shape of your bump reveals gender of baby?

Is the Chinese 'belly shape tells gender' accurate for you?

Oh wow, never heard of that really. I've got many friend who have babies, but we all had to wait for 4 months to know! Does all doctors do these kind of tests? I've got a boy as well.....he's now 7 months old.
 
Actually this is the folk wisdom in the US too, and it turned out to be accurate for me and for most of the ladies in my pregnancy classes. I looked like I was carrying a basketball under my shirt, but you couldn't tell I was pregnant from behind! ANd yes, it was a boy ...
 
For my last pregnancy my belly was really pointed and nobody could tell I was pregnant from behind, and I was carrying a boy. I'm pregnant with 2nd one and am in week 27. People still can't tell I'm pregnant from behind, but my belly is obviously rounder. And I'm carrying a girl.
My skin and body shape is definitely better with this pregnancy, so I think I'm lucky the jealousy between mothers and daughters doesn't seem to apply to me ;)
 
I had a boy first time around and now pregnant with a girl. I have definitely put on more weight across my bum this time. Feeling enormous!!
 
with me everyone said I was carrying a boy the first time because you couldn't tell from the back side and it didn't look like a "watermelon" as they say...but it was a girl...so it's hard to say! :)
 
The first time I was carrying a girl my belly was more round and weight was distributed all across. With a boy now my belly is pointed.
 
WELL. EVERYONE said I was carrying a girl because of the shape of my belly. My HK doctor told me 4 times through the ultrasounds that I was carrying a girl. Then I went to Aus (to have the baby) and the doctor there told me I was carrying a girl too. The whole time I was convinced I was having a boy. I just had this feeling. Then I had the 3D ultrasound and she said I was definitely having a boy! Gave me picture proof! I was soooo not surprised because I really had known all along! The day before my 3D ultrasound my mum had said 'come on Lisa, it's a girl. Let's go buy pink stuff'. And I gave in because so many ultrasounds had said girl. Luckily we kept the receipts so I could get blue stuff instead hehe.
ANYWAY to answer the question, they were ALL wrong and I was RIGHT. :)
