This is one that almost all pregnant women have heard before. If you’re carrying low, down in the front, your baby is supposed to be a boy. If you are carrying high, or wide in the middle, it’s said that your baby will be a girl. This is one of oldest wives tales out there, and most people agree that it’s just a myth, but it’s still fun to predict it anyway.
Here’s another one that almost everybody already knows. If the baby’s heartbeat is fast (over 140 beats per minute), the baby is most likely a girl. If the baby’s heartbeat is slow, (under 140 beats per minute), the baby is probably a boy. There have been a few studies that have been done that show that this old myth might actually be true, but most experts agree not to put too much faith in it.
Here’s a fun one that is a little bit silly. Tie a ring to a piece of string or even hair. Hold the string very still over your belly. If the ring swings back and forth, your baby is a boy. If it swings in a circle, you’re having a girl. While there is no “real” scientific evidence that this one works, but ancient Chinese medicine says that the ring swings (or sways) as a sign of the body’s forces at work.
This one is a little bit wacky, and a little bit out there, but the women who try it, swear it works! If you pee into a cup of Drano, and the solution turns green, it’s a girl. However, if the mixture turns blue, it’s a boy. Experts say that there is no reason why this would work, and that you shouldn’t be breathing in that solution either. However, women that have tried this method say that it does work!
Another fun way to tell what you are having? It depends on what you are craving during your pregnancy! If you are craving sugar, sweets, and everything nice, you are probably having a girl. However, if your cravings are more for sour or salty treats, your baby is probably a boy.
This is an ancient (and we do mean ancient!) way of telling what gender your baby will be. The Chinese lunar calendar takes into consideration the mother’s age, and the date in which the baby was conceived, and tells you what gender your baby will be.
