Swollen feet/ankles and baby's gender

[Zivic-Bubac]

I've found on-line that if you have swollen feet and/or ankles, you're probably carrying a boy.
Or it your right foot is more swollen, it's a boy.

In my 2 previous pregnancies I had no swelling, this time my right foot and ankle are swollen and painful. I elevate my right leg and do everything my dr recommended but it doesn't get much better.

Please share your experiences!

Important: I don't need lecturing about swelling being a pregnancy symptom regardless of gender blah, blah...

Hi,

I didn't get any swelling with either of my first two pregnancies that were both boys, too early to know for this one yet!

Boy!!!!!! With DS1 my feet and ankles were balloons! DH joked about my "cankles" frequently and took pics of them at the hospital. I did end up having high blood pressure, but not true preeclampsia.

Boy!!!!!!

Cool!
I have high blood pressure too in this pg, not preeclampsia, my ob/gyn prescribed me methyl-dopa, now pressure is normal.

My legs and ankles are swollen and I'm having a boy, and I have gained more weight now at this point then I did total with my girls, I just tell everyone my ass is just swollen too

How are you feeling? You don't have much longer now, I'm so jealous

interesting post.. def had some swelling with both boys..now nothing so far.
I also found that when preg with the boys I ate constantly!!! I was so hungry all the time. I am not with this preg and have not gained nearly as much weight at this point as I did with the boys....I wonder if there is any link to that.
They say you eat more if you are carrying a boy...any thought?

I was thinking about swelling this morning! The lady on television had very swollen ankles--she was pregnant with twins (boy and girl). I've been lucky to never have swelling at all.

I'm fine, thanks for asking Ready to deliver this baby like 2 weeks ago, but she won't cooperate

Good luck!!!!! Have you gotten any gender clues about your baby or just guessing girl based on feeling?
