7 myths about predicting the sex of your child.?

1. Heartrate "A heartrate of less than 140 beats per minute means that you're having a boy while a heartrate of over 140 beats per minute means that you're having a girl." Although this particular myth has been kicking around for decades, there's only one study on the books that supports it: a 1993 study at the University of Kentucky that concluded that the fetal heartbeat could be used to correctly predict the gender of 91% of male fetuses and 74% of female fetuses. Every other study conducted before or since has reached the exact opposite conclusion -- that the fetal heart-rate can't be used to predict the gender of your baby.

Answer:
It's all nonsense - if you want to know the sex of your baby beforehand, just have a scan. I have a beautiful baby boy, I craved chocolate, my baby hardly ever moved, and I had sickness for the first four months of pregnancy - and about the shape - well, I've seen women with all varying shapes, and there hasn't seemed to be any pattern with regards to sex. It's all tales!
it is very true!
mom told me some of them!

here in Puerto Rico happens too!
My friends have had about a 50/50 deal with the Chinese conception charts, strangely enough it seems to work less well on the girls who have a birthday while the child is developing. If that means anything. My mother SWEARS on the heartbeat thing, and keeps hounding me that it must be completely true. I said something to my doctor about it being an old wives tale, and she said, "Sometimes." She went on to tell me that it is fairly accurate, but only in about 60-70% of cases, because other things - medication, etc. - can make the baby's heartbeat faster or slower.
don't go by the morning sickness one, i had severe morning sickness and i had a boy!
