Some fun gender prediction myths! Worth a laugh!
Just for fun ladies! Would be great to know if any are accurate to you all! happy pregnancies!
Old Wives Tale #1: Heart Rate If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy. (First time we heard the babies heartbeat it was at 144 bpm)
Old Wives Tale #2: Shape of BellyIf you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy. (I seem to definitely be BIG AND ROUND lol)
Old Wives Tale #3: Ring TestUsing a string, hang your wedding ring over your pregnant belly. You are having a girl if the ring swings back and forth and it’s a boy if it swings in a circle. (I think this test is rigged... steven made sure the ring would swing back and forth I swear)
Old Wives Tale #4: AcneIf you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones.
Old Wives Tale #5: CravingsPeople believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl.
old Wives Tale #6: Skin under Left EyeThe eye test is when a “V” or “branches” appear when you pull down the skin under your left eye. If you see a “V” or “branches” in the white part, you’re having a girl. I have a “V”, so one more point for a girl. (I've got a big V under there, though I question who came up with this one... kinda odd)
old Wives Tale #7: Time of ConceptionThe person that is most aggressive in bed at the time of conception is the opposite of what the baby will be. (Ummmm... this is a little confusing depending on your definition
old Wives Tale #8: LegsIf your legs get really big, you’re having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, it’s a girl. I think it’s too early for me to tell on this one. (Well, as far as I know I'm only gaining in the torso, legs seem to be the same)
old Wives Tale #9: Moodiness and a Little Pecker (this one is odd, but funny)If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy because there’s a little penis inside you. (Well... I'm just gonna give my prediction as I'm sure most of you know how I'm feeling these days)
old Wives Tale #10: Chinese Gender ChartThe Chinese Gender Chart claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the mother is at conception and the month that she conceived.
old Wives Tale #11: Mom’s BeautyBasically you are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, a little boy it is. (well... this is bias as my only comparison are friends and family and they lie I'm sure saying I look beautiful... liars lol. but in my opinion, I have definitely looked better!)
old Wives Tale #12: Dream of Sex of BabyIf you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having. (I've only had dreams of it being a boy, even before I ever got pregnant)
old Wives Tale #13: Clumsy vs. GracefulIf the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she’s having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she’s having a boy. (I'm pretty clumsy, have yet to fall but I'm running into things all the time)
old Wives Tale #14: Side You Most Rest OnIf a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl.
old Wives Tale #15: Dad’s Weight GainIf the dad-to-be gains weight while you are pregnant, it’s a girl. If he doesn’t gain weight, you’re having a boy.
old Wives Tale #16: Breast TestIf a pregnant woman’s left breast is larger than the right breast, she’s having a girl. If the right breast is larger, it’s a boy. (I can't tell if one is bigger than the other and neither can steven
old Wives Tale #17: What Do You Think?71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having.
Old Wives Tale #18: Morning SicknessIf you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it’s a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl. (Oh yea, I've been sick. it sucks.)
old Wives Tale #19: AreolaeIf your areolae (the part around your nips) have darkened, it’s a boy. If they haven't, its a girl.
old Wives Tale #20: ProteinWhen a pregnant woman craves meat and cheese, count on a boy. (I do like cheese still, and with meat I've found I only want red meat, though I'm not getting much)
old Wives Tale #21: FeetAre your feet colder now that you are pregnant? If so, you just might be having a boy. If your feet have stayed the same before pregnancy and during, you’re having a little girl.
old Wives Tale #22: HeadachesIf you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy.
old Wives Tale #23: Baby NamesIt is said that when you can only think of specific names for a boy or a girl, you will have that particularly baby. (steven and I can only solidly agree on our girls name, we're still back and forth about the boys name)
old Wives Tale #24: UrineWhat color is your pee? If it is bright yellow, you will have a little boy. If your urine is a dull yellow, plan on a girl.
