Have you heard about this old wives tale?

Bárbara • I'm 28, and I have a beautiful baby girl born on May 30th, 2017 ^^ I also have a dog named Oliver and I love him lots!
Yesterday I went to the hospital with my mum and there was a woman with a baby boy there, my mum ask her if I could hold him to see if it cries because she says it means I'm having a boy or if he doesn't cry I'm having a girl (something like that) in the end I didn't hold him because it was so akward to me like I didn't even know this woman lol did you know about this tale?
