What are some funny or not-so funny old wives tales that you've heard about pregnancy?
My favorites:
If you crave healthy food it is a girl, junk food its a boy
If you gain weight/lose your "looks" in your face its a girl stealing your beauty
If you raise your hand above your head the cord will be wrapped around the baby's neck
If you sleep or lay on your stomach you'll suffocate the baby

i've got some:
if your stomach is pointed, its a boy. if its round, its a girl.
eating twin bananas means your carrying twins.
if you become more beautiful during pregnancy, its a girl. if you become less yourself, its a boy.
itching stomach means your baby has lots of hair (so not true, my mother itched so much when she was carrying me, but when i got out, i was bald!lol!
if you crave chocolates, your child will be dark skinned.
these beliefs amuses me to no end. =)

I think its funny how there are contradicting ones out there! I kept getting told I was going to have a boy because my skin cleared up and I looked better than i did pre-pregnancy (its a girl, btw). I've never heard the chocolate - dark skinned one! If my kid comes out dark skinned my husband and I who are both REALLY white are going to have some issues! :)
I've also heard that heartburn means the baby has a lot of hair. I'm glad it isn't true because so far I've had no heartburn!

If your stomach forms like a ball it's a boy, when it's shape like flatten its a girl...
