no, the shape of the belly does not indicate the baby's sex

The position of the baby is not indicative of babies sex.
So carrying high or low is not an indication of boy or girl. Also the shape of your belly does not mean boy or girl either. Also in the belly size and shape department, a rather large belly doesn’t mean you will have a rather large baby.

Myth: The shape and height of your belly can indicate your baby's sex.
Truth: The popular belief that women carrying boys carry low and women carrying girls carry high just isn't true. The shape and height of your belly is determined by your muscle tone, uterine tone, and the position the baby is in. That's why someone may think you're having a boy because you're carrying low, when actually the baby just dropped lower into the pelvis because you are closer to delivery

so to all those who told us Anne was carrying a boy... it does not work!
