Old Wives Tales - Boy or Girl
I'm loving all the guesses and opinions on whether we are having pink or blue! Some people are really adamant how I'm carrying or look means I'm having one sex or the other. I thought I would answer some old wives tales and see the predictions.
#1 - Carrying high or low - I'm carrying high = Girl. I'm sure the way you carry is more to do with your body shape, muscle tone etc.
#2 - Linea Nigra - mine has just started to appear from belly button to pubic bone = Girl
#3 - Numbers - adding age at time of conception with month of time you conceived. Age was 30 month October (10) is 40 = Boy
#4 - Sweet, Salty or Sour - as you all know I've been craving jelly sweets & coca cola generally sweet stuff = Girl
#5 - Morning sickness - I felt sick but wasn't physically sick = Boy?
#6 - Wedding ring test - a friend of mine did this to me a result was swinging backwards/forwards rather than circles = Girl
#7 - How do you look - personally I feel I look like s*#% (what pregnant woman doesn't) but most people say I look glowing and radiant! = Boy
#8 - Sleep on Left or Right - I'm more of a right sleeper (although always wake on my back) = Girl
#9 - Belly shape - I think mines like a watermelon rather than basketball = Girl
#10 - Baby's Heart rate - I do have a Doppler at home (naughty) I haven't used it loads lately now I can feel lots of movement. Baby's heartbeat is usually around 150bpm it was 169bpm a few weeks ago = Girl. I do think this one can depend on baby's movements as if it's been active surely like us it would beat faster!
#11 - Chinese gender prediction - you can use http://content.thebump.com/sitelets/chinese-gender-chart/ mine says = Boy
#12 - Nub Theory - I try and predict all my friend baby's sex by the nub and so far haven't got it wrong! When I look at mine I think Girl
Let me know if any of your old wives tales were right or even what you think I'm having. Any prediction has a 50/50 chance if being right! X

When I compare those tales to my situation, most of them are right. I carry a boy:)
