Old wives' baby tales about baby gender

Can you trust all those old wives' tales you hear about baby gender? Most likely no. Most of these tales aren't grounded in fact, but myth. For example...

• If you're carrying high it's a boy - not true. In fact I carried low and had a boy. There was some actual research about this tale done at John Hopkins a while back, and they found no connection between how you carry and the gender of your baby.
• If you want sweet foods you're carrying a girl. If you want meat or salt it's a boy. OK in my case this was true. Me a vegetarian REALLY wanted a hamburger during my entire pregnancy. I didn't have one, but man did I want one. Still, food cravings are likely related to your personal preferences and nutritional standing. For example, my midwife thought I wanted meat because my protein level was a little low.
• If your face is round you're having a girl, and if your face is long and narrow you're having a boy. Well, all I can say here is that plenty of women with all sorts of face shapes have both boy and girl babies - so, not true.
