7. Horrible morning sickeness is a boy
8. back pain means it's a boy
9. You cannot go to a funeral or view a dead person when pregnant I not sure what happens if you do)
10. Excessive heart burn means the baby has a lot of hair on the head
11. If your skin complexion gets dark that means the baby will be brown in complexion
12. Drinking certain bush tea or drinking cornmeal porrdidge will make the baby skin nice and smooth (lol, this one is courtesy of mi madda, lord bless her heart lol.)
13. The umbilical cord can wrap around the babies neck if you cross your legs. ( well yes, i think this one takes the cake. Can you believe the girl tried to argue me down when i told her it was scientifically imposible). She said that's what they beleive in Guyana....hmmmmmmmm. I'll be nice to the Guyanese today lol.

I can't remember what they said about the nose spreading and the elephantitis and so on. Only God knows how the people come up with some of these things. I was trying to aim for 15 but i got stuck. As i said before ADD to mi list.
