The suspense is killing you -- is it a boy or a girl in there? An ultrasound technician can tell you, but they can be wrong. Until the Big Reveal, here are some entertaining, sometimes weird ways to predict your baby's sex.
Highs and Lows
This one you can do just by looking south: if you're carrying high, break out the pink. If your bump is low, you're carrying a boy.

My MIL swore by the carrying high/low one.
Never heard of the Mayans' redictor, but a simple mathmatical equation seems pretty easy to prove wrong.
What about the "girls steal your looks, boys don't" myth? I've heard this one a lot. "Oh, you must be having a boy, you're looking so glow-y." I mean, the compliment is nice, but what could this possibly be based on?
in regards to girls steal your looks and boys dont. what that is the little girls hormones clash with yours since you already have a shit load of them hence acne, and little boys dont they mesh well with yours. With my first pregnancy i asked my dr. about it and thats what she told me. the whole your glowing is cause your face is more oily.
The lack of queasyness maybe true! I had hardly any morning sickness with my son, just a strong sense of smell. When I was pregnant with my daughter I was sick every day for three months. Now I'm having baby number three and have no sickness what-so-ever, I'm thinking it's a boy... we'll see.
Well, I don't know about the morning sickness one. I was back and forth between my bed and bathroom my whole first trimester with my first son. It was horrible! I didn't have much morning sickness this time. I am craving sweets every ten minutes, and breaking out with acne with this one. Everything points to a girl, but at my ultrasound she said it looks like another boy. I don't know, I guess we will find out when the day comes...
With my first two boys I had no sickness at all just a few headaches here and there.This time I am queazy and have had several episodes of morning sickness. I cant even eat what I cook cause I the smell of the food cooking turns my stomach. So I am hoping for a girl!

I am pregnant with my 3rd, my first two were girls and I am not sure yet what this one is... I am 20weeks so I should find out soon, I have done many of these gender prediction quizzes and it seems that I am more likely to have a boy by most of them but the chinese prediction chart says girl... I even ordered one from ebay where a lady sent me a series of questions about family history etc. and that said 91% chance of a boy... I know it is just for fun and that was the purpose of it. I am also using this as kinda an experiment to see if any are actually accurate : )
Well this would explain my first preg. My sickness only came only when i went to my moms lol..............But know with this preg. I AM SICK ALL THE TIME in the morning and thew half of the day at work i am tierd too this preg is going to be a hard one...
I am expecting my first child and we chose not to find out the sex of our baby. However for the first 6 months everyone told me that I will be having a boy because of the way I am carrying. The funny thing is now that I am at 7 months, everyone is now saying I am having a girl. So weird! Time will tell...
This is my first pregnancy and the first 3 months were peachy, except for all the bloated gas/constipation but it wasn't that bad. My mom figured I was having a boy since I didn't have any major symptoms to my pregnancy. Now I'm about 17 weeks and I feel like crap. Yeah I have a long way to go, but I just count down the months closer to delivery so I can finally enjoy sushi again!
soo drano thing dont work just saying...it didnt change colors
i dont belive #10 due to the fact I have 2 boys already and i was sick w/ both the entire 1st trimester. I was even hospiatlized w/ my second one from being dehydrated from being sick so much. But w/atlease 4 its pointing to a girl. I can hardly wait for my ultrasound to tell me what Im gonna have.
My first son was high for my whole pregnancy for I dont think that one is always true
