Belly shape
For centuries, people have believed that the shape of a woman's belly can indicate the sex of her unborn child.
According to popular belief, a round belly predicts the birth of a boy, while a more pointed belly indicates a girl.
Some explain this by the difference in the position of the baby in the womb or by the peculiarities of the mother's figure.
