Return to article: How to Know if You Are Having a Boy or a Girl Baby
on 4/27/2008 the part about the carrying high and low part is backwards.. girls carry high and boys carry low...thats old..i dont know how they would have gotten that wrong....and its hard to tell with the sickness...my sister had a girl first, and she is pregnant with a boy now and has had no morning sickness with either. its hard to tell..but i go by how you carry more than anything...not often is it wrong.
on 6/18/2007 I have one boy and one girl I'm expecting my third child and it's completely different to the first too. Every one keeps telling me it has to be twins, I was so sick the first twelve weeks and have allot of weight on. I can't wait till the scan. Boy or girl if they are healthy we will be very happy.
on 8/8/2006 My baby's heartbeat has been from 145-160 so far and it is a boy. So the heartbeat rate of over 130 or 140 for a girl is inaccurate in my case.
on 12/27/2007 I was so anxious to know if our first baby was a girl or a boy. I tried everything. Every single method, chart, and myth told me that we were going to be having a boy. I am carrying very high, I did not have any morning sickness at all, and my skin has not broken out one bit. They say that the Chinese birth calendar is 95% accurate, but come to find out after all of that, we are having a little girl in November.
on 6/30/2006 The way you carry the baby (high or low) is to do with the muscle tone of the mother, not the sex of the baby. Having said that, and putting my faith in science rather than superstition, I'm a total hypocrite because I'm going to try the 'needle from a thread' swinging over the bump tonight to see if it goes in a circular or straight-line motion!
on 9/21/2007 With my first son, I craved bacon, steak, hot dogs, banana snow cones and eggs. I figured it was a boy by all the meats I was wanting. Then the basketball-shaped belly began to appear and it was definitely a baby boy.
on 2/16/2006 With both my boys I carried low and my girl I carried high.
on 1/31/2006 I have three boys and they were all 134- 136 heart rate. I have a little girl and her heart rate was 140- 150.
on 12/16/2005 I don't think the heart rate thing is accurate. It's faster if your having a girl. Both my boys heart rate's were 134-136 bpm. I knew from my experience with my first boy. When I was pregnant with my second everyone said I was having a girl. I said 'No it's a boy. He has the same heart rate and I was carrying him the same way. They were both low and lay kind of sideways. I was really tired with both, but had more nausea with the second one.
on 11/22/2005 When trying for a boy, the woman should not have an orgasm. Craving chocolate candy bars and orange juice could be a hint that a boy is on the way. The classic belly that looks just like a basketball is a big clue for some. Heart burn early in pregnancy, even before a missed period, could mean a baby boy on the way. Craving a lot of high potassium foods and drinks could mean a baby boy is on board. Less or no water retention is a sign a boy is on the way for some of us. Feeling in love with the hubby could be a sign of a boy pregnancy too. High creativity in writing and poetry may say a boy is on the way. Being tired easily could be another sign you are having a boy. The Drano crystal test works, too.
on 11/22/2005 If your nails seem to grow faster than usual, then it's a boy.
on 11/22/2005 Some have said that the heartbeat of a boy is faster than the rate of a girl. 160 bpm range would indicate a boy, while 130-140 would indicate a girl.
