i think people say that if your face changes.. i have been pregnant only with boys and my face never changed at all so maybe its got some truth to it..
that being said.. i haven't seen pics of you so i'm just speculating! Chat Icon

I have heard both Chat Icon and Chat Icon . i think people look at the way you carry and your face to look for changes

They say when you have a girl, your face changes, and you carry all over, rather than just in your belly area.
I found (and still find, even though I'm no longer pregnant) it incredibly rude when people tell you you're having a girl.

I *think* w/ a girl you get wider in the rear Chat Icon . I remember someone once said to me "turn around," and when I did they said "you are def having a girl!" Gee thanks!! Chat Icon They were right though! Chat Icon

On the face thing, when I was preggo w/ dd my mom kept saying I was having a boy b/c of how "good" my face looked. I think they say the girl steals all your beauty.

When I was PG people said Girls take your beauty. Some one told me that then a few weeks later said I was going to have a girl. That definitely made me wonder. A few months later I had one HANDSOME Son Chat Icon

Re: Everyone at work says I am having a girl, why??

I got the saaame thing in the days leading up to my Level II. I just didn't get why all these moms were telling me I was having a girl! It was driving me nuts, and it finally convinced me! Chat Icon They said they just 'knew' and it was something in my face, yet they never said it really 'changed.' I honestly don't think it changed, but....who knows how people just 'know'! They were nice enough to not say it was related to the size of my butt or how I was carrying.Chat Icon

Re: Everyone at work says I am having a girl, why??

EVERYONE told me I was having a girl, they said it was because I am sooooooo girly and can see me with a little girl. As soon as I got my BFP I thought to myself, "boy"!. As it turns out...I was right!

Re: Everyone at work says I am having a girl, why??

I'm so amazed when people don't realize (or maybe care) that they are insulting someone.
I've been told by some women that I'm having a girl because my face has changed. I don't see it - and I know they don't mean it in a bad way - but I know someone who was told by a coworker she could tell she was having a girl - and in the same breath the woman says "girls suck the beauty out of you." Chat Icon Who says that and doesn't have enough sense to realize how insulting it is?! Chat Icon

ETA - the woman was crazy because this girl who was pregnant is beautiful! Her face looked a little rounded out, but didn't seem any different then when she had her son.

I don't know why people say that...everyone at my job has been telling me I am having a girl...well ta-da...they are wrong...I am having a boy! Of course now people are all saying, "I knew it!"...whatever. Don't even listen to them!

Im having a Chat Icon and my face hasn't changed at all. DH actually commented that it looks thinner than normal. Maybe the fat from my face moved to my arms!!Chat Icon

Re: Everyone at work says I am having a girl, why??

in my family they say that a girl takes away your beauty. and once we found out we're having a Chat Icon my mom said, i told you your having a girl bc your face changed. Chat Icon Chat Icon honestly i dont see a change, and others thought my face didnt change at all so they thought i was carrying a boy.
everyone has their own little superstitions

Re: Everyone at work says I am having a girl, why??

People say they can tell it's a girl for me because my belly is high and that I am staying narrow, only growing forward.

This is me at 25 weeks and you can't really tell from the front. The side is another story:

I've heard the whole "girls take the beauty out of you" theory but no ones has been brave enough to say it to my face! LOL

Re: Everyone at work says I am having a girl, why??

I have been told when your belly is very "round" it's a girl and when it's a boy, your belly looks more "pointy" if that makes sense....
