People do say that is you carry round the back i.e bum you having a boy adn of you all round the front its a girl, well its all old wives tales so dont be taken in by it.

I will say onthe other hand i have had three boys and i had a big bum, still cant bloody get rid of it!! lol

The thrush bit i did get too, but i would say to speak to your doctor to get it treated, i had pessaries they are find to use whilst pregnant.

i had it once.......im ashamed to say live yoghurt left in/on overnight for a few nights completly cleared it up!! and its cooling too! How gross are us preggers lot?!! also, to make sure it doesnt come back try and eat them everyday. (it works by the cultures eating all the bacteria and resoring the balance of good bacteria in your lady bits!!). And wear pantie liners!! I do. xxxx it will all be over soon, chin up!

I always was told if you are carrying out the front its a boy. I was like that with both my boys and you could not tell I was pregnant from behind.On googling it seems weight out from shows a boy.

MY friend who was carrying at the same time as me was fat all over, enormous bottom and she had a girl.

Oh and thrush is normal because the acidity in your vagina is changing. Ask your midwife about solutions for this.

I was huge at the front and my bum lol I had a boy

I was totally convinced my third would be a girl. Even asked the midwife if she was 'sure'!!! it was a boy. Still gringe everytime I think of it. And no, I don't think carrying high/low, front/back makes a difference. You'll love it (the baby, that is) anyway. As to the thrush and discharges - unfortunately it is all 'normal'. Just wait until the little ..person.. won't sleep at night, and they hate their nursery/play group/school/university, and you don't know where they are or when they are coming in at night, or if they are safe whilst they are driving your car.. Don't tell you/warn you about any of this at ante-natal clinic! Mind you, after thinking about it all, I wouldn't change a moment.
