Old wives tales and gender- post your results

[cooch]

I'm having a boy and have had very mixed symptoms etc. what about yourself.

Chinese gender chart
The one which puts you at a year older when conception happens was correct. There are others online which only go by exact age and month of conception, these all said girl and it's a boy.

Carrying high/low
I'm carrying quite high so far. Not down to good tummy muscles as I have none.

Cravings
I have craved fruit, dairy, biscuits, chinese food and carbs.

Baking soda test.
It fizzed for a boy.

Ring test.
Held wedding ring over tummy. So if it's correct I'll have boy, girl, boy.

Sickness
None to start with but I've been sick a few times at end of first tri and into second tri. Always triggered by a bad smell.

Scans
12 week scan showed the skull was rounded. 16+2 showed it was flat at the front leading to forehead. No nub seen on 12 week and the whole lot shown at 16 weeks.

Heartbeat
At 10 weeks the hb was 183. At 15 weeks it was 139. Just goes to show the vary in range depending on gestation.

With my ds I didn't have the typical owt symptoms. I craved apples and apple pies like crazy and went off meat especiay bacon. I carried extremely low though. But I was sick a lot starting from 8 weeks to around 16/17 weeks. With this pregnancy I haven't been sick once and carrying high and craving pineapple juice. No idea what this one is for another two weeks x

Can you update when you know what you're having? My friend was sick the full 9 months with her first, a boy. Then not sick once with her second, also a boy. I'm sure it all depends on the woman's body at the time of conception.

I was much sicker with my girl than my boy...but when you're pregnant with pink, morning sickness can be worse according to research.

Anyone else who knows the sex, care to update?

Chinese gender chart - boy (did the one that goes by my lunar age)

Sickness - maybe once or twice in the first week after I found out, may have been a bug because not a hint since then

Craving - anything sugary and protein.

Carrying - low

Scans - rounded skull at 16 weeks, also our "it's a boy!" Scan

Heartbeat - 8 weeks 193, its been between 140 and 160 ever since

He's a boy!
