There isn't one specific way anyone carries either sex, but I always hear stories about girls being carried low and "watermellon" like. Boys are carried high and like a basketball. In my personal experience, I'm having a boy and carrying low and like a basketball. It all depends on your body type, how strong your stomach muscles are and how many children you've had previously.

No, it's an old wives tale.
"The way you are carrying during your pregnancy is one of the most oft cited ways of determining the sex of your baby. The general story goes that, if you're carrying low, you're having a boy. If you are carrying high, then you must be having a girl. Science says "NO, NO, NO!" to this: the way you carry is determined by muscle and uterine tone as well as the position of your baby."

I have heard myths but i only have one pregnancy to go by. I am pregnant with a boy and im carrying him low. I don't know though because a friend of mine had a boy, and carried him very high. It just depends, i wouldnt go by that myth.

Sometimes, but mostly an old wives tale. My friend's mom told me that i was carrying a boy but i had a girl so not always predictable

I've heard basketball bellys are boys and watermelon bellys are girls. But I am all out front like a basketball and carrying a baby girl. So I guess thats not reliable.

i have always heard that boys carry low and girls carry high. everyone says its a wives tale, but every pregnant person i have known has followed suit. also, with girls pregnancy is all belly. boys you're pregnant "all over"

it is an old wives tale but when my mom was pregnant she carried me differently from how she carried my brother. same with my sister in law with her baby girl and toddler boy.

i agree old wise tales. My gram insisted that woman in our family had boys if they carried high. Sure that held true for me but not for my sister.

I'm not sure if it's proven or not but they say boys are carried high and girls carry low.

Nope. That's an Old Wives' Tale.
