BTW - my family isn't really superstitious but sometimes that follow that one. It's pretty funny :)
I'm not pregnant but I love listening to older women giving their reasons for why they know a coworker is carrying a boy or a girl.
I think the ones that try to predict the sex of the baby are kind of funny. Like if the woman is carrying high vs. low, or if her butt gets rounder or flatter. I think there is also one about tying her wedding band to a string and letting it hang over her belly and whether it starts swinging left/right or up/down that determines it.
what's a stye? and deny her what? Is it bad that my mind immediately went into the gutter?
@daydreamwanderer - They can't deny a preggie woman anything. Like if I ask someone to get me something or go somewhere with me and they can't they are denying me something. OR if I crave something and they don't give it to me. Something like that I am sure.
A sty is a small bubble that usually appears on or around the eye lid area.
I love the ones about how pregnancy cravings are all tied to something your body is craving nutritionally. So if you want ice cream, you need calcium; if you want pickles, you need sodium. I'm pretty sure when I want pizza now it's for the same reason I wanted pizza 6 months ago, but I tell my husband it's because I'm nutritionally deficient of some mysterious pizza vitamin. He always gives in. :)
@Mrs. Spring - So he has learned not to deny you... No sty for him :)
Heartburn = Lots of hair
That is one I have heard a lot.
I don't know if this counts, but when my aunt was TTC my grandma kept telling her to take multivitamins because "there's a baby at the bottom of every bottle".
My mom has one that she swears by: If you pass your due date, eat Kraft Mac and Cheese with A1 sauce mixed in. You'll go into labor within 24 hours. She was told that when she was pregnant with my older sister (it worked for her), and it has worked for everyone she knows who was overdue!
@bree - I wonder if it has something to do with the spices of the A1? I believe I have heard that docs may have suggested spicy foods to help trigger a birth for someone whose birth wasn't moving along or late. Of course, I can be wrong :)
Also, the one about how most women give birth under a full moon. :) I can't think of any more right now but I used to know loads. Also, the one about the wedding band is, you put your wedding band on a string or necklace chain, lay flat on your back and position the ring RIGHT above your navel. Hold perfectly still and the chain will start moving. If It moves back and forth, you're going to have a boy, if it moves in a circle, you're going to have a girl. :)
@ MrsSpinella: I wrote a post about this awhile ago, and you don't even have to be pregnant to do it!

Vacuming will cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the baby's neck, so does putting your arms over your head.
You should vigorously rub your nipples with a wash cloth to get them ready to breastfeed.
Girls steal your looks while you're pregnant with them and boys make you prettier.
There are so many but those are the ones I can remember right now!

I believe that is the correct term for these sayings - if not, you can correct me.
My favorite is: If you deny a pregnant woman you get a sty in your eye.
Anyone ever hear of that one? What are some of your favorites or ones you have heard?
