shape of your bump reveals gender of baby?

[yonge]

I carried three boys, looked like I was carrying boys (pointy), scans confirmed early on they were boys and deep inside, I knew they were boys, too. Had a girl's name picked out - just in case, which I loved, but knew I wouldn't get to use it. Sigh. I think I'm done!

I'm on my second now, and I'm pretty much the same shape as the first, but even more pointy. I've only a month to go so I don't think I'll change too much. My first was a boy and this one is a girl. I guess for some it just depends on how your body carries the pregnancy.

Everyone thought I was going to have a boy with my last pregnancy because I carried low, but alas I have two girls.

Hahaha I don't think it does, cause mine is a bit pointy and I am having a baby girl.

In Italy we say the same as Chinese does: pointed and high belly is a boy, round and low belly is a girl.
well now I'm carrying a baby boy and my belly is really up and pointed...

i say go with the colour of your nipples they say boys = darker nipples girls =lighter or the same during pregnancy, was true for me and a couple of my friends that knew about it

 

[Zoska]

My nipples are way darker and I m having a girl. As for the belly it is pointy and highish...everyone thinks I m caring a boy. Chinese people get suprise if I say that I m having a girl. I guess it really depends on your body!

 

[midwife]

no, actually i can not observe that. i saw many pregnant woman, sometimes it was right sometimes not. I think its 50:50 so a good chance to be right.. but its fun.. so a nice "game"..

There's really no scientific proof to this (though they say the shape would depend on uterus, placenta, etc), but it's fun. I had a high and really round belly (so perfectly round I got compliments a lot) and I'm petite. The locales predicted I was gonna have a boy and they're surprised whenever we say it's a girl and yet they still insisted my u/s's wrong and I was really gonna have a boy and I might have twins too! Alas, it's a girl on the u/s it's clear as daylight her legs are wide open announcing to the world she's a girl and no twin! The Chinese calendar is also fun and it was true for us.

It is a myth on that pointed belly means boy or rounded means girl. Everyone also thought i am expecting a boy but its a girl...
