    The myths!

    I know at least this one is a myth. First let me start with the story, i was at the store and needed something to munch on before I got to sick. Well my husband told the cashier that i was pregnant....and she immediately said a boy! Ok first off...i have barely a little itty bitty baby bump...could definitely be mistaken for bloating...how do people guess at these things? I know the myth that boys carry higher than girls or which ever way it is, but i just thought it was funny and was wondering what are some of the funny pregnancy myths you have heard? Someone also told me that i can't stretch with my hands above my head because I would cut off circulation the baby!! Anyway...just wanted to start a discussion!

    Re: The myths!

    i know in my town there is a blind lady that can tell what you are having by just sitting in a room with her, my firend just found out she was preggy me and her only knew we went to visit this lady and first thing she told was was to be quite and listen, we thought nothing of it and in front of 4 other ppl she just blurted out someone in this room is pregnant, i was shocked some ppl have that gift....  I heard about the raising the arms above your head is not good... I also hear that you cant go to funerals when you are preggy casue the spirit might enter the baby.. or the dont jump to hard you might have the baby disattach from you... These are all funny..

    I would keep a little book about what ppl say it is a boy and what ppl say it is a girl.. would be neat in the end....  Also i have had three kids and i have noticed with my girls i carried very low and my belly button pointed to the ground do you know what i mean?? lol

    How funny, i guess since this is my first i don't know what to believe. I hear so many conflicting stories and "myths"...hard to sort them all out! Thats a great idea about the book of who says boy and girl...thanks!!

    I have a couple fun Myths, Old Wive's Tales etc.....

    OK.  My favorite & this is spooky but it's worked for everyone I know that had their baby already!<p>

    If you conceived the baby while facing (or laying) East and West it will be a GIRL.<p>

    If you conceived the baby while facing (or laying) North & South it will be a BOY.<p>

    Cute Huh!

    Also I love using this Chinese conception chart.. it's alot of fun.   http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/chinese-birth-chart.html <p>

    Enjoy!
