Can I add the magpie theory? Three for a girl, four for a boy? It has always been right for me, as has the Chinese gender predictor and my own instinct. However this time they were all wrong, with the exception of a vivid dream I had where the 20 week scan showed a boy, and we are indeed having a boy
