What is your belly shape saying? ..something to keep me occupied:)

[N27murray]

Ok, I'm trying to figure this out...

if your belly grows out to the front that means boy and if you grow all around its a girl...or so they say ...right?

I'm just curious how many of you mommies this was true for.


Im still very early in my pregnancy but I've already noticed my love handles at the back/sides have disappeared and my belly is sticking out the front pretty far. I seem to be shifting all my weight from everywhere else and pushing it all out front. I've thought this baby was a boy from the very beginning (despite having two dreams its a girl). We are staying team yellow until baby is born so I need all these old wives tales and tricks/tips to keep me occupied.

what other "at home" gender predictors can I try?

thanks ladies

I'm short (almost 5'2") and I'm mostly sticking straight out. Its a little hard to say "all over belly" or "sticking straight out belly" since my torso is short....so not much room for baby anyways. But my DH and sister say my belly is mostly sticking straight out. And we're having a boy.

And for "at home gender predictions" every single one I tried (I think all but one?) said girl! LOL

I've always heard - if you're showing at the back it's a boy; and if you're showing more at the front it's a girl!

I've always heard - if you're showing at the back it's a boy; and if you're showing more at the front it's a girl!

that's what I always thought too! But then the last few weeks I've been reading it the other way around. That's why I'm so confused lol

 

[mara16jade]

Well, here's me from about 4 hours ago. lol

I'm obviously not as big as you since I'm just starting second tri but that looks like the shape I'm beginning to take on.
hmmm...... thank you for sharing that

The chinese gender prediction has been right for me both times, even this time when i swore i was having a boy since my cravings were different! I gain weight evenly in general and it has been the case with both pregnancies so i'm not sure if that was a predictor or not?

 

[Gizzyy]

mines kind of out front not all around. I'm having a girl x This was me at 24 weeks.

 

[N27murray]

I just did the Chinese gender predictor and it says BOY ...this stuff is neat

what's the one where you hold a string over your belly or something?

 

[Literati_Love]

Mine is just out front and I don't know the gender yet.

 

[JoJoB]

Im carrying all over, front and sides and im carrying a boy so not true for me x

 

[Bell23]

Mine is out, all belly. Its a boy however, EVERY wives tale said girl so they didn't work at all for me.

 

[ChristiansMum]

With DS I was all out front, you couldn't tell I was pregnant from behind but with DD I put on weight EVERYWERE! In my face and everything x

 

[greenpear]

Wives tales didn't work for me the first time. I only carried in front, couldn't tell from the back, carried pretty low (because I have long torso) and Chinese pregictor said Boy as well. Weellll....my daughter is a tomboy for sure but with all the girly bits

This time around I don't know yet for sure who I'm having but pregnancy is pretty much the same as last one

 

[AyrasMommy]

here is info on the string test!


The string wont move if you are a virgin.
but it will predict future pregnancies and also tell you what you've had already. It will read abortion and miscarriage.

We do it with a string and a ring over the hand, palm down.

Circle for a girl, back and forth for a boy
We put the ring back down on the hand in between each child, that is how you know twins our not (the ring will move, stop and move again)
because some people in other versions of the test allow the string to stop and go on its own.

I'm having a boy, only got a neat bump out front... Nowhere else yet

The Chinese gender prediction was right for me too

 

[mrsmummy2]

I was all round with my first (girl) and gained weight all over.
This time I'm definitely all in front & gained no weight except the approximate weight baby should be at this point. this time it's a boy
I don't think it's real, because my friend was all in front and had a girl... but it's fun to guess

 

[JackJack82]

Chinese calendar said girl. I'm having a boy. My daughter I carried all over. My first son Basket ball..

Pic says it all. 25 weeks today. Basketball belly again lol

 

[Mummafrog]

I'm definitely carrying all round, even though I haven't gained weight the bump is spread around the side of my belly hehe and it's a baby girl in there! True for me

 

[cflower04]

I'm having a boy and I don't really have a bump yet! I just look a little chubbier than usual.
