Old wives’ tales
Testing out all of those old wives’ tales about gender prediction was one of my very favorite parts of pregnancy😂 (until I actually knew my baby’s gender 😍) I’m gonna use (👍🏻👎🏻) for what actually felt like yes or no!
So here it is!!
1. If I’m carrying high(girl) or low(boy)? I’m not really showing much so far so I think I’ll be testing this once I actually have a bump😂🤰🏻🤷🏻♀️
2. Pregnancy acne? (If yes it’s a girl)
I had them in first trimester now I’m all glowing 💁🏻♀️ (👍🏻)
3. Glowing skin then boy! (👎🏻)
4. Have you noticed a change in your body temperature? If you’re feeling cold and icy, it’s a boy! Hot and sweaty? It’s a girl!
I had icy feet all day every day! So (👎🏻)
5. Typically, what is baby’s heart rate? An old wives’ tale claims that slower heart rates (under 140 bpm) means boy, while heart rates over 140 means girl.
Well my baby was 150 so (👍🏻)
6. Have you noticed any significant cravings? If you’re craving sweet things, you’re having a girl. If you’re craving salty or sour foods, it’s a boy.
I literally couldn’t and still can’t eat sweet things at all! I’m carving salty food like pickles all the time (👎🏻)
7. Chinese calendar?
Said it was a girl (👍🏻)
8. Have you dealt with morning sickness? An old wives’ tale states that sickness means it’s a girl. If not, then boy!
Not even a little bit😂 (👎🏻)
9. The ring test! The fun test😂 tie your wedding ring to a string, and hang it above your pregnant belly. If it swings in a circle, you’re having a boy. If it swings back and forth, get ready for a girl! (👍🏻)
10. If your husband also put on some baby weight, an old wives’ tale says it’s a girl! Well yeah (👍🏻)
11. swollen legs or ankles? Rumor has it, it’s a boy! I had awfully swollen ankles and feet!! (👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻)
12. Dreams! Rumor has it that your baby’s gender is opposite of the gender you dream about. Yes! I dreamt twice that I’m having a boy and it’s a girl (👍🏻)
13. frequent headaches during your pregnancy? If so, you could be having a boy! Omg no! I had headaches in first trimester for almost everyday! 🤦🏻♀️(👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻)
14. If your urine is bright yellow, it’s a boy. If your urine is light or dull in color, it’s a girl. (👍🏻)
15. How is your mood? If you’re happy or mellow, expect a boy. If you’re moody, it’s a girl. Well (👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻)😂😂
