Ok so ignoring my signature - according to the Old Wives Tales what would you think I was having judging by the pregnancy I have had - I'm due in 3 weeks (hooray!)

I have a compact basket ball bump that sticks straight out to the front and is pointy with no weight gain anywhere else. You wouldn't know I was pregnant looking at me straight on.

My skin is spot free and I often look better than I normally do non-pregnant

My boobs have not changed one bit

I have been my same old calm tempered laid back self all through this pregnancy (apart from 2 weeks of tears at 20wks preg when my parents finally moved abroad) but hey that wasn't really started by my hormones

The babies HB is always 125-135

Compact bump but big baby - it's already an 8 pounder and I've got 3 weeks to go

I have had terrible headaches - even sent to the hospital with one it was so bad

Had no MS - just nausea, which I had to keep eating through until about 16 weeks

Have only really wanted to eat cheese and potato chips with sour fizzy sweets, Coca-Cola and Coffee - have barely touched fruit this time.

Although I look well, have been really run down esp in 2nd tri with a 6 week flu, bronchitus and sinusitus - I put this down to the winter season and the fact I have a mad 2.5yr old to run around after all day but no - some people, including my midwife, swear this means boy as girls wouldn't do that to their mothers

Everyone from my MIL to my Midwife to my Daughter to strangers in the street all think it's a boy

This pregnancy is the opposite in every single way to my daughters pregnancy

Oh yeah and I conceived under a boy moon and boy sign in October, 'the boy heavy month', while swaying for a boy 

Could the scan be wrong? There's about a 20% chance that it is as baby didn't co-operate on the day, or are scans only wrong for people who have no gender preference and are not secretly hoping for the opposite because that's really how life works

Don't get me wrong I'm not bitter and I can't wait now to meet this little person whoever/whatever they are - I just can't help think how crazy I am for believing in these things sometimes!!

mostly sounds like my pg. with my boys.....but my pg. is totally different this time and suddenly I'm not feeling so hopeful that it could be a girl.  I would say if they didn't tell you 100% that it's a girl, you still have hope.  GL--hope you get your boy! 

sorry I didn't mean to dash any hopes - I was just laughing at myself at how much I've been taken in by these things.

I'm pretty sure it is a girl going by the scan -  the tech didn't want to commit but I have met two other women who had the same result at our hospital and they had girls - I think it's just the way they act to cover their backs!

You have every chance of a little girl in there and I really hope you do - I'm sending you all my pink dust.

lol im sitting here going through all these wives tales and other gender prediction tests and everything is coming up boy and im getting excited and my husband just shakes his head at me like i am crazy lol

It's fun to do the old wives tale, but don't rely on them.  I did and we thought we were having a girl, we recently found out DS#3 is our the way.
