people who have had a baby boy

I am almost 17 weeks pregnant I'm carrying really low and I crave potatoes like crazy. Me and my fiance think were having a boy. I have to wait 2 1/2 weeks until my gender reveal. I just want to know if other women had the same cravings/ carrying low when they had a boy.

I'm a ftm & I'm 21w3d preggo with a baby boy & I've been carrying low the whole time & I also have been craving potatoes (french fries, cheese fries, wedges, tator tots, hashbrowns, & fried potatoes) like crazy along with pizza, chicken, steak, milkshakes, & fruit lol. And ever since the very first moment I found out I was preggo I just knew it was a boy & I was right and everyone else kept saying boy too. So looks like you're going to be having a little boy too. Congrats! :)

I crave potatoes too, especially chips with cheese or jacket potatoes with beans and cheese but im having 2 girls (crave loads of sweet stuff to be honest ... which is one of the few wife tales that appeared to be true in my case) xx

I had the same exact things and craved the same exact things too. And also carried low and when I was pregnant with him his hb was between 130-160. And I had 2 girls, carried high no sickness and wanted some sweet things ant their hb was between 140-160. Now I'm pregnant again, I'm thinking a boy this time because I'm carring low I'm always vomiting every sing day and want salty foods and pickles and not much sweets. I'm 9w3d, I can't wait to find put if its a boy then I would have boy, girl, girl, boy just the way I wanted it :). Good luck on your scan hun!!

With my first I carried high and ate nothing but spicy stuff and he was a boy and with this one I am carrying low and can't even touch spicy or salty food because I get such bad heartburn and I'm having another boy

I'm pregnant with a boy. I can't really see the difference in how I'm carrying him and when I was carrying my daughter. The only difference I've had, is when I was pregnant with my daughter, I was really hormonal and always thinking my husband was cheating lol. I haven't had any morning sickness with this pregnancy and I haven't been hormonal at all. I hope this helps, just remember every woman is different. Good luck! :)
