Old wives' tale?

So it's still a couple of weeks before I find out the gender. At my last app I was told I am carrying low. Doesn't it go boys are low and girls are high or the other way around?

For me most were true actually! First was boy just a small belly carried low no morning sickness. Second a girl gaining weight faster bigger belly carrying high lots of sickness lol everyone is different! Ultrasound is the best way! Other than that mothers instincts are best lol

Again a myth, my first was a boy and I was as wide as a bus! Huge bump too...second I was much neater, still a big bump but no big butt and it was a girl...this time (so far) I'm really neat and only got a bump, dont think I've put on much weight elsewhere, was convinced it was another girl but no...its gonna be a boy! Every pregnancy really is different, in my experience anyway!!

I have always heard if you carry in front its a boy like where you are carrying more in your belly and if you carry more in your hips its a girl

Nothing but an ultrasound. Anything else is a myth and doesnt mean anything :)
