theory's of your belly and gender of baby

I've had a lot of people tell me that I look like I'm having a boy but I think that's a theory from the shape of your stomach my first child was a girl and I didn't start showing until I was 6 months. I'm four months and this is the second time around and I'm pretty big. My sister inlaw says if its a boy your stomach grows but not from your sides and if its a girl your stomach grows wide.. Lol I guess HAVE ANYONE HEARD THEORIES LIKE THIS AND DO YOU BELIEVE THEM?

There is absolutely no correlation between shape of your belly and gender.  Everyone's body is different,  hence the way you "show" will be a little different then the next girl. The way your body changes is related to your genetics not the baby's.  Its about as unrelated as saying "my baby likes chicken nuggets because every time I eat chicken nuggets,  it moves." When in reality, the baby does not actually taste your food but only gets the nutrients from your food. It's just something that is said to make you feel knowledgeable about your  unborn child.

I think they're all old wives tales. I started showing at 10 weeks, I'm carrying high, and I'm all belly and I'm carrying a boy. It just depends on your body. This is also my first pregnancy.

I don't believe them, I am about to have my second boy and both pregnancies have been totally opposite. I am carrying this one a lot lower than my first and I got big faster. And the ultrasound was very clear-no doubt that it is a boy again
