do you think that cravings during pregnancy linking to gender, can be similar to your own mothers cravings?

Q. What I mean is, if your mother craved cherries and other tart stuff with your brother and roast beef with you or your sister(the sweet/salt preference),do you think there is a link there? Has anyone had their own mothers guess what they were having, based on salt or sugar cravings?? I am sooo curious.

Answer
Some myths propose that if you are craving sweets during your pregnancy, you are having a girl. If you are craving spicy and salty foods, then you are having a boy.

Pregnancy Cravings and the babys gender ?

Justonefor

My older sister swears that i am going to have a boy because i have craved potatoes and salty things since i got pregnant (She has 1boy & 1 girl). I however think its going to be a girl we find out next month :)

Anyway i was just wondering did the Salty foods for a boy and Sweet foods for a girl prove to be true for anyone ? or did you prove them wrong ? any story of cravings is appreciated

Answer
Yes and no.
With my first born (daughter) I was craving ice cream ALL the time. I thought she was a girl and
I think that was my "maternal instinct" and sure enough she was.

My second, I craved mexican and salty foods early on and then before I found out it was ALL sweets again. I figured it was going to be another girl, but it turned out to be a boy.

Most of the cravings can be old wise tales. You will have to wait and see :)

Pregnancy + Cravings........?

xkiwimuffi

I've been having Terrible cravings. It's my first pregnancy and so far I've fallen in love with Pizza (used to barely tolerate it), Macaroni and Cheese (Also a tolerable but not favorite, now i'm eating it a few times a week), and Soda (A RARE thing for me, but I never was a fan of it before pregnancy)
I still love all my fruits and veggies (but fell out of love with popcorn)
but I'm puzzled..
Why would my unborn baby be making me want such horrible, greasy, carbonated food/drink?
I'm 14 weeks on monday :) They THINK it's a boy, but the technician wasn't completely sure.
Before I get scolded by nutrition-concious mothers, I have been eating spiniach or green beans with my mac, and pizza. :) I love my veggies

Answer
Pregnancy does weird things to your body. As long as you are keeping up with your fruit/vegies and taking pre-natal vitamins I wouldnt worry about the junk food to much...everything in moderation. Im craving alot of sweet food and Im supposed to be having a girl. But the cravings/gender thing is just an Old Wives Tale.

Rainey Sos

Craving crushed Ice like crazy toaster scrambles bacon egg and cheese. Scrambles eggs period,Steak,I no longer eat Turkey which is my preference when it comes to lunch meat now it's ham and I really did not like ham before this pregnancy. What gender could I be having? And could these particular food cravings be a sign????

BTW (IM craving a good seasoned Tbone Steak and Scrambled eggs with cheese right NOW!)

Answer
You might be experiencing anemia. Take iron supplements. Cravings have nothing to do with gender.
