Weight gain = Gender?

Question

So my husband and I are having our last baby, and we’ve opted not to find out the gender in order to avoid all the commentary that comes with it. Well it’s backfired, and now all the know-it-all’s insist I’m having a boy because I haven’t gained much weight and it’s all in my belly. I am praying I have a girl just to prove them wrong (I know I’m being super immature but I blame the hormones). Any ladies out there carried one way/gained or didn’t gain/proved the old wives tales wrong? I know we can never stop other people opinions but I’d love this one to backfire!

Answer

I’m having a girl and I’m told every day how ive only gained in my belly. Ive not even gained 20 lbs and I’m 33 weeks.

Answer

I gained 25 with both daughters and currently at 12 lbs 32 weeks pregnant with a boy so I’m thinking I’ll be about the same maybe a little less. Don’t think gender matters!

Answer

All old wives tales are a bunch of rubbish. Of course people are going to try and guess the gender because you don’t know. If it bothers you that much tell them to stop

Answer

I gained 35lbs with my son. I’m now 32 weeks with a girl and I’ve gained 4lbs. Weight gain means nothing.

Answer

My girl on top and boy on the bottom. They look the same to me! And weight gain has also been really similar.

Answer

Gained 35 pounds w my first: boy. Gained 12 with my second: girl. So far I’ve gained 20 with this one, also a girl. I’m 32, almost 33 weeks and haven’t gained weight in 3 weeks.

Answer

Lol sorry, I would tell them to stick it. I'm having a boy and have gained 20 pounds already! Not all in the belly. Like another poster said old wives tales are just tales. It's like the heart rate one, my little dude has always had a higher heartrate, despite the old wives tale.

Answer

You can’t tell a babies gender by how much weight you’ve gained or by your skin or how you’re carrying. I’ve had multiple people telling me I’m having a boy and It’s actually a girl lol.
With my first (boy) I lost more weight than I gained and I carried very high and rather flat. My skin was glowing and I felt great. My second was a girl and I gained like 25 pounds and looked like a whale. Carried very low and my belly stuck out all the way. My skin and hair went to absolute shit and I had crazy hair growth.Now my third is a girl as well. I gained like 5 pounds only so far but my belly is huge again. I’m not as low as last time though. My skin and hair are great (not glowing like with my son but still)

Answer

I lost 48lbs while pregnant with my daughter and am currently preggo with our boy and have only gained 2lbs

Answer

I gained like 70lb with my first son. I was a WHALE. This baby is also a boy and I’ve gained 30 at 30 weeks but I’m half the size.
