Here are some old wives tales regarding the sex of your baby! I wonder how true they really are....

Has anyone on this forum ever guessed the correct sex of other users babies, time and time again?? And has anyone ever had all the 'symptoms' of the old wives tales and the sex turned out to be true??

Would love to know...its so fun these guessing games lol

- If you prefer sleeping on your left side, you'll have a boy. Right side? A girl.

- Extreme nausea means you are having a girl.

- If your hands are dry, you are having a boy; soft -- expect a girl.

- If you're craving citrus, you're having a girl.

- If your skin breaks out, expect a girl.

- If you feel graceful during pregnancy, you'll have a girl. Clumsy? It's a boy.

- If you gain weight in your face, it means you're having a girl.

- Craving salt? Expect a boy. A little something sweet? You're having a girl.

- If your right breast is larger than the left, you are having a girl. If the left is larger, a boy.

- Feeling extremely moody? Expect a girl.

- If baby is low, expect a boy. High, it's a girl.

- If you're carrying in front, it's a boy. All around your middle? A girl.

So what am I having?!?!

I just dont know lol
 
no i think ill have another girl looking at the results. I have the same kinds of traits thistime as i did with the others. The only thing different is my bump shape. But thats a load of rubbish i think.
 
Its hard isnt it? I know people that have had boys and have hardly shown at all and people that have had boys and been massive, same with girls.

I think alot of it is down to baby's position, the strength of your stomach muscles and body shape
 
true. im most likely so big coz its my 4th and my tummys been stretched. but I was smaller with my 3rd than with my second.
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm dont think we will ever know why these things happen

Exactly hun :?
I keep doing those little gender prediction tests online,but now i cheat cause i know what you need to tick to get BOY!!!! :wall: :rotfl: xx
 
I know this is what puzzles me....im gonna find out lol
 
Here is some info on bump height apparantly the TRUTH? :?

If you're carrying high, it's a girl. Oh, sure, this is true. Just like if you refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread, then you're having a girl. It's a boy if your hands are dry. It's a girl if you crave orange juice. And it's a boy if your feet are cold.

"Everyone wants to offer their opinion," says Lyuba Konopasek, M.D., a pediatrician at New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center. "When I was pregnant, I had all kinds of people on the street tell me the gender of my baby-to-be."

While there is absolutely no truth to the carrying high or low wives' tale, says Jonathan Schaffir, M.D., an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Ohio State University, the myth persists because "you have a 50-50 chance of being right." The only thing carrying high means is that it is probably your first pregnancy. The girdle-like muscles that hold the uterus against the spine and keep the baby high above the pelvis become more elastic with each pregnancy, so the belly may hang lower each time (you may start showing earlier, too).
 
:rotfl: :rotfl:

Its all myths really but good fun nevertheless!
 
It is fun Jaidy!

I spent the whole of the first tri puking but most other old wives tales pointed to a boy, including the heartbeat being lower than 140 and sounding like a train. I couldn't touch citrus fruits in the first tri and even orange squash made me sick! Everyone kept telling me I'll have a boy!

As soon as I had my scan and found out I'm having a girl my bump started looking like a girl bump, I became addicted to oranges and sweets and everyone tells me they can tell I'm having a girl! I guess that's easy when you know isn't it :lol:

Try this girls for a bit of fun,maybebaby posted it in off topic :D xx

This is what i got :D

Madame Zaritska's reading

What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be windy. Your baby will arrive in the evening.

After a labor lasting approximately 5 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 9 pounds, 15 ounces, and will be 18-1/2 inches long. This child will have light blue eyes and be almost bald.


Happy with all of that apart from the 9lb 15oz's bit ,maybe knock a couple of pound off that and i would say perfect xx
 
Hey Nikki that was well fun!!

I did it twice though with the same answers and got two totally different readings!!! :shock:
