You know what is funny? People become fortune tellers when they are around pregnant ladies. Suddenly, their inner crystal balls urge them to tell a pregnant woman that she is having a boy/girl. Said pregnant woman are -- most likely -- in their early stages of pregnancy so to refute or acknowledge a wanna-be fortune teller's prediction with the result of an ultra sound is not possible.

Said fortune tellers base their prediction on the lunar calendar, the shape of the pregnant woman's belly, the glow (or absence thereof) of the woman's face, etc. The 50% chance of predicting the right sex of the baby seem to encourage these fortune tellers even more.

I am on my 3rd month of pregnany. Friends, strangers and, yes, even family have turned into fortune tellers.

However, since I am pragmatic, I have classified all these well-meaning predictions about my 2nd baby's sex as myth. It's fun and I can't wait for half of them to tell me "I told you so..." when the baby's sex is finally revealed by an ultra sound.
