Here’s yet another old wives’ tale you have probably heard. The one about how you carry your baby. If you’ve ever been pregnant you have probably even experienced your share of strangers coming up to comment on the way the baby looks to be positioned in your stomach. Allegedly, if you are carrying your baby high you are having a girl if you carry low you’re having a boy.
Another version of the tale says that if you carry most of your weight in the front like a basketball, you’re having a boy and if your weight is more spread out across your midsection, it’s a girl. However, in reality, your body size and stature are more responsible for how you will hold your baby.
