When pregnant if the child is carried high it's a boy and if
carried low it's a girl.

James Callow comment: Of the five items in Puckett, Ohio, only no. 719 (from a
student nurse of English, Irish, Scottish heritage) equates a male
baby with high carriage; the four items in no. 720 all say that a
fetus carried low will turn out to be a boy.
