Okay... its Jamie... I'm going to add to Steve's list. He put stars by his and bolded them. I will also bold, add a +, and probably make some sort of comment, because I can never resist that. Actually I might comment on a lot of them.
You're more likely to be carrying a boy if...
- Your baby's heartbeat is lower than 140 beats per minute
- you're carrying all out front
- you're carrying low
- you're blooming in pregnancy (?)
- you didn't suffer from morning sickness in your first trimester
- your right breast is bigger than your left
- you look at yourself in the mirror for at least a minute and your pupils dilate
- you crave salty food or protein, such as cheese and meat (Just cheese, no other salts... so I don't think this counts)
- your feet become cold more quickly than before you were pregnant
- you tie your wedding ring to some thread, hang it over your stomach and it moves in circles
- your skin becomes dry + (I read this is common to all pregnancy)
- you combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number is even
- your hair has become more full-bodied and shiny during pregnancy
- the hair on your legs has been growing faster during pregnancy
- you are more prone to headaches
- your pillow faces north when you sleep (How can you tell which direction a pillow faces???)
- you're asked to show your hands and you present them palms down
- you lie on your left side when sleeping (I lie facing away from the middle usually, because I don't like facing into that little dip in the middle of the mattress. Does that say something about the baby?)
- your urine is bright yellow + (Pregnancy is all about TMI)
- you were the more aggressive partner during love-making when you conceived
- you eat a clove of garlic and the smell seeps out of your pores (Eat a whole clove of garlic?!?! I can't even eat normal food!!! Actually, I'm having a garlic aversion... Maybe we're having a baby vampire?)
- your previous child's first word was "dada".
- Your baby's heartbeat is faster than 140 beats per minute*
- you're carrying all round
- you're carrying high
- you've missed the "blooming" period altogether + (Since I'm not sure what this is, I'm assuming I haven't experienced it. Unless it has something to do with laying on the couch for 6 weeks, or they're referring to my waist expansion!)
- you suffered morning sickness during your first twelve weeks*
- your left breast is bigger than your right
- you look at yourself in the mirror for at least a minute, but your pupils don't dilate
- you crave sweet things, such as juice, fruit and sweets*
- you tie your wedding ring to some thread, hang it over your stomach and it swings from side to side
- your skin is soft
- you are more moody than usual + (Angry! Not at Steve, usually at someone at work. Or bad drivers. Haha.)
- you're asked to show your hands and you present them palms up
- you were the less aggressive partner during love-making when you conceived
- you eat a clove of garlic, but you don't smell of it
- you combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number is odd*
- your hair has become thinner and dull during pregnancy + (I don't think it's thinner, but its definitely less cooperative.)
- you lie on your right side when sleeping
- your pillow faces south when you sleep
- your urine is dull yellow
- your previous child's first word was "mama".
Boy Myth Points - 0.
Girl Myth Points - 4.
We shall update the points as we do some more tests (checking hair vibrance, eating garlic, observing pee color, etc)...
After Jamie's Contribution
Boy Myth Points - 2.
Girl Myth Points - 7.
If these weren't myths, I'd say the evidence greatly supports what the polls are saying--girl! Only about a month until we find out, myth-free!
