SO, someone in my mom's family is CONVINCED I'm having a girl because...
She said I've gotten quite ugly! EXCUSE ME?!?!?!? EVERYONE'S mouth dropped wide open when she said this to me, and her response was, "What? They do say a girl steals your beauty!"  As if I'm not feeling crappy enough about myself lately.

Well, to make it worse, she said to everyone after that, "Well, you may not see it now, but this time next year, you'll look back and say, WOW! She really didn't look so good!"

That is so rude.
First of all, I'm sure you look just as beautiful as always, and secondly, you should have said to her
"Yeah, well I'm pregnant, what's YOUR excuse?!"
I had a similar comment like this from a client a while back...The NERVE! Just try not to let it get to you.

Ok, to make it funny, then she was telling JT how she's a crossing guard at a high school, and she knows the boys consider her a MILF. Um, ok, not with that fat azz!

How RUDE!!! Some people just don't know when to keep their mouths shut! Apparently she never learned "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all".I'm sure you are as beautiful as always

I got this too! More than once! I was told "you can tell you are having a girl, they say they **** the beauty out of you". People are so rude.
I did have a girl, though.

I read this before. It is a myth. I can't believe someone would every say such a thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The nerve of people.
Here's a list I found:
* The Spicy Food Fraud
Spicy food will bring on labor. "For the most part, pregnant women can eat just about anything, but there are certain foods that we tell them to look out for, or to try and avoid," says Dr. Stone. Those include very soft cheeses, unpasteurized cheeses and raw-milk cheese. Though rare, they may contain a bacteria called lysteria that has been associated with miscarriage or pre-term labor.
* The Fetal Heart Rate Fallacy
If your baby's heart is low, you're carrying a boy. If it's high, it's a girl.
* The You-Can't-Be-Too Careful Yarn
If a pregnant woman raises her hands above her head, she'll choke her baby.
* The Steamy Sex Superstition
Making mad, passionate love will induce labor. "Sex is not going to cause you to go into labor, but we tell people to go ahead anyway," says Dr. Stone. "It's worth trying."
* The Old Heartburn Harangue
If a pregnant woman has frequent heartburn, her baby will have a full head of hair.
* The Sty-in-the-Eye-Lie
Those who deny a pregnant woman the food she craves will get a sty in their eye.
* The Ugly Stick Trick
If a pregnant woman sees something ugly or horrible, her baby will be ugly. "That one's wrong on two counts — one is there's no scientific evidence, but number two is that there's no such thing as an ugly baby," says Dr. Eddleman.
* The Old Java Jive
A baby born with light brown birthmarks (known as cafe au lait spots), the mother drank too much coffee or had unfulfilled cravings during her pregnancy. Again, a myth!
* The Gender Bender
If a pregnant woman's face breaks out, she is carrying a girl who will steal all of her mother's beauty. Says Dr. Stone: "The thing about it is that it's so chauvinistic — why is it that a girl's going to steal her mother's beauty? — anyway, it's not true, it's ridiculous.
* The Poor Complexion Connection
A woman who carries wide, is having a girl. A woman who carried forward, is having a boy. "It's a common myth, but it's not true," says Dr. Eddleman.

Re: SO, someone in my mom's family is CONVINCED I'm having a girl because...
I just don't understand why people think it's ok to say things that are just horrible just because your pregnant! They would NEVER dare to say that to someone who isn't pregnant! That's an awful thing to say... I'm sorry... I got plenty of those comments while I was pregnant, more so the "wow, you're getting plump/fat/heavy" comments And it doesn't end there! 8 weeks after I delivered I went into work to show off the baby... one of the secretaries came up to me, slapped me on my hip and said, "I'm going to start calling you hip-py now!"
