One of the only times that a secret can truly remain a secret (if you choose) is while your are pregnant. So guessing the sex of your baby by comparing your signs and symptoms to the various Old Wives Tales you read can be fun. There's a 50/50 chance you will be right. Since we did not finding out I thought this would be fun.
FYI, some may be to-much-information.
#1. If you are moody, you are having a girl because of all the extra female hormones.
Not me, must be a boy.
#2. It's a girl if your left breast is larger than your right breast. It's a boy if your right breast is larger than your left breast.
My right has always been slightly larger, must be a boy.
#3. Dark nipples are signs of a son.
Look the same to me, must be a girl
#4. If you eat garlic and the odor seeps out of your pores, then you're having a boy.
This always happens as garlic is water soluble. I haven't noticed this, must be a girl
#5. If your urine is bright yellow, it's a boy. A dull yellow means a girl.
Must be a boy
#6. If you experience heartburn or indigestion during pregnancy your baby will have a full head of hair.
This one has nothing to do with gender, but we'll have a hairy baby.
#7. No morning sickness, it’s a boy. A girl if you were sick or nauseous during your pregnancy.
Must be a boy
#8. A heart rate over 140 beats per minute(bpm), it's a girl. A boy's heart beat is slower.
Heart rate was 145-150, must be a girl. Patrick was always right about 140-145.
#9. If you crave salty foods it's a boy. If you crave sweets then it's a girl.
Must be a boy
#10. If you eat the ends of bread, it’s a boy. If you eat the middle of the load, it’s a girl.
I do both, must be twins a boy and a girl
#11. If dad gains weight, it's a girl. If his weight stays the same, it's a boy.
I haven't noticed a change.
#12. It's a girl if you get acne due to the increased levels of the female charged hormones. A girl steals her mother’s beauty.
Must be a boy
#13. If the linea nigra stops at the belly button, it's a girl. If the linea nigra goes all the way to the bottom of the rib cage, it's a boy.
Can't see one so I guess this one doesn't count.
#14. You got dry hands; it's a boy.
I always have dry hands, must be a boy.
#15. More hair on your legs than normal, count on a boy.
I think I've actually have less then normal, must be a girl
#16. If your nose gets bigger and wider, expect a boy.
So far it's the same, must be a girl.
#17. If your nose swells, it's a girl. Same pre-pregnancy nose, it's a boy.
Ha, ha, this is the exact opposite of number 16, must be a boy according to this one
#18. If your face swells and gets rounder, it's a girl. Long and narrow face, a boy.
No swelling, must be a boy
#19. Cold feet, a boy
Always cold feet, must be a boy
#20. If your legs get really big, means a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, a girl.
So far the same, must be a girl
#21. If you find yourself clumsier with pregnancy, it's a boy.
Yes, oh my, must be a boy.
#22. If you remain grounded and still in control of your body, it's a girl.
Grounded and still in control 90% of the time, must be a girl.
#23. If you're carrying low, it's a boy. If you're carrying high, it's a girl.
I think I'm carrying low, so boy
#24. If you're carrying in front, it's a boy. All around your middle, it's a girl.
Can't tell yet, so no guesses here.
#25. Loop your wedding ring in a piece of thread and let it dangle over your belly. If the rings swings in a back and forth motion, it's a girl. If the ring moves in a circular motion, paint the room blue.
Back a forth, must be a girl
#26. If you hold a necklace over your hand and it swings back and forth, it's a boy. A circular moving necklace, stock up on the pink.
Back and forth, must be a boy.
#27. When asked to show your hands and you show your palm, it's a girl. Palm down = a boy.
Must be a girl
#28. If a toddler shows interest in you, you are having the opposite sex of the toddler. For example, a girl toddler expresses interest in you means you are having a boy.
Haven't noticed, will have to check back
The Chinese Gender Chart says we are having a boy.
Grand total = 14 for boy, 10 for girl, and 5 can't tell.
I've also been seeing a trend right now. Since July 11 boys and 2 girls have been or will be born soon.
Edit note: I forgot two friends and had to update the numbers.
