack in the Box tacos w/extra hot sauce and ranch!) and maybe a little more spicy things.....oh and I've loved pastries a lot more and I'm having a girl.......

I also didn't get sick at all (thank god!) or have the sense of smell issue as other ladies have had

I went off chocolate and sweets for the whole first trimester which is completely not like me! I like them again now but my main craving is Sushi!
Girl for us

Yeah the sense of smell for me was overpowering and I also hated chocolate until recently, I also have noticed that my cravings have gone I no longer feel the need or desire for foods I once did like nectarines and orange juice, cheese and meats. I am still loving fruit more than usual but thats about it. Although in the first trimester I hated caffeine and only had lemonade and water and fruit juice and the cheese craving OMG it was so strong as was the beef and lamb cravings but I could not tolerate chicken
I am still not a fan of chicken even in the third tri but its not something I cannot stand anymore and I can have a creme egg but thats it, it makes me sick to have actual chocolate bars or blocks.

Im having a girl

Yea I heard boys make you crave sweet and girls savoury. Who knows! Ill find out what Im having on the 21st March, if its one of each then I would totally understand why my cravings have been so weird!

 

[jenmcn1]

Yeah so far with both my pregnancies my sense of smell has been overwhelming!!! Wow! And this pregnancy I have been craving chocolate...I didn't really want it when I was pregnant with my son. So I guess the craving things doesn't really matter lol! From what you ladies have said, some crave sweets with boys, and some crave salty stuff. Hmmm. Well I guess we'll see...unfortunatly I have to wait to find out until my D-day!

I'm not sure my cravings are all over the place. Right now they are greek salad and tzatziki sauce.
A HUGE assortment of fruit. (mostly melons)
and tomato and mayo sandwichs with salt and pepper.

yummm
