Whether you want a boy or a girl, there are plenty of “magical” ways to predict or influence the sex of your unborn child.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Carrying High, Carrying Low: The general story goes that, if you’re carrying low, you’re having a boy. If you are carrying high, then you’re having a girl.

Daddy Gains Weight: The belief is that, if your husband puts on weight during your pregnancy, then you will be having a girl. If he doesn’t put on a pound, then you’re carrying a boy.

Is Mommy’s Face Round and Full?: If people tell you that because your face is round and rosy you are having a girl, they might be right - but then again its 50/50 right?!

You’ve got a Sweet Tooth: Many people believe that cravings are caused by the sex of your baby. Super sweet cravings, like chocolate or ice cream mean that you could be having a girl. Sour cravings like tart candy or lemon juice could be the result of the little boy inside of you.

Again, its important to remember that none of these are based on fact. Although I have been pretty good at guessing whether my friends are having boys or girls based on the “carrying low-or high” principle, but then again I’ve got a 50/50 shot every time…so the odds I’m going to be right are always decent!
