The “Dad’s Eating for Two” old wives’ tale is especially fun because instead of dealing with the pregnant woman it deals with the father-to-be. This superstition says that if the man gains weight alongside the woman, which is commonly referred to as “sympathy weight,” it means that she is having a girl.
This one has yet to be proven. It probably has more to do with how much the couple indulges in food throughout the pregnancy, if the woman chooses to eat a lot or eat in a more unhealthy manner, it’s likely that her partner will be right there alongside her.
