Keep yourself entertained for 20 weeks

IN the nicest possible way, being pregnant is a bit dull. No clubbing, no roller coasters, no eating smelly French cheese.

Is it any wonder then a considerable amount of a mum's-to-be time is devoted to the exciting pastime that is predicting the sex of her child.

Why find out at the 20-week scan and deny yourself another 20 weeks of gender-guessing fun.

Here's a quiz for bored pregnant women everywhere...

You're carrying a girl if:
You eat a clove of garlic, but you don't smell of it
Your pillow faces south when you sleep
Your left breast is bigger than your right

You're carrying a boy if:
Your nose is spreading.
The hair on your legs has been growing faster during pregnancy.
You were the most aggressive partner during love-making at the time of conception.

There's more! Knock yourself out at Babycentre.

Alternatively, head to Marks and Spencer on Colmore Row. The check-out woman there (mid-forties, blonde curly hair, Till Four) reckons I'm having a boy.

I hope it wasn't the fat snout and furry calves...
