Acne/ Gender Guess?

I have acne on my chin and have had it the entire pregnancy.  (Im 27 weeks) I went to get a facial yesterday and she told me this means that I am having a boy??  Has anyone else heard this or had experience?

I've always heard the opposite based on a girl "steals the mother's beauty".  I had bad break outs with DS and I do with this LO too (we don't know the sex yet)

I think this is an old wives tale like everything else, but it certainly has been true for me.  Even though I had acne before, it's been more on my chin where I didn't used to get it, and I'm having a boy.

I don't think acne has anything to do with gender, sorry. I'm all for wives tales, but I don't think this has any substance.

I know a girl who's acne got worse and she had a girl - but again, I don't think gender plays a role on acne

I have zero acne with my first, he is a boy. This one I have had acne, he is also a boy! So for me, no correlation.

I've heard girls steal your beauty but I had worse acne with my son than I do now. I don't know what I'm having yet through so we'll see.

Never a breakout in my life until pregnancy and found out Thursday that we're having a boy. I've heard that every pregnancy, regardless of gender can have different symptoms though...
