a boy or a girl?

All around the world, people have multiple ways of determining whether a woman is expecting a boy or a girl. Of all the versions I heard so far, my favourite one is this: "If you are expecting a boy, you become more beautiful during pregnancy, if you are expecting a girl - well, that makes you more ugly." It makes me wonder whether this superstition is related to the preference given to boys in Albania.
