  • @babiescomin2011 yea me too! it was always really bad...but just this week, ive woken up 2wice in the middle of the night with serious heartburn :( thats never happened b4... it suxx
  • i had sever heart burn and both my sons were so hairy!!!!!!!!!


    hmm other old wives tales i have heard:

    *Legend has it that if you’re carrying low, you’re carrying a boy; a higher bump means a little girl. Some claim that if you carry in front, you’re expecting a boy; expand horizontally and wait for a girl. Science begs to differ. The way you carry your unborn has nothing to do with gender. Muscle, uterine tone and the baby’s position dictate how you carry.

    * the changes in your body will tell you the gender of your baby. While none of them have any basis in scientific fact, it’s certainly amusing to speculate based on the following observations: a girl steals her mother’s beauty; a girl causes acne; dry hands indicate a boy; cold feet point to a boy; a larger left breast indicates a girl; dark nipples are signs of a son.

    *Tale: If you hold your hands above your head, your unborn offspring will be strangled by the umbilical cord. It’s a terrifying thought, and a completely unnecessary fear. Your physical movements will not dictate the position of the umbilical cord; the activeness of the little one will partially determine this. Almost one-third of all births have the cord around the neck; you cannot strangle your infant from activity while pregnant.

    *Another strange superstition is that wearing a lei causes umbilical cord strangulation. Clearly, superstition does not need to be based in reality

    *Some swear by these fun gender-predictors. Using a string, hand your wedding ring over your belly. If it swings back and forth, expect a girl; swinging in a circle promises a boy. The opposite is true (back and forth means a boy) if you hold a necklace over your hand.


    *This old wives tale is fun to hang over Tarzan’s head. Basically if anyone denies a pregnant woman whatever she is craving, they will get a sty in his/her eye. Personally, I think all men should read this and always give into whatever us pregnant women want! For their own benefit, of course.

    *A full moon was believed to cause a woman to go into labor and give birth.

    *If a toddler boy expresses interest in a pregnant woman, she is having a girl. If he doesn’t show interest, she’s having a boy.


  • Wasnt true for me I hope it is this time tho
  • U ladies r funny! Baby chewbacca cracked me up! I just started having heartburn but its not bad. When I went to my 3d ultrasound at 28 weeks she didn't have hair. My firstborn had hair but it ended up falling off. @mamato2boys I heard some of.those too. The carrying low or high thing...I wonder.how ppl came.up with that one. My mom said I look like the shape of my tummy is a boy. Umm no mom I'm having a girl. Some of those wives tales r crazy.
