 Topic: How did you carry your bump.... and ....
Posted: 22 May 2007 at 9:43pm |
What did you have?
you know the old wives tales about carrying high, low, in front etc meaning a boy or a girl.....well I'm curious to know what people have had.
I am carrying all out the front and quite low....wonder what that will mean (I know, i know, probably nothing)
worth a laugh

How did I carry my bump? Badly 
JK, with Maya I just got fat all over, with the gremlins I carried all in front and really, really high (2/3 of my bump was above my belly button  )

Hell all I can remember is me having a big bump. Now hubby wants to see the first scan. At 5 weeks he was able to tell me it was a girl. And so far with all our friends he saw the first scan and was able to tell from that and what the heart rate was. And wasnt wrong yet.
I say just damn good luck so far.

I've been sooooo lucky....my arse is the last place I ever gain weight and I havent gained any weight there with this pregnancy.....I know it sounds good to have an arse that doesnt get big....but when your top half does, you kinda wish the bottom would get bigger to even it out

I am carrying low but not too much out the front, no weight on anywhere other than bump (but was big to begin with) and it is a girl.
At antenatal tonight we were comparing bumps and genders and there was no similarity whatesoever between those carrying one gender compared to the other, they were all different shapes and sizes!

I've gained in my butt, hips, thighs and my bump feels big and it's a boy (had 2 scans that confirmed this) and his heartrate is not what the old wives tales would call a boys heartrate. It's quite high.

hehehe i looked like i had stashed a basketball under my top too - so i was told on numerous occasions.
So; out front & down low = male for me.
This time is similar but my ball is smaller & apparently another male

Can sent both. But he usually has done it with the earlier one. He also going to ask what the heartrate was. And in SA you usually get a scan at 8 weeks and the heartrate from that.
Hey he has a 50% chance of being correct here. lol. I just think it was luck all the way so far to be honest with you.

my bumps both looked the same. if you look at both pics i had taken of the 2, you would think they were the same bump! one was a breech boy and the other was a head down girl 
heartrates were always within 1 or 2 beats of each other at the same week stage too! 144-150bpm

NAH i dont beleive those old wives tales!! i havnt put on any weight except for my bump and its all out the front!! and im carrying a boy plus im also carrying really high which is meant to mean girl but nop def a boy!
When i was pregga with Bay i didnt put on any extra blub and i carrying down real low.
My sis carried low but put on tonnes!!! of weight everywhere!! and she had a boy.
I went through all these old wives tales when i first got pregnant and wasnt able to find any truth to them! if anything they were all the opposite!!
Oh i forgot to say that my MW was so sure that bubs was a girl as his heart rate has always been between 150-160bpm!! but nop hes a boy just an active one!

I carried all out front, quite high, and like a basketball. I put on a small bit of weight in my thighs and butt, but not much - I only really noticed when it was gone that it had been there in the first place! My theory is..... and this is just my theory..... With boys you carry out front like a basket ball, and with girls you carry all the way round. I've been about 80% accurate with my guesses so far of friends bumps.
