Carrying High, Carrying Low
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. But who's to say that boys don't like being lower in their mom's stomach while girls prefer a view from the top?
What Your Urine Says
This next test to determine a baby's sex may not be for everyone, although it is very simple. Just take a sample of your urine and mix it with Drano. Depending on the color change of your urine, you will have a boy or a girl. Unfortunately, there is no consensus on what color equals which sex. So, if you do decided to try this and your urine turns bluish yellow, brownish, brown, black or blue you will be having a boy. If your urine looks more greenish brown, green, blue or doesn't change at all, then you're having a girl. But be warned: if you decide to do this test, there could be some pretty harsh fumes produced - not to mention the possibility of an explosion!.
Heartbeats
One belief that has been around for some time, and even had some acceptance in the medical community at one point, is that the fetal heartbeat differs for boys and girls. If you're having a girl, then the fetal heart rate will be above 140. A boy will have a heart rate below 140. However, that pesky science has reared its little head again to say that this is complete fiction. A baby's heart rate is not affected by its sex until it is born, when a girl's heart rate will increase considerably compared with boys during labor.
Craving Something…Sweet?
Many people believe that your cravings are caused by the sex of your baby. So, if you can't get enough chocolate, you could be having a girl. Does the idea of drinking straight lemon juice sound delicious to you? Then those sour cravings are a result of the little boy inside of you. However, if you go by the scientists, then some of them will claim that you're not even having cravings because cravings just don't exist.
Weight Gain
Thankfully, this one doesn't refer to your weight gain. 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 Her Face Round and Full?
Some say that the shape and fullness of your face during pregnancy can indicate your baby's sex. Every woman gains weight differently during pregnancy, and every woman experiences different skin changes. If people tell you that because your face is round and rosy you are having a girl, they might be right - but it's just as likely that they are wrong!
At-Home Tests
Here's a test that you can do next time you change or get out of the bath. Look in the mirror at your breasts. If the right one is larger, you're having a boy! A larger left breast indicates a girl (if they're the same size, does that mean you're having one of each?).
H old a pendant over your hand. If the necklace swings back and forth, you're having a boy. If it is more of a circular motion, then it's a girl. This can also be done by suspending a ring on a string above your belly.
Do you have acne? Some believe that getting acne during your pregnancy indicates you're carrying a girl. Maybe the acne is caused by twice the amount of female hormones?
Pick up a key. If you've picked it up by the thinner end, you're having a girl. Picking it up by the bottom, rounder part means a boy is on the way. Did you pick it up by the middle? Then congratulations! You're having twins!
· Ask yourself what you think you're having. In a study that asked women with no previous knowledge about their baby's sex, the moms-to-be correctly guessed the sex of their baby 71% of the time.

Are you prettier than pre pregnancy? A girl.
Are you looking a little less pretty? A boy.
A big butt? A girl.
A belly only? A boy.
If your nose grows in the second and third trimester it is a boy.

If you are carrying to the front (and it sits high like a table) and that is where all of the weight is - you are having a boy...if you are carrying a little lower and the weight is spread around your hips and back..it generally means a girl. You probably wont be able to get a good indication of this until you are a little further along - but by then you will probably know by ultrasound. Good luck with the pregnancy :)

!!!! Use the chinese calander !!!! Nothing can actually predict the gender and be 100% reliable the only thing that will be 100% reliable is after birth when you see it....All the old wives tales told me I was having a girl with my first pregnancy and I had twin boys but the second time around it told me I was having a boy and I did have another boy...there is a 50/50 chance...good luck!!!

1. If you hold the baby low it tends more to be a boy
2. Ask your husband what he is hoping for, more times than not, that's what you're having.
3. Even when you get the test done and they tell you.. 'its a ...' just know that 15-20% of the time they are wrong anyway

I dont know whether this will help but I heard that baby boys lie further down in the womb, so you feel the baby further down in your abdomen then it may be a boy. I hope you find out soon!

There are lots of old wives tales, but just remember, that's exactly what they are, tales... Not based on anything factual! I know it's fun and the quizzes I did were all correct, but that was just coincidence! Click the link and do the quiz, enjoy!

Mine were girls at front, boys weight all over, hair shinier and healthier appearnance with girls. Also more angry and stressed with girls more placid with boys. All women are different though so dont go by this
