For starters, I started progesterone supplements immediately after finding out I was pregnant and I had early ultrasounds right away.
With Lakelyn:
Heart Rate: If the heart rate beats faster than 140bpm the tale says girl, less than 140 says boy.
-her heartrate on ultrasound was always around 150bpm.
Shape of Belly: If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy.
-i'd say my belly with her was round!
Carrying high or low: If you carry high the tale says girl, carrying low says boy.
-my torso is not long at all so it felt like I was carrying her low, but I had several people say I was carrying her high.
Acne: If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones
-I did not have acne while I was pregnant, my skin used to be oily until I got pregnant with her then it got really dry. Once I got into the second trimester though it cleared up and was great!
Cravings: People believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl
-I didn't really have cravings, but if I were given the option of meat or cake, i'd choose the cake (or fruits) which was not like me. Before pregnancy I would always choose a second round of meat vs. dessert.
Mom's Beauty: Basically you are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, a little boy it is.
-During my first trimester with Lakelyn I definitely feel like she stole my beauty
Dreaming of Gender: If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy.
-I cannot remember. I do believe the night before our gender reveal I dreamt boy.
Clumsy vs Graceful: If the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she’s having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she’s having a boy.
-eh I cannot remember
Side you rest on: If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl.
-again, i'm not sure. I just know towards the end I tossed and turned so I was sleeping on all sides.
Dad's weight: If dad is gaining just as much weight, signs say girl.
- I think Tyler did gain weight when I was pregnant with her. I do remember him having sweet cravings during her pregnancy lol.
Morning sickness: Tons of morning sickness points to girl, little to no morning sickness points to boy.
-I remember being so nauseated all of the time with her. It was like every morning until about 10-11 weeks I believe. I was having to take Zofran everyday. I never actually vomited, but nausea was horrible.
Headaches: If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy.
-I've been a headache sufferer my entire life. My headaches actually got better while I was pregnant, but around 12 weeks/beginning of second trimester I was waking up with headaches every day. This went on for a couple of weeks.
Protein: If you are only wanting meats or cheese signs say boy.
-I was fine with chicken, but any red meats made me want to barf!
Hairy: If you notice your legs have more hair than usual signs point to boy!
-I don't think I was all that hairy while pregnant with her. If I was maybe I just didn't care because it was winter and I wore jeans all of the time :)

-predicts girl
This Pregnancy:
Heart Rate: If the heart rate beats faster than 140bpm the tale says girl, less than 140 says boy.
-The first ultrasound we saw the heartbeat it was 127bpm, the second was 160 something bpm I believe. So that is total opposite sides of the scale there.
Shape of Belly: If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy.
-I'm only 12 weeks so I can't really tell.
Carrying high or low: If you carry high the tale says girl, carrying low says boy.
-Again, I'm only 12 weeks so its hard to tell, but I feel like this one is lower? At least when I found the heartbeat on the Doppler it was wayyy down lower by my pubic bone, with Lakelyn she was way up high near my belly button.
Acne: If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones
-No acne really.
Cravings: People believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl
-Definitely more on the salty side. Sweets and fruits made me nauseated during the first trimester.
Mom's Beauty: Basically you are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, a little boy it is.
-I don't think there was much change in my "beauty" this time.
Dreaming of Gender: If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy.
-I've only had one dream and it was that I had a boy.
Clumsy vs Graceful: If the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she’s having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she’s having a boy.
-eh, i'm not really sure.
Side you rest on: If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl.
-I sleep on both sides, but I typically have been turning on my left to fall asleep.
Dad's weight: If dad is gaining just as much weight, signs say girl.
-So far I think he is holding steady. It is the summer time still though. It could change.
Morning sickness: Tons of morning sickness points to girl, little to no morning sickness points to boy.
-The nausea held off longer before starting this time and it wasn't everyday. It was more random and I still needed meds, but I didn't need them everyday like I did with Lakelyn.
Headaches:If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy.
-I have only had 1 headache so far and it did last 2 days at 12 weeks. Still have a ways to go, but overall i'd say its been fairly headache free.
Protein: If you are only wanting meats or cheese signs say boy.
-I'm much better with red meats this time, but still can't manage to even try to eat steak. It makes me want to vomit. Cheeseburgers have been at the top of the list of foods to eat.
Hairy: If you notice your legs have more hair than usual signs point to boy!
-I do feel like my legs are a lot hairier this time. I feel like I shave and the next day I need to shave again. It could just be because its summer and i'm having to wear shorts!

Overall, my pregnancy with Lakelyn was for the most part a typical "girl" pregnancy and so far this one seems to be more "boy". I feel like this one is a boy, but I also think that maybe I just want a boy so i'm making it seem more boy? We will find out in 19 days!
